10 Friday, Jcinutn'Y 14, 1977 THE DETROIT JEWISH' NEWS LZA Advises No Meddling NEW YORK — The head of the Labor Zionist Alliance asserted that there is a tendency among American Jews to become participants in the Israeli electoral con- test. Dr. Judah J. Shapiro, president the LZA, re- minded "those who are proud of the democracy of Israel that they must allow the democratic process to function freely and without outside in- terference." Shapiro decried the re- cent meeting of American Jews with the represen- tatives of the Palestinian Liberation Organization as a "sign of that ten- dency to take over re-* sponsibilities which are the sole property of the Israelis themselves." Israel Exports Nameless Oranges TEL AVIV (ZINS)— In last year's export season, large shipments of "anonymous oranges" were sent out of the port at Haifa to countries which have severed their diplomatic relations with Israel. While they do not maintain official rela- tions with Israel, they still like Israeli oranges very much and they pay a good price for them. The only condition that they posed was that there should be no indication that the oranges come Is- rael. Thus, the oranges and crates carry no Is- raeli markings. MILWAUKEE (JTA) — Mayor Henry W. Maier proclaimed Jan. 6 as "Proclaim Liberty Day" in the city in honor of the dramatic musical pageant "Proclaim Lib- erty," the national United Jewish Appeal show which stars Herschel Bernardi and Theodore Bikel. The mayor's proclama- tion stated that "Proc- laim Liberty," which por- trays the heritage of the Jewish people and its yearning for freedom, is "meaningful to all cul- tural, racial and ethnic groups in Milwaukee." The play was sponsored by a number of Jewish Federations throughout the country.

By BEN GALLOB NEW YORK (JTA) — A Yeshiva University offi- cial reported that a space satellite link will be put into operation in the spring by which rabbinic responsa — replies to questions on Jewish re- ligious law and social cus- toms — stored in a com- puter at Bar Ilan Univer- sity in Israel will be beamed to a university facility at its main center in Manhattan. The $1 million project, partly funded by a three-year $175,000 grant from the National En- dowment for the Humanities, a federal agency, was announced by Dean David Mirsky, acting vice president for Yeshiva University academic affairs, and Dr. Aaron Schreiber, for the Israeli university. Pri- vate funds will make up the rest of the budget, Mirsky said. He noted that there are about 500,000 responsa in existence, authored by some 3,000 authorities over 12 centuries, reflect- ing the oldest applied legal tradition in the Western world. Mirsky said the re- sponsa were invaluable for the study of history, lan- guage, literature, religion, Jewish-Christian and Jewish-Moslem relations, law, political science and "all facets of human rela- tionships." The first text chosen for computer storage was the responsa of Ray Yitzhak Bar Sheshea of Spain and North Africa, a 14th Cen- tury scholar who pre- pared 518 responsa of more than 500,000 words. Since then, more material - has been stored, a process accelerated by installa- tion of a large IBM com- puter at Bar Ilan. Requests for, informa- tion stored in the Bar Ilan computer will be made through Yeshiva Univer- sity whose computer will activate the Bar Ilan facility via the satellite. The computer in Israel will run the request through the nearly 24,000 responsa now stored in its data bank, representing a total of 24 million words in Hebrew and Aramaic. The satellite will trans- mit the requested infor- mation to the Yeshiva Uni- versity computer for analysis and print-out. Mirsky said plans call for storage of up to 50,000 re- sponsa by April and 100,000 within a few years. Israel Patrol Is Fired Upon for information and reservations j uk • From the Heavens Come Forth Rabbinic Wisdom Via Satellite - TEL AVIV (JTA) — An Israeli patrol came under fire from across the Lebanese border last Friday night. The fire -was returned. Na casualties were re- ported. The incident occurred on a road near Baram where an Israeli school bus was ambushed by terrorists several years ago. Hotel Miami Beach's @ Finest Glatt Kosher Cuisin RESERVE NOW FOR PASSOVER CANTOR VICTOR GELD DAVID MIRSKY The dean said that for modern rabbinic au- thorities or scholars, the problem is how to track down specific information in the massive rabbinic literature which, he said, has never been indexed. Mirsky added that the information retrieval problem was considered unmanageable until a group of scientists from the Weizmann Institute, the Hebrew University, and Bar Ilan University began in 1967 to explore the possibilities of using a computer for that pur- pose. The dean said that in 1970 the project was cen- tered at Bar Ilan, gaining support from the Na- tional Endowment and other grant agencies. Mirsky said the Bar Ilan computer scans all the re- sponsa stored in its data bank to find requested in- formation. He said the project also will have the capacity to check out all grammatical variants for every key phrase on which the com- puter might be ques- tioned, seeking.infinitive forms, conjugations, tenses and related var- iants. He said some words in the responsa could have tho'usands of such variants. Mirsky said that through the satellite- linked computers, "any- one in the Western Hemisphere who desires access to the Israeli re- trieval unit can turn to Yeshiva University."
