Jewish Leader Lauds, Blasts Begin a-n d= Carter-in SZ Talk

•

By HEIDI P4ESS
President Carter and Is-
rael Prime Minister
Menahem , Begin earned
praise for their roles in the
recent peace negotiations
from Theodore Mann,
president of-the _Conference
of Presidents of American
Jewish Organizations, who
addressed the community
Sunday at Cong. Shaarey
Zedek.
Speaking on behalf of the
synagogue's cultural com-
mission, Mann said
President Carter "is
entitled to our thanks" for
keeping his promise of mak-
ing peace in the Middle East
a major aim of his foreign
policy agenda.
"Carter brought extraor-

Jewish people — not only in

Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat to take matters into
his own hands by making
his . historic trip to
Jerusalem in 1977.
He criticized the Israeli
leader for establishing
new settlements in the
disputed areas in
January 1978.
The Jewish leader said
that "Israel is an important
friend" to the U.S., and
since the turmoil in Iran,
"Israel is looked upon as an
important strategic interest
in the Middle East for the
protection of U.S. interests
there."
Asked during a question
and answer period why he
didn't discuss Sadat's role
during his talk, Mann said
