Sheikh's Murder in Gaza Strip Worries Israel

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Is-
raeli circles expressed con-
cern that the murder of
Sheikh Hashem Al-
Huzander outside his home
in Gaza Friday night may
be the beginning of a wave
of political assassinations
by terrorists aimed against
Palestinian leaders who
support the autonomy plan
for the West Bank and Gaza
Strip.
The 70-year-old Imam
(religious leader), head of a
prominent Gaza family, was
found dead of stab wounds
at his doorstep shortly after
he finished conducting eve-
ning services at the Imari
mosque, the largest in Gaza.
The Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine
claimed in a broadcast from
Beirut that its agents were
responsible for the killing
and warned that the same
fate awaits all "col-
laborators" and supporters
of the autonomy plan. The
broadcast named Mayor
Rashid A-Shawa of Gaza as
next in line for execution.
Ironically, Huzander
was, in many ways, a
Palestinian militant. He
publicly declared his
support of the Palestine
Liberation Organization
and its claim to be the
sole legitimate represen-
tative of the Palestinian
people. In the pre-
statehood period he was
a follower of Haj Amin
el-Husseini, the notori-
ous Grand Mufti of
Jerusalem who collabo-
rated with the Nazis.
He was a founder of the
anti-Israel Moslem
Brothers organization in
the Gaza Strip. Of his five
sons, three were active
members of Palestinian ter-
rorist organizations. One, a
lieutenant colonel in El
Fatah, was killed during a
terrorist raid on Nahariya
in 1973.
But Sheikh Huzander,
- while not moderating his
political views, sought a
modus vivendi with Israel

after the 1967 Six-Day War
when the Gaza Strip came
under Israeli administra-
tion. He supported the peace
initiative of President
Anwar Sadat and visited
Egypt twice in the last six
months.
An attempt was made on
Huzander's life five months
ago. He had been under 24-
hour guard but after his last
trip to Egypt has asked that
the guard be removed be-
cause he was convinced no
one would harm him.
Meanwhile, the PLO
took responsibility for a
bomb explosion in a
Jerusalem book store on
Saturday that injured
three persons.
In Brazil, the government
has recognized the PLO "as

Reform Publish Individual
Guide to Jewish Practice

NEW YORK — "The in-
dividual Jew is the primary
focus of Judaism and it's
about time we dealt with
that concept," said Rabbi
3imeon J. Maslin, editor of
"Gates of Mitzva: A Guide to
the Jewish Life Cycle." "Not
Israel, not the sxnagogue,
not the great philanthropic
institutions of American
Jewry, but the individual
Jew in the midst of home,
family or alone." Rabbi
Maslin edited the volume
for publication by the Cen-
tral Conference of Ameri-
can Rabbis.
"Mitzva" literally means
commandment, but in
"Gates of Mitzva" it is used
to signify obligations aris-
ing out of history or reli-
gious culture. "Gates of
Mitzva" is a deliberate ef-
fort by the Reform Move-
ment to establish specific
guidelines for Jewish prac-
tice in such areas as raising
a family, marriage, death,

the sole legitimate repre-
sentative of the Palestinian
people" but has refused to
authorize the opening of a
PLO office in Brasilia.
Foreign ministry sources
say the ban will continue as
long as the PLO engages in
terrorism.
In Israel, the navy inter-
cepted and sank a speed
boat Sunday night off the
Lebanese coast which con-
tained terrorists armed
with Katyusha rockets.
Seven terrorists involved in
a similar incident near

keeping a Jewish home, the
single-parent Jewish fam-
ily, dietary traditions and
divorce.
It also comes to grips with
such contemporary prob-
lems as equality of women,
changing concepts of sexual
morality, abortion,
euthanasia, organ trans-
plants, etc."
