What was built first? Not apartment houses. Skyscrapers! And I noticed especially new insurance company office buildings. "When this trend began I do not remember exactly, but it was relatively early. But I do know that at the same time — not only back then, but also today, the ruins of synagogues in Germany were and are not being reconstructed be- cause the Jewish congrega- Vegetables Battle Continues PHOTOGRAPHY 26571 W. 12 Mile Rd. 352-7030 JERUSALEM (JTA) — The Ministry of Agriculture • * EL; AL' ISRAEL $1295 4 WEEKS — 3 MEALS DAILY Plus 15% for tips. taxes Subject to change • EL AL FULL SIGHTSEEING • DAILY PROGRAMS YOUNG ISRAEL TOURS 103 Park Ave New York.

I can think of many cities where this is true. Be- rlin is an exception; here the synagogue has been rebuilt. It too had been burned out, like all of them in Germany — they are closed now and just stand there, while the insurance company build- ings of which I am speaking in this poem are sprouting up like castles. "This is a fact which any- one can verify. I do not have to presuppos6 much. If I bring these two ideas to- gether in a short poem, and what is more, employ a cer- tain kind of irony, then I can expect that far more people will understand me and grasp what I am driving at than if I wrote a political editorial." Other Wayne State Uni- versity Press books just published include: "Savage Ruskin" by 'Patrick Conner, an Ox- ford scholar. It is a com- mentary on John Ruskin (1819-1900), described as "the most powerful critic Britain has known, and also the most violently outspoken, the man who combined rare genius with immense bigotry." "On Improving the Status of Women," by Theodore . Gottlieb von Hippel, was first published in Germany in 1792. It has been redisco- vered and translated into English by Timothy F. Seller. —P.S. VISA, DINERS MASTERCMARGE wants to pay settlers in moshav Neot Sinai near El Arish, some IL 20 million ($800,000) in compensation for the vegetable fields they had to give up when El Arish was handed over to the Egyptians last May. After a violent confronta- tion with Israel Defense Force soldiers, the settlers agreed to give up their fields after they were promised adequate compensation. However, members of the Knesset Finance Commit- tee claim that the ministry had actually proposed to pay double the value of the fields. They said that an assessor from the ministry calculated the value of the fields as if they were covered with sophisticated hot houses, although most of them served to grow watermelons. committee is The scheduled to review the compensation request. Rabbi Isaac asked Rabbi Aba: "One poor man did not leave a stone unturned to procure some bread, then came another and took it away from him. How would you term the second?" — "A wicked person," answered Rabbi Aba. Satmar Hasidic Leader Teitelbaum Dies NEW YORK (JTA) — Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum, spiritual leader of the Sat- mar Hasidic movement, died Aug. 19 at age 93. He was buried in a pri- vate cemetery on the grounds of Kiryas Joel, the 340-acre village he helped establish in Monroe in up- state New York. The rabbi had led the Satmar Hasidim in Brook- lyn's Williamsburg section and the Naturei Karta in Jerusalem. Rabbi Teitelbaum, who was an opponent of Zionism and the state of Israel, maintaining that only the Messiah could create a Jewish state, was born in Sigut, Romania. He founded the Satmar yeshiva move- ment in nearby Satu Mare in 1906. At age 17, he succeeded his father as chief rabbi of the Satmar Hasidic move- ment in Hungary and re- - mained its leader until the outbreak of World War II, when he was imprisoned in the Bergen-Belsen concen- tration camp. He escaped several times and eventually went to Is- rael where he became the chief rabbi of the Satmar Hasidim there. He was sought after by politicians. In 1968, Vice President Hubert Hum- phrey called upon Rabbi Teitelbaum at his home in Brooklyn where he had set- tled to discuss tensions be- tween some black militants U.S. and USSR Will Trade Data WASHINGTON Newsweek magazine says the U.S. and Soviet Union will cooperate in an effort to prevent terrorism at the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. The USSR reportedly ap- proached American officials with the request for infor- mation on terrorists. In ex- change, the U.S. will re- ceive data on drug traffick- ing in countries in the Soviet sphere, including Vietnam and Afghanistan. and the Jewish community. Last March, the rabbi appeared at a rally in Madison Square Garden attended by some 5,000 to protest a road project in Jerusalem they consid- ered an interference with the observance of the Sabbath. Rabbi Teitelbaum also was president of the Central Rabbinical Congress of the United States and Canada which reportedly represents more than 250,000 Hasidim. His wife, Feiga, is his only immediate survivor. EXCALIBUR Hair Styling Salon ALEX CARWANA Hair Styling and Hairpiece Expert •353-4848 Call for your appt. 24901 Northwestern Suite 111 Heritage Bldg.
