One group denounced the government for refusing to allow Jews to pray on the site which contains major Islamic shrines. The other contended that Jews are forbidden to go there as long as the Temple has not been rebuilt. The skirmish, which police said was minor, was the only event that marred Tisha b'Av, the day of mourning over the destruc- tion of the First and Second Temples. Large numbers of observant Jews gathered at the Western Wall during the day to read from the Book of Lamentations and chant prayers.

Channel 13 is a public service sta- tion. In a letter to Robert Kot- lowitz, president of WNET-TV, Jacqueline Levine, chairperson of the AJCongress National Gov- erning Council, declared: The American Jewish Congress is deeply dis- turbed that Channel 13 is presenting, for a second time, The Confessions of Winfred Wagner,' described in your 'Community Alert' as 'a close friend of Adolf Hitler for 22 years' who 're- veals why she became a Nazi and other facts about her life.' This wretched and deeply offensive film when first broadcast resulted in numerous letters to us from our members in the Met- ropolitan area expressing their deep dismay at its pre- sentation. It is doubly dis- tressing that it shoud be honored with a seco- showing." • God Wept When He Handed Down the Law By LEO SCHNEIDERMAN Temple Beth El — Helen L.
