By HASKELL COHEN

(Copyright 1980, JTA, Inc.)

Saoul Mamby is a black,
Jewish boxer who at 32, has
become the super light-
weight champion of the
world.
Although he is strong and
feels like a kid of 19, for a
fighter, 32 is considered
passe. Nevertheless,
Mamby in his recent de-
fense of his title, fighting on
the under card to the
Holmes-LeDoux
heavyweight championship
held in Minneapolis, wal-
•lopped the daylights out of
his opponent. He has a re-
cord of 29 wins, 12 losses
and five draws.
Mamby has been fighting
16 years, two as an amateur
and the other. 14 in the pro
ranks. He said that he'll
continue to pursue his
career so long as "God per-
mits me." He is a firm be-
liever in the Almighty and
feels that his destiny is
wrapped up in what the
man upstairs wants him to
do.
A veteran of the Viet-
nam War, where he
served one year and six
days, (he can give you the
exact minutes and sec-
onds) Mamby is a be-
liever in fate. I pointed
out to him that a
heavyweight champion
was slated to fight an ex-
hibition match in Israel
in the not too distant past
and he cancelled out at
the last minute because
of a flare-up on the
Lebanese border.
Mamby said: "I can see
where he would be
frightened off by that sort of
thing, but after surviving
Vietnam for over a year, I'm
willing and ready to go to
Israel to defend my title.
Just get me a nice Jewish
competitor over there, or
bring in a fighter who is
ranked highly in my weight
and I'll be glad to perform
my duties in the ring before
my co-religionists."
The young fighter ex-
plained that he is a Jew by
conversion. "First my
mother converted and then
my father converted and
subsequently I was brought
into the faith. I attended
Hebrew school in The Bronx
on Boston Road. All my
classmates were Black and
we were taught by an Elder
who was attached to the late
Rabbi Matthew's
synagogue. I learned how to
read Hebrew and I started
the studying of the Bible in
Hebrew."
He attended, as a youth,
the synagogue every Sab-
bath and was brought up in,
what he terms, a kosher
home. To this very day he
does not mix meat and dairy
foods at any given meal. He
remembers very well that
his mother observed this
-tradition very cautiously
and he still maintains the
belief, to an extent, in kas-
hruth. He does not eat any
pig products or shell fish.
"I don't attend services
with any regularity,
mainly because I'm not
located near a synagogue

where I live uptown,"
Mamby explained. "I
once walked quite a dis-
tance to attend High Holy
Day services, but I was
turned off by the fact that
the gentleman at the door
wanted me to pay to
enter.
"I felt and feel now that
people should be free to
attend any denomination
without having to pay to
enter. If I want to make a
contribution to a synagogue
and/or a church, I would do
it out of faith and desire, not
out of pressure." I tried to
explain to Mamby that
since attendances at
synagogue are heavy only
on the High Holidays the
temples have to adhere to
the practice of charging for
tickets to the services.
Mamby just wouldn't buy
this type of thinking.
Why did Mamby's success
come along so late in his
career? He believes that had
he permitted himself to be
exploited as a Jewish
fighter he might have made
it much sooner. He defi-
nitely refused to be shown
off as a Jewish pugilist, par-
ticularly in Miami where
there is a plethora of Jewish
boxing fans.
It was suggested that he
wear chaff necklaces and a
Magen David on his trunks
and he refused to do so. Con-
sequently, it is his belief
that he was held back by his
refusal to exploit his
Judaism, something several
fighters, white and black,
have done, albeit they are
not anywhere near the
Jewish individual that our
current super lightweight
champion is.

Rabbi Testifies
on Medical Ethics

WASHINGTON — Tes-
timony opposing legislation
to establish the time of
death was presented to the
President's Commission for
the Study of Ethical Prob-
lems in Biomedical and Be-
havioral Research recent
y by Rabbi J. David Bleich
of Agudath Israel of
America.
Rabbi Bleich, a professor
of law at the Cardozo School
of law at Yeshiva Univer-
sity, told the commission
that Jewish law demands
that all respiratory and car-
diac activity cease before a
patient may be pronounced
dead.
