ROME (JTA) — The ter-
rorist attack on a group of
Jewish youths in Antwerp
July 27, which resulted in
the death of 15-year-old
David Kohane, and injuries
to 20 other persons, has
shocked Italian Jews. After
the Syrian-born killer, 25-
year-old Abdel Wahid, re-

his mission from Rome and
was due to return here, con-

community.
Jews want additional
safety measures to be
adopted when the large
Jewish school on the Tiber
reopens in September. For
several years, parents of the
700-800 children have or-
ganized a "father patrol" on
constant guard outside the
building.
A group of Dutch Jewish
women in Amsterdam have
formed a committee,
Mothers Help Jewish Chil-
dren, to organize a solidar-
ity campaign and raise
funds for those who were
wounded in the Antwerp at-
tack.
In Paris, Zionist militants
tried to occupy the local
Palestine Liberation
Organization office in pro-
test against what they
called the "Antwerp blood-
bath" but were prevented
from doing so by the police.

spirit which rekindled
the hope of so many Jews
who were aided by such

Orthodox Stand
on Intermarriage
Irks Schindler
GREAT BARRINGTON,
Mass. — An Orthodox
Jewish leader's call for the
elimination from leadership
roles in Jewish life of all
persons who married out of
their faith was assailed last
month by the head of
American Reform Judaism
as "an inquisition that has
no place in an open, free and
pluralistic Jewish commu-
nity."
According to Rabbi Ale-
xander M. Schindler,
president of the Union of
American Hebrew Congre-
gations (UAHC), "One can
oppose intermarriage and
seek to mitigate its spread'
without pillorying the in-
termarried. Jewish life has
no need of witch-hunts."
Rabbi Schindler made the
remark at the dedication of
the Kivie Kaplan Center,
named for the late Reform
Jewish leader who also
served as board chairman of
the National Association for
the Advancement of
Colored People. The build-
ing will serve as a confer-
ence center for the UAHC's
Eisner Camp Institute.
