`The Exile of the Word"
E by Andre Neher,
received the Remem-
_ce Award in 1978, is an
Jquent, wide-ranging dis-
sertation on the major
theological questions aris-
ing out of the Holocaust.
Why, it asks, did God choose
to be silent at precisely such
a moment?
It proceeds to a general
analysis of God's and man's
silence in the Bible present-
ing Abraham, Job, and the
prophets in an entirely new
light — one which connects

State Dept. Ambivalent Over
Lebanon Severing Israel Tie

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The State Department was
ambivalent Tuesday about
reports that the Lebanese
Christians might break
their ties with Israel.
Department spokesman
Dean Fischer had a "no
comment" when he was
asked about a news report
that a Phalangist leader
announced that the Chris-
tian Group would sever its
ties with Israel. Fischer said
that the U.S. would wel-
come any move that reduced
tensions in Lebanon and he
said that if a Phalangist
break with Israel "led to a
reduction in tension" the
U.S. "would regard it as a
hopeful sign."
The Arab League com-
mittee which has been cre-
dited with the easing of ten-
sions in the Christian vil-
lages of Zahle reportedly
has been urging the
Phalangists to break ties
with Israel from which it re-
ceives military supplies.
On Tuesday, leaders of
the Phalangist Party met

Paper Blames Spaniards
for Rue Copernic Bombing

PARIS (JTA) — The
French daily Le Quotidien
reported that an extreme
rightwing Spanish terrorist
group was responsible for
the Rue Copernic
'synagogue bombing last
Oct. 3 in which four persons
were killed and more than a
dozen injured. The paper
quoted unidentified French
and Spanish police sources
as naming four Spanish ter-
rorists as the perpetrators.
The report said two of the
Spaniards planted the bomb
for which Libyan ruler
Muammar Qaddafi and the
Palestinians were origi-
nally blamed.
The police source said
they had followed the
"Spanish lead" from the
start but that it has led
nowhere as yet. They said
they showed photos of Mila
Rodriguez, a well known
Spanish rightwing activist
and reputedly the gang's
leader, to eye-witnesses of
the Rue Copernic outrage.
