maximum with the U.S.
against Soviet expan-
sionism in the Middle East.
According to Begin, there
are at present insufficient
forces in the region to hallt a
Soviet incursion into Iran.
Begin said the U.S. had in-
itiated the strategic cooper-
ation agreement but that he
had a similar suggestion in
mind before he went to
Washington.
Begin said he was con-
vinced that the peace
process with Egypt
would continue after Is-
rael's final withdrawal
from Sinai in April 1982.
He said Israel had made
its commitment to the
peace treaty and would
carry out its - part to the
letter even though it was
painful to abandon the
settlements in Sinai.
He observed that Israel
viewed President Anwar,
Sadat's political opponents
as enemies of peace and
wanted to see the Egyptian
leader overcome them.
Begin said he does not
ter Ariel Sharon's conten-
tion that Jordan is the
homeland of the Palesti-
nians. He said he hoped a
"free confederation" could
be created between Israel
and Jordan with free trade
between the two countries.
Finally, Begin observed.
that the continued presence
of Syrian SAM-6 anti-
aircraft missiles in Lebanon
would not be tolerated by Is-_
rael but he would neverthe-
less give the U.S. time to
gain their removal through
diplomatic means.
On domestic matters,
Begin took a middle course
in the current controversy
over the Chief Rabbinate's
claim that Halakha took
precedence over the secular
laws of the state. He said
that while nothing should
be done to impair the laws of
the land, "I have never said
we are only a country of law.
We are both a country of law
and also (,f Halakha," he
claimed.
Tzitzit Role
in Prayer
By RABB: SAMUEL FOX
(Copyright 1981, JTA, Inc.)
It is customary to hold the
tzitzit of the talit and to kiss
them during the recital of
the "Shema."
The "Shema" is, of course,
the basic declaration of the
faith of a Jew and his charge
to observe the command-
ments of the Almighty.
Holding the tzitzit during
the Shema accomplishes
two ends. First, it
exemplifies how sacred and
dear the commandments
are to the worshipper. Since
the tzitzit represent all the
commandments and obliga-
tions of the faith, holding
them and kissing them
indicates his love and re-
spect for them.
Seocnd, it is claimed that
holding the fringes, putting
them near the eyes and kis-
sing them during the
Shema indicates the wor-
shipper's total absorption
with the faith.
Even from the body's pur-
ity the mind receives a
secret sympathetic aid.

President Jack Spitzer and

nice Tannenbaum.
