THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Emulation has been termed a spur to virtue, and assumes to be a spur of gold. But it is a spur composed of baser materials, and if tried in the furnace will be found wanting. —Colton DINNER THEATRE AT HYATT REGENCY D DEARBORN JIMMY LAUNCE PROductions presents JIMMY LAUNCE starring in DEATHTRAP 1 A THRILLER BY IRA LEVIN Group Rates and Performances Available Reservations: 593-1234 Fri. & Sat. 8:30 P.M.

At Fri- day evening Sabbath serv- ices, held at the Israelite Congregation of Beth El, several hundred Mexican Jews joined in moving prayers in Spanish and He- brew in memory of the six million Jews who were murdered by the Nazis. After I addressed the con- gregation, I met with the Argentinian-born rabbi and Mexican Jewish community leaders. I had the impres- sion that very few of them Jewish Weddings Outlawed During Days of Omer By RABBI SAMUEL FOX (Copyright 1983, JTA, Inc.) Weddings are not per- formed during the seven- week period between Passover and Shavuot, with the exception of Lag b'Omer, the holiday which occurs on the 33rd day of the count. Some claim that wed- dings are not performed during this period because some tragic events occurred in Jewish history during this period. Foremost among the events was the sad occurrence during which thousands of the stu- dents of Rabbi Akiba were massacred. It was therefore difficult to have a happy oc- casion when remembering such tragedies. It is also claimed that the short period between the two holidays forced the Jews to be caught in the travel and holiday prepara- tions from and to Jerusalem. It was an estab- lished tradition that cele- brations such as weddings be given enough time and concentration to be carried out to the fullest degree of joy instead of being rushed through to save time. Former Rep. Calls for Halt of Aid to Israel Former Congressman Pete McCloskey (R-Calif.) urged the United States to halt all aid to Israel at a banquet sponsored by the Detroit chapter of the American Arab Anti- Discrimination Committee last weekend. Congress is "absolutely terrified of antagonizing the Jewish community . . . the most powerful political lobby in the country," McCloskey told the audi- ence of more than 300 people. In comments before his speech, the former Con- gressman called on Arab Americans to organize the "grassroots, and that in- cludes reaching out and convincing Jewish leaders to cut off aid to Israel." Such an alliance would be possi- ble, he added, only if the Arab American leaders agree to Israel's right „,to exiq were aware of the major ob- servance by Holocaust sur- vivors in Washington, D.C. But on their own, quite spontaneously, as an ex- pression of their moral an- guish over the Nazi Holocaust, the 55,000 Jews of Mexico organized their own programs as acts of sol- idarity with Jewish sur- vivors throughout the world. A substantial number of the small Mexican Jewish community is Ashkenazic. Most of them came to, Mexico as refugees from Europe, both prior to and after the Nazi trauma. While many of them have done well as business people or professionals, they carry gratitude in their bones for the gift of survival. There but for the grace of God could have gone any one of them. Most impressive of all was the participation in THE PERFECT BLEND the Holocaust services of young Mexican Jews, mostly under 25 years of age. Led by vital young Spanish-speaking rab- bis,there is a strong re- turn \to Judaism among many young Mexican Jews. Their identifica- tion with Holocaust Re- membrance Day is rein- forced by their aware- ness of so much destruc- tion of human lives all around them in Central America. 33 In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of ad- versity consider: God made the one as well as the other. —Ecclesiastes, 7.14 Mexican Jewry, as Jews everywhere, has chosen to learn from the tragedy of the Holocaust — to affirm the value of human life and to defend it in the face.of so much dehumanization all around them.
