But, he added, tensions could arise in the Jewish community if the elections ulti- mately led to an increase in power for either "anti-Semitic forces on the left or Christian fundamen- talism on the right." For Jewish voters, said Alfred Moses, chairman of the AJC's na- tional executive council, "what distinguishes the 1984 President- ial campaign from the campaign four years ago has been the shift in focus for Jews from Israel and Israel-related issues to domestic concerns. "Outcroppings of anti- Semitism on the Democratic left and Christian fundamentalism on the Republican right have engaged to attention of Jews this fall far more than the familiar rhetorical question as to which candidate would be a better friend of Israel." The new executive head of the American Jewish Committee called for "an equal partnership", between Israel and the American Jewish community, which he said looks upon America as its home. "The time has come," Dr. David M. Gordis told the agency's execu- tive council, "for the American Jewish Committee to assert, without guilt, that we are part of a proud and self-confident Jewish community that can and will sur- vive creatively in this country, in a constructive and mutually- enhancing partnership with Is- rael." Dr. Gordis, who became execu- tive vicepresident in July, spoke at the annual meeting of the top policy=making body. Dr. Gordis urged the Jewish people, in all countries, to re- evaluate the role of Israel and of Jewish nationalism "in the pre- sent reality of Jewish life" so that the Zionist fold would continue to include "all those ardent suppor- ters of Israel who assert its cen- trality in Jewish life but do not plan to settle in Israel." During the meetings in Chicago, Sen. Lowell Weicker (R-Conn.) criticzed fundamen- talists who seek to establish prayer in the public schools. "I say to them that in the United States there is no more traditional value than separation of church and state," Weicker said. Helen Suzman, a member of South Africa's Parliament and a long-term opponent of apartheid, stated that the key to peaceful change in South Africa rested in the expansion of its economy for the benefit of 22 million blacks. Accepting the AJC's American Liberties Medallion, Suzman argued that "those who believe that total economic collapse would facilitate a black revolu- tion and black majority rule." Such a course, she said, could only be advocated by people sit- ting safely thousands of miles away, for "a black revolution would have no chance of success, as anyone who knows anything about the strength, ferocity and competence of the South Africa police will agree."

ALLAN PRESIDENT NORMAN ALLAN Founder/Consultant EStabltshed 1919 AWARDED CERT1F 'CATE BY GIA IN GRADING & EVALUATION GEMOLOGIST/DIAMONTOLOGIST "Retail courtesies at Wholesale Prices" New York (JTA) — A second fire in a 48-hour period against a synagogue in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn left the door to Talmud Torah Congregation slightly scorched before it was ex- tinguished. The second blaze came after an explosion and fire early Oct. 31 that gutted the four-story Maple- ton Park Jewish Center, two blocks from the Talmud Torah synagogue. That explosion and fire were termed arson by the fire department and led New York City Police t'Commissioner Ben- jamin Ward to form a 20-man task force to investigate the incidents.

On Sunday, some 1,000 people including New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean participated in an interfaith rally and demonstra- tion of solidarity that concluded with clean-up operations at a synagogue defaced last month with anti-Semitic slogans and damaged when a tractor was dri- ven through the building's side. Three youths have been ar- rested for the anti-Semitic attack on Beth Shalom Synagogue in Manalapan Township. Six youths arrested in cemetery ruin Bonn (JTA) — Police in the town of Fulda in the federal state of Hesse have arrested six youths who they say desecrated the Jewish cemetery in the nearby town of Weyhers late last month. The youths, aged eight-13, were questioned by the police and re- turned to their homes. Some 90 of the 200 tombstones in the cemetery were uprooted and at least 20 of the tombstones were severely damaged. The six youths admitted responsibility for the incident, police said. At least two of the six had participated in previous desecrations of the cemetery last year and again last summer.
