Lantos pushes
embassy move

BY HEIDI PRESS
Local News Editor

Congressman Tom Lantos (D-
Calif.) said he "shall not rest until
an American flag is flying over
the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem."
Speaking to more than 1,500
guests at the 70th annual dinner
on behalf of the Beth Yehudah
Schools Sunday at the Fairlane
Manor, Lantos covered -a variety
of topics in his brief remarks.
He spoke of his forthcoming trip
to Russia on Jan. 17, which he
said marked the 40th anniversary
of Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish
diplomat credited with saving
tens of thousands of Hungarian
Jews during the Holocaust and
who is believed langushing in a
Soviet prison. The Soviets claim
Wallenberg died in prison in
1947.
Lantos said that while he is in
the Soviet Union he will ask his
"Soviet hosts" for the truth on
Wallenberg's status.
On the plight of Soviet Jews,
Lantos said only 29 Jews left the
Soviet Union in October and ex-
pected that next year less than
400 will be permitted to emigrate.
The USSR is a country of pe-
rennial persecution," he said.
He talked about a variety of
pressures world Jewry faces to-
day: Israel's survival in the im-
mediate future, threats by Libyan
leader Muammar Qaddafi, sales
of sophisticated weaponry to
Syria and Iraq, the renewal of the
demand to expel Israel from the
United Nations and last week's
vandalism of the San Francisco
Holocaust memorial.
Lantos said that despite the
Qaddafis and the Assads, "the re-
silience of the Jewish people" will
survive long after they are gone.
The evening was the occasion to
honor Sol- Lessman with the Beth
Yehudah Schools' Golden Torah
Award. Upon accepting the
award, Lessman gave an im-
passioned and eloquent talk about
his past surviving the de-
gradations and persecutions of
the Holocaust, adding that he
never lost his dream for a better
day.
Lessman praised his wife, Nora,
who takes an active role in Jewish
communal causes and especially
on behalf of the Beth Yehudah
Schools, and paid tribute to the
yeshivah.

Rabbi Dov Loketch, president of
the Beth Yehudah Schools, gave
an emotional appeal on behalf of
the Torah institutions. Speaking
on behalf of the Torah institu-
tions. Speaking on Jewish educa-
tion, Loketch said the schools
should not only be concerned with
what is in the child's head but
with his heart too. He gave an
allegory to a Talmudic teaching
saying that "a teacher is also a
parent, a classroom a family
room. The school must also be a
home."
Rabbi Norman Kahn, executive
vice president of the schools,
talked about the origins of the
yeshivah movement and paid
tribute to the honorees, the dinner
chairmen and the schools' suppor-
ters.
Dinner co-chairman David
Holtzman brought greetings and
