SF aid for Ethiopians
San Francisco (JTA) — A
$10,000 emergency contribution
to aid famine victims in Ethiopia
has been granted by the Jewish
Community Endowment Fund in
San Francisco with the unanim-
ous approval of the Jewish Com-
--munity Federation of San Fran-
cisco, the Peninsula, Marin and
Sonoma counties.
The funds will be utilized by the
American Jewish Joint Distribu-
tion Committee (JDC) which,
along with Catholic, Protestant
and non-sectarian agencies, has
been providing humanitarian as-
sistance to disaster victims in
Ethiopia and other countries.
To date, the JDC has shipped 70
tons of new clothing, cloth and
medical supplies valued at
$500,000 to Ethiopia. It has re-
ceived more than $300,000 in do-
nations and pledges from con-
cerned Jews and the general pub-
lic for emergency fathine relief in
response to a worldwide appeal by
the Ethiopian government.
Gondar, the Ethiopian province
where the majority of the coun-
try's Jews live, is one of the four

provinces hardest hit by pro-
longed drought.
While the immediate aim is to
alleviate the effects of famine, the
JDC has longer term plans to im-
prove the quality of life in the
area, according to the agency.
The American Jewish Commit-
tee meanwhile, announced last
week that it has contributed
$100,000 to those suffering from
starvation in African countries.
The major portion of AJCommit-
tee funds have been distributed
through the JDC, according to
Howard I. Friedman, the organ-
ization's president.
In St. Paul, Minn. last week, the
Temple of Aaron synagogue de-
cided to sell its Torah to aid
famine-stricken Ethiopians.
The synagogue, following a
unanimous vote by its board of di-
rectors, sold the Torah to a new
synagogue in Freehold, N.J. for
an undisclosed amount, according
to Temple of Aaron Rabbi Ber-
nard Raskas. The St. Paul
synagogue will use another Torah
for its services, the rabbi said.

ADL protests airline act
New York — "Outrageous" was
the response by the Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai
B'rith to British Airways elimina-
tion — by hand, in more than a
quarter of a million copies of the
airline's magazine — of refer-
ences to Israel in a Sheraton Hotel
- ad.
The ad, as originally presented
- by the Sheraton Corp., consisted
of a photograph of Jerusalem with
the words "Come to Israel" be-
neath it and a photograph of the
Sheraton Hotel in Jerusalem with
the following description of its lo-
cation: "The dramatic setting of
the King Solomon Sheraton, a
short stroll from the historic Old
City." The words "Come to Israel"
and the descriptive sentence were
taped over in the magazines by
British Airways because, the air-
Hotel violates
kashruth code
Newark, N.J. (JTA) — State of-
ficials reported Monday that an
Asbury Park commercial facility
is the first kosher hotel in New
Jersey to admit having non-
kosher meat on its premises with
intent to serve it to diners. A fine
and costs were imposed.
James Barry Jr., director of the
-- state Division of Consumer Af-
fairs, said the Asbury Metropoli-
tan Hotel Company, which oper-
ates the hotel, had admitted pos-
session of non-kosher meat, with
intention to serve, after a division
inspection at the hotel last.
August found ten pounds of non-
kosher hamburger patties on the
premises.
Barry signed an administrative
action consent agreement be-
tween the division and the hotel
company under which the com-
pany was penalized with a $2,000
civil penalty and $500 in costs.
line said, there is a view that.
Jerusalem is not in Israel and
BA's politics is to remain neutral.
"The affect of this outrageous
action," said Abraham H. Fox-
man, ADL's associate national di-
rector, "is exactly the opposite —
it places British Airways firmly in
the political arena by taking sides
and possibly bowing to anti-Israel
pressure."
Foxman pointed out that other
business journals publish ads on
Israel and Jerusalem without
being identified with or accused of
taking positions.
Calling the British Airways ac-
tion "reprehensible," Foxman
said, "The decision to alter the ad,
we understand without even con-
sulting Sheraton, comes in an in-
ternational business environ-
ment where efforts on all levels
are made by Arab countries to
pressure businesses to boycott Is-
rael. British Airways, even if un-
intentionally, has given a boost to
Arab boycott efforts and has sent
out exactly the wrong message."
The ADL has sent a letter to
British Airways protesting its act.
YU adds space
New York (JTA) — Yeshiva
University, with the help of a $1
million gift, has purchased a 63-
year-old building in upper Man-
hattan which once housed the
Yeshiva Rabbi Moses Sol-
oveitchik, for renovation into a
multi-faceted university center,
university officials reported.
The building, which houses one
of the oldest synagogues in Upper
Manhattan, will be named the
Schottenstein Center. The com-
plete cost of the building and re-
novation has been estimated at
$2.5 million.
Due to the nature of this process, no two sculptures are exactly alike.
Each piece is hand-painted, signed and dated, which makes them
truly a collectors item. Each sculpture comes with a lucite pedestal.
