LICK YOUR WEIGHT PROBLEMS

SPITZER'S MOTHER'S DAY SPECIAL

Just Off The Press!

The Temple Israel students
walked into the cafeteria laugh-
ing and joking. The slide show
they were there to see would pre-
sent Russian Jewish refusenik
families with children the same
age as the students. They were
drab, unsmiling, with somber
eyes that bespoke a sadness of
haunting despair.
They were young Russian
Jews. Young and in bondage.
Three different sessions saw
the slides presented by the
Friends of the Soviet Jewry Edu-
cation and Information Center,
founded in Jerusalem by Yosif
Mendelevich, who was impris-
oned for 11 years for trying to es-
cape Russia.
The joking students became
quiet as they watched the an-
guish and stress under which
Jewish refuseniks try to exist.
They saw a young talented
pianist whose grandmother will
never hear her play because the
girl is in Russia and her
grandmother is in Israel. They
saw the sadness of separated
families, they saw Jews impris-
oned for studying and teaching
Hebrew, they saw the KGB im-
prison Jews on false charges,
they saw Jews lose their jobs at
universities and become street
cleaners, all because they asked
to emigrate to Israel. They saw
Jews in bondage.
After the slide show, they lis-
tened to Dr. Leonid Makar-
__.; Limanov, an ex-refusenik from
Moscow and now a professor of
mathematics at Wayne State
University, describe his experi-
ence as a refusenik and his im-
prisonment. He expressed the
importance of writing to re-
fusenik families. He said, that
even though letters are some-
times not delivered, the KGB
knows families are receiving let-
ters from Americans and it
counts .. .
The students listened atten-
tively and returned to their
classes to complete their letters.
Over 300 were written to the Ari
Volvosky family in Gorky, the
Lev Shapiro family in Leningrad
and to the Lev Elbert family in
Kiev. The students adopted these
three families and will continue
writing to them .. .
Movies, slide programs and
speakers are available from the
local office of the Friends of
Soviet Jewry Education and In-
formation Center (851-8666).
Please help them help the Soviet
Jews. Their bondage is ours.

Joe Weaver
Blaming Jews

This letter is written to protest
Joe Weaver's commentary on the
(Channel 2) 11 p.m. news, April
15th. In my opinion the speech
was anti-Semitic in tone and con-
tent. Also, it seemed to apologize
or provide rationale for the ac-
tions of Qaddafi, an assassin and
premeditated wanton killer of
innocents. Let me now attempt to
justify these conclusions..
The word "Jewish" or "Jews"
can be used as a term of respect or
as a term of contempt. Most of us

THE BOOK OF ABRAHAM

ONCE AND FOR ALL

Students Learn
Of Jewish Bondage

A novel written by
Marc Hertel

Jews have had experiences with
both connotations . . . It is in this
context that I became angry
when I heard Mr. Weaver's sev-
eral comments referring to the
"Jews" who threw the Palesti-
nians out of their homeland, etc.
The words "Jew" and "Jewish"
are trigger words when used in
an inflammatory manner as Mr.
Weaver presented them, and he
is intelligent enough to know
that.
Due to our history of persecu-
tion, and with the advent of Lyn-
don LaRouche, Louis Farrakhan
and other current "Jew Baiters",
it should be no surprise that a
Jewish person would react
harshly and angrily to the man-
ner in which Mr. Weaver referred
to us. Had he referred to the ac-
tion of the state of Israel as action
done by "Israelies," I may have
disagreed with him, but would
not have been personally of-
fended.
As it happens, most Jewish
people I know have sympathy for
the plight of the Palestinians,
and wish that settlement fair to
all sides could be found. Could
any right thinking person, how-
ever, use the Palestinian griev-
ances to justify the terrorism
against innocents as practiced
and financed by Qaddafi? If so,
then maybe the Sioux Nation
should adopt Qaddafi's tactics
againset the U.S.A. with Mr.
Weaver as its spokesman. If you
listen to the tape of Mr. Weaver's
speech, I think -that you will draw
the conclusion that Mr. Weaver
did seem to justify Qaddafi's ac-
tions, and provokingly blame the
"Jews" for those actions .. .

Greek-Jewish
Ties Boosted

Washington — The Govern-
ment of Greece has taken several
positive steps in Greek-Israeli
and Greek-Jewish relations.
Greece and Israel signed an ex-
tensive three-year cultural and
scientific agreement and Greece
has agreed to investigate Greek
archival material on Kurt Wal-
dheim's wartime activities in
Greece.
The Greek government has
also pledged to ask for the extrad-
ition from Syria of Alois Brunner,
a leader of Nazi wartime activity
in Thessaloniki, Greece. The
Greek Jewish community had
asked the Greek Government to
take these actions.
