Legal Journal
Washington — The first issue
of a journal, dealing with the
commonalities between the
Jewish and Anglo-American
legal systems, has been pub-
lished.
The National Jewish Law Re-
view, edited by law students,
seeks to bring the richness and
viability of Jewish law and its
traditions to the attention of the
Anglo-American legal commu-
nity.
The first issue includes an in-
troduction written by Israeli
Supreme Court Justice
Menachem Elon that demon-
strates the contemporary vital-
ity and use of Mishpat Ivri, the
part of Jewish law that deals
with non-ritual concerns such as
torts, contracts and family law.
Other articles deal with such
subjects as a United States Air
Force decision, upheld by the
courts, forbidding a Jewish serv-
iceman from wearing his yar-
mulke while on duty. Each arti-
cle includes citations to tradi-
tional Jewish sources, such as
the Torah, Talmud and re-
sponsa.
Copies of the Review are
available at $15 for non-
students and $8 for students.

San Francisco (JTA) — A
California Presbyterian minister
is using the pulpit to teach his
congregants about the
Holocaust. Rev. Doug Huneke
has held Yom Hashoah services
in his Westminster Presbyterian
Church in Tiburon for the past
five years, and led such services
for nine years while a chaplain
at the University of Toronto.
At each of these services the
song by the choir is in Hebrew,
the scripture reading for the day
is the Shema and the sermon
often deals with Hitler's "Final
Solution" for the "Jewish prob-
lem."
Huneke told his congregants
that the Holocaust was not an
isolated event in European his-
tory and that its antecedents
"began after the death of Jesus
and continued with the
centuries-long expansion of the
church. Those periods were a
horror story for Jews, who suf-
fered at the hands of misguided
Christians."
He praised the nearly 5,000
Christians who risked their
lives to save Jews from Hitler's
murder machine but noted that
5,000 was a very tiny part of the
Christian population of Nazi-
occupied Europe.
