NEWS CAJE Conference Focuses On Pluralism New York — The eleventh annual Conference on Alter- natives in Jewish Education held at the University of Maryland last monthbrought together 2,100 teachers, ad- ministrators, parents, authors, scholars and artists from 42 states, six Canadian provinces and seven other countries including Israel, England, Cuba and South Af- rica. In over 600 sessions, con- ferees explored subjects rang- ing from computers in the classroom, teaching Israel and the Holocaust, Torah and Talmud study, to personal spirituality and creating fam- ily folklore. The 400 pre- senters were CAJE members who shared their expertise with their colleagues. Participants were surprised by a greeting from Anatoly Shcharansky who pre- recorded a message to CAJE members to pursue the ideals of Jewish education that had been so important to him throughout his years of im- prisonment in the Soviet Union. The role of Jew in Ameri- can politics was examinied in a panel discussion by Hyman Bookbinder, special consul- tant to the American Jewish Committee, Stuart Eizenstat, former domestic advisor to President Jimmy Carter and Max Green, of the White House public liason office. Over 100 CAJE members met with congressional repre- sentatives in a political ac- tion day in Washington and delivered protests on behalf of Soviet dissidents to Soviet embassy officials. .

Shamir Denies Allegations Jerusalem (JTA) — Deputy Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir has rejected allega- tions by the former head of the Shin Bet that he had authorized the beating deaths of two Palestinian bus hijac- kers and subsequent coverup two years ago. According to local press reporters, Shamir was interrogated on his role in the affair. Shamir was prime minister at the time of the hijacking, which came to an end when the bus was stormed by Israeli soldiers. Two of the four hijackers were killed during the storm- ing of the bus, but two were taken alive and subsequently beaten to death during inter- rogation by Shin Bet agents. According to reports, Shamir told his interrogator, Police Inspector-General David Kraus, that he had learned of the death of the two captured terrorists in the hands of the security forces only after the affair. Israel To Focus On Rights Issues United Nations (JTA) — Israel is planning to focus its efforts in the 41st session of the UN General Assembly, which opens Sept. 17, on human rights issues. "We want to draw the world's attention to the plights of Jews in the Soviet Union, Syria, Iran and elsewhere," . Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel's ambas- sador to the UN, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. "We shall warn the grow- ing threat of anti-Semitism and we shall demand that more be done to expose and prosecute Nazi war criminals. All of Jewish experience tell us that to be silent in the face of repression is to insure its continuity." .
