Nathan Perlmutter,
ADL Executive
Nathan Perlmutter
New York (JTA) — Nathan
Perlmutter, national director
of the Anti-Defamation
League of B'nai B'rith who
was widely cited for his fight
against bigotry and discrimi-
nation and dedication in to
humanitarian causes, died
last Sunday of cancer at
Memorial Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center here at age 64.
Perlmutter was a recipient
last month of the 1987 Presi-
dential Medal of Freedom,
America's highest civilian
award, for his public service.
In March he was awarded an
honorary degree of Doctor of
Humane Letters by Hebrew
Union College-Jewish In-
stitute of Religion.
Perlmutter was an author,
lecturer, lawyer and former
Marine infantry officer. His
38-year career in the human
relations field began when he
joined the ADL in 1949. He
served through 1964 as direc-
tor of the three of the human
rights agency's regional of-
fices — in Detroit, Miami and
New York. From 1965-69 he
was associate national direc-
tor of the American Jewish
Committee.
He returned to the ADL in
1973 as assistant national
director and became its
national director in 1979. He
was a vice president of
Brandeis University, Walt-
ham, Mass., from 1969 to
1973.
The son of immigrant par-
ents from Poland, Perlmutter
grew up in the Williamsburg
section of Brooklyn, N.Y. He
obtained his law degree from
New York University Law
School. Perlmutter is sur-
vived by wife, Ruthann.
Rabbi Ruderman,
Aguda Sage
Baltimore (JTA) — Rabbi
Yaakov Yitzchok HaLevi
Ruderman, head of the New
Israel Yeshivah in Baltimore,
Md. and a senior member of
the Council of Torah Sages of
Agudat Israel, died June 11
at the age of 87. He was
buried Sunday. More than
6,000 mourners attended the
funeral.
Ruderman's death was
widely seen as the end of an
era. He was the last survivor
of the venerated Roshei
Yeshivah who came to the
U.S. from Lithuania early in
the century.
Born in Dohlinov, near
Vilna, Ruderman studied at
the Slabodka Yeshivah and at
the age of 19 authorized the
"Avodas Levi," an in-depth
analysis of some of the most
complex issues of the Talmud.
He settled in Baltimore in
1933 and founded the Ner
Israel Rabbinical College that
year to train a new genera-
tion of Jewish religious
leaders and educators.

Jerusalem (JTA) — The
municipality took legal ac-
tion in early July to remove
a controversial Holocaust
memorial sculpture from its
location at the Western Wall,
triggering a personal attack
on Mayor Teddy Kollek by
former Ashkenazic Chief Rab-
bi Shlomo Goren, who placed
the work on top of his Adra
Yeshivah.
Goren charged that the
mayor's hatred of Orthodoxy
was behind the legal action.
Kollek rejected Goren's
charge as spurious insulting.
He said his record proved his
sensitivity to the needs of the
city's Orthodox population.
But the sculpture was
erected without the requisite
municipal licenses. It has
been criticized for aesthetic
reasons. Artist Yaakov Agam
defended his work. It may be
an "illegitimate child" but
"even when a bastard is born,
you don't kill him," Agam
said.
Libyan Jews
New York (JTA) — The
American Jewish Committee
has offered to serve as a
center for the processing of
claims by Libyan Jews whose
property was seized by
governmental decree or
destroyed by Libyan mobs
during and following the
Arab-Israeli war of June
