govern remarriage for
widows.
According to studies by
Shamgar-Handelman, war
widows enter into three types
of remarriages. One type is
the "Second 'First' Mar-
riage," in which women look
for the same emotional at-
tachment and love they
shared with their first hus-
band. The second type of
remarriage is the "Remedial
Marriage," in which the
widow regards marrying
again as a way of repairing
damage that has been done to
the family unit. The third
type is the "Postponed Mar-
riage," in which a widow only
sees remarriage as a possibili-
ty after the children are
grown and out of the house.
"Not wanting to remarry is
a sign of unresolved grief,"
Malkinson says. In the
therapy group she led, several
of the women had not even
been able to begin therapy
until they were confronted
with "an empty nest." In the
therapy sessions, the woman
were discouraged from talk-
ing only about their children
since this, too, is a sign of
unresolved grief.

So far, no one from Malkin-
son's therapy group has
remarried but she expects
some will. Before the therapy,
she explains, "they just
couldn't get a solid con-
tinuous relationship with
another man." Taday, these
women can express an in-
terest in remarrying, talk
about the possibility, even
date seriously.
There has been one follow-
up session since the group
sessions ended, and others are
planned. The message Mal-
kinson wants to instill in
these women is that they can
choose what they want to be.
She tells them, "Society has
maintained the widow part;
you can choose to be a widow
or a woman who lost her hus-
band, no matter what others
expect from you."
For the future, Malkinson
would like to see an associa-
tion formed that would work
to change the laws and at-
titudes concerning widows in
Israel. "There's still a lot of
work to be done," she says,
"but we're on the right track."

FRIDAY, OCT. 23, 1987

United Nations (JTA) —
The General Assembly voted
88-39 Oct. 13 to reject an
Arab-sponsored move to deny
Israel its credentials. There
were ten abstentions and 21
countries were absent. The
margin of defeat was the
largest ever for the Arabs in
their yearly attempt to expel
Israel from the world
organization.
This year it took the form of
an eight-word amendment to
a resolution before the
General Assembly to accept
collectively the credentials of
115 UN member states. The
Arabs proposed the phrase,
"except with regard to the
credentials of Israel," but the
move was overwhelmingly
rejected.

Israeli diplomats, while
very much satisfied with the
outcome, expressed disap-
pointment that the Soviet
Union continued to support
the Arab attempt to oust
Israel. Israel had specifically
requested the USSR to
change its position at a
meeting between the Israeli
Ambassador to the UN,
Binyamin Netanyahu, and
the Soviet UN envoy, Alex-
ander Belongov.
Two Communist bloc coun-
tries, Poland and Hungary,
which recently established
low-level diplomatic relations

with Israel, were among the
absentees. The People's
Republic of China abstained,
as it has in past years.
The behavior of Jordan was
somewhat of a mystery. On
Oct. 12, Jordan and Egypt
were the only Arab League
members that did not add
their signatures to those of 19
Arab countries and the
Palestine Liberation
Organization on a letter to
UN Secretary General Javier
Perez de Cuellar protesting
Israel's membership in the
UN. Nevertheless, Jordan ap-
peared on the list of sponsors
of the expulsion amendment,
apparently having come
under severe pressure from
the Arab League.
On Oct. 13, however, the
Jordanian delegation was ab-
sent from the roll call, leading
Israeli diplomats to express
cautious hope that Jordan
may yet cast a vote against
Israel's ouster from the UN.
