Generally, Jewish Republi- cans are delighted with the candidate's reappearance after last summer's scandal involving model Donna Rice. "I believe that our issues are best served by a Republican president," said a conser- vative activist. "And I think Gary Hart has helped ensure that result in November?' "He hurts the Democrats a great deal," said Chris Gerston, executive director of the National Jewish Coali- tion, a conservative group. "And the longer he is in, the worse damage he causes. He makes it much more difficult for one candidate to emerge from the pack. This hurts Dukakis and Simon the most, since they were best posi- tioned to come out ahead after New Hampshire and Iowa." Some analysts have sug- gested that Governor Michael Dukakis and Sen. Paul Simon are the Democrats with the strongest pull in the Jewish community. According to this theory, the revival of Hart's campaign gives a boost to some of the second-tier can- didates like Rep. Richard Gephardt and former Gover- nor Bruce Babbitt, who are less highly regarded by pro- Israel activists. Jewish Democrats are am- bivalent about the Hart can- didacy. "His re-emergence will probably confuse Jewish voters the same as it confuses voters in general," said Stuart Eizenstat, former top aide to President Jimmy Carter and a close observer of Jewish politics. "There is a lot of am- bivalence because of Gary's involvement with George McGovern — and because, un- til recently, he had not gone to Israel. I think that this am- bivalence is not well founded; he has a very strong record on Israel, and the fact that he was campaign manager for McGovern 16 years ago shouldn't be a factor." Eizenstat stresses the need for candidates — especially Democrats — to "work the Jewish circuit" for years as a way of developing close ties to the community. "Gary just j RND.TRIP RND. TRIP RND.

Right now, the perception is that he doesn't have a chance." JAMES DAVID BESSER Court Rules On Burial Gary Hart: A puzzle doesn't have those long-term connections," he said. "He hasn't been involved in Jew- ish issues long enough to get Jewish activists excited. Right now, I would expect Jewish activists to take a wait-and-see attitude on Hart?' Many Jewish activists see Hart as un-electable, despite his early status as front- runner in many polls. This, they argue, could throw the party into suicidal disarray before the convention. They also point to growing political activity by Orthodox Jews, many of whom take a dim view of Hart's reported dalliances. Adding to the complexity of the Hart puzzle is the fact that Hart, unlike his op- ponents in either party, has traditionally stayed away from special-interest groups — including pro-Israel PACs and high-visibility donors within the Jewish communi- ty. This means that his posi- tions on "Jewish issues" are less clear than those of the candidates who actively court these important political groups. In his 1984 bid, Hart developed the beginnings of a Jewish fund-raising network outside his political base in Denver. But his Jewish backers were not diehard Hart enthusiasts. "This is what we call 'smart money,' " said one worker with a com- peting campaign. "It's that important group of well-off people who hedge their bets — and the community's bets — by giving to every can- didate who has a reasonable chance of winning. So what- ever Jewish financial backing he got four years ago won't A bizarre story in a Washington suburb has pit- ted a Lubavitcher rabbi against a fundamentalist preacher who has called the Star of David a "satanic" symbol. And the strange case, which erupted last week, may have national implications. Dale Crowley Jr., the Baptist minister, is active in anti- Israel activities on Capitol Hill. The case also involves the Liberty Lobby, which a spokesperson for the Anti- Defamation League of the B'nai B'rith characterized as "the largest and the best- financed anti-Semitic group in the United States." The issue involves the death on New Year's Eve of Haviv Schieber, a Polish Jew who became a fighter for Israeli independence in the '40s. Back in 1959, Schieber came to the United States and became a vocal opponent of Israel — and especially of U.S. aid to the Jewish state. In recent years, he had been associated with Crowley, whose opposition to Israel and to Jewish influence in American politics are main- stays of his radio ministry. According to Crowley, Schieber had become a prac- ticing Christian, and had re- quested a Christian burial. Not so, says Rabbi Shmuel Kaplan, Maryland represen- tative for the Lubavitch movement and host of his own radio program. Kaplan con- tacted Schieber's son in Israel, who requested that his father receive a Jewish burial — despite the fact that he was associated with antiIsrael ministries. Last week, Crowley filed suit in the Circuit Court of Arlington, Va., requesting that Schieber be buried as a Christian. On Monday, a cir- cuit court judge ruled that Schieber was, in fact, a Christian. The primary beneficiary of this battle appears to be Crowley, whose weekly radio program, Focus on Israel, con- tains harsh criticism of Israel and Israeli influence in the United States.
