Hertzberg asserts that in taking no stand, Wiesel is in effect taking a stand — supporting Likud. "As you know better than anyone else," he writes, "silence is a form of interference . . . You have spoken out aginst indif- ference and injustice. Why are you making a special excep- tion of Israel? Do you think that our silence will help Israel?" I NEWS I New York — The Union of American Hebrew Congrega- tions (UAHC) this week for- mally launched a small con- gregations department to pro- vide guidance, instruction and spiritual support to Reform Jews in small and isolated communities throughout North America. Dr. Norman Kahan, rabbi emeritus of Temple Sinai in Roslyn Heights, N.Y., and former president of the New York board of rabbis, has been named national director of the new department. Among the projects of the small congregation depart- ment will be to assist small congregations in obtaining professional support, arrang- ing for cantors to conduct ser- vices, scheduling periodic ad- dresses by national and regional speakers, arranging for two or more congregations to share the service of one rabbi and organizing teacher workshops, youth gatherings, adult weekends and lectures.

Summarizing Wiesel's recent statements and writings, Hertzberg notes that Wiesel has been deplor- ing the present situation in Israel, criticizing extremists on all sides and asserting that Jews outside of Israel should not criticize Jerusalem. "When it comes to policy, you have said little that Yitzhak Shamir could not counter- sign," writes Hertzberg.

The memos call for a Jewish-financed campaign to replace incumbent Mayor Tom Bradley, who is black, with City Councilman Zev Yaroslaysky, who is Jewish. The memos, dated March 29 and May 4, were prepared by an aggressive duo of political campaign profes- sionals, Michael Berman and Carl D'Agostino, who work under the self-chosen acronym "BAD." The memos were anonymously leaked to the Los Angeles Times and have come to be called the "BAD memors." Yaroslaysky immediately distanced himself from BAD, calling the memos "largely unsolicited" and "frankly of- fensive." Following the surfac- ing of the memos, Yaroslaysky called Bradley to emphasize his "high personal regard" for the mayor. Bradley responded in kind, saying, "It is my hope that there will be no return to ethnic and racial campaigns." The memos appear to have been stolen from either the BAD office or from a Yaroslav- sky aide, and then transmit- ted to the Los Angeles Times, which published them. Both sides say they have no idea who is responsible for the deed. JNF Launches 'Tree For 'free' Jerusalem (JTA) — The Jewish National Fund hopes to replace every one of the million trees destroyed this summer by fires. The fires consumed acres and acres throughout Israel. In June and July alone, 1,100 fires were reported — many of them deliberate — a figure four to five times the average number of forest fires for this time of year. Those were terrible months, according to JNF World Chairman Moshe Rivlin. He announced that JNF hopes to replace every tree and to buy new fire prevention equip- ment as part of its campaign, caled "A Tree For A Tree." Some of the fires occurred because of carelessness, and spread quickly through thick undergrowth. ( K
