dred people were killed this
week in clashes between
security forces and demon-
strating civilians in Algeria,
Wiesel said that Israel comes
out rather well when com-
pared to the measures used by
other countries to quell riots
and demonstrations.

Wiesel also expressed
dismay over the poor image of
Israel as a result of media
reports and attacks against
the Jewish state's handling of
the Palestinian uprising.
He charged that in the past
when anti-Semites planned to
attack the Jews, they first
tried "to kill their image.
Now they are trying to kill
the image of Israel."

"No, Israel is not guilty,"
Wiesel declared, pointing out
that Israel is the only country
in the world whose existence
is threatened and questioned.

New York (JTA) — Author
Elie Wiesel said recently that
he is not going to judge Israel,
nor join those who attack and
criticize the Jewish state over
measures being taken to
quell the riots in the West
Bank and Gaza Strip.
'When Israel is agonizing,
I am on Israel's side, and I
shall never judge Israel," said
the Nobel laureate, at the an-
nual dinner of the American
Associates of Ben Gurion
University of the Negev at a
midtown hotel.
Wiesel, who won the Nobel
Peace Prize in 1986, received
a honorary Ph.D. from the
university's president, Chaim
Elata, before 600 people.
"Israel is hurting. Israel is
alone. And I stand by her," the
renowned Holocaust writer
said to the applause of the
audience.

New York (JTA) — Rabbi
Adin Steinsaltz, a renowned
Talmudic scholar from
Jerusalem, arrived in Moscow
last week to negotiate the
final details of an agreement
to open a Judaic Studies
Center in the Soviet capital.
The announcement was
made by the Aleph Society,
Inc., which was founded by
Rabbi Steinsaltz here last
spring to coordinate financial
and other assistance for his
activities around the world.
The Judaic Studies Center,
which will also serve as the
first rabbinical seminary in
the USSR. The center is ex-
pected to be inaugurated in
1989 and will be staffed in-
itially by Western scholars, to
train a new generation of
Soviet Jewish scholars and
rabbis.
It will also contain a collec-
tion of Judaica and other
cultural artifacts, documents
and materials from Soviet ar-
chives, much of which has
been inaccessible for 70 years.
The agreement reached also
provides for the rabbi to
establish an organization to
work in partnership with
Soviet institutions to cata-
logue, research and elec-
tronically record collections of
ancient manuscripts, rare
books and other materials.
Libraries cooperating in the
project include the U.S.
Library of Congress, the New
York Public Library, YIVO,

Cambridge, Boedlein, the Sor-
bonne, the Royal Danish, and
Geneva libraries, the Aleph
SOciety said.
The society is a private,
non-profit organization. Jack
Nash and Ludwig Bravman,
both New York businessmen,
are chairman and president,
respectively.

Jewish Author
Defends USSR

Amsterdam (JTA) — A
Soviet Jewish author strong-
ly defended the Soviet Union
in a Dutch television inter-
view, and said he would never
emigrate, though he recogniz-
ed the right of others to leave.
Anatoli Rybakov, whose
book. The Children of Arbat
became an international best-
seller, acknowledged there
was anti-Semitism under
Stalin.
But he attributed it partly
to the fact that many of
Stalin's political enemies
were Jews.
Rybakov was interviewed
for 30 minutes on AVRO-TV
by Pieter Varekampo, host of
the program "Actualities?'
He explained Soviet hostili-
ty toward Israel with the
observation that Israel is sup-
ported by the United States,
which is considered an enemy
of the Soviet Union.
