POLITICS B.H. ENCOUNTER THE JEW IN YOU One of the ironies of modern culture is that with all the stress on self, self-improvement and self-knowledge, so few seem to successfully navigate this voyage of self-discovery. For contemporary Jews, especially those with very limited backgrounds in Judaism, this problem can be particularly acute. Any endeavor for self-discovery which ignores a crucial element of self is naturally doomed. The Jew's Jewishness is a vital part of his experience, even if dormant and suppressed. But it is there, and like Everest, it must be "climbed," because it is there. How do we define "Jewishness"? How can a Jew relate to it? Can a Jew deny it? Duo non Jews have something similar to it? Does a secular Jew fit in the picture? The Chabad-Lubavitch Organization invites you to spend a Winter Wonderland - Shabbaton weekend with Lubavitcher Chassidim. This weekend will explore these questions and your questions through seminars, infQrmal discussion and study groups, tempered with Chassidic music and dance. A program of winter sports — tobogganing, ice skating, cross-country skiing, etc. — will be available on Sunday.

A number of issues of Jewish concern, which affect Canadians in general, also are on the ballot. These in- clude hate literature, the ar- rest and trial of war criminals and multiculturalism. Jews are represented in all national parties, including Prime Minister Brian Mulro- ney's Progressive Conser- vative Party; the Liberal Par- ty led by John Turner; and the New Democratic Party headed by Ed Broadbent. While Mulroney won by a landslide in the 1984 elec- tions, the latest polls indicate that Turner will be the next prime minister. The Jewish hopefuls among the 1,500 candidates for a seat in Ottawa include former British Columbia Premier Dave Barrett, who is making a political comeback via the NDP in British Columbia; NDP veteran David Olikow, who is running in Winnipeg, Manitoba; Robert Kaplan of Toronto, a former solicitor general of Canada; and Liberal veteran Herb Gray, of Windsor, Ontario. Although the major issue is the U.S.-Canadian trade agreement, which has turned many voters against the Mulroney government, social- policy matters have not been ignored. In a pre-election address, Broadbent outlined his par- ty's multicultural program, which would include strengthening the criminal code and human rights code to deal with hate propaganda. Turner also promises to amend the criminal code to ensure stronger provisions against hate propaganda. Since January 1988, the Mayor's Community and Race Relations Committee in Tbronto has been trying to prohibit importation of the book Why Is One Holocaust Worth More Than Others?, which allegedly contains anti-Semitic passages. The federal government has refused to ban the book. Minister of National Revenue Elmer MacKay said it does not fall under customs guidelines that define hate propaganda. The minister's position, made clear in a letter last February, is that "although the book may contain some passages that could be con- sidered anti-Semitic, taken as a whole, it does not constitute hate propaganda." The Liberal program would delete the legal requirement to show intent to promote hatred. During the Conservative administration, the criminal code was amended to allow Canadian courts to prosecute war criminals for crimes com- mitted on foreign soil. At least 20 Canadian residents have been identified as Nazi war criminals and 200 more are under investigation. Jewish Telegraphic Agency I NEWS I 3 Terrorists Are Caught Tel Aviv (JTA) — Israeli troops wounded and captured three heavily armed Palesti- nian terrorists Sunday night, as they were attempting to in- filtrate Israel through the southern Lebanese security zone. The three were identified as members of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a Marxist, pro- Syrian group headed by Nayef Hawatme. The infiltrators were equip- ped with LAW shoulder-fired missile launchers, Kalachni- kov assault rifles, grenades, ammunition and wire cutters. According to the Israel Defense Force, documents were found on the terrorists identifying them as "freedom fighters" on their way to sup- port the Palestinian uprising in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and to free comrades held in Israeli prisons. Soviet TV Crew In Israel Tel Aviv (JTA) — A televi- sion crew from Soviet Georgia has arrived in Israel to film a documentary on the absorp- tion of Georgian Jews who im- migrate to Israel, Haaretz reported Tuesday. The Soviet filmmakers met with Rafi Bar-Lavi, secretary general of the Association of Immigrants from Soviet Georgia. They also reported the elec- tion of Ephraim Gur, an im- migrant from Georgia, to the Knesset on Nov. 1. Gur was elected on the Labor Party ticket.
