EVERYTHING PUT IN

You should avoid foods high in
cholesterol. It's a fact, a high
blood cholesterol level sub-
stantially increases your
chances of developing heart
disease. By cutting down on
fatty, rich foods, you can do
yourself a big favor. You could
lower your blood cholesterol
level and reduce your risk of
heart disease.

some free advice on how to
plan a diet good for life.

on Israel's abuse of Palestin-
ian rights and its barbarity in
attempting to suppress the
. [Palestinian] uprising?'
In another issue of the Na-
tion, author Edward Tivnan
asserts that the American
"Jewish establishment has
supported the Likud hard-
liners; most Jews have sup-
ported the moderates. Jewish
leaders still prefer keeping
their criticisms 'in-house;'
most American Jews are
ready to go public."
Tivnan, author of The Lob-
by, a critical study of the
American Israel Public Af-
fairs Committee (AIPAC),
cited an American Jewish
Committee poll indicating
that 56 percent of U.S. Jews
believe it is proper to public-
ly criticize Israel. He also
noted a Los Angeles Times
poll that found that two-
thirds of American Jews pre-
ferred some form of political
accommodation with Pales-
tinians.
Tivnan is convinced that
American Jews are now be-
coming "more vocal" in their
criticism of Israel. Of this new
candor, Tivnan quotes Arthur
Hertzberg, an ex-president of
the American Jewish Con-
gress: "The spell has been
broken."
But even the outspoken
Hertzberg rejected the United
States forcing Likud to the
negotiating table with Arabs
by threatening to cut aid to
Israel. "It's treason?' he said.
"The moment you say cut aid,
you're delivering the good

Ariel Sharon: Interferring.

guys in Israel as well as the
bad guys to their enemies."
Tivnan is convinced that "a
place in history is assured
anyone able to galvanize the
questioning majority of
American Jews into a ge-
nuine peace movement?'
If an Israeli prime minister
should attack these Ameri-
cans for meddling in Israel's
internal affairs, Tivnan
recommended they answer
with Ariel Sharon's 1980
blast at the Carter ad-
ministration when the
United States voted in the
United Nations to condemn
the Begin government's
policy of settling Jews on the
West Bank.
"I don't like to interfere
with internal United States
affairs?" said Sharon, "But
the question of Israel securi-
ty is a question for Jews
everywhere in the world!'

Ultra-Orthodox Harass
Women At Western Wall

Jerusalem (JTA) — About
100 Diaspora Jewish women,
many of them Americans,
were called "pigs" and
harassed by religious ex-
tremists when they held a
prayer service last week at
the Western Wall in Jeru-
salem's Old City.
The worshipers, who were
among 500 women from 25
countries attending the first
International Conference on
the Empowerment of Jewish
Women, were the targets of
insults and curses by ultra-
Orthodox men and women
who pray regularly at the
holy site.
Debra Brin, a Reform rabbi
from Toronto, conducted the
service, which marked the
final day of the conference.
As the feminists, many
wearing kippot and tallit,
prayed and read from the
Torah, black-garbed men

shouted and pounded on the
wooden barricades that sepa-
rate male and female wor-
shipers at the Wall.
"In the name of God I pro-
test?" one said. "This is a ho-
ly place for all of Israel and
they are defiling it."
"Disgraceful," called Rabbi
Yehuda Getz, the functionary
in charge of the Western Wall,
referring to the foreign
women.
Getz promised to report the
"outrage" of women carrying
the Torah to Religious Affairs
Minister Zevulun Hammer.
He conceded to reporters
that the prayer session did
not itself violate Halachah
(religious law). But the Wall
"is a holy place, not a place
for demonstrations?" he said.
Naomi Lazarus of New York
said, "We showed that we
have a right place to pray like
anyone esle."
