FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1990
Washington (JTA) —
Supreme Court Justice An-
tonin Scalia found his first
trip to Israel last month a bit
disappointing from a re-
ligious and archaeological
standpoint, though he was
moved by visits to
Jerusalem, Masada and
Galilee.
The justice said he had
particularly looked forward
to seeing sites showing the
origins of Christianity. But
they were buried
underneath newer struc-
tures, which, he said,
detracted from the
"spirituality" of those sites.
The justice went to Israel
to address the fifth annual
conference of the Israel
Center for Economic and So-
cial Progress, a conservative
think-tank. He also met with
the Israeli Bar Association,
toured Israel's High Court of
Justice and met with various
judges.
He arrived five days early
to tour the country, accom-
panied by Marshall Breger,
a prominent Jewish Repub-
lican who chairs the Ad-
ministrative Conference of
the United States.
Scalia, whose interest in
ancient civilizations stems
from minoring in classics at
Georgetown University, said
he found very little of Israel
as it once was.
"So many centuries had
gone by," he said. "There's
so many civilizations that
are built over it."
"We have to go down eight
levels to see this little chunk
of rock, and somebody says,
`That's Calvary, we think.' "
Calvary is the place where
Jesus was crucified.
Scalia also had hoped to
see the grotto stable in
Bethlehem where Jesus was
born. What was there "was
recognizable as holy," he
said, but the manger should
have been preserved "rather
than build some huge
cathedral over it so that's no
longer recognizable."
In Capernaum, now Kfar
Nahum, the justice was im-
pressed with an ornate syn-
agogue where Jesus is said
to have prayed. But Scalia
complained that distracting
from the site was a modern
structure that looked like a
"flying saucer, which did not
enhance the antiquity of the
place in my mind."
"Actually feeling yourself
back in scriptural times, the
Galilee was the only place
where I felt close to the
events," he said. "I could
picture Christ walking along
those shores and preaching
to the multitudes there."
He contrasted Rome to
Israel, saying that Rome
"has been conquered, but
not conquered back and for-
th and back and forth bet-
ween quite different and an-
tagonistic cultures - highly
developed cultures in whose
interest it was to destroy
what went before. That's
evident in Israel."

Washington (JTA) - The
U.S. Commission for the
Preservation of America's
Heritage Abroad is negotia-
ting with Eastern European
countries in order to reach
an agreement to preserve
and protect sites of cultural
significance. The sites in-
clude cemeteries,
monuments and buildings.
A bilateral accord propos-
ed by the commission would
establish a Joint Cultural
Heritage Commission to
oversee the preservation
effort.
Commissioners Israel
Rubin and Tzvi Kesten-
baum, who recently return-
ed from Poland and
Hungary, say the response
to a bilateral agreement was
very positive, both from the
governments and the rem-
nant Jewish communities.
The organization is seek-
ing information regarding
the location of cemeteries,
religious and historical sites
throughout Eastern Euro-
pean countries, particularly
those associated with the
heritage of U.S. citizens,
which are in danger of dete-
rioration or destruction.
The commission was estab-
lished by the U.S. Congress
in 1985 to preserve the
cultural heritage of all na-
tional, religious or ethnic
groups that were victims of
crimes against humanity.
If you have any informa-
tion regarding the location
of cemeteries or historical
buildings in Eastern Europe,
contact the Commission for
the Preservation of
America's Heritage Abroad,
