Jewish community, rabbis

at such marriages "should

goals they articulate."
Similarly, he said, rabbis
who refuse to officiate
"should ask whether they
have explained their posi-

couple in a sensitive and
understanding manner, and
left open the window of op-
portunity for subsequent

Israel High Court Denies
Convicted Spy's Appeal
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Israel's
High Court of Justice on
Sunday rejected an appeal
by convicted spy Mordechai
Vanunu against his 1988
conviction and sentence to
18 years in prison for spying
and treason.
The appeal was held
behind closed doors, and the
three- judge panel allowed
publication of only the final
paragraph of its 89-page
decision, which read: "The
court has decided in a detail-
ed opinion to reject the ap-
peal made in this case,
regarding both the convic-
tion and punishment."
The court is to meet again
within 30 days to decide
whether to allow publication
of the entire appeal rejection
or even parts of it, or
whether overriding security
considerations should con-
tinue to prevail and thus dic-
tate censorship.
Vanunu's attorney,
Avigdor Feldman, said his
client was "bitterly disap-
pointed" by the court's deci-
sion, and he was considering
making another appeal
before a seven-judge panel.
Feldman reportedly told
the court that his client's
furnishing details of Israel's
top-secret nuclear facility in
Dimona to a foreign news-
paper — the London Sunday
Times — could not be
regarded as "espionage" and
"treason," as he had not
passed the information to
the enemy.
Feldman told journalists
that Vanunu, a former
employee of the Dimona
plant, has been held since
his original arrest in solitary
confinement, without any
contacts, apart from some
with a few prison warders
and officials.
Vanunu has refused to ac-
cept visits from family
members if terms of his in-
carceration dictate that such
visits be held under condi-
tions of physical separation,
by bars or glass partition.

Oldest Polish Jewish
Cemetery Is Desecrated
.
London (JTA) — The
desecration of one of the
oldest Jewish cemeteries in
Poland has been confirmed
by the Institute of Jewish
Affairs here.
The vandalization of
gravestones at the cemetery
in Lublin occurred in the
context of an intensified an-
ti-Semitic expression at-
tributed to the growth of
democracy and the removal
of constraints on free speech
in the formerly au-
thoritarian Polish Commu-
nist society.
The desecration was re-
ported in a letter published
May 15 in the liberal Polish
newspaper Azeta Wyborcza.
The writer, Dr. Simha
Wajs, chairman of the Socie-
ty for the Protection of Relics
of Jewish Culture in Lublin,
reported that 11 of 54
headstones in the 16th-
century Jewish cemetery
there were either smashed
or upended.
Anti-Semitic upsurges
have been noted in the re-
cent campaign for local elec-
tions, which were held Sun-
day. Jewish candidates
fielded by the ruling Soli-
darity movement have
aroused anti- Semitic out-
bursts, according to a report
in the Financial Times of
London.
