freedom they had is not pro-
ducing the life they wanted
and have returned to what
their parents rejected,” she
says.
The telephone is the
medium of choice for today's
shadchens.
"How do I do what I do?"
asks Mrs. Moseson. "I have
contacts in the various cities
with large Jewish popula-
tions," including New York,
Toronto, Chicago, Los
Angeles and Israel. "I once
had a two-hour conference
call with New York and
came up with eight shid-
duchim we would try." The
problem in, general is, as
Mrs. Kaufman notes, "Most
of them don't work. If they
all worked, it would be
wonderful. There are plenty
of singles out there."
In the meantime, says
Mrs. Polter, "Everyone and
anyone should be a shad-
chen. And not necessarily
everything should be
perfect. It makes people feel
so good you at least tried.
"Parents are dying out
there for their children to
make a shidduch. You don't
know what it does for a
parent to see a child engag-
ed. And you don't need a
course in it to do it." ❑

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1990
L' I Lia ed
San Francisco (JTA) —
Separate incidents of
firebombings and other acts
of anti-Semitic vandalism
aimed at synagogues and
other Bay Area Jewish in-
stitutions over the past two
weeks have triggered a mas-
sive police investigation.
But while police officials
suspect there is a connection
between the incidents, they
lack proof and so far have no
solid clues to the identity of
the perpetrators.
The latest targets were
two East Bay synagogues,
hit by firebombs early on
Nov. 26.
That brought the number
of anti-Semitic incidents in
Northern California to 54
this year, up from 48 in
1989, and almost double the
figure of 1988, according to a
spokesmen for the Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai
B'rith.
The attacks on Temple
Beth Abraham in Oakland
and Temple Beth Sholom in
San Leandro bore a distinct
resemblance to the spate of
firebombings, arson and
vandalism that hit other
Jewish institutions over a
wide area in the five days
between Nov. 15 and 20.
Similar materials were
used and three of the in-
cidents occurred at aboufthe
same time of the day, the
police noted.
"We can assume they're
all connected and there's a
good possibility there are the
same suspects," said San
Francisco Police Inspector
Lou Ligouri, the depart-
ment's liaison with the Jew-
ish community. He stressed,
however, that there is still
no proof of a link.
No one was hurt in any of
the attacks and the
monetary damage was
relatively small. But the
communities have been se-
verely shocked.
City and Jewish agencies
in the Bay Area are offering
rewards totalling $13,000
for information leading to
the arrest and conviction of
the persons responsible.
San Leandro Mayor
Donald Karp said that his
city council will offer a
$5,000 reward for the arrest
and conviction of the
perpetrators of the Oakland
and San Leandro synagogue
bombings.
Mr. Karp also offered a
$500 reward out of his own
pocket and said a San Lean-
dro businessman, not iden-
tified, has put up the same
amount.
On Nov. 27, the Alameda
County Board of Supervisors
offered a $5,000 reward.
These rewards are in addi-
tion to the $2,000 offered by
ADL the previous week.
Meanwhile, community
meetings have been held
with the police to discuss
security measures, and more
are scheduled.
In the most recent attacks,
a Molotov cocktail was
thrown through a window in
a room next to Beth Abra-
ham's sanctuary between 2
and 3 a.m. Nov. 26, accor-
ding to Oakland police.
Another firebomb was
tossed into a rear
auditorium window at Beth
Sholom at approximately 3
a. in.
Sgt. Ron Hanson of the
Oakland arson and bomb
detail estimates damage at
Beth Abraham to be at least
$2,000. But synagogue ad-
ministrator Bob Rothschild
