TM MECHANO I Foreign & Domestic Bush Called a Maccabee Washington (JTA) — At a White House ceremony last week marking the first day of Chanukah, President Bush was compared to the Maccabees for his leadership in acting against Iraq's Saddam Hussein's invasion of Iraq. "Your actions in the Per- sian Gulf, opposing wicked aggression and shameless threats of a modern-day An- tiochus, is in the true Mac- cabean spirit," said Rabbi Chaskel Besser, a member of the presidium of Agudath Israel of America and chairman of the War- saw/Krakow Fund of the Ronald Lauder Foundation. The president's participa- tion in the Dec. 12 ceremony, held in the Old Executive Office Building, came a day after he met with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir. "Your friendly meeting yesterday with Prime Min- ister Shamir gave us a lot of hope," Rabbi Besser said. - Rabbi David Greenzweig, president of the Council of Jewish Organizations in the Boro Park section of Brooklyn, N.Y., presented Bush with a centuries-old menorah rescued from the Warsaw Ghetto. "The ancient story of the first Chanukah is one of vic- tory over persecution, ag- gression and intolerance," Mr. Bush told the audience of some 150 Jewish leaders and school children. He noted that Jews have struggled against persecu- tion over the centuries and that the first Jews "came to this country as early as 1654 to live a life free from in- tolerance and persecution." The president reaffirmed to the audience "the Ameri- can ideal of freedom of wor- ship." The president also pointed to his efforts on behalf of Soviet Jewry. "Last year at this ceremony, we spoke of our efforts to help Vladimir Raiz and other brave refuseniks" leave the Soviet Union, Mr. Bush said. "By Passover, Raiz was a free man." He observed that more than 150,000 Soviet Jews have emigrated so far this year. Mr. Bush had an oppor- tunity to greet one of those emigres, Lidia Shestopalova, a fifth grader at the Gesher Jewish Day School in Alex- andria, Va. Some 80 students from the day school attended the ceremony. • Former Oak Parker, Rick Green, Presi- dent of Mr. Mechanic Auto Service Centers, whose Madison Heights loca- tion is the highest volume, 4-bay auto ser- vice facility in Michigan, has just opened a second new state-of-the-art 8-bay loca- tion in Southfield: on Telegraph Road south of Ten Mile Road to serve you.
