NEWS Jews Mark Rashi's Birth Paris (JTA) — Distinguished Jews gathered recently in Troyes, in the Champagne region of eastern France, to dedicate a memorial to one of its most famous sons, Rabbi Solomon ben Isaac, known to history as Rashi. Rashi's prodigious com- mentaries on the Bible and the Talmud are at the core of Jewish scholarship. The 950th anniversary of his bir- th was celebrated Dec. 16 by the unveiling of a memorial sculpted by Raymond Moretti. Dignitaries attending in- cluded the former French Chief Rabbi Rene Sirat, Nobel laureate Eli Wiesel and Robert Galley, mayor of Troyes. Sirat established the Rashi European Center for Hebraic Research in Troyes in 1989. Minister Deri Files Libel Suit Tel Aviv (JTA) — Interior Minister Arye Deri has filed a $500,000 libel suit against the newspaper Yediot Achronot and two of its reporters last week, claim- ing that information published by the newspaper was incorrect and could cause him harm. Mr. Deri has been the target of a police investiga- tion since May for alleged misappropriation of funds and possibly illegal real estate dealings. The investigation was prompted by a series of ar- ticles in Yediot Achronot by Mordechai Gilat. Mr. Gilat and his colleague, Mali Kempner, were named in the suit.
