Inside the synagogue, the women sit on the sides fac- ing the center. The cantor is at the front of the syn- agogue, facing the Ark and the bimah. Until recently, the entire service was in Hebrew — except for the prayer for the president of the Republic of Kenya, which used to be the prayer for the King of England. Lately, because of a large influx of Americans, the congregation has become more relaxed, Dr. Blumen- thal said. More readings are in English and women have begun to take part in the service. He described the congregation's style as a cross between that of Ameri- can Orthodox and Conser- vative synagogues. In addition to Dr. Blumen- thal, the Nairobi synagogue has another strong Ameri- can connection. The shul's new rabbi — the first in years — is Rabbi Moshe Baruch Charles, formerly of Baltimore. "The search for a spiritual leader took so long because of the need for the rabbi to be bilingual" in English and Hebrew, Dr. Blumenthal said. Although English is Kenya's official language, Jews also speak varying degrees of Hebrew, Yiddish and Swahili. "In fact, there is an older lady — the matriarch of the community — who speaks absolutely fluent Swahili with the same thick Yiddish accent that my bubbie has," Dr. Blumenthal said. This mix of people has made Kenya a secure place for Jews, Dr. Blumenthal said. "There have been so many different tribes in Kenya that no one is threatened by religious dif- ferences." Kenya has little anti- Semitism and a good diplo- matic relationship with Israel. "Remember that the raid on Entebbe stopped and refueled in Nairobi," Dr. Blumenthal said. "There has always been an Israeli interest office there, and El Al has flown out of Nairobi for years." There are also programs where Israeli doctors teach in Kenya and medical per- sonnel from the African nation are trained in Israel. "In my travels around Africa, I have run into nurses all over who speak Hebrew," he said. "It turns out that they learned it while taking a three-month course at the Technion." Dr. Blumenthal and his wife, Lynne, are planning to take American Jews to Kenya for High Holy Day services and a photographic safari. "The group would spend Rosh Hashanah in Nairobi, attending services at the synagogue there, and then have 10 days to 'repent in the bush,' which in this case would be the most beautiful of Kenya's national parks," he explained. "We would be back in Nairobi for Kol Nidre." The Kenyan Jewish com- munity is looking forward to the visit, Dr. Blumenthal said. "Having visitors is always exciting for them. But it is also good for Nairobi Jews to see that they are still connected to world Jewry." ❑ Immimi NEWS I'mmi'm German Group Rejects Trial Bonn (JTA) — Germany's governing Christian Dem- ocratic Union has rejected a proposal by the Jewish community to introduce summary courts to deal with the alarming rise in neo- Nazi violence. Norbert Geis, the CDU's parliamentary spokesman, said such a course would run the risk of making neo-Nazis seem like persecuted heroes. Summary courts proceed without the usual legal for- malities to speedily dispose of cases of minor importance. But Heinz Galinslei, chairman of the German Jewish community, argued that they are needed now to confront increasing right- wing violence and to curb the circulation of anti- Semitic and other racist pro- paganda. He said the situation is most serious in former East Germany, where democratic practices and traditions have yet to take hold after 40 years of Communist government. Mr. Geis replied that the introduction of summary courts would bring back terrible memories of the Nazi past. He suggested, however, that the judicial system should make new efforts to deal efficiently with politically motivated violence. Mr. Geis explained that many of the courts in east- ern Germany are not func- tioning.
