NEWS Paris Opens Exhibition Paris (JTA) — An exhibi- tion of rare Hebrew manuscripts was unveiled at the National Library here by Minister of Culture Jack Lang. Titled "With a Mighty Arm," the exhibition, mounted under the patronage of President Francois Mitterrand, con- sists of 1,479 manuscripts, most of them never before shown in public. Michel Garel, the library's curator of Hebrew manuscripts, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that while the display contains "some aesthetically marvelous pieces," he had also included "some manuscripts without any ar- tistic value" because "they are rich with meaning and history." One of these is a prayer book written in 1613 in Lithuania, where 35 years later Cossacks slaughtered tens of thousands of Jews and burned every book they found. •
