Maple, West Bloomfield, Michigan 48322, 626-7519 58 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1991 Yitzhak Shamir Begins Coast-To-Coast Visit Los Angeles (JTA) — Beginning a coast-to-coast U.S. junket that involves major speeches and a White House meeting today with President Bush, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir of Israel ran into a few snags here last week, but took them in stride. For starters, a number of alumni of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion objected to its con- ferral of an honorary degree on the leader of the right- wing Likud bloc. Then some major fund- raisers complained that he was slighting the official leadership of the organized Jewish community in favor of local Likud supporters. But despite these hitches, his Los Angeles appearance seems to have begun well, and his remarks were vin- tage Shamir. Accepting an honorary doctorate in humane letters from the Reform seminary, the prime minister gently chided his hosts about their movement's opposition to Zionism in its early days. "At the beginning of this century, when our national flag was unfolded, your organization was not among the most ardent supporters of the Zionist movement," Mr. Shamir recalled. "But with the passage of years, the perception chang- ed, and some of your leaders became the most outspoken advocates of our ideas and goals," he added. Mr. Shamir paid tribute to the late Abba Hillel Silver, a leading Reform rabbi and Zionist, and to the work of the HUC-JIR campus in Jerusalem. It is not certain whether he was aware of the letter sent several days earlier by 33 seminary graduates, remin- ding HUC-JIR President Alfred Gottschalk of Mr. Shamir's opposition to the Camp David accords and his "cynical deals with religious zealots and extremist politi- cians." Four of the 11 HUC-J11i, faculty members at the Los Angeles campus absented themselves from the academic procession in pro- test. Bestowing the degree, Mr. Gottschalk lauded Mr. Shamir's efforts to assure re- ligious pluralism and an equal status for Reform Judaism in Israel. The prime minister was also praised for his opposition to changes in the Law of Return, which would have nullified conver- sions performed by Conser- vative and Reform rabbis. Accepting the honor, Mr. Shamir warned that the road to Middle East peace "may turn out to be full of difficulties and complica- tions," but he pledged that Israel would continue "with all our might to strive for peace." He described his govern- ment's two primary obliga- tions as assuring the securi- ty of the state and the in- gathering of the exiles. Yet despite the emphasis on armed defense, "we have not become and we shall not become a martial people," he said. "Judaism has never glorified martyrs or en "We have not become and we shall not become a martial people. Judaism has never glorified martyrs or encouraged martyrology. Judaism is a faith of life." Yitzhak Shamir couraged martyrology. Judaism is a faith of life." Following the HUC-JIR ceremony, Mr. Shamir visited the Simon Wiesen- thal Center to briefly ad- dress students at the Yeshiva University High School. Although he postponed some scheduled private meetings with entertain- ment industry leaders be- cause of fatigue, he met later with some 30 pastors, writers and television preachers, representing about 20 million evangelical Christians in America. Their spokesman, the Rev. Frank Eiklor, assured Mr. Shamir that the group had not come to give him advice, but to lend him their prayers and their "arm of solid sup- port." During a few minutes with Israeli reporters, Mr. Shamir touched briefly on his upcoming meeting with Mr. Bush. He said he would urge that Israel and the United States coordinate their policies on
