Temple Israel is pleased to announce
Scholar-in-Residence Weekend
March 13, 14 and 15
War, Mr. Begin felt vin-
dicated by his actions and he
broke his long, self-induced
silence last year to say so
publicly.
History may be kind to
him, citing his Nobel Peace
Prize, but it is important to
remember how vilified Mr.
Begin was throughout his
lifetime, not only by enemies
of Israel but by Jews as well.
He regretted the fact that
he inspired such feelings,
but he did not waver in his
views. Principles mattered
far more to him than pop-
ularity. In one of his most
important speeches, at the
1979 signing of the peace
treaty with Egypt, Mr.
Begin thanked God for giv-
ing him the strength to sur-
vive the Nazi era and
Siberian imprisonment and
to neither waver "nor flinch
from foreigners and, what is
more painful, from my own
people, and even from close
friends."
Standing on the White
House lawn, watching that
historic event, I will never
forget the poignancy of Mr.
Begin's gesture as, flanked
by Jimmy Carter and Anwar
Sadat, he paused to place a
yarmulke on his head before
concluding his remarks. He
read, in Hebrew, from Psalm
126: "Turn again our cap-
tivity, 0 Lord, as the
streams turn in the south.
They that sow in tears shall
reap in joy."
Menachem Begin knew
the tears and the joy. He
once said he would like to be
remembered "as the man
who set the borders of Eretz
Yisrael for all eternity." He
devoted his life to that goal
but, at his death, his nation
and his people are still
divided over whether or not
they share his views.
What gave him greatness
was his sense of mission, do-
ing what he felt was right for
his people, whether it was
making war or making
peace. The same could be
said of Anwar Sadat, with
whom Mr. Begin shared the
Nobel Peace Prize and, now,
a place in history. As the
current Mideast negotia-
tions drag on, both men are
remembered, and missed, for
the courage they displayed
as soldiers for peace. ❑
The Eighteen Benedictions
open with "God of Abraham,
God of Isaac and God of
Jacob" — not "God of Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob" — be-
cause each patriach sought
and served God for himself,
and did not accept blindly
the God of his fathers.
—Meir Eisenstadt
