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 Our Distinguished Guest, Scholar and Extraordinary Teacher is Rabbi David Ellenson, Director of the Jerome H.
