graduation is an unnecessary
tradition.
Rabbi Martin Berman of Con-
gregation Beth Achim believes
the courts are moving in a di-
rection that eventually will per-
mit prayer.
"Most Jews believe there
should be a clear separation,"
Rabbi Berman said. "The pen-
dulum has swung too far. We
don't want the state to mandate
religion, and I don't believe that
prayer belongs in schools. I also
believe that a middle ground has
to be found."
Lubavitch opposes organized
prayer in public school. But, ac-
cording to Lubavitch spokesman
Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky of New
York, a moment of silence and
non-denominational prayer is ac-
ceptable.
Though Southfield School
Board President Steve Kaplan

said government should not dic-
tate religion, he would not object
to "generic prayer during a cer,-
emony."
"I have no objection to the
Pledge of Allegiance or any pub- 2
lic event using a prayer or the
word God as long as one religion
isn't favored or promoted over
c‘J
another," Mr. Kaplan said.
The Supreme Court did not
address a moment of silence in
its decision.
Michigan Sen. Carl Levin and '‘
his brother, Rep. Sander Levin.,
both Democrats, are consistent J--‘
supporters of church and state c,
separation.
But neither would speculate
on what — if any — legislation
might be introduced in botlic_
houses of Congress if the
Supreme Court in the future de-
creases religious restrictions in li

Beit She'an Excavations
Unearth History

IT'S TREMBLE.

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Ancient
empires that were the
cornerstones of Western
civilization left their mark
on the Holy Land.
Among other things, they
left a public toilet, a brothel
and a city reputed to have
been founded by the Greek
god Dionysus, the son of
Zeus and Semele, who was
the goddess of fertility and
wine and patron of choral
music and drama.
These relics from deep an-
tiquity have been unearthed
by generations of archae-
ologists digging away year
after year in and around
Beit She'an, south of Lake
Tiberias.
The Beit She'an excava-
tions are the most extensive
in Israel and have been go-
ing on since the 1920s.
To date they have unear-
thed the history of the
Hellenistic, Roman and
Byzantine cities, built one
atop the other on the site
like layers of a cake beginn-
ing about 300 B.C.E. They
were inhabited continuously
until the destruction of the
tiered cities by a massive
earthquake at the end of the
8th century C.E.
This season's dig appears
to have shed new light on
the legend of Dionysus.
The earlier excavations,
conducted by British and
American archaeologists
during the British Mandate
period and continued after
1948 by the Israel govern-
ment's Antiquity Depart-
ment and the Hebrew Uni-
versity, concentrated on an-

cient Roman and Byzantine „—
cities on the plain.
This year, the work swit-
ched to the top of the hill J
overlooking the restored `J
Roman amphitheater which II I

of jazz concerts.
According to archaeologist
Gaby Mazor, who led the -Ji j J
latest dig together with
Rahel Bar-Natan, legend
has it that Dionysus stopped
at Beit She'an en route from= <
Europe to India.
He was accompanied by
Nysa, the nurse who had
raised him as a boy. She died

site by Dionysus, who left
behind bodyguards to pro-
tect the tomb. He also estab-
l ished the city of Nysa
Scythopolis in her honor.
The excavations did not
reveal any signs of the j-
nanny's tomb but did un-
cover parts of the ancient
Hellenistic city.
The hilltop excavators
found the remains of several
homes, a hoard of pottery,
candle holders painted with
mythical figures, a weaving
loom, wine jars, and other
domestic utensils, many [—
