LETTERS page 6

cast this message loudly and
clearly and over and over
again? Any other talk only le-
gitimizes the promiscuity that
is so rampant in our society.
We would also ask that The
Jewish News revise its jour-
nalistic policies. We would
hope that in the future such
news items, which only help
perpetuate immoral behavior,
would not be given front-page
status in the newspaper.

Possibilities
For Torah Aura

The Torah Aura approach to
AIDS education for Jewish
students (Jan. 8) opens up a
fascinating array of possibil-
ities for future courses, not
only for students but for the
Jewish public as well. Per-
haps I can suggest a follow-
up course:

"Preserving a Marriage and
Preventing Divorce" — "With
the wide-spread acceptance of
extra-marital affairs in our
society, it has become neces-
sary to use Jewish values *
such as ahavat Yisroel (loving
one's fellow Jew), chinuch (ed-
ucation), and Shema Yisroel
(Hear 0 Israel), to address <
the issue of safe adultery to
prevent hurting one's spouse
and children (surely among.
the noblest of Torah ideals)
and to preserve one's home
and marriage. Choosing an
appropriate partner, discre-
tion, Chanukah gifts, and oth-
er issues will be explored in —\
this course."
Future course offerings'
might include "Alef, Bet and
the IRS: Safe Cheating for the
Businessman," and "Safe Pol-
itics: Public (Self-) Service
Without Being Caught." The —\
possibilities for Torah Aura
are mind-boggling indeed.

Senators Warn Syria
On Travel Restrictions

New York (JTA) — Two
prominent senators have
warned Syria that its halt in
issuing travel visas to its
Jews, along with other re-
cent policy moves, threatens
closer U.S.- Syrian relations.
Sens. Charles Grassley, R-
Iowa, and Edward Kennedy,
D- Mass., also cited as
threats to bilateral ties
Syria's recent refusal to
meet with U.S. officials to
discuss terrorism, the in-
crease in terrorism from
Syrian-controlled Lebanon
and the continuing Syrian
support of groups such as
Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah
and the Popular Front for
the Liberation of Palestine.
The message was conveyed
in a Dec. 22 letter to the
Syrian ambassador to the
United States, Walid al-
Moualem.
So far, the senators have
received no reply from Syria,
according to an aide to Mr.
Grassley.
Since Syria lifted the
travel ban it had long im-
posed on its Jewish commun-
ity, some 2,400 have left the
country, according to a
statement by Syria's Chief
Rabbi Ibrahim Hamra. He
said another 1,450 remain.
It is believed that about

1,000 of those wish to leave, )
as well.
At a news conference last
week in Damascus, Rabbi
Hamra echoed the official
Syrian position being given
to American officials. He
said that "administrative
problems" have delayed exit
permits for the Jews, but de-
nied there had been a policy
reversal.
Mr. Moualem had given a
similar response recently to-i,
a letter from the Rev. Jesse
Jackson expressing concern
over the halt in visas.
The Syrian ambassador
had stated that "the Syrian L
government's decision of
April 1992 to allow Syrian -7 (
Jews to travel still stands."
This claim was disputed by
the Council for the Rescue of )
Syrian Jews in New York.
"If, in fact, there has been c
no policy shift, then we anx-
iously await such evidence'=\,
in a resumption of the gran- c)
ting of permits to travel,"
said Alice Harary, president
of the council, in a state-
ment. "To date, no such (.7 /
resumption has occurred."
The halt in visas began in
late October, shortly before
the U.S. presidential elec-
tion.
