Lubavitch Rabbis
Bake Russian Matzah
Moscow (JTA) — As Russia
plunged into a new political
crisis with President Boris
Yeltsin's declaration of
"special rule" on March 20,
the Lubavitcher rabbis in
Moscow were busy baking
matzah in preparation for
Pesach.
"A revolution?" said Rabbi
Berel Lazar, who had not
seen the TV news here with
Yeltsin's announcement,
traces of flour on his sleeve,
"We have our own revo-
lution here."
Several hundred Moscow
Jews preferred to make the
journey to the Lubavitchers'
model matzah bakery at the
Russian capital's vast
VDNH park, rather than get
involved in the small pro-
and anti-Yeltsin demonstra-
tions that took place follow-
ing the president's an-
nouncement.
Mr. Yeltsin declared
emergency rule and called
for a national referendum to
resolve the dispute between
him and the Russian
Parliament. The Parlia-
ment, in turn, declared Mr.
Yeltsin's move unconstitu-
tional.
Hundreds of non-Jewish
Russians similarly opted for
the park, where they gaped
at new Western products
displayed in exhibition halls
"Dr. Ron Wolfson is gifted with a
pragmatic sense fitted to the needs
and wants of Jews who come from
the periphery and seek to enter
the center of Jewish life. This book
combines the author's intelligence
as a Jewish educator and his experi-
ence as a father aware of the Passover
mandate to transmit memories to our
children. Sprinkled with anecdote,
aphorisms and good humor, it pa-
tiently guides the reader to significant
practice: whit to do, why it is done
and how to answer."

In the center of Moscow,
crowds strolled on the city's
main street, window-
shopping and eating ice
cream, while the
McDonald's on Pushkin
Square was packed.
At the model matzah
bakery, there was a special
treat. Children got to make
their own matzah, kneading,
shaping and baking the
unleavened bread with their
own hands.
"The hands-on experience
will teach them more than
any lecture," said one
Lubavitcher.
Children were not the only
ones trying their hands at
baking matzah. One grand-
mother, Faina Kogan, came
forward with tears in her
eyes and asked permission to
prepare her own matzah.
"The government denied
me a formal Jewish edu-
cation," Mrs. Kogan said,
"but they were never-able to
take away the pride I felt in
helping my mother bake.
matzahs."
Said Rabbi Baruch Cunin,
"We don't know what will
happen in-Rwsia now; in the
•meantime we're getting
ready for : Pesakh.'" "

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Health
Minister Haim Ramon
sought this week to reassure
a nervous public that pa-
tients run little risk of con-
tracting AIDS from their
doctors.
He made his remarks as
newspapers were reporting
widely that a surgeon prac-
ticing near Haifa discovered
he was HIV positive.
The surgeon, reportedly an
Arab doctor employed at a
large government hospital
in the Wadi Ara region, has
voluntarily ended all bodily
contact with patients and
poses no serious threat to the
public, Mr. Ramon said.
The doctor said he would
confine his work to research.
The surgeon, who re-
quested that his name not be
disclosed at this time, had a
large private practice in-
cluding both Jews and
Arabs. He said he will now
confine his activities to
research.
He first learned that he
