AQI IIP=1 b4 * Yom Kippur 1993/5754 Isaiah: "The hungry and the wretched poor" their fast and ours Groups Hail Police Action Montreal (JTA) — Jewish community leaders are ap- plauding the action taken by police here recently against a black group considered to be racist and anti-Semitic. Montreal police last month raided the headquarters of Black House, the local chapter of the Nation of Islam, led by Louis Far- rakhan in the United States. Black House first made news here last May, when it sponsored a speech at Con- cordia University by Khallid Abdul Muhammed, the Rev. Fa_nukhan's assistant. Since then, the group has made public pro- nouncements against Jews and homosexuals. B'nai B'rith Canada's League for Human Rights received four facsimile transmissions from Black House beginning on May 21, addressed "To those bastards among the so- called Jews." They accuse Jewish com- munity members of ex- ploiting blacks, being responsible for a continuing black holocaust and being behind the spread of AIDS and syphilis. League Chairman Stephen Scheinberg expressed satis- faction with police efforts, saying that "Black House along with the Heritage Front constitute two of the most vile racist groups func- tioning in Canada." The Heritage Front is a white supremacist group. League spokesman Jonathan Schneiderman pointed out that Montreal's organized black community "in large measure has re- jected Black House." Now "it is up to our political leadership and law enforce- ment to put a stop to their hate," he added. League officials had been in constant touch with police regarding the matter and had been assured that an in- vestigation was in progress. B'nai B'rith has considered asking that charges be brought against Black House official Shola Paul Martinet following an arti- cle in the Gazette, the local newspaper, which quoted him threatening violence against the Jewish commun- ity. Spokesmen for the Cana- dian Jewish Congress also applauded police efforts, as well as the refusal of Cana- dian authorities to grant refugee status to the Black House "frontman," Sola Abel Lenlehin. ❑ MAZON, since our beginning almost eight years ago, has spoken of our shared ability to build a bridge between the relative abundance in our lives and the deprivation suffered by those among us who are so poor as to be hungry. Many are close by in our own communities and some are in such faraway places as Sarajevo, where a cruel war rages against a civilian population. These people are not beyond our reach, to the extent that you support MAZON's efforts. Yom Kippur is a time for prayers and sermons, fasting and true teshuvah — sincere repentance. It is also a time to provide to those whom Isaiah called the hungry and the wretched poor. We ask, as in years past and as we will ask long into the future, that you give to MAZON the dollars that would have been spent for food on this blessed day of voluntary fasting, to help feed those in our communities whose involuntary fast knows no end. It is only with your help that we can help them. r - -- NMI MIMI NMI =III MIN III= IN= IMO OEM MN IN= NIMII MN mum NM - MOM MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger 2940 Westwood Blvd., Suite 7 ow, Los Angeles, CA 90064-4120 I I I I I YES, I/we choose to help fast suffered by • 1 &hungry people.
