THE JEWISH NEWS Clinton Speaks At Ceremony Washington (JTA) — At a Havdalah service held at the floodlit Jefferson Memorial here, President Clinton spoke to members of B'nai B'rith about the importance of religious freedom in America. The event, billed as the first religious ceremony to take place at the memorial, was part of B'nai B'rith's weeklong 150th anniversary commemoration. In the United States, "more people put religion at the center of their lives" than in "any other advanced society on Earth," Mr. Clin- ton said. Just as Jews separate Shabbat from the rest of the week, so should all Ameri- cans separate and "keep our faiths free from government coercion," the president told the approximately 650 par- ticipants at the service. Under clear, chilly skies, Mr. Clinton and other speakers paid tribute to Thomas Jefferson, whom Clinton called "the father of religious freedom in America." Mr. Clinton spoke from a podium directly in front of the Jefferson statue, which stands in the middle of the monument's marble pillars, creating a dramatic effect for the onlookers. He paid tribute to B'nai B'rith, speaking of the group's long "struggle against bigotry and in- justice." He noted that B'nai B'rith had opened a hospital decades ago in his hometown of Hot Springs, Ark., that "still serves hundreds" without regard to their abil- ity to pay. And he praised the group for its work in helping vic- tims of floods and earth- quakes, both in the United States and abroad. Mr. Clinton also spoke of his administration's com- mitment to a comprehensive peace settlement in the Mid- dle East, one in which "Israel achieves lasting peace" with all its neighbors. And on the domestic front, the president said he was "very proud of the coopera- tion I have seen in the United States" between Jewish and Arab Americans trying to "make peace work." Jewish writer Leon Uris, author of the novel Ex- odus,also addressed the crowd. 0
