KIMBERLY UFTON STAFF WRITER
R
abbi Arnie Sleutelberg
felt a bit uneasy. Rabbi
Lane Steinger was fasci-
nated. And Rabbi Daniel
Polish was just amazed.
Last week, the three area Re-
form rabbis returned from a 10-
day mission to the Middle East,
where they met with local offi-
cials in Jordan, PLO leaders in
the West Bank and Israel
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
The rabbis joined an 80-
member delegation of Reform
rabbis from the Association of
Reform Zionists of America for
an unusual and historic trip.
Never before has a group of rab-
bis traveled to a country that is
technically at war with Israel.
Security was exceptionally
tight in Jordan — with one
guard for every two rabbis.
There, a meeting scheduled
with Crown Prince Hassan was
canceled, apparently because of
threats to the rabbis from the
extremist Muslim Brother-
hood. "This trip represented
an effort of the American Re-
form Movement and the rabbi-
nite to demonstrate our support
of the peace process, and to
learn more about the actual
Process," said Rabbi Steinger of
Temple Emanu-El. "We met
with settlers who believe in the
peace process;i-and with those
who don't.
"I have a deepened sense of
how difficult it is to get all of the
pieces of the puzzle worked out,"
Rabbi Steinger said. "It is com-
plex and convoluted."
Though Rabbi Sleutelberg
agreed with the other two rab-
bis that the trip reinforced his
support for the peace process,
he said it was clear that "there
was no peace.
"I didn't realize how much
anxiety I felt until we crossed
back into Israel after being in
Jordan," he said. "I was able to
relax for the first time once we
got to Israel."
The trip started in Israel, and
then the rabbinic group trav-
eled through Egypt to get to Jor-
dan. They drove down the Sinai
Coast in Egypt and picked up a
ferry boat that took the rabbis
to Jordan.
"It took us 12 hours to go four
miles," Rabbi Sleutelberg said.
"rm pretty optimistic about the
peace process. But I am a real-
ist, too. I know it won't be an
easy road, but it is going to hap-
pen.
"I'm optimistic,
but I'm a realist,
too."
Rabbi Sleutelberg
Rabbi Polish said Jordan
was "far different from what I
expected.
"I was struck by how ab-
solutely similar it is to Israel—
the topography, weather, vege-
tation. From the balcony in our
hotel in Amman, if you didn't
know where you were, you
might think you were in
Jerusalem."
After the visit to Jordan, Rab-
bi Polish said the things that di-
vide the nations in the Middle
East "are only political and ar-
bitrary.
`The Jordanian government
went out of its way to protect
us. So I felt very safe," Rabbi
Polish said. "We met with Jor-
danian academics, officials, real
people.
"They were all consistent in
expressing their views that the
Jordanian people are ready for
peace with Israel. They spoke
with some anger about why the
Palestinians have not followed
up constructively on the agree-
ments they made with Israel.
They seem to hold the Pales-
tinians responsible.
"I am 100 percent convinced
that Israel and Jordan really
are on the brink of peace," Rab-
bi Polish said. "What these peo-
ple are beginning to understand
is that they can gain by peace,
and it doesn't make sense to
pursue war." 111
