Rabin Suspends
Modi'in Dig
Jerusalem (JTA) — Prime Min-
ister Yitzhak Rabin has ordered
the suspension of archaeological
excavations near the planned city
of Modi'in in deference to the sen-
sitivities and objections of the
haredim, or fervently Orthodox,
Jews.
His decision was protested by
the Israeli Association of Ar-
chaeologists, who said it was a ca-
pitulation to haredi dictates.
Members of the association called
it a dangerous precedent.
The haredim say the archae-
ologists are violating Jewish law
by digging up bones. They say the
bones are buried in a graveyard
dating to the Second Temple pe-
riod, Israel Radio reported.
The haredim also object to a
recent attorney general's ruling
defining the bones as an archae-
ological find and therefore al-
lowing for them to be sent to
laboratories before they are
turned over to the Religious Af-
fairs Ministry.
Mr. Rabin said the suspension
would stand until an under-
standing could be reached with
Sephardic Chief Rabbi Eliyahu
Bakshi-Doran. Mr. Bakshi-Doron
reportedly said he would request
a permanent end to the Modi'in
excavations.
Similar protests by haredim
took place in Jerusalem against
excavations being carried out
throughout the country. The pro-
testers in the capital tried to block
the entrance to the fervently Or-
thodox Mea She'arim quarter.
Soldier Shot
In Hebron
Tel Aviv (JTA) — An Israel De-
fense Force soldier was lightly
wounded when shots were fired
at the army minibus in which he
was traveling through the He-
bron Hills, in the West Bank.
The shots were fired from a car
which sped by on the road. No
other passengers were hurt.
Army reinforcements sum-
moned to the scene gave chase
but the assailants fled into a
nearby village.
The car used by the gunmen
was later found abandoned on the
outskirts of Hebron. It had been
stolen recently from within the
Green Line, Israel's pre-196'7 bor-
ders.
Medical researcher Dr.
Joseph Goldberger (1874-
1929) was regarded as the
father of the science of nutri-
tion. More than anyone else,
he laid the basis for the
science, calling for a bal-
anced diet for the preserva-
tion of health.
