Washington (JTA) — With a
protest and a staged arrest in
front of the White House last
week, a group of rabbis and ac-
tivists shattered months of vir-
tual silence by the Jewish
community concerning the war
in Bosnia.
Sixteen rabbis and rabbinical
students affiliated with a group
known as Jews Against Genocide
in Bosnia were arrested by police
here in a carefully orchestrated
campaign that included an in-
struction sheet titled "Procedures
for Those Getting Arrested."
Joined by another estimated
50 protesters — mostly Jewish,
but also a few Muslim — speak-
ers at the rally urged the Clinton
administration to lift the arms
administration to intervene to
end the Bosnian genocide. Many
have evoked the silence of the
world during the Holocaust to en-
courage action in Bosnia.
Joshua Goldstein echoed Rab-
bi Moline's remarks, saying,
"Anything you do for Bosnia is too
little too late, but that's no excuse
not to act."
Mr. Goldstein heads the cam-
paign here for Jews Against
Genocide in Bosnia, which was
founded at the Reconstructionist
Rabbinical College outside of
Philadelphia two years ago.
"Now is the time to stand up.
Enough is enough," said Lisa
Kapin, a Reconstructionist Rab-
binical College student who trav-
eled from Philadelphia to

embargo against Bosnia, defend
the Bihac region that has nearly
fallen into the hands of Bosnian
Serb forces and convene a war
crimes tribunal.
Amid cries of "Never again,"
speakers evoked the Chanukah
holiday in calling for immediate
action.
"President Clinton can make
a miracle in our time," said Rab-
bi Jack Moline, chairman of the
Conservative movement's So-
cialJustice Committee and one of
those arrested.
Some of the demonstrators pri-
vately admitted that some rab-
binic colleagues had refused to
participate in the rally because
they believed it was too late to do
anything.
Suggesting that the Jewish
community has been "far too qui-
et" on the issue in recent months,
Rabbi Moline stressed the im-
portz,nce of the demonstration.
"Its never too late if one life can
be saved. Imagine if there were
protests in the 1940s that helped
someone live," he said.
Several Jewish organizations
have been outspoken in the past
on the issue, urging the Clinton
AP/CHARLES TASNADI
participate in the protest.
The hour-and-a-half rally cul-
minated in a somber walk from
Lafayette Park to the White
House sidewalk across the street,
where a shofar was blown,
yahrzeit candles were lit and kad-
dish was said to commemorate
the hundreds of thousands who
have died during the war in the
former Yugoslavia.
The arrests came after the 16
demonstrators refused to leave
an area in front of the White
House where, for security rea-
sons, demonstrators are required
to continue walking.
Those arrested were taken to
police headquarters, fined $50
and released.
Organizers of the hastily
arranged protest said they had
planned to limit the number of
those arrested to ensure their re-
lease before Shabbat.
Ironically, one day before the
rally, a pro-Serbian demonstra-
tor set up a vigil in Lafayette
Park with a sign painted with
swastikas that called for the ex-
pulsion of "Jews and Muslims
from Europe" and proclaimed
"Long live Serbia."
