Netherlands
Restores Shul

Amsterdam (JTA) — Ceremonies
were held this week to mark the
completion of restoration work on
the oldest synagogue in the
Netherlands that is still in use.
The synagogue of Middelburg,
located in the capital of the south-
western Dutch province of Zee-
land, was built in 1705 and
currently serves a community of
31 Jews.
Because of the synagogue's
small size — it is only 33 by 30
feet — the ceremonies for some
350 invited guests were held in
the city's 17th century town hall.
The tiny synagogue is sur-
rounded on all sides by houses
and is only accessible by going
through an alley between two of
the houses. The synagogue was
damaged by a British grenade
during a World War II battle in
the autumn of 1944.
• Because of its small size, the
Jewish community of Middelburg
was unable to pay the restoration
costs.
Instead, non-Jewish members
of the community set up a foun-
dation in 1987 to collect dona-

;-Th

In addition to its use as a house
of worship, the refurbished syn-
agogue will serve as a cultural
center and exhibition hall.

Israel General
Controversial

Tel Aviv (JTA) —Maj. Gen. Ami-
ram Levine was named as com-
manding officer in charge for the
northern sector, a posting that
will give him overall responsibil-
ity for Israel Defense Force oper-
ations in the southern Lebanon
security zone.
His appointment was regard-
ed by some as controversial, since
Maj. Gen. Levine was among
three top military officers tried
in connection with a 1992 acci-
dent at the Tze'elim training base
in the Negev that claimed the
lives of five Israeli soldiers and
wounded six others.
Maj. Gen. Levine was origi-
nally among those held respon-
sible for the misfiring of a missile
at the training base. But in Oc-
tober, a military court absolved
Levine, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.
Gen. Ehud Barak and IDF Chief

of Intelligence Maj. Gen. Uri
Saguy of any responsibility for
the mishap.
Maj. Gen. Levine, 48, former-
ly the General Headquarters
commander in charge of Israeli
commando units, succeeds Maj.
Gen. Yitzhak Mordechai, who is
expected to retire from the army
at the end of the year after serv-
ing in his present post for three
years.
