Chief Rabbi
Calls For Prayers
Jerusalem (JTA) — As Israeli
traffic fatalities continue to rise
at a shocking rate, one of Israel's
chief rabbis has called on the
country to seek spiritual help in
cutting down the number of
deaths on the road.
Chief Sephardi Rabbi Eliyahu
Bakshi-Doron called for mass
recitations of the traveler's prayer
to help reduce traffic fatalities.
His announcement came as or-
ganizations for traffic safety
urged the government to declare
a state of national emergency on
the roads.
More than 25 people were
killed and 70 injured in road ac-
cidents in the past week. Since
the beginning of the year, 404
people have died on the roads, an
average of about 60 people per
month.
According to figures recently
released by the Central Bureau
of Statistics, someone is injured
in a traffic accident in Israel every
14.5 minutes.
The bureau also provided some
additional, sobering statistics:
Every two hours, a pedestrian is
hit by a car; every two hours, a
child is hurt in a traffic accident;
every 16 hours, a person dies in
a traffic accident.
Over longer periods of time,
these statistics create a particu-
larly troubling picture.
The death toll on Israeli roads
nearly equals the number of dead
from all of Israel's wars: more
than 18,000.
Earlier this year, the Masorti,
or Conservative, movement in Is-
rael issued a driver's prayer:
"Our God and God of our an-
cestors ... Help me to drive with
care, to keep a proper distance ...
to yield the right of way; with
awareness, to stop in time," read
the prayer, which was part of the
movement's attempt to compile
a new prayer book that would
better reflect the realities of dai-
ly life in Israel.
Israeli police officials, noting
that many accidents involve
youths who have been drinking,
recently began a widespread cam-
paign to discourage drinking and
driving.

OPENING NOVEMBER 1ST ON ORCHARD LAKE ROAD IN SYLVAN LAKE
(former PIZZATIME THEATER)
Museum Head
Speaks On Bosnia
,,,.
.
Washington (JTA) — The head
of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial
Museum has taken the Bosnian
government to task for failing to
admit to the Bosnian history of
collaborating with the Nazis dur-
ing World War II.
Miles Lerman, chairman of the
museum's memorial council, re-
proached Bosnia-Herzegovina's
ambassador to the United States
after an ecumenical prayer ser-
vice designed to call attention to
the ethnic cleansing in the former
Yugoslavia.
`Tell your prime minister to ac-
knowledge Bosnia's past or else
I'll do it myself and it will be
much stronger," Mr. Lerman told
Ambassador Sven Alkalaj in the
presence of a reporter after the
half-hour ceremony.
"We have done more for your
country, more than anyone else
in the world," said Mr. Lerman,
under whose leadership the Holo-
caust museum has been out front
in condemning the atrocities in
Bosnia.
"Unless your present govern-
ment is prepared to acknowledge
that some Bosnians were collab-
orators with Nazi Germany and
wore the uniforms of the SS, this
support can not last forever."
During his exchange with Mr.
Lerman, Mr. Alkalaj agreed to
take the message back to Bosnian
Prime Minister Haris Silajdzic.
In an interview after the con-
frontation, Mr. Alkalaj said his
government is "not denying the
atrocities committed against
Jews in World War II."
Mr. Silajdzic plans to come to
Washington before the end of the
year, Mr. Alkalaj said.
An estimated 60,000 Jews per-
ished in the former Yugoslavia
during World War II, according
to the Holocaust museum. Most
were victims of Nazi collabora-
tors in Croatia and Bosnia.
The organized Jewish com-
munity has expressed outrage at
reports of ethnic cleansing and
other acts committed by Bosnian
Serbs fighting the predominant-
ly Bosnian Muslim government.
Knesset Term
Too Turbulent
Jerusalem (JTA) —As the Knes-
set ended its summer session,
Speaker Shevach Weiss chastised
opposition and coalition members
for behavior that he said endan-
gered democratic government in
Israel.
Mr. Weiss, citing a lack of par-
liamentary decorum from both
sides of the aisle, said that this
year's Knesset term had been too
stormy — even by Israeli stan-
dards.
He cited incidents from recent
weeks, including organized up-
roars on the Knesset floor, coor-
dinated efforts by opposition
members to heckle government
ministers off the podium and dis-
ruptions that prevented the
speaker from maintaining order.
Among the final pieces of
Knesset business, opposition
members called for a national ref-
erendum to approve any further
implementation of the Palestin-
ian self-rule accord.
The measure was defeated —
during a day that included yet
more parliamentary mayhem.
