Rabbi Moshe Levinger: Sits at the center of the debate.

he Israeli negotiators' con-
tortions this week over the
future of Hebron, a holy
city where 100,000 Mus-
lims and 450 Jews compete im-
pious fanaticism, are a
vindication of one man's strug-
gle. That man is Rabbi Moshe
Levinger, a 60-year-old father of
11 and grandfather of so many
that even he has probably lost
count by now.
The rabbi has been nudged to
the margin by a new generation
of settlement leaders, in Hebron
and the West Bank as a whole.
He alienated many of his Gush
Emunim admirers by running for
the Knesset in 1992, splitting the
settler vote, but failing to win a
single seat.
From time to time, he can be
spotted haunting the streets of
his native Jerusalem, withdrawn,
solitary, almost unnoticed with
his ill-fitting brown suit, knitted
kippa and unkempt white beard.
He remains an ascetic figure,
though perhaps no longer a mes-
sianic one.

sion and single-minded manipu-
lation, of Labor and well as Likud
politicians, secular as well as re-
ligious, re-established a Jewish
community in Hebron and en-
sured that no government, how-
ever dovish, could write it off.
On the eve of Passover, 1968,
\
less than a year after Israeli
troops conquered the West Bank,
Rabbi Levinger and a band of dis-
ciples checked into Hebron's Park
Hotel, owned by a future Arab
mayor, Fand Kawasmeh, and
conducted a seder there. To
Kawasmeh's astonishment, the
Jews then announced that they `
\
were staying.
No government sent them, no
government has been at ease
with their presence, but stay they
did — first in an army compound,
then in Kiryat Arba, a purpose-
built suburb on the edge of town,
and finally in the heart of the city,
within sight of the Cave of Mach-
pela, the traditional burial place
of Abraham, the common forefa-
ther of Jews and Arabs.
