A Jewish life is to celebrate with
others, grieve with others, in-
teract with others.
And a Jewish life is to be lived.
In as many ways and in all ways
possible. "Choose life," the Torah
tells us.
And so, while I admire what
Anne Scheiber did in death, I am
not sure if that lesson is worth
her lesson of how not to live.

While I admire what
Anne Scheiber did in
death, I am not sure
if that lesson is
worth her lesson of
how not to live.

But then I suppose life is full
of ambivalence. The trick, I
think, is to learn from everything
— to learn from Anne Scheiber's
life how not to spend our time on
this earth, how a Jewish life is
not to be. And to learn from her
death what being a Jew is about,
'understanding that what we
leave behind is our good deeds.
May her memory be for a
blessing. ❑

Berlin Plans
Trade Center

Berlin (JTA) — The recent an-
nouncement of the 1997 opening
of the Jewish Trade and Com-
munication Center is another
move toward rebuilding what
once was a thriving Jewish
neighborhood in the eastern part
of this city.
The new building, which will
house a permanent exhibit on
Jewish culture and trade, will be
located on Oranienburger
Strasse in eastern Berlin's Sche-
unenviertel, a pre-World War II
center of Jewish, culture that has
been undergoing a renewal.
The Jewish Trade and Com-
munication Center will be near
the newly reconstructed Neue
Synagogue, which is home to
Centrum Judaica, a center for
Jewish learning and an exhibit
on Berlin Judaism.
The private company over-
seeing the project has indicated
that it will open a Jewish restau-
rant and bagel bakery.
In addition, plans for a Jew-
ish bookstore and a Judaica shop
are under way as well as a ser-
vice for special events and a trav-
el agency.
Jewish organizations and pro-
fessionals have already discussed
renting space from the center for
communication and trade.
