representation, other than Rab-
bi Rosenzweig. Although the sig-
nificance of this day was
assuredly sermonized at every
synagogue, the attendance at
this public commemoration was
shamefully low.
Whenever there is a tragedy
in Israel, besides individual
synagogue sermons, this com-
munity galvanizes together in
one location for prayer, comfort
and hope. Were it not for the
Holocaust, there would be no Is-
rael.
I have also yet to receive any
notes from the Hebrew schools
reminding, requesting or stress-
ing the importance of the partic-
ipation of our youth at this
memorial. The theme of this
memorial, of synagogue sermons
and at the Hebrew schools is "Za-
chor — Remember."
But who needs to remember?
As I looked out at the people at
this memorial, the majority were
our elderly — the survivors.
They already know, all too well,
the lessons of the Holocaust.
Years from now they will be
gone.
We as a Jewish community
owe the victims and the sur-
vivors a pledge to never forget
what happened. Apathy is un-
acceptable.

A Few Good
Meshuganers

Boaz Dvir reports in last week's
Jewish News about a Lubav-
itcher in Israel selling little cups
of mikvah water for "miraculous
cures."
It is important for the Jewish
community to realize that
Lubavitch followers, congregants
and supporters number close to
a million individuals world-wide.
Such a population is "entitled" to
a few meshuganers. (One recalls
the remark by Ben Gurion — on
hearing that Israel's first thief
had been convicted — that now,
Israel was a legitimate country.)
Mr. Dvir had to range 5,000
miles to dredge up a Lubavitch-
er obviously in need of psychi-
atric help.
Might we respectfully suggest
reporting on some "less-impor-
tant" news items from the world
of Lubavitch? For example: the
largest Passover seder in the
world just conducted for a thou-
sand young Israelis in Katman-
du, Nepal; a seder for 200 Jews
in Bangkok, Thailand; Passover
food and services for Jewish pris-
oners in jails throughout the
United States; and so on.
