pushed on him by the elite," he
said.
Gen. Yair led a paratroop bat-
talion of 300 soldiers in the Yom
Kippur War of 1973 that held off
the Syrians as they pushed into
the Golan Heights. Although they
were attacked, none of hiS soldiers
fell into the hands of the Syrians.
The general served in Lebanon in
1982, and in 1988 was promoted
to the rank of major general.
Gen. Yair became head of the
personnel division of Israel De-
fense Forces and headed the com-
mittee that wrote the IDF ethical
code.
"I told [the protesters] every
time we have a dignitary here
they go into his personnel file, find
something they don't like and
protest," said Menashe Shemesh,
an FIDF board member and a ma-
jor in the Israeli Army reserves.
"They were protesting against
something they did not read."
The code, called "Spirit of the
IDF," does not, in fact, contain any
reference to the Land of Israel or
the Jewish state. Its preamble
says only that it derives its values
and basic principles from "the tra-
dition of the Jewish people
throughout its history," and 'the
tradition of the State of Israel,

with its democratic principles,
laws and institutions."
Yet, Mr. Shemesh pointed out,
the code "is not the Declaration of
Independence of Israel. We have
to understand that in Israel, when
you mention the word 'land,' the
army has no say whether it is this
way or another.
"The army's job is to protect and
how we have to do it in the most
ethical way suitable to a Jewish
soldier in a Jewish country," he
said.
The Sept. 17 dinner, the first
for the 2-year-old Michigan Chap-
ter of the Friends of Israel Defense
Forces, also honored 11 American
veterans of the Israeli armed
forces and featured speeches by
Gen. Yair and a young soldier who
recently returned from a tour of
duty in Israel.
The local chapter of FIDFs goal
is to raise $1.2 million to build a
new wing at a seaside facility in
Ashkelon where soldiers go to re-
lax for a week out of each year of
their military duty. Fortunately,
Mr. Lichterman said, the turnout
was fantastic. About 620 people
paid $125 each for tickets.
"We're so important, we even
attracted protesters," he re- (---/
marked.

Wayne State University's Cohn-Haddow Center for Judaic Stud-
ies has put on major conferences since it was created in 1988.
The conferences are part of the center's two-pronged approach
to have a scholarly presence on campus and an outreach pro-
gram for the community.
In 1997, the WSU center is hoping to sponsor a conference fo-
cusing on the 100th anniversary of the Zionist movement. And
in 1998, it may focus on its 10th anniversary and the Jewish
communal influences at Wayne State. ❑
