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.

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. ❑ — All
