Good SpOrts Sports On The very now and again I like to tell people about some of the great Web sites available. There are millions of sites on the World Wide Web, thousands of which have to do with Jewish sports and Jewish athletes. This month, I'd like to tell you about some of the better sites out there. 1. "International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame" (http://cyber9.com/ijs/: Not only can you visit the International Jewish Sports Hall Of Fame in per- son, you can visit the Web site. You'll learn about the Hall of Fame, and there's a Ikt of elected members (like former Detroit Tiger Hank Greenberg and Hall-Of- ! Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax,) when they were elected (both in 1979_), the country they represent (USA for both) and their sport (baseball.) - It also lists winners of the Pillar of Achievement and of the Lifetime Achievement Award. You also can send away for a free brochure. 2. "Maccabiah Games" (http://www.maccabiusa.com/): One of the best Jewish sports sites out there. It has everything you could want to know, including what the games are, the goals, history and projects in the works. On the site, you can apply to be on the 16th U.S. Maccabiah team. Also on the site is a review Scott Warheit, a sports fanatic i who also collects sports memorabil- ia, attends North Farmington High School. AMENDMENT of Church and State is Being Done Under Cover These "book covers" are not what they seem to be. They are part of a troubling trend today to rename religiously oriented initiatives to make them sound politically appealing and pop- ular...a trend that poses a real threat to our constitutional guarantees. Proposals such as shown above call for taxpayer dollars to fund religion in public schools and public life, effectively destroying the separation of church and state so important to our freedom. ADL has always been a watchdog in safeguarding the freedoms guaranteed to all our citi- zens regardless of their religious, ethnic or racial description. It is why we have been con- stantly active in making the media and state and Federal legislators aware of the recent prac- tices used by right-wing political groups. For more than 85 years, ADL has been committed to protecting America's values of plural- ism and tolerance...to defending diversity and equality for all...to exposing and condemn- ing hatred and extremism of all kinds. The separation of church and state, especially in our educational system, is one of our most important commitments. Join us in exposing and fighting this threat. of the 15th Maccabiah Games, where more than 5,000 athletes from 53 countries competed. In the review, you can see pictures taken at the game, results and members of Team USA. A calen- dar also is at your disposal where you can check out what events are coming up soon. Action Alert — Frontal Assault on the Constitution The "Religious Freedom Amendment" has passed the House Judiciary Committee and will soon be voted on by the full House. Its defeat is a top ADL legislative priority. • The Bill is unnecessary; religious expression, including in schools, is well protected by the First Amendment. • The Bill is divisive; it would pit religious groups against each other for public funds.

Since 1988, this 20-team league has had players giving 110 percent. This season the league has been split into two divisions. The top four teams from each division will challenge for the Bonkers Bowl. The bottom four teams will go after the Jerusalem Cup. On the Web site you find pictures of games, the schedule, scores and standings during the season. I have not even begun to scratch the surface of what the Web has to offer. There are so many more sites and so many more interesting things that it would take years to discover them all. I hope that you check out the sites, and if you have a site you would like me to review, or if you would like to drop me a comment or question, please e-mail me at: TheWave- Man©prodigy.net . rJ HOPE AND OPPORTUNITY SCHOLARSHIPS The Latest Effort to Break Down The Separation Web Scott Warheit AppleTree Staff Writer PARENTAL RIGHTS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AMENDMENT % OF THE GREATEST BIRTHDAY PARTIES ANYWHERE!
