A number of substitutions for
"Jews" were awkwardly inserted,
including one character's reference to
the Nazi Final Solution to ridding
the world of peoples they hate." The
issue was a best seller.
* Best example of youthful inno-
cence inside the Clinton White
House: Eleven-year-old Hebrew day
school student Danny Lew, who lit
the candles at this year's Oval Office
menorah lighting, said afterward he
gas not sure why he was given the
honor. "It might have been because
I'm president of the student council at
my school, or it might have been
because my father works here," he
said, referring to Jack Lew, the direc-
tor of the White House Office of
Management and Budget.
* Coolest discovery of a cryptic
Hebrew text: The inscription on
Darth Vader's control panel. A close-
up look at the costume, which went
on display this year as part of the Star
Wars exhibit at the National Air and
Space Museum in Washington, reveals
Hebrew lettering that George Lucas'
creative team used to represent an
other-worldly language.
Don't bother searching for hidden
=;nessages — it's all gibberish. But if
you insist on a closer look, you can
buy a limited edition replica of Darth
Vader, complete with the Hebrew
script, for a mere $6,000.

At the American Friends of The Hebrew University, we view
the University as a Garden of Wisdom, a place where teaching and learning,
researching and studying and collaborating and sharing combine to provide Jerusalem,
Israel, the Middle East, World Jewry and the nations of the world with
the wisdom that furthers the goals of peace, prosperity, health & harmony.

These goals are as ancient as the Jewish People, as current as the New Year.

Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy New Year.

THE HIGH HOLIDAYS
ARE HERE AGAIN...

A Theodor Herzl commemorative
shovel awarded for outstanding
achievement in Israeli ingenuity: An
unknown culprit tried to grow dozens
of marijuana plants in a traffic island
N on a major road in Jerusalem. The
/-"plants, discovered by plainclothes
detectives, stood interspersed with
flowers planted by the city.
* Most incisive Israeli commentary
on the U.S. role in Mideast peace-
making: "We innocently thought the
fate of the peace process was in the
hands of a Jewess, born in Prague,
named Madeleine Albright," wrote
Nachum Barnea.
"Apparently the fate of the peace
process is," he continued, "in the
hands of another Jewess, named
Monica Lewinsky, who spent a fun-
filled summer three years ago as a
White House intern."
