LL IN THE FAMILY
Ira Kaerlinan
hen Herb Kaufman's daughters Ilene and Patty were old enough to type, they
hand typed yahrzeit notices and envelopes on an IBM Selectric typewriter.
Knowing Ira Kaufnan's great grandson Chad and great granddaughter Stephanie were
monitoring the chapel's Web site and answering e-mail inquires, we don't have to imagine
the smile on Ira's face, we just look
at Grandpa Herbie.

Burg, a founder of the National
Religious Parry (NRP) who was known for
his efforts to bridge the gap between reli-
gious and secular Jews, served in the cabi-
nets of Israeli governments for 38 years.
Born in Dresden, Germany, he was
active in religious Zionist activities
while attending university in Leipzig.
After he earned his doctorate and was
ordained as a rabbi, he escaped
Germany in 1939, a few months before
World War II broke out.
Soon after he came to Palestine, he
launched a lifetime of service to the
Jewish state.
Burg was first elected to the Knesset in
1949. During his long career there, he
served as deputy speaker of the Knesset,
and headed several ministries, including
Health, Social Welfare, Interior and
Religious Affairs.
He passed on his yen for politics to
his son, Avraham, a member of the
Labor Party who is the current speaker
of the Knesset.
The elder Burg supported the Camp
David peace accord between Israel and
Egypt, and opposed the war in Lebanon.
"Politics is not a choice between good
and evil," he once told the Jerusalem
Post. "In politics, you have to decide
between evil and less evil, and that can
be a cruel choice."
After the 1967 Six-Day War, when
Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza Strip
and Golan Heights, the younger wing of
his party grew more radical, and Burg 's
influence waned.
In a statement, the Orthodox Union
commended Burg for "his gifts for diplo-
macy and bridge-building among the
many groups that comprise the Jewish
people." It also noted his "charismatic per-
sonality" and "the depth of his thought
and creativity"
