Yiddish Limericks

Los Angeles'
ntikePS- prototype in Los Angeles, a planned Museum of
tolerancO:in Jerusalem will not deal with the Holocaust,
said' the rounder and dean of the Simon Wiesenthal
Center.
Instead, the museum's focus will be on promoting civility and tol-
erance among Jews, and between Jews and non-Jews, including
Arabs, said'Mahriri Hier. As a result, the museum will not compete
with Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial.
Hier made his comments before plans for the creation of the
museum, a $120 million project, were
unveiled in Los Angeles, where the
Simon Wiesenthal Center is located.
Architect Frank Gehry will design the
museum and conference center, which
will rise on a three-acre site at the foot
of Jerusalem's Mount Scopus, home to
the Hebrew University. It will take
about two years to complete the
designs, to be approved by the
Jerusalem municipality, and another two
to three years to finish construction and
install the exhibits.
"We are not interested in the state-
Jerusalem Mayor .
of-the-art
now, but what will be avail-
Ehud Olmert
able on the market four years from
now," said Hier.
The content and message of the exhibits will be determined by an
advisory board of distinguished educators and thinkers in Israel, Hier
added. The exhibits will be multilingual, including Hebrew, English
and Arabic.
Gary Winnick, a 51-year-old Los Angeles business executive who
made his fortune in fiber optics, is donating $40 million toward the
Jerusalem museum, which will bear the name Winnick Institute. He
described the new museum as "the first global institution of the new
millennium."
Gehry, 71, most recently praised for his design of the Bilboa
Museum in Spain, described his first Israeli assignment as "a very
moving and tough project" that had already reconnected him with
his Jewish upbringing.
Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert said that his vision for the eternal
city was a mosaic or symphony of diverse parts and voices. "I'm cer-
tain that the museum will be an important ingredient in laying the
foundation for that kind of tolerance in the capital of Israel."
