Trial Of
Rabbi Begins
New York/JTA — The trial of a New
Jersey rabbi charged with arranging
the death of his wife started Monday.
Rabbi Fred Neulander, who plans to
testify in his defense during the trial,
has pleaded innocent to the charges.
His wife, Carol, was found beaten
to death at the couple's home in
1994. The rabbi, now 60, resigned his
pulpit at M'Kor Shalom in Cherry
Hill, N.J., in February 1995 amid
reports that he had been unfaithful.

Atlanta/JTA — A Delta Air Lines
flight from Atlanta to Newark was
diverted to Charlotte, N.C., on
Sunday after passengers complained of
t-vo "Middle Eastern" men who were
huddled in the back of the plane
speaking a language other than
English.
After the plane landed in Charlotte,
investigators found that the two were
Orthodox Jews who were saying
prayers during the flight.
"Everybody is kind of on edge, and
it just doesn't take much to upset a lot
of people," said an official at the
Charlotte-Douglas International
Airport. The flight continued to
Newark.

Number Of Homes
In Settlements Up
Tel Aviv/JTA — The number of
homes in Jewish settlements in the
West Bank and Gaza Strip grew by 62
percent since peace talks with the
Palestinians began in 1993, according
to Peace Now.
Citing figures by Israel's Central
Bureau of Statistics, the group said
Tuesday that in 1993 there were
32,750 housing units in Jewish settle-
ments. Since then, it said, another
20,371 have been added.
The group, which favors disman-
tling settlements to secure peace with
the Palestinians, said the peak year of
construction in settlements was 2000,
when former Prime Minister Ehud
Barak was trying to reach a final
peace agreement with the
Palestinians.

Giuliani Refuses
Gift From Saudi
New York/JTA — A Saudi prince
blamed "Jewish pressure" for the
rejection of his $10 million donation
to a New York relief fund.
Prince Alwaleed bin Talal also said
Palestinian Authority leader Yasser
Arafat thanked him for linking the
Sept.11 attacks on the United States
to the Palestinian cause.
Last week, New York Mayor Rudy
Giuliani refused to accept the dona-
tion after the visiting prince said the
attacks should cause America to
"adopt a more balanced stance toward
the Palestinian cause." Giuliani said
the attempted linkage made by the
prince, issued after he toured the
World Trade Center disaster site in
New York, was "part of the problem"
that led to the attacks.
