Welcome to the

Rome/JTA — A delegation of Libyan
Jews living in Italy met with Muammar
Qadhafi. The Libyan government invit-
ed the group to forge ties and determine
compensation for abandoned and
decrepit Jewish communal property in
Libya, said Stanley Urman, executive
director of Justice for Jews from Arab
Countries.
Thousands of Jews were expelled or
fled to Italy in the wake of anti-Semitic
violence in Libya following the 1967
Six-Day War, leaving behind their
homes and most possessions.
Today, Jews of Libyan origin make up
more than one-third of the Jewish com-
munity of Rome.

Washington/JTA — The Supreme Court
agreed to hear a case about public dis-
play of the Ten Commandments.
The court will hear oral arguments
early next year in two cases, one involv-
ing a display on the State Capitol
grounds in Texas and the other regard-
ing a monument in Kentucky court-
houses. The court will hear the two cases
as one, which often happens when lower
courts disagree.
Several Jewish groups oppose the pub-
lic display of the Ten Commandments,
suggesting it crosses the line separating
church and state, and likely will file
briefs in the case.
Orthodox Jewish groups likely would
oppose striking down displays of the Ten
Commandments if it meant public dis-
plays of menorahs and other Jewish
symbols also would be forbidden, offi-
cials say. The high court ruled in 1980
that the Ten Commandments could not
be displayed in public school classrooms.

New York/JTA — A sports announcer is
back for the baseball playoffs despite
comments seen as anti-Semitic.
Steve Lyons had questioned Shawn
Green's commitment to Judaism after
the Los Angeles Dodgers slugger sat out
an important game against the San
Francisco Giants because of Yom
Kippur. Green's "not a practicing Jew,"
Digest
Lyons said on air. "He didn't marry a
Jewish girl."
He added: 'And from what I under-
stand, he never had a bar mitzvah,
which is unfortunate because he didn't
get the money."
The Fox network, which is televising
the games, apologized and said Lyons
had expressed remorse.
Security Money OK'd
Washington/JTA — The U.S. Congress
approved $25 million to protect syna-
gogues and other high-risk nonprofit
institutions from terrorism.
Both houses of Congress passed the
money as part of the Homeland Security
Appropriations Act, which awaits
President Bush's signature. Jewish
groups, including the United Jewish
Communities and the Orthodox Union,
led an effort to gain a separate security
fund for nonprofit groups.
Several other Jewish groups were con-
cerned that security aid for synagogues
and churches would cross the line sepa-
rating church and state,
Kerry, Bush Rip Attacks
Washington/JTA — President Bush and
John Kerry expressed their condolences
to Israel and Egypt over bomb attacks
that killed at least 32 people, some of
them Israeli tourists.
"I express condolences to all who lost
loved ones and to the people of Egypt
and of Israel," Bush said in a statement
issued by the White House. "I com-
mend the cooperation between Israel
and Egypt to help the victims and their
families. The United States stands ready
to provide assistance to the government
of Egypt as it brings the perpetrators of
these acts to justice."
Kerry, the Massachusetts senator and
Democratic nominee for president, said
the attacks "only strengthen our resolve
to wage the war on terror relentlessly
with a single-minded determination: to
capture or kill the terrorists and crush
their movements."
Focus: Anti-Terror Work
New York/JTA — The U.N. Security
Council voted unanimously to ratchet
up anti-terrorism efforts. The 15-0 reso-
lution called on all nations to prosecute
or extradite anyone supporting terror.
It was introduced weeks ago by Russia
after attacks there, including a school
hostage crisis in which more than 300
people were killed. The resolution cre-
ates a Security Council working group
to assess possible measures against terror-
ists.
