GLASSMOM SORB Welcome to the sine state of independence 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. 1-888-306-5188 glassmanautogroup.com Mon. & Thurs. 9-9 • Tues., Wed. & Fri. 9-6 • OPEN SATURDAYS 10-4 On Telegraph Road At The Tel-I2 Mall, Southfield, MI 48034 Plus tax. title, plate and destination.

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.

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.
