also followed on the perpetrators

arrested those who sold and bought
the car',' he said.
Netanyahu has said that establish-
ing guarantees of security for Israel
— from rocket attacks and from ter-
rorism — was his priority going into
talks. Abbas has focused on ending
settlement and on final-status issues
such as borders, Jerusalem and refu-
gees.
For his part, Netanyahu in recent
days has recognized a Palestinian
claim to the land and suggested a will-
ingness to address final-status issues.
In reaction to the Aug. 31 attack
near Hebron, U.S. Rep. Gary Peters,
D-Bloomfield Township, said: "This
Israeli government should be corn-
mended for its strength and courage
in continuing with negotiations and
not letting these terrorists hijack the
agenda of those seeking peace and
security in the region."
Richard Nodel, president of the
Jewish Community Relations Council
of Metropolitan Detroit, said the
attack "certainly reinforces Israel's
vulnerability and essential need for
security with hostile neighbors and
terrorist groups on its borders."
He added, "As well as raising hopes
for a peaceful conclusion to the con-
flict, a revived peace process reduces
the chances for war in the region and
improves the economic climate for
both Israelis and Palestinians:'

Torah In Lenin's Birthplace
MOSCOW (JTA) -- A Torah was dedi-
cated in the birthplace of Communist
leader Vladimir Lenin. More than 500
people gathered on Aug. 31 to cele-
brate the completion of the first Torah
scroll for the city of Ulyanovsk, Russia,
according to Chabad.org .
A parade escorted the Torah scroll
from the community's theater to the
synagogue.
"Everyone remembers how not
long ago they had to hide their Jewish
identity,' said Rabbi Yossi Marazov,
a Chabad-Lubavitch emissary to the
Volga River port city. "Now, on the very
streets where communism [flourished],
they are proudly parading as Jewish
with the full support of the govern-
ment."

McAuliffe in Concord, N.H., ruled
Aug. 27 that prison inmates do not
have a First Amendment right to grow
a beard, rejecting Orthodox Jewish
inmate Albert Kuperman's claim.
In his ruling the judge said that the
maximum length of one-quarter inch
allowed by prison officials in Concord
to easily identify prisoners and that
allowing a longer length would require
more intimate searches.
Kuperman, 25, is serving a seven-
year sentence for child molesting and
is eligible for parole in January, the
Associated Press reported. He chal-
lenged the prison in court last year
after he was removed from a kosher
diet after being caught eating non-
kosher food.
Heeb Ceases Print
NEW YORK (JTA) -- The print edition
of Heeb has been suspended, its pub-
lisher announced on the magazine's
website.
Heeb, which became the unofficial
authority for hipster Jews, has suffered
from financial distress in the past
couple of years. The broader media
has been predicting its demise.
Prior to the announcement on
Heebmagazine.com of the shutdown,
publisher Joshua Neuman had insisted
repeatedly that Heeb was going to
maintain the print edition despite
slowdowns in production. Neuman,
also the editor-in-chief, said the web-
site would continue. The newly named
editor-in-chief is Erin Hershberg.
Shalit Freedom Campaign
WASHINGTON (JTA) -- An American
Jewish umbrella group has started a
national campaign in support of cap-
tured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
The Conference of Presidents of
Major American Jewish Organizations
on launched the website www.
giladgreetings.org to allow people
around the world to send 24th birth-
day and High Holidays greetings to
Shalit.
The soldier, 24, captured in a cross-
border raid in June 2006 and report-
edly being held by Hamas in Gaza, on
Saturday marked his fifth birthday in
captivity.
Greetings will go to the Inter-
national Committee of the Red Cross,
which has been denied the right to
visit Shalit.
The greetings website was designed
to support and encourage efforts by
the Red Cross to press Hamas to allow
its representatives to visit Shalit, in
compliance with international law.
