"It means that I am retiring on a good note said Mahankali, who attends Nathaniel Hawthorne Middle School. "I shall spend the summer, maybe the entire day, studying phys- ics:" Mahankali, who wants to become a physicist, had finished third in the two previous national bees. He was elimi- nated after misspelling words with German roots. "I thought that the German curse had turned into a German blessing:' he said, when asked what he thought when he heard the final word, a German-derived Yiddish word for a type of dumpling. Norwegian Daily Prints Cartoon Of Gory Circumcision, Child Abuse (JTA) - A leading Norwegian daily published a caricature depicting what some construed to be Jews tor- turing a baby during a circumcision. The caricature that appeared May 28 in the Dagbladet newspaper — the coun- try's third largest in terms of circulation — showed a bearded man wearing a black hat and black coat sticking a pitch- fork into the head of a blood-soaked baby while holding a book Another unseen person cuts off the baby's foot with a bolt cutter as a woman in a long-sleeved shirt and a hat shows police officers another blood-spattered book and tells them: "Abuse? No, this tradition is central to our belief' The police officers apolo- gize "for interrupting:' The Simon Wiesenthal Center's associate dean, Rabbi Abraham Copper, said the cartoon was "so virulently anti-Semitic it would make Hitler and Himmler weep tears of joy." Manfred Gerstenfeld, a scholar of anti-Semitism and former chairman of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, said the caricature "cannot be viewed separately from centuries of libels in Christian circles that try to establish a link between the ritual abuse of blood and the Jewish faith:' But in an email sent to MIFF, a Norwegian pro-Israel organiza- tion, Dagbladet cartoon artist Tomas Drefvelin said he did not mean to draw Jews in his caricature, which he meant "not as criticism of either a specific reli- gion or a nation [but] as a general criti- cism of religions:' Drefvelin wrote.
