Beth Israel's Rabbi Isaac Nadoff begins a three-part series examining Maimonides' Thirteen Principles of Faith, the Ani Ma'amin, on Monday evenings, beginning Oct. 21, 8:30 p.m. The Thirteen Principles open with "I believe with all my heart in the coming of the Messiah, and even though he may tarry, I will wait every day for his arrival."
Monday classes, through Nov. 18, include Mishneh Torah in the morning from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Taught by Beth El's Rabbi Paul Susan Drozon Drozen, the class will examine sections of this important work by the 12th century philosopher and halakhist Moses Maimonides.

NEW YORK — Rabbi Alexander M. Schindler, president of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, this week assailed "Orthodox extremists who marred the beauty and sanctity" of the Bar Mitzvah in Cracow earlier this month of a Stamford (Conn.) youth, the first celebrated in the Polish city in 35 years. The Reform Jewish leader said he was expressing the sense of outrage of Reform Judaism over the "despicable", behavior of a New York Orthodox rabbi and travel agent who insisted that the Bar Mitzvah be moved to another synagogue and who, during the ceremony, tore the prayer shawl from an American woman rabbi who had trained the boy for his Bar Mitzvah and accompanied him to Cracow. Rabbi Schindler, former president of the American Federation of Polish Jews, also criticized the Orthodox move: ment for its "perversion of history to claim a monopoly on Polish Jewry." The Union of Orthodox Rabbis of North America and the Rabbinical Council of America had separately attacked the idea of a non-Orthodox Bar Mitzvah ceremony conducted by a woman as a "desecration" and "a betrayal of Jewish history." Noting that the Temple Synagogue, in which the ceremony took place, was dedicated as a Reform temple in 1844, Rabbi Schindler declared: "Polish Jewry was far from monistic. Among the Jews of Poland slaughtered by the Nazis were not only Orthodox Jews, but also Reform Jews and non-religious Jews, Zionists and non-Zionists and even anti-Zionists." He continued: "I suppose I ought to understand this kind of arrogance and intolerance. Orthodoxy has suffered a precipitous decline over the past generations, and intolerance is a sure sign of weakness." Rabbi Schindler concluded his statement by declaring of the Reform movement: "We ore Jews, and we will not be read out of the Jewish fold — not in Israel, not in Europe, nor anywhere on this earth."

to As the week drew to a close, major headlines blazed throughout the communications media. Much attention was directed to a multitude of Hollywood personalities who participated in a benefit to further research on AIDS. In another part of the nation, the music industry was gearing itself for a masnive concert to help financiallystrained farmers. Then, a new Btory broke. An American hostage was released from his captivity in Lebanon and he arrived home with a message. He relayed his kidnappers' demands. "Put pressure on Kuwait to release the 17 young uien they are holding or the remaining American hostages may be "executed.'.' . The "17 young men" —> if your memory nesd3 refreshing — are members of a radical "fundamentalist Shi'ite group. They were convicted of bombing the United States Embassy in Kuwait. Members of the same group are alleged to have hijacked a Kuwaiti airliner, then tortured and murdered two of the Americana on board. Members of the same grouping blew up a restaurant near Madrid frequented by United States servicemen. The . explosion killed 18 Spaniards and injured 15 Americans. So, you can call them nice young men who want to return home to their families and live happily ever after . . . if you want to. Most sensible Americans won't. At any rate, the release of the American hostage quickly rose to center stage in the mainstream of press reports, Obviously, center stage is what the terrorists want. They reached the climax of success with the TWA hijack and now they wanted to surpass this outstanding propaganda effort. They almost succeeded. But, then a natural disaster struck Mexico City and our friends to the south suffered staggering losses in a devastating earthquake. Quickly, and rightfully so, the attention of Americans was diverted from the demands of murderers to the needs of decent, law-abiding people. Naturally, whatever this great country can do to help Mexico should be done and there's no doubt that our government's assistance will bo supported in full by the citizenry. People who suffer from natural disasters deserve all the help we can muster. Monsters who bomb our buildings and kill our citizens deserve just punishment—that's all.

Parents and children of the Jewish Day School, gathered on a Sunday in August to meet and eat together. A barbecue, supplied and hosted by members of the board of directors of the school, allowed the parents of new students to share with those of the old students. It also provided an opportunity for the children to be introduced to their new schoolmates and teachers. . The barbecue, signaling the opening of a new school year, has become a tradition with the students and teachers of the day school.

"When I visited Gramercy Hill with my daughter, I immediately signed the papers and moved in. They don't promise anything they can't do. The personnel here bend over backwards to treat you right. They're some of the nicest people I've ever met. The residents are the same way; they're friendly and nice to be with. "I'm very satisfied with my onebedroom apartment, especially the storage. I have more closet space than clothes. I use the van to get around, and we even get to use it for picnics. "I wouldn't change a thing here. Everything is beyond my expectations."
