Purim starts Wednesday This drawing by an anonymoas artist shows Pmim merrymakers celebrating the defeat of Haman. The vizier or dilef minister of Persia, Haman plotted to destroy all Jews on the 18th day of Adar but was thwarted by the intervention of Mordecai and his cousin, Queen Bather. As the villain in the story of Purim, Haman became a scorned ngure and when the Megillah (Scroll of Esther) is read in the synagofue, it is customary for children ta stamp'their feet and rattle noise-maliers at the mention of his name.

U.S. pro football may touch down In Israel By Andrew Silow Carroll NEW YORJ^ (JTA) - A team of Israeli sports promoters Is scrambling to stage the first-ever National Football I.«ague game to be played in Israel. According to Natan Amir, chairman of the"Committee for the Holy Land Football Bowl, the promoters completed "encouraging discussions" with NFL officials here last week about an exhibition game to be played in Ramat Can's 50,000-seat stadium prior to the 1989 season. Norman Braman, owner of the Philadelphia Eagles and one of four Jewish owners of NFL teams, brought the Holy Land Bowl idea to the attention of NFL officials, Amir said. League officials who met with the Israeli promoters Feb. 17 said, however, that other countries have expressed similar interest in staging an NFL game. The various proposals will be presented to club owners at a league meeting in midMarch, according to Joe Rhein, director of administration for the NFL. "To sa^that we're close to an agreement (with the Israelis) would be an overstatement," said Rhein.

Arabs and Peace I hope to be proven wrong, but I am not optiqustic about '"peace" between Israel and the surrounding might of the Arab world. I recall vividly a conversation 1 had many years ago with an American who had made Aliyah and who resided in the y/est Bank. r My question to him: What kind of relationship do you envision having with the Arab world? "I'm pes&imistic, we'll be fighting the Arabs for 100 years. I'm also optimistic, we'll be fighting the Arabs for 100 years," he said. Perhaps you believe my opening statement to be too negative? Well, let's look briefly at the record: * The Arabs rejected the Peel Plan—then wanted it when the U.N. voted for a partition. . * The Arabs rejecteid the Partition Plan repders—then wanted them when they lost the 1967 War. •The Arabs rejected the 1948 borders—then wanted them when they lost the 1967 War. At each crucial period, when the Arabs have been faced with a choice—a choice between the way of compromise leading to peace, and that of war and extremism, their solution is to act as if it is possible to choose war and destruction, but if that did not work, the previous alternative of compromise would still be open. * Alao, let us not forget that the Arabs rejected the Camp David accords for autonomy leading to independence and peace. * The Arabs rejected Secretary of Shultz's plan to a Washington summit with Israel, the Upited States, Russia and Egypt—the very same international forum that Jordan claims it is waiting for. * Also, Jordan ruled the West Bank from 1948-1967 and the West Bank residents did not then ask for a separate Palestinian state. Addendum: FLO radio on Dec 10,1987, gives some idea as to the reason for the constant rejection of the Arabs to peace: "0 heroic sons of the Gaza Strip, O proud sons of the West Bank, 0 heroic sons of the Galilee, O steadfast sons of the Negev ... the fires of revolution of these Zipnist invaders will not fade out, until our land—all of our land has been liberated from these usurping invaders." The broadcast also called for continuous struggle until the "banners of Palestine are hoisted on the Strip and on the courageous Bank and also on the minarets and churches of Jerusalem." It is plain to see that the Arab world wants the Jewish State of Israel to be the Arab State of Palestine and will settle for nothing less.

mm MMMjm j^ffael What the.Arab rioters really want
HAIFA — A group of Arab women and children went out for a peaceful walk one morning, when they were brutally attacked by a gang of pistol-toting Israeli soldiers. Some of the Arabs had limbs and ribs broken as.they ran screaming from the scene, helpless before the Jewish ruffians! A few were shot in the back as they fled. Word spread in the neighborhood and indignant groups of Arab teenagers gathered to defend their families. Some threw stones in the direction of the murderous assailants but were repulsed with tear gas and shots fired into the mass of bodies. A few who tripped and fell weye lined up in a courtyard and administered a thorough beating with clubs and rifle butts, until they were carried off on stretchers. If the above does not ring true, there are pictures to "prove" it. There is another scenario. A gang,of hundreds of Arab boys waylay a patrol of young Israeli soldiers, surround them and begin hurling rocks at them. The soldiers warn them off but the gang closes in threateningly. The soldiers fire warning shots in the air and then, as the hail of stones comes closer ana closer, lob tear gas at the crowd. Ten boys isolate a soldier, grab his gun, knock him down and begin to kick him. Other soldiers come to his rescue and in the ensuing battle an Arab is killed, nearby children suffer from tear gas, and several Umbs «(re broken. The pictures, taken only at the very end of the fray, give a distorted view of what had happened. Israel's greatest failure in the street riots in the administered territories has been its inability to tell the world its side of the story.. When a mob of uncontrolled teenagers runs amok down a main street, threatens Arab shopkeepers to close up their stores, builds barricades and bums tires in the middle of the street and pelts the law-enforcement agencies with a shower of stones—what are the policemen supposed to do? Invite them in for a cup of tea? Suggest they divert their energy into friendly competitive sports like tennis or cricket? Turn tail and run away, abandoniqg civil life to the rioters? To those countries which have been more severe in their criticism of Israel in recent weeks, do we not have the right to ask: How do you put down riots which get out of hand precisely because the mobs know that the police and soldiers have been told to avert bloodshed at all coats? How did the United States put down the Watts riots in 1965, when 35 were killed? Israel's soldiers are not storm troopers and not sadists. They are citizens from all walks of life—blue collar and white collar workers, farmers, students—serving their stint in their country's defense forces. Their job is to maintain order for the protection of all. To say that they are murderously inclined as they attack innocent people is a dastardly libel and every Jew overseas who has even for a moment been misled by the pictures taken at the wrong moment, detached from logical reaUty, should be aaluuned of his doubts and accusations.
Much has been made of an unfortunate statement by Defense Minister Rabin, who was quoted as urging that street violence be put down by "beatings." As a matter of fact, it is standard procedure for police departments in every country to use clubs iji overcoming violent rioters. Did any newspaper bother to report Israel's strict policy in this regard: "No beatings take place after Arab rioters have been apprehended and after a demonstration is over. There is no such thing as beating for beating')} sake, or beating fis a punishment." This despite propagahdistic claims to the contrary. It would appear that the Arabs in Gaza and elsewhere don't want us there. Very well, then why don't we get out? Let's put things in proper perspective. In 1947-48, when the Jews were assigned a little strip of the original Palestine to be a Jewish state, the Arab countries ganged up and tried to prevent the establishment of Israel. They didn't want us then, even in Tel Aviv. In the years that followed, and, right down to 1967, long before we occupied Judea, Samaria and Gaza, were there not constant murderous attacks on Israeli civiUans? The answer, I think, is told tersely and dramatically in a recent report in The Jerusalem Post. It's Arab affairs editor, Yehuda Litani, whose sympathies for the Arab cause are evident in almost everything he writes, interviewed one Abd ElNasser from Nusseirat refugee camp. The Arab said that the last"40 days in his camp "were very hard, especially because of the harsh reaction of your soldiers. They were merciless and cruel." And a colleague of his added: "We are ready to suffer—but we won't give up. This wave of unrest will continue." And what then, Litani asked him. "Do you want an independent Palestinian state in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank?" "No," he answered, "We want a Palestinian state over the whole of Palestine—not only in the territories but also in Haifa, Acre and Jaffa." There was nothing new in what he said. These views have . been voiced frequently. This is not a case of fighting Israeli oppression. It is a battle to extinguish Israel and to drive the Jews into the sea. Most IsraeUs understand this. Do the Jews abroad? Titere are still some pathetic Israelis who believe that by 3aeldin^ to ^ Arabs and appeasing them, we can have "peace m our time." to use a phrase last useid m 1938. In the Talpiot section of Jerusalem, Judy Segal's home was attacked by a gang of about 50 rock-throwing Arab youths. Windows were smashed. Judy told the press: "I'm leftist in my thinking, my sympathies are with Peace Now, but it's easier to be a leftist when people aren't throwing stones at you." 'There's a message in that for Jews abroad. Befor« you judge Israel by the distorted television and press reports, remember that it's easy to be critical when vident mobs are not throwing stones at you.

TRAVEL FAIRE
Just when I think I've seen it all, something or somebody comes up with a brand new mind-boggier. The latest to come to my attention apfteared in a magazine ad I just saw. Let me tell you about it and see if you agree. A new electronic wonder called a bread machine was ad"• I ^ O ^ -/ if vertised as the newest small appliance to decorate your kitchen counter. This machine, the ad said, only needed to have the ingredients put in, the timer turned on and presto—in four hours a baked loaf of bread comes out! Honestly, I'm serious! It advised that it could be programmed ahead to deliver a fresh loaf of bread for breakfast, too. Also that it could mix, knead, rise and do whatever else to the dough for croissants, bagels or any other fancy rolls, but those would have to be baked in a conventional oven. Now I ask you, does that seem like something out of science fiction story, or what? The Jewish Braille Institute of America has poblished It does leave room for speculation, however. For exam^ the world's first large-print edition of the Five Books pie, if such a machine can already be purchased, how long of Moses in Hebrew, complete with vowels and cantilbefore somebody invents another magic appliance that inlation marliB. The opening verses from Chapter 37 in Exgests ground meat, onions, an egg maybe and a little seaodus are printed above in exact size. Free copies for soning, flour and water, and in due course dispenses krepvisually disabled persons are available from JBI, 110 lach? Or how about one that takes the beets and all the East 30 Street, New York, NY 10016. Like their oomrest of the recipe and turns out borscht? panjon—the first large-print English edition, published The possibilities are endless. And not so far-fetched if by JBI in 1986, the five-volume sets are not available you want to be honest about it. I use ray food processor for purchase. A total of 2,000 sets have been produced to turn our chopped liver in one step (after the liver is in each edition. The volumes are printed on special pacooked) instead of hocking it in a wooden bowl and makper to reduce glare and are spiral bound for easy handing the mess as it used to be done. But 1 still do most things ling. in the old way. And I'd pay quite a bit for a contraption that would direct me to insert raw fish, onions, eggs, seasoning and matzo meal and them wait for it to deliver gefilte fish! It wouldn't have to be cooked. I'd be glad to do that part myself. The bread machine makes me wonder just exactly what the future holds for the housewife (or househusband or whoever cooks). Will there some day be machines that autotention of a reporter from matically do these things? Will the observant Jew need dupBy Tamar Levy GENEVA (JTA) - The the West German daily Die Ucates for meat and dairy cooking?

Different views on Soviet Jews presented at U.N. rights confab By Tamar Levy GENEVA (JTA) - Soviet officials seemed to be discussing a different topic than an Israeli diplomat and a noted historian this week when they appraised Soviet Jewish emigration and practice of Judaism. They were participating in the annual six-week conference of the United Nations Human Rights Conunisaion here. British Jewish historian Martin Gilbert, representing the World Union for Progressive Judaism, declared that the new Soviet visa regulations must not be used to hinder emigration, which Soviet Jewry activists claim is its effect. Gilbert, an expert on Soviet Jewry, explained that the visa regulations require
See Larry Kirke For New and Used Cars
would-be emigrants to have first-degree relatives petition from abroad before they can apply to exit. He recommended "a bilateral exit visa agreement, specifically envisaged in the new Soviet regulations, to be negotiated between the Soviet Union and, let us say, the United States, or—in view of current diplomatic contacts—between the Soviet Union and Israel." Gilbert apparently was referring to the presence in Israel siiice last June of a Soviet consular delegation and the recent agreement by the Soviet authorities to allow Israel to send a similar delegation to Moscow. As for religious freedom, Soviet Jews have never had it so good, according to the rabbi of Leningrad, Haim Levitis. Jews may study Hebrew openly, either at the univefaitiea or by answering advertisements placed by Hebrew teachers on the synagogue bulletin boards, said Levitis, who is an employee of the state. The Leningrad rabbi spoke at a press conference,
accompanied by the archbishop of Smolen^, Viazma Kirill, and Alexei Bichkov, general secretary of the Council' of Evangelical Christians-Baptists of the USSR. The three came as a delegation to demonstrate that the new policy of "glasnost" embraces the right to practice religion freely in what is officially an atheist state. Their press conference was moderated by Ambassador Vladimir Lomdko, head of the ^viet delegation to the human rights conference. But Pinchas Eliav, Israeli ambassador to the United Nations here, saw the situation differently. He criticized the Soviet Union for allowing only one yeshiva, for prohibiting Jewish Uf e in the city of Riga and for the lack of production of Jewish ritual objects. He urged that Soviet Jews be allowed contact with Israeli insUtutionB and individuals parallel to official contact between the Russian Orthodox church in tlie Soviet Unicn and th«tt in Israel

By Maurice Samuelson LONPON (JTA) - The identity of the mysterious blonde woman who lured former Israeli nuclear technician Mordechai Vanunu out of Britain in September 1986, to eventually face trial for espionage and treason in Jerusalem, was disclosed in this week's edition of the Sunday Times of [jondon. The Sunday Times is the newspaper to which Vanunu, once employed at Israel's nuclear facility in Dimona, gave facts and figures about Israel's alleged nuclear weapons capabilities. His nemesis, according to
Buonnaroti's
the newspaper, was Cheryl Bentov, 28, the Americanbom wife of a former major in Israeli military intelligence. The Sunday Times claimed that Bentov, working for Mossed, the Israeli secret service, introduced herself to the lonely, nervous Vanunu in London, as "Cindy." He traveled with her to Rome on Sept. Tend was kidnapped there by other Israeli agents and taken to Israel against his wiU. The Sunday Times account contradicts the Israel government's denial that it was involved in anything illegal on British soil. The trial of Vanunu, which began last year, is continuing in a Jerusalem court closed to the press and public.

by Glen Fineman Executive director, Jewish Family Service' "Come on, just try it." "No, I shouldn't," was the reply. "Well, just talte a little, then you'll feel better." "Oh, why not?..." "Just leave me alone ... you wouldn't understand, anywayl You don't know what it is like to be a teenager these days." Could this be you? Probably not. Or somebody you know, a friend perhaps? Possibly. Over 600,000 adolescents attempt suicide each year. Suicide is now the second leading cause of death among adolescents in the United States. Approximately 10,000 teenagers are killed in alcohol-related accidents each year. Alarming? Yes. But not unexplainable. Teens today face great pressures, including the easy availability of drugs and alcohol, the emphasis on sexuality and the rapidly changing expectations society has for its youth. This is exemplified in the media, including television, movies and magazines. These added pressures can complicate the already difficult period of adolescence. ' Developmentally speaking, the teenager strives for independence; yet still needs the guidance and nurturance of his/her parents and other significant people in his/her life. The activity seems to set up a type of inner struggle within the individual. Peer and societal pressures, then, cair intensify this struggle and cause much frustration. A poor self-image and low, self-
esteem often follow, which . can lead 3h individual to be more susceptible to these negative influences. How tiiis frustration is assessed and handled can j^'eatly impact potential growth and the decisionmaking process of the troubled individual throughout his/her life. Recognizing there is a problem is an important start. Talking to friends and parents is essential, and to a counselor is often helpful. Teenagers need to realize that they are not alone and their problems may be "normal. '' They also need to realize that there are other alternatives to successfully resolve their problemf. Open, empathetic communication is the key, along with respect and understanding. But this is only the beginning. On Tuesday evening. Mar. 15, at 7:30 p.m., Jewish Family Service is sponsoring a program entitled '•'Survival Tactics for Parents and TeenB: How to Handle This High Pressure World,'', presented by Dr. Sol Gordon, professor emeritus at Syracuse University and founder of the Family Institute for Research and Education at Syracuse. Tickets may be purchased through Lois Winjf at the Jewish Communill' Center or at Yoimkers. TIC fee is $2 for adults; teens will be admitted free. Seating is limited. More information can be obtained from Jewish Family Service, 330-'ii024.

U.N.to discuss PLO Mission V^-^ By Yitzhak Rabi UNIT45D NATIONS (JTA) - The General Assembly will convene here Monday to debate the U.S. decision to close the Palestine Liberation Organization's observer mission to the United Nations. The Arab states and the PLO requested a special meeting of the General Assembly to discuss the issue last Friday. According to diplomats, the Arabs want the General Assembly to ask the International Court of Justice in The Hague to rule on the decision for closure. According to a legislation signed by President Reagan on Dec. 22, the PLO mission must be closed by March 31. The U.S. Justice Department is considering a request to delay the closing and submit the issue for arbitration. But last week a spokesman said that Attorney General Edwin Meese was unlikely t^ decide for several weeks which action to take.
Peres speaks out By David Friedman WASHINGTON (JTA) Israel Foreign Minister Shimon Peres stressed Sunday that he accepts an international conference only if it opens'the way for negotiations between Israel and Arab countries, but not if it seelcs to negotiate a solution itself. "J wouldn't go for any conference that has the right to impose a solution or to replace us in the negotiations," Peres said on ABCTV's 'This Week With David Brinkley.' "The international conference should be like somebody that opens a door to a new era, but not sonkebpdy who replaces the resident," he said. Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who also appeared on the ABC program, said he had "jgrave doubts about an international conference" or about Soviet participation in such a conference "unless the Soviets are willing to ask of their Arab friends what wa are going to prtqpoae to our Israeli friends." Kissinger said such a conference would work only if the United States, the Soviet Union, and Israel agreed in advance on the broad outlines of the out-come of the conference. He said if this did not happen, the Soviets would support the radical Arabs and the United States woukl be in the poeition of imposing a oohitioo on Israel or endLog up in "iaolation."

In spite of the chilly February weather, several folks have visited the Home to enhance the pleasure of the residents. On Jan. 31, Jeff Taxman came out to perform for the residents. Debbie Bockelman brought a Brownie Troop out to visit; the residents really love to see youngsters in their midst. B'nai B'rith Women sponsored a special tea time on Feb. U. Maxine Noodell and Esther Wax presented a lovely program. On Feb. 14, the Recreation Positives, a group of young people 10-14-yearsold, entertained the residents. The Bryan Mother Singers also presented a musical treat and the Marilyn Arenson Group performed on Feb. 17. Linda Hall, a Millard North High School student, spent 10 hours volunteering at the Home to fulfill a Civics class requirement.

If youth suicide is on the increase, it is either because life today presents more stress than before or because we have given our young people fewer coping skills. After working with teenagers, I feel they do not have adequate coping skills. Adolescence itself means changing from childhood to adulthood. Reactions to change and stress vary. According to James Comer, M.D., professor of child • psychology at Yale University Child Center, we all know people who appear to be of similar capabilities and who experience comparable stressful events under sudden or chronic change or stress. One goes down while another comes up smiling. It is known that good social support from family, friends, teachers, youth workers, rabbis, etc., and a sense of some ability to control life events help to mini-. mize the damaging effects of stress. Pre-adolescents and adolescents can often use parental help—not nagging—in learning how to plan, organize and' spend their time weU. Parents should accept that a young adolescent will be concerned about as exam, fearful about their .social life and irritated by rules. They should be reasonable about these different levels of fear, anguish and concern of their child. Parents need to realize that love is also a way to communicate with children. Through mutual respect and love, as well as allowing them to develop responsibility and independence, the parent can help the child provide stability. Also, according to Don Dinkmeyer and Gary McKay in The Parents Handbook—STEP, telling your child you love himyher, especially when it is not anticipated, and giving non-verbal signs such as hugs, pats or a kiss, are extremely important to the development of the child. However, in my research I found the following to be most helpful in preparing an adolescent for the real world. "The survivors in life are those who quickly look within themselves first for a solution to their problems. They then ask advice botn others if they do not find the solution. These survivors have discovered the key to success—they tend to feel that they are responsible for their problems. Then they ask advice from others if they do not find the solution." Parents, teachers, youth workers, rabbis, etc. can help adolescents develop this attitude by bmg sympathetic and understanding. This can be done in a variety of ways. 1. Show understanding: Acknowledge your concern through statements as "I bet that really bothers you," or "If that hi^ipened to me, I would really feel..." Your child can be relieved you understand with statements such as this. 2. Ask "How are you going to solve that problem?" 3. Share some chokes; liaten without criticism but share your feelings. 4. Help him/her look at the consequences. 6. Give permission to solve or not solve the problem. 6. Support your child even if you cannot support his/her behavior. 7. Understand the difference between encouragemmt aUd praise. A young 'person contemplating suicide rarely makes a great secret of the fact. The most obvious, and one of the most common, of the warning signs is actually teiUng someone. Moet often, this fiiend is the person least well-prepsred to deal with the situation and to take decisive action to avert a tragedy. Youngjjeople, therefore, need to acquire tools with which one might save a life. You, as parents, or through religious school, youth group or confirmation class, can do the following tor these young people: 1. Teach them the critical warning ligna: E!xpresaed feelings of hopeleesness, increasing isolation and depreesioD, constant talking alwut death, giving away valued poesessions, talking about suicide. 2. Teach them bow to reepond: Do not laugh it off, do not ignore it, talk about it, listen, do not give false encouragement, tell soneoDe. 3. Streee their ohUgation to tell an adult: This is the hardaat point for teenagers, bound as they are by their loyalties and by the sanctity of promised secrecy. Yet, no teenager should have to bear the wedght of such a potent secret, let alone the guilt which wookl result in the event of adaath. Teach teenagers that, at worst, their Uand win be angry, but those who understand what true Uendahip sntaila will ultimately treaaura their friendship even more aa a result of their caringIt ia better to loae a friend than a life. 4.
