IflMl willing to discuss piiN^, but only after war, Shamir says By Chariea Hoffman JERUSALEM (JTA)Israel is willing to discuss peace initiatives for th0 poetwar ptriod, but not until the fighting in the Peraian Gulf has ended. Prime Miniatar Yitzhak Shamir indicated Sunday. In an addraea to the Board of Governors of the Jewiah Agency for laraal, which mat in Jeruaalem, the premier aaid, "We are ready—even anxious—to engage in paaoe talka at the appropriate time. But idw can tail what tha Mkldie Eaat and the Gulf regkn win kuk Uka after tiie warT" "What kind of Iraq will UierabarWhatwiUbetiM fata of Jordan? What wiU be Syria'a role in thia war? What will be the fats of Arab governments that are experiencing the trauma of war between Arab countriee?" he asked. Given these uncertaintiea, he aaid, "I submit that we ahould concentrate first on achieving the objectivea of the Gulf war. TlMn, hopefully, we wOl be able to embark on the road to negotationa and peace, in a better climate." Shamir atreased, however, that the international community should have teamed some laaaona from the war that could be applied to the Middle East peace process. Among them, he aaid, are that the

Palestine Liberation Organization, "Saddam Hussein's atauncheat aQy. has been totally diacredited as a factor for peaca.'-' Shamir aaactlid the "proliferation of non-conventional and conventional weapons in thia regkm." saying they are "a diaaatroua conseqaanoa of tba unacnqmlous peUdaa of many industrial stataa. "Wehofiathatthafaitar national coaMnoBlty will, at the enfiVmt opfortaoi-

ty, revise their policy regarding the supply of sophisticated military equipment to non-democratic regimea in the Mkldla East, such aa Iraq," he aaM. The prime miniatar daacribed Israel's domaatk prioritiea, whkh he saM Aould be addreased right •way. He spoke of "the reconstniction of the areas damaged by tbe Scad rateaOaa" and revival of the auflaring touiiat industry.

Sabbath CandMightlng for Friday, Fabruary 22, 5:48 p.m.

Paraaiiat Tetaavah, Paraabat ZaUMV Don't forget to rcmeadbcr, don't forget to forget, don't forget to remind It happened that the jacket I was wearing had a "Zakhor" pin on the lapeL A stpdent aaked about it. Ordinarily, in a Bible daaa I stkk to the subject at hand, and depart from it only in answer to a Intimate qoeatim. I considered thia queation legitimate and germane to the subject at hand, as weU as the world's current problem. Itokitheclaasaboutthe Holocauat. Zakhor: remember it. I wu nonplussed, despite frequent reminders, that young studente now know nearly nothing about the Holocaust. It is difficult for them to believe the dedkated seriousneaa with which the Naais pursued the plan to murder all the Jews of the world. NOT can they fully comprehend the efficiency and the ingenuity the Nazis brought to their task. It is both because of this and because of the failure to appreciate the geographical bozing-in of Israd, that atudente and nation cannot understand Israel's obsession with security. They thhik Israel is paranoid. In truth it is only that Israel reads history with some memmy, the history both of Israel the modem nation and the long history of Israel the Even our annual religious cycle reminds us. Thus this Sabbath we are bidden to remember Amalek's cowardly attack on the Israelites newly escaped from Egypt. Zakhorl Remember—and blot out Amalek from history. Paradoxically, of course, remembering Amalek each year guarantees that ito name will navar be blotted outi And we do the aame, of course, for Haman.

interfaith prayer

There is, incidentally, one Biblical command ke tha farmer that he can observe only by rsnember^ ing to forgetl He must intentionally-tmintentionally leave some grain, aa he harvaatobia field, ao that the poor may COBM and gather it. I do not know what the stetuB will be in Gulf area when this is printed. But Israel cannot forget, and must remembw, that except for Egypt, all—that means all—of the Arab nations in the Middle Eaat are formally pressing for blotting Israel out of the map. lUs includes Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Syria, and others of the coalition, and Iraq and the nonnation PLQ and Jordan and Muslim Iran as well. One columnist put it, as he contemplated the demand that Israel make room for an independent Palestine on the West Bank, that the war hasn't increased Israd's enthusiasm for national suidde. I think that there has been a set-back for the Shalom Achahav (Peace Now) movement For the Palestinians in Jordan and and thoae on the West Bank and in Gaza have been exdtad stqiportera of Scuddam (sic) Hussein. But iriiat may be the coup de grace for the movement ia the aimOar aupport for Iraq by the Araba who are within larad and are Israeli dtiaena. It cannot be too often pointed out that an independent Palestine could have been in existence aince 1947, simply by accq>ting the U.N. invitetion, and again in 1967 by accepting Israel's invitetion after the Six Day war. Araba chooee not to remember. We must remember—and conatantly remind the rest of the world.

An interfaith prayer aasembly will take place at the Firat Methodiat Church, 7020 Casa street, on Feb. 24,3 p.m. Prayers for peace will IM offved by Christians, Jews and Mualims.

Softball contest TEL AVrV (JTA)-U.S. soldiers (^)erating Patriot anti-missile batteries "somewhere in Israel" whipped Kibbutz Gezer, 11-4, in a spirited softball game Monday. It was the soldiers' day off, and they were obviously pleased by the diver sion. Until now, their qxxts were limited to makeshift basketball matches at their base.

On Feb. 3, members of AZAIlandChaimWeizmann vohintaered for the Omaha Habitat for Humanity organisation. Members of AZA Corabett Council worited on renovating a house near 30th and Fort. Members painted walla and ahdvas, sawed, sanded, chiseled, hammered, and alao plastered walls as part of this community service project. A carpenter who was also volunteering his time showed everyone what to do. He pointed out the many areas which needed work and assisted those who needed help.

Queen Esther foOfl his plsn and eaves her peoplel Haman hangsl And we, in eternal gratitude for bebig qMured annihilation, reaid and hear the Meggillah. We gtind our gragers, noah some hamantanchen, give gifts to our friends, charity to the poor, wear costumea, cavort in Purim {days, diink a "t^oMk vine" and, in general, have fua Nothing profound. Nothing complicated. Nothing about Purim is serioos, right? Wmogl Or, at least, let's think matters through again, please. You see, while doing research for this article (ever on the kwkout for nnnising Midnwhim or odd Talmudic tidbits) I stumbled into a seemingjly bottomless pit of learned papen with titlee ranging from "The Purim Panel in Dura hi the li^t of Parthian and Sassian Art" to "A Coptic Palintpwwt m the British Museum C<»itaining Esther m Sahklk Dialsct" (Apparently the Arabian Nights-like story that we have inaoceotly loved since cbfldhood has kept some schdars in a dither for generatians.) Esther, it appeara, has been mooographed, interpreted and professorily-perused up to her teethwhite, strai^t and cavity-free, as they undoubtedly were. Which raisee, for me, a question. In the f ace of all that scholarsh^, am I being reqxmsiUe enough to you—the reader—if I merely offer up Uttie Purim legends and unsophisticatod "Bobbeh mieaehs?" (Like the one tliat claims the gallows built by Haman was made of a cedar beam from the remains <rf Noah's Ariel Who knows? Perhaps I should encourage you to e-x-p-a-n-d your minds and read (at the very least) "Notee on the Persian Words in the Book of Esther aa Difiereatiated from Avestian, Zoroastrian and Achoemenian Forms." Is it okay, I ask oyself, to spend the day ci Purim in kHe goadp? Rumors do abound, to be Burel Some aay Esther was 76 years old when she snagged the heart of the Idngl And then there's the juk^ theory that Mor deeai waa not really Bather's uiKle bat rather (tak-takhoote) her husbandl (Cknveniently, there's another Isgend wherein God sends down a female spirit who hxiked just like Esther to take her place with Ahashuerus, so Esther's virtue was never, ever realty cxn^anmised...) I kivB those storisa, bat msybe we ahouU turn our hades oo such frivolous topics and devote our attention to "Syntax Critidsm of the LXX Additions to the Book of Esther" or "The Lachish Coemetir Burner and Esther 2:12." What do yon thfaik? We could talk, blithely, about Esther's other name— Hadasesh. Myrtle. So was she csUed, says the MMrash. becanse her good deeda aprerJ. just as the sweat b*grance of mytHe fills the air where it grows. But myrtle, though it smells sweet, haa a hitter taste, snd likewisB was Esther sweet and pleasant to the Jewiah people and Utter to Haman. Another nke story, but, admittedly, not deep. Mqrbe you'd gate more by rsadfaig "Eather as Novel with Different Levels of Meaning," "Sex Roles and the Relation of Power and Gmder in Biblical Narrativea" or (if you're reaQy oo a roll) "Esther und Puiim im Lichte Geshichte." You see my dilemms, On the one hand we can coQoentrate on Purim legends snd folktales, dear and easy to understand. (He who

dreams of the Book of Esther will have ndrade performed for hhn. Ahashuerus ruled 127 I^ovinoea because Sarah, from whom Esther u deeoeeided, lived 127 pious, ahileas yeara, stc.) Or, on ths other himd, we csn concentrate on the aforementioned scholarly works, looking for the hidden meening hi the text Looldng behind the mask for the secrets in the Purim characters. Or we can deal with both. The obvious and the concealed. Whkh ia, when you think about it, what the book of Esther symboBiee. You decide what'a best for you. (I vote for the fairytales and leaving the wei^ty subjects to the scholars...) But this year, Purim has a serious dimension and a spedal irony that none of us can igoan. Here we are, faced with anotlier drama in the Persian Gulf. And, diched thou^ it may be, another Hainan out to get us. * • « After the Exodus, when the Jews settled in the Land of Israel, God commanded them to destroy the evil Amalek. ("You must bkit out the memory of Amalek" is read every year on the Shabbat before Purim.) King Saul was given the mission of wqung out not only Amdek, but all his people and hu livestock, too. But Saul couldn't see biB way clear to deetroy an entire nation, induding the anhnals. He did fight Amalek and he did wm, but one of Amalek's rotten relatives—King Agog-managed to eec^M. Generations later, a deecendent of Agog was bom. His nsme was Haman. Because of whst one author called "Saul's miqilaced mercy," the descendento of Amalek, Agog and Haman are still around. Perhaps ri^^ now a schdiar is writing a thesis shoot their fsmily tree. Undoubtedly, on one of the branches he will find Saddam Hussein.

Mr. Levinson is the retired owner and chef of Toledo's Eniee Esaen Restaurant, a popular Toledo eating spot serving kosher-style meals for over 45 years.

©Bdl (^aB©g@ g©^©^) By Henry Stcn Next meeting Feb. 26. Guest speaker will be Dr. Richard Frwad. At the Feb. 12 Eariybirds, the modvator waa Norm Wohlner, whose subject was Israel. He quoted from a past issue of the Jemaalam Poet having to do with Israel maintabiing a presence in the Wast Bulk (Judea and Samaria), and the Gasa Strip.

Stuart Hart ChildrBn are particulaiiy welcome at B'Nai Israel and its activities, at 618 Mynstar St, according to Linda Sadofsky, «H;hairman of the seder. The Passover service begins at 6 p,m. sharp on March 29. The cost of the meal i8412 for adults and $6 for children, m $36 per family.

Following thehmcheon and Doc. Margolin's rendition of the Benschen, we stood in memorism of our brothers, Morrie Sax and Dave Relss. Norm Wohlner reported that Jack Epstein is in sickbay and treasurer Her ry Paakowitz qpoke cm dues outstanding. We were reminded to think about submitting namee for a new vice presklent in the fothcoming election, as vice preeident Irv Non

will advance to the presidency. So let's do some can^Mdgning and baUoting. Irv presented guest maker Julia Harper of HUD, and her colleague. Julia gave us a rundown on the forthcoming resettlement of Housing Authority tenants into private homee. She told us that ths candidates chosen are carefully screened and their enqdoyment records are checked. Rental agreenunts represent one third of their incomes, they must maintain neat grounds and care for the interior. Tenants win be carefully mcmitored iot behavior and also go through a probationary period. This should allay the public's fears regarding poeaible nei^borhood deterioration.
