Leonard Jeffries Jr., chairman of the Afiican-American Studies department at CUNY's City CoOage, accused Jews of squelchhig the progrees of bUcks in the United States.

And their financial partners, the Mafia, put together a flnaadal system of destruction of black people," Jeffries said.

er bombe that in acatteted over a wide area, resultmg in a dramatkally expanded range. Another feature of the cluster bomb is that when deployed, some of its smaller bombs don't necessarily explode. As a result, "yttle kids pic^ them up and blow their arms off," the lobbyist explained. "It's kind of sn unpleasant reaction." Of greater concern to pro-Ianel activists here than the current package is a future proposed side worth more than tlO billion. That package was initially eiqMCted to be proposed this fall, but proIsrad lobbyists now expect it to be delayed until early 1992. The delay is due to the fact that the threat to Saudi Arabia from Iraq has declined.
Bonlor's election By David Friedman WASHINGTON (JTA) —R^. David Bonior (DMich.), elected by Democrats last week to become the party's new whip in the House of Representatives, is generally regarded as a critic of Israel. But pro-Israel lobbyists doubt his election to the party's third-ranldng leadtfship post in the House will have much inqwct on the level of congressional support for Israel. They stress that Israel was not an issue when Bonoir defeated Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) by a 160-109 vote hi the Democratic Caucus.

Intifada weapons By cm Sedan
JERUSALEM (JTA)Hard-core activists in the administered territories are resorting to deadlier weapons. Stones and home-made gasoline bombs are being replaced by firearms snd high explosives. The latest escalation occurred when an explosive charge blasted a home in the Jewish settlement of Otnid, in the southern Hebron hills. While no one was hint in the attack—there was no one home at the time—it was the first penetration of a settlement by intifada activista bent on attacking its residents. Last week, a barrage of eight gasoline bombs simultaneously hit the Gaza pdice station. By sheer chance, no one was hurt. The use of firearms is also proliferating in the Gaza Strip. Defnue Minister Moehe Arena instructed Israel Defense Force Chief of Staff Ehud Barak to devise new tactics to cope with the steep rise in the use of firearms.

With hundreds of thousands of refugees streaming into Israel, the cost of providing all theee people with jobs, housing, education, medical care, and ba^ infras^vcture is estimated at <60 billion. American Jews through Operatitm Exodus have raised milUcos and have guaranteed many more millitms in loans through the Council of Jewish Federations, but millions are not billions. Consequently, for Israel to fulfill her obligation toward resettlement, she must borrow long-term mon^ to pay the costs. That is why Israel is coming to the United States and is aaldng our country to guarantee the money she plans to borrow from American banks. With the backing of the U.S. government as guar^ antor, commercial banks would lend Israel the bilUons she needs for Aliyah absorptitn and the terms would permit a payback over 20-30 years rather than in 6-7 years for an uognaranteed loan. Tbia loan guarantee program ia vital It is the enterpiece of the entbe issue of abooiption of Jews emigrating to i^reedom, and land's request is of paramount impo^ tanoe. That's why letters are needed. Although individual members of Congress have indicated aupport for the fean guarantee program, they need the aasuraaoe that the American people are behind the efltort. Members of Congress need the letters by the thouaanda to juatify their opinion that the American people stqMwrt the program. If you wodd prafer the easiar way, you now can caU l-aOO-92-ALIYA and for 17.25 your message will be sent to your Rqiresentative and both your Senators.

To the Editor I found the recent article entitled "The Looming Intermarriage Criaia" printed in the Aug. 9 iaaue of the Jewiab Pkaaa veo'offanaive. Having converted to Judaiam over 16 years ago, I don't thtaik <rf myaelf aa a product of intermarriage, but aa a Jew. How diaappointing it ia to read that there may be a fellow Jew out there actually thinking that the pnMema that face our Jewish Communitiea are due to the "intermarriage time bomb." In our community in Omaha, we have many axamplea of converte to Judaism that giv« extenai>dy of thamaeivaa in actkna, deeda, and time to Jewiah organisationa; the Jewiah Community Crater, and varioua tamplaa. Thaao people are to be applauded, not called names, for th^ ara the people that are helping face the challengea of the American Jewiah Community. > In reference to the marriagee of couplaa where ime haa not converted, ahould we Jews b« throwiag atonea at someone who doaa not chooae to embrace Juddam, doean't the Torah teach ua "And you ahall love your ndgfabw as youradf" (Lev. 19:84).

For some 600 to 1,000 expected students, ages 6 to 16, sttending Jewish day school in Moscow also spells the end of the Communist nation's mandatory six-day school week snd the freedom to observe Saturday as the Sabbath. Although the majority of Jewish students will remain in state schools, which are in session six daya a week, those who refose to attend school on Shabbat now have a full opportunity to attend a Jewish religious school "As of now, whoever wants to go to Jewish school can go," Goldschmidt said during a visit last week to the World Jewish Congress. Three bttildhigs that will house Jewish schools have been given to the Jewish community for that pur poae, althoufi^ they are not former prt^Mrties of Jewish groups, be said. One <rf the schools will be overseen by the Isradi Miniatry of Education, together with a local Soviet Jewish cultural group called Tehiya, not to be confused with the Israeli political party.

Paraahat Shofetim Idolatry and rdigioaa tolerance The reader is struck by the persistoit tone of revulsim our text displays toward idolatry. It is not enon^ to forbid kkdatiy to faithful Isrselitee. Only a few verses after the famoua "Justice, justice shall you pursue," the text devotes several versee to a vigmoos condemnation of idolatry. But more: a man or woman found guilty of idolatiy, found gmlty, that is, by the testimony of two or three witnesses, was to-be executed! Our text here refers to hsatfaen colts that worah^pped the sun or moon or other heavenly bodies as "sbominations." There is little of rsUgkios toleration herel Only a bit later (Ch^i. 18) our Torah legislate forbids heathen culta that inchilge in aoothsaying or sorcery or "divining" in various way& Tbe inqiresskn seems to be that bdiefs and practices of this Idnd were acc^table for heathen nationa, but were to be proscribed completely for Israel The rati<male for all of this was that these heathen cults were associated with immorality. In the immediately rdevant passage the immorality i> the practice of "consigning" a son or dau^ter to the fire. (We cannot be sure if this was simply a ritual of passing a child between two rows of fire, or (rf actually burning the chiU to death as a sacrifice.) Many other passages, including denunciations in the profriietic literature, identify the immorality associated wi^ idolatry to be sexual excesses, sexual rites per formed in the heathen sanctuaries as part of the rituall It becomes dear from all of this, and from the devotion of consideraUe attention to tbie subject of idolatry even in post-Biblicsl, Talmudic literature, that in Biblical timss and even later our ancient ancestors had a hard time ridding themselves of the natural toulency of humankind to worship the mysterious forces of Nature and to indulge in various superstitions that come natural^ to Uie unsophisticated human mind. Judaism, to put it plainly, requirse sophistication. We certahily do not understand sll the forcea of Nature nw the woikingof our universe. We sre still overwhelmed by the universe we livwia But we are reminded, cmutantly reminded, that we are not to look upoi Nature as divine, nor to worship any part td Nature as a "god."

By Hugh Orgri TEL AVIV (JTA)Israel's High Court of Justice haa ^ven the C3iief RabUnate three weeka to explain why it will not issue a kashrat certification to an American winery unless rabbia from Israel supervise its wine production. The court was responding to a petition by U.S.baaed Rogral Winea, which producea Ked»y> and Manischswitc wines in the United SUtes. R^jral, which also represents several Isradi wine producers in the United States, says it had accepted the rabbinical demand that it allow Isradi rabbis to oversee production of its Kedem and Jaquob de Herzog lalwls, which are exported to Israel But two years ago, the Chief Rabbinate annouooed it couki no knger aeod representatives to the United States and could therefore no longer issue kashrut certification. Royal toM the court that the wines carry the O.U. label of the Union of Orthodox Congregations of AmeiiQB, and ita wines are even accepted by such pious Jews as the Satmar Hasidim. Ths Chief Rabbinate has declined to discuss the issue, because the case is before (he court. But a ntokeaman p<^ted out that the rabbinate is not legally obliged to grant a kashrat certification to any firm or product.

By Stewart Ahi TheNewYoik JewlahWeek Holy cowl The New Yorii: Yankees have been blacklisted by the Arab League. The Yankeee are Na 288 on a partial list of about 300 American ficma on the Arab League's boycott list Nobody knows why, least of all Arabs in the United States. The list was obtained by the American larad Public A^ira Committee, according to WaUam Rapfbgel, eacecutive director of the Unk» of Qrtitodoz Jewish Cmgregations of America's Institute for Public Affaire. "It was a big surprise when we saw it," sakl R^ fogd. "It's really mindbonling." Officials of AIPAC declined to comment on the list. In the past, the Arab League boycott has been aimad at companies that are viewed by the Arabs as pro-Israel or that do business with Israel "What couki the Yankeee possibly have done to offend the Araba, excq>t not hitting?" asked Will Maakiw, editor of the Boycott Report, which keeps track of Arab boycott acUvitiae for ihe American Jewish Congress. He added that if batting is the criteria, "maybe the MeU dtouhi dao be on the list." "Does this mean Arab fana are not going to oome toourgsmtar askad Yankees' attorney Davkl Sus-
Former Yankee first baseman and designated hitter Ron Bkmteg was aqoaQy astoniahad 1^ tha news. "ToboycoUtheYanees because of Jewish employeee I think is the craziest thing in the world," he said. "1*0 bet than are juat aa many Jewish empbyoea at the Blets... tUnk it's just fooUsh. to be honest with you." Mel Allen, known as the "VokM <A the Yankees," said it "sounds rUieukms to me... I don't know what the Arabs have to gain." Asked why he believes the Yankeee were sinfM out from other sports teams, Allen said: "They are part of the national pastime and, in the overall, they are still thought of aa perhaps the moot popular sports team in the country." He sdded that although many Yankee executives are Jewish, the team's I»indpal owner, Gecurge Steinbrenner, ia not. Ota the other hand, he sakl the CUcago White Sox's two principal owners are Jewiah. "But to include the Yankees is the most hysterical thing of all That only shows the boycott is based on intolerance and ignnance of the Jews. They may have included the Yankees in tite mistaken belief that Steinbrenner ia Jewish. They dkin't inchide the White Sox becauae th«y dkin't know (the team] is owned by Jaws. That'a a perfect example of what the boycott ia all about"
"The only reason I can think of for the Yankeee to be boycotted is because a very high percentage of Yankee management is Jewish," he said. "Our chief executive officer ia Leonard Kleinman, Arthur Richman is the senior vice preeident and I'm the attoniqr."

One of the mayors, David BouaUDa of the Negev town of S'derot, likened Deri to Capt Alfred Drqrfns, a Fraoch army officer (rf Jewiah origin falsely accused ci treason by antiSemitk coBspiratora in the late 19th century. "It is not a far-fetched oompariMin, only this is happening in the Jewish
state," Booskina said. He lefeiied to the yeai^ long police investigation of Deri, widely reported by the Israeli news media. The 31-year-<dd minister, the youngest Cabinet member, is suqwcted of financial improprieties but has yet to be formally charged. The case made new headlines last week when State Comptroller Miriam Ben-Porat, in her ktest report, eacooriated the Interior Ministry for handing out huge sums of government moo^ to religious institutions affiliated with Deri's Orthodox Shas party.

Catholics to visit By Deim Nosabasm Cohen NEW YORK (JTA)Tens of thousands of Catholic teenagers are eiqMcted to visit the Auschwitz and Birkenau death camps this month for tours and seminars on the Holocaust The program in which they will participate will include material on the uniqiidy Jewish character of the event. Most of the more than 60,000 youth frcHn France, Italy, S^Mun, Germany, the Soviet Union and Poland mil stay for only a few hours during their visits between Aug. 6-17. But many will stay overnight, in the recent^ completeid adminiatration buikiing of the new Carmelite convent a short distance awqr from the Auschwitz camp border, and in a tent dty beiiy built speciaHy to wcrommndate the visitors on the grounds of the new convent. The largest number of young pe(^ will be arrivuig for an ovemi^t stay on Aug. 16, after apnding several days inCzestochowa, some 130 miles southwest of Warsaw, where they will be celebrating the sixth World Youth Day. More than a million young Catholics are expected to take part in the gathering at CMStocbowa. The highlight will be a rally with Pope John Paul II, who is making the stop on his Aug.13-20 trip to Poland and Hungary, dui^ uig which he will alao meet with Jewish leaders.

Shilansky, of Likud, said in a television interview that he would "favorably consider a serious approach" if one were made to him. The Knesset elects the president by secret ballot. Shilansky observed goodhumoredly that so far, his candidacy has been discussed mainly in the fruit and vegetable markets. His public confirmation that he would accept the office if it were offered him was seen as irregular but engagingly honest.

By GO Sedan JERUSALEM (JTA)The unexpectedly high rate of emigration from the Soviet Union last month has aliyah officials elated. But economists are alarmed by fast-rising unenqiloyment among the newcomers. The good news is that aliyah from the Soviet Union is on the upswing, despite predictions of a falUn^off after new Soviet paaqxxrt regulations took effoct July 1. Under the new rules, anyone can leave the Soviet Union; but thoee leaving must now have pass* ports. The new demand was expected to bog down the ineoqperienced Soviet bureaucracy, ddaying emigration f«»• months, ^ not years. But immigrant arrivals readied a rate of 360 a day during the past week, Simcha Dii^tz, chairman of the Jewish Agency and Wcn-ld Zionist Organization Executives, reported to the WZO Executive here Monday. About 500 Soviet Jews arrived hare over the weekend and another 600 landed Monday, raisfaig the total to more than 10,000 in July. In contrast to Dinitz's rosy picture, the latest figures published by Bank Leumi economists Monday showed a 42 percent unempko^ent rate among new immigrants. Absorption Minister Yitzhak Peretz predicted there will be 160,000 jobless Jews in the country by the end of the year.

Emfgratibn drops By JoCwroU
When the middle of August begins to roO around, teenagers begin to deal with the fact that the opening of school can't be far behind. A new school year always brings a number of uncertainties, even if you have all your classes lined up and know who some of your classmates will be. There's coe group of you who probably facee more sui^ prises than the rest. You'll have more new experiences ahead of you and next year at this time youll be a dinar ent person. You're the group of students who are leaving home and headed off to college for the first tbne. The freshmen! Susan Helfeld will leave Aug. 20 for Drake University. She learned she was accepted to Drake in March. It will VB the first time she's been away from home for m(H« than a week. She just learned last week that her roommate is from Minnesota. Susan is the last of the children in her family to go to college, so she thinks she's pretty well prepared as far as stuff to take. "My mom pretty well knows what I need. She got other kids ready for school." Susan wQl miss Omaha. "I'm leaving my best friend. She's still in hi^ school" As soon as Susan's mother leaves campus, Susan knows what she's going to do. "I'm going to rearrange the stuff in the drawers the way I want it. And then I'm going out and meet people." Scott Saylan leaves Aug. 24 for Indiana University in Btoontington. He hasn't started packing yet, but has beoi buying clothes. He'U probably take a small T.V. with hiin, but plans to rent a refrigerator for his dorm room. Oh yee, I almost forgot. He'U take his answering machine with him. I forget it's an essential now. As I remember my starting days at Kansas University the phone was down at the end of the hall. But back to Scott. The oldest of four, he says he'll miss his family the most. "I have a little sister who's just five. She's growing up so fast. I hate to miss out on that." But Scott plans to be home at Thanksgiving for his first visit. Scott chose Indiana because he wanted to atay in the Midwest, but still get away frt>m home. It was also the size school he wanted and it has a good School of Business. There are so many new options available to everyone who chooses to leave home for more education. You're on your own, more or less, for the first time. There's nobody to say, "You've eaten enough potato chips," or "You've been out three nights in a row. Don't you think it's time you stayed home for a change?" But there are elao so many opportunities to challenge you. So many people your age in one place seeking more knowledge. Take advantage of every minute of it.

TEL AVIV(JTA)-A total of 10.826 Soviet Jews anrivad in Israel in July, barely half the number who arrived the month before. But despite the low monthly total, the second worst this calendar year, Israeli offidals ware encouraged, a«ying more Soviet Jews had arrived than they had predicted. An additional 2,142 Soviet Jews immigrated to the United States as refugees in July, according to figures provided by the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society in New York. That is the lowest monthly figure since February and brings total Soviet Jewish immigration to the United States for the first 10 months of the fiscal year to 18,949. Ckmgress has authorized funding for up to 40,000 Soviet Jewish refugees this fiscal year, but with only two months left.
much of those ftmds will not be used. Deqdte the krwer number of Soviet Jews who arrived in Israel last month, 1991 is a banner year for aliyah. A total 110,600 homigranta arrived here during the first shi months of the year, nearly douUe the number that arrived in the first half of 1990.

B«rt Lewis You want to hear a great story? Not jiut any old story, but a realty 8t«>t one. And a true story, top. It's about a friend of mine—wdl, not ao much about the friend, but about aomething ahe did. Let me tell you. Ffrst of all, I probably shodd mentioa this triBod is a great aaver. You know, she savea atuif which has grsat sentimeotal value; ahe also aavea stuff important to the smooth operatkn of her houaehoU, like where to get this fixed or that reidaced; she aavee boxea which could be useful if she ever needed them. She's a realty good saver. A recent photo of her adorable baby grandchild pictures the little girl wesring a darling drsM that her own mother wme as a child. My friend had saved it and now had the pleasure of Imowing what a terrific idea that waal It aeems reaaonable to believe my friend comes frxmi a long line of aavera—well, anyway at least one generation bade. Her late mother, of bleeaed memory, was also a saver. When she passed away several years ago, her daughteHs) foimd every birthday card she ever received, in addition to many otho' treasures. And my friend fountl, among those saved treasures, some snapshot negatives. They were very dark and very old. In fact, they were foimd inside an envelope with a 1927 date on the outside. It was the envelope the original photos had been rettimed in when they were developed. Slie (my friend the saver) took the envelope and tucked it away, probably like her mother had. But recently, she came across this 1927 packet and decided to investigate—to see if those negatives might be printed into snapshots. I won't drag this out any longer. 111 just tdl you those negatives were indeed, printable, and they were developed. It turned out to be a collection of snaps taken on ha parents' honeymoon. Also included were some of her mother with a bahy (my friend) and some priceless shots of hw father, who died many years ago. Some were pictures she had never seen and couldn't replace for any amount of money. They covered a span of some years, starting with the honeymoon, then pkking up some four yeara later with the ahots of the baby, and stfll later with other family membera. To look at them without blurred vision (the kind of blur you get when teara form) waa difficult. 'To comment on them meant firat swallowing hard then behig able to apeak. I can't remember when any piece of memorabilia affected me so. It's probably safe to assume that if those snaps had been around for a long time, they wouldn't strike quite the same chords. But they weren't. They were beautiful, pricelees treasures which came into my friend's life aa a surpriae. I think it'a alao safe to aay she wouldn't part with them fot anything in this entire universe. It's unlikely she will ever again find anything that will mean more to her. I'm really glad her mom was such a good saver. Tm also g^ad my friend ahared her treasure with me. Doesn't a sto^ like that warm your heart? Even if you aren't a aentimeotal person, this is dne you won't forget for awhile. I know I won't.

WASHINGTON (JTA) —A Senate snbcammittas has voted to bar the use of U.S. d^ilomaticor tourist pasqMrts that ars stanqwd with the words "Israel only." U.S. consular offidala currently issue such passports to dtiiens wishing to travel to both IsiMt and Arab oountriea, iddch routinely forbid the entry of thoee canying passports with Israeli viaa stance. But some membera of Congress feel the practice
of issuing the "Israel only" paaaporta rrinioieas the Arab nattona'political ostracism of Israel. Stale Department officials said thsy would be concemsd with ugr new law that faaecaveBieooes tourists to Israd by having their current "lanwl only" passports invalidated. If an amendment sponsored l^ Sea. Ftank Lautenberg (D-NJ.) became law, such passports waaU become nuD after a 90<lay grace period.

ByPifcMNiiiil Ctkm NEW YORK (JTA)AnMfkan Jewiah l—dera hava waloomed land's oaoditknal accapUnoe <rf an iaviUtim to a Middle E!aat paaoB ootaliBnDoeh and an aagr to inaure that the conceaateiie laraelhaa already made are not ovei^ kxilnd as negotiatkna on the oonqwaitioa of the Briaathiiandetogattoiooattone. Israel remaina firm on its refusal to negotiate with members of the Palestine Liberatian Organization or Palestinians from East Jousakot. And Palestinians continue to intdst that Israel have no voice in picking their represeotatives. niere has been no Palestinian response, so far, to the Israeli acc^tance. "latmA is the only party to the talks that is putting ito life and security on the line," said Malcolm Hoenlein, executive director of the Conference of Presidento of Major American Jewiah Organisations. "Palestinian repraaeotatloo ia a vital iaaoe for Israel, md the prime ministor wants to be sure agreement with the United Statea atin eiistB. and that pravkma aaanranoes still obtaiB. "Baker's very positive naponses, his comments that Israel has been 'eztraordtearily pradoctiv«.' that braal was not foot dragging or being obstnictiaalst, are hel|^ in aetting the record straight," Hoenlein added. Alfred Hoaes and David Harria, president and executive vice preaident, leqjMCtively, of the American Jewish Conunittee, urged strong JJiat land's refusal to negotiate with Paleetinians frmn
East Jeniaalem, ootaide the^Wset Bank or Oau^ and FLO members, "be fully siipteciated." Tlk^ explained, in a joint statement, tw if a Paleatinian from East Jerusalem were to be included it "could put into qoeatian Israel's eteraal sovenignty over united. Jenisalam." Diaspora Palestinians should be exduded "since Israel is dealing only with Palestinians in the territo ries, not with thoee whoee clsims are to Israel proper." P.L.O. members, too, should be exduded, "since this is a group whose very covenant calls for Israd's destruction." At the World Jewish Ckngress, executive director Elan Steinberg said that "our chief concern is that Palestinian inflexibility may sabotage the talks. "Painful concesdons have already been made by lerad prooedurally, on the preeence of a U.N. observer and the whole notion that bilatcnl talks will not begin until after a conference. Even surroundtaig Arab states have made oonoeeaiona. Prime Minister Shamir has likened Syria'a willingness to enter bilateral talka to a transfbnnatian somewhat like Sadat's." Itw«ihibe"trafl^ifthe PalestiBians wan agabi to mbs an o|qwrtunity by deraiUiic the pngrees that has already been made," Steinberg added. Conosra over Israd's security throughout the negnMatinns was foremost in the minds of many, "especially in li^t of the historicsl record of Arab attache against Isrsd and her dviUan population," Arden Shenker, preaident
of the ^ationd Jewish Community Halations Adviaory Council aaid. The leader of NJCRAC. which is the poUcrfmaking umbrella organization <rf the Jewish community, alao aaid "we an oonfidnt that the United States government will oontinne to play a constructiva role in the peace process, as it haa donle in hdping to bring the parties to the conflict together." The lone voice not wdcomingJ;he news of Shamir's commitment to Secratary of State James Baker was Herbert Zwdbon, chairman of Americans for a Safe Israel, a right-wing group which supporto Israd's clsims to territory in sll of "Western Palestine." Zweibon expressed doubt that any Palestinians at a Middle Bast peace cmhrence would be anything but 'P.L.O.-controlled." "They will be contrdled by the reality of the P.L.O.'s ability to eliminate someone with whom they'ra unhappy." he aaid, suggesting that if a Paleethiian repceaentotive without tiea to the P.L.O. wwe to atep forward, he or ehe would be a like^ assasdnatkn target BED CROSS COMPI4AINT GENEVA (JTAh-The Red Croee saya Israd haa yet to reepond to ito 00midakto about th^ way Israd hoMa up vidto to Paleatinian detainees by thefr familiee, to wldch thqr era entitled under the Fourth Geneva Camwtian.

Lawsuit dismissed By Ddbra NMsiwam CoiMn NEW YORK (JTAl-A UJ. Didiiet Court hm di» missed a lawsuit brought by Jews for Jesus agafoat the Jewish Community Rdati<ms Councfl of New YoriL Jews for Jesus sued the JCRC because the Stevensville Hotd, a j^attkoeher reaort in Liberty, N.Y., which has since dosed, did not permit the HebrewiChristian organization to hold ito 1987 annual gathering then after JCRC dhm:tor Michod Miller told the hotd's president that Jewish groups would no longw patronize the estobli^msnt if Jews for Jesus did. Agudath Israd of America, which was acheduled to hold ito annud convention there a few days after the Jews for Jesus gathe^ ing in November 1987, was ready to caned its reservations once it learned of the misdonary group's plans. But Stevensville's president cancelled the contract with Jews for Jeeus and returned the group's depodt. Jews for Jesus sued the JCRC in March 1988, alleging a conspiracy to vio^ late the group'a civil ri^to. In his ruling. Judge Richard Owen of United States District Court hi the Southern District of New York, ruled that the JCRC's efforto wan protected by the j^irst Amendment. The JCRC's efforts wen "definitely not en unlawfill economic boycott," he add. Owen acknowledged, in his opinion, ttut "Jews for Jesus is an 'evangaliatic miadonaiy sodety' whose followera, Jews and nonJews alika, believe that Jeaua waa tb> Meaaiah. a belief that c<mflicto with tradiUond Jewish doctrme." The "JCRC, among other Jewish organizati(nis, feds that Jews for Jeaus usee dec^tive tactlca in promoting ita doctrine, and, hi particular, that Jcwa for Jesus misdonariea fivudulently and mialeadingly uae Jewish symbols to associate thdnadvea with Judaiam and to attract foUowen," he said. The lawyer for Jewa for Jeaua, Ji^ Alan Sdculow, said that the ffmm wiU "definitely" appeddwdeddon to tiia UnitedBUtaa Court of Ai^eala for the Second Chcuit, and to UM Supreme Court. It is ahw conaidaring flUng the auit hi the state courto, and poadbiy rafiUng it hi Federal Dtstrkt Court on ia«cedurd grounds, he aaid. Jtwa for Jeaua waa fonadad 31 yean ago by Moiiiie Roeen, a Jew \ ' converted to Chrlatlanttyl hi the early 1960a and watj ordained a Baptiat mfaiia-t tar hi 1967.
