Good luck, Judith Judith Marburg, irty friend and colleague, has retired from her position as managing editor of the Jewish Press. After 17 years, she has decided that the time has come to switch gears and apply her energies in different direct, tions. And what energies she has displayed ... As I told a group of co-workers last week, Mrs. Marburg has worked on 884 weekly and holiday issues, has supervised the production of some 12,376 pages and has poured over an estimated 12 million words. She handled her tasks with great expertise and a dedicated sense of mission that will be most difficult, if not impossible, to replace. The loss of her daily attention to the production of the newspaper means that the flexibility enjoyed by those who provide the Jewish Press with news copy and advertisements will not be as readily available in the . foreseeable future. This means that I must remind our contributors to adhere to deadlines and to prepare their material according to well-known guidelines. There is a terrible temptation on the part of those who serve the Jewish community by working on the paper, to extend themselves beyond recommended limits. Such enterprise, unfortunately, leads to errors and disappointments. Now that the Jewish Press has to regroup and train new people, we ask that our readers cooperate and try to plan ahead so we are not confronted with last-minute requests for special attention. We wish Mrs. Marburg good health and happiness in the years ahead; and perhaps, if she tires of retirement, who knows? Stranger things have happened.
Goldsteins welcome Leonid Shcharansky Soviet Jewry activists Shirley and Leonard Goldstein opened their home last week to Ida Milgrom and Leonid Shcharansky, mother and brother of famed Soviet Refusenik Natan Sharansky. Mrs. Milgrom, now a resident of Israel, is visiting her son, Leonid, who resides in Des Moines and works as a ciistomer engineer for Compressor Controls Corp., a firm founded by Soviet Jewish emigrants. Mrs. Goldstein gained national attention years ago when she smuggled a tape made by Natan Sharansky out of the Soviet Union, In left photo are Leonid, his wife, Raya, their son, Boris, and his mother. At right, Leonid discusses possible business connections with another guest, former Congressman John Cavanaugh, chairman of Summit Limited, an Omaha consulting firm which represents companies in the Soviet Republics.

' -Parashat Bo A supreme irony. . Because our Sidrot these weeks have to deal with the experience of our slave ancestors in Egypt, our Haftarot are taken from the attention given to Egypt by the prophets of other, later, generations. Our Haftarah, Jeremiah's condemnation of Egypt and his insistence that Egypt will fall before the triumphant armies of Nebuchadnezzar, is one of several selections from Jeremiah read as Haftarot. The background of them is highly interesting. They include a supreme irony. The period of history at the very end of the 7th century BCE and the succeeding years was full of war, rebellion, assassination and flight. Babylonia was asserting its power over southwestern Asia and drooling over a prospective invasion of Egypt. Judah had already fallen under Babylonia's power, and a Jewish governor, Gedaliah. had been appointed by the Babylonians to maintain order. He was assassinated by Jewish superpatriots who refused to realize the jig was up, that Babylonian power could not be withstood. They appealed to Jeremiah to pray to the Lord for them and find out what they should do next. Jeremiah's answer, after an interval of 10 days, was that they should submit to Babylonia, aiid by' no means to flee to Egypt, which they had been contemplating. They responded in anger. Apparently they dragged Jeremiah and.his secretary Baruch along with them to Egypt. There Jeremiah bitterly denounced the new Jewish group in Egypt and pronounces doom: they will all be killed there. The supreme irony in the situation was this: A group of the very people whom Jeremiah had remonstrated with back in Judah, before the destruction, now blamed the destruction on himi If you had only permitted us to keep on with our worship of the "Queen of Heaven," this terrible destruction would not have come upon us! How to interpret history! Jeremiah knew that the destruction came because the people were worshiping false gods. And these people knew that the destruction came because Jeremiah had hindered their' worship of this Assyrian-Babylonian Ishtar, "Queen of the Heavens!" Jeremiah, his whole life devoted to urging the people of Judah to be faithful to the Lord, now has the crowning insult thrown in his face, in his old age and in a foreign land: With your stupid insistence on limiting our worship to the Lord God of Israel, you have prevented us from giving proper homage to the Qiieen of Heaven— . and now see what has happened to us! (Jeremiah 44) In all his bitterness^ in all his frustration. Jeremiah insisted till the end on fulfilling his task: In Egypt, fts he had in Judah, he urgently counseled faithfulness to the Lord alone. What lelse could a prophet of the Lord do'; ,

No force on vote Jewish organizational leaders have told White House Chief of Staff Samuel Skinner that they will not force a vote in Congress to secure $10 billion in U.S.-guaranteed loans for Israel. Instead of trying to bypass the Bush administration, the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations told the new.chiet of staff Monday it wants the administration to work out quickly with Israel any as- ^ surances it would want, said Malcolm Hoenlein, the group's executive director. The U.S. guarantees would help Israel obtain

loans from commercial banks here, which would be used to build housing and infrastructure for hundreds of thousands of Soviet Jews expected to arrive in Israel over the next five years. Last September, President Bush balked at an Israeli request for the loan guarantees, while saying he wanted to help Israel absorb the emigres. . Expressing concern that any quick approval of the guarantees might imperil the face-to-face talks between Arab and Israelis, Bush promised instead to revisit the rpatter in 120 days, a period that expires this month.
By, Linda Brockman Miami Jewish Tribune MIAMI (JTA)-David Duke kicked off his national presidential cainpaign here last week in the face of protests by members of the Jewish, Haitian and Cuban communities. Duke, a Louisiana Republican state representative and former neo-Nazi and Ku Klux Klansman, was a guest on a WRHC Cuban radio program with cornmentator Felipe Rivero. Rivero, a leader of the small Cuban National Alliance, repeated his description of the Holocaust as a lie at a news conference prior to the broadcast.

According to The Miami Herald, Duke publicly disagreed, saying the Holocaust had occurred, and that he apologized for his past involvement with neo-Nazis. In a speech later that night, he reportedly said freedom of religion does not mean freedom from Christianity,, called for a halt to nearly all immigration and for the withdrawal of most U.S. troops overseas. And in an earlier interview on Spanish-language WWFE radio, Duke praised "European Christian" immigrants but urged that Haitians be shut out. Approximately 200 protesters gathered outside the WRHC radio station. Members of the Friends of Kach of South Florida and the New Jewish Agenda chanted "Six million, never again, smash the Nazis now." The two Jewish groups normally would make an odd couple. Kach is the anti-Arab political movement founded by the late Rabti Meir Kahane; New Jewish Agenda takes liberal positions on most poUtical and social issues. "We are enraged with tjie candidacy of Nazi David Duke," said Shelley Benveniste, local head of Friends of Kach. Also present were two demonstrators from the Children of Holocaust Survivors of Miami. "We can't let race hatred and anti-Semitism go unchallenged," said Tom Moskowitz, one of the protesters. "That's the lesson o.f the Holocaust."
