Celebrating Hanukkah
Family gathers at Rabin grave By Naomi Segal
Yaakov Tzabari, his wife Sada and then infant daughter, recent immigrants to Israel from Yemen, light the Hanukkah candles for the first time in their new home In Itohovot. For Mr. Tsabarl, this holiday repraaenta the victory of Jewish tradition over centuries of dispersion and persecution. Thanks In large part to the UJA Federation Annual Campaign, he now practices the beliefs he and other Yemenite •l«ws struggled so long to preserve openly and Areeljr in his new home in laraeL
Last year, Lilly Chak celebrated her first Hanukkah in Israel after immigrating from the former Soviet Union. This year, she's building a successful business and Jewish life for herself and her family.

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israeli leaders and the family of the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin gathered at his grave recently to mark the end of the 30-day mourning period. Rabin's widow, Leah, wore a blue blazer and colorful scarf around her shoulders to signal the end of the mourning period. Her son Yuval, daughter Dalia and grandchildi^n stood weeping before the new grave beneath gray skies at the brief ceremony. Yuval recited Kaddish, the mourner's prayer, which was followed by two eulogies given by Prime Minister Shimon Peres and Israel Defense Force Chief of Staff Lt Gen. Amnon Shahak. Describing the slain prime minister as a beloved and admired commander, Shahak called on the nation to take stock of itself in the wake of the tragedy. "How did it happen? How did it happen to us, among us?" he said. The soul-searching does not end with the end of the 30 days of mourning. It is just beginning now." Peres said Rabin's death was not in vain. "Your shoulders bore the burden of peace so that the children could be freed from the terrors of war," he said. The bullets that pierced your chest did not kill the fruits of your labors. They only exposed them." After filing past the grave, Leah Rabin and family members embraced close friends and shook hands with those who came to the ceremony —•• including Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu, whom she had earlier criticized for contributing to an atmosphere of vitriolic verbal attacks on her husband in the weeks prior to the assassination. Afterward, members of the Rabin family went to the Knesset for the opening of a photo exhibit dedicated to the late prime ministai's life and tchieveraants.

Eighteen-year-old Denis Emuchin was raised by his grandmother under very poor conditions in a small, dilapidated house in Old Havana. He was physiciWly and Spiritually malnourished, growing up without a Jewish ideniiity — except for a small kosher meat quota inherited from his deceased father. Recently, representatives of the Community Social Service, ajointprogramof JDC (American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, which is supported by UJA campaign funds) and the Jewish community of Cuba, visited Denis. They found him barefoot and dangerously malnourished in a small, attic room above his grandmother's house. Denis quickly received financial help from JDC and was invited to take part in Jewish community activities, A. JDC representative gave him a new set of clothes and a yiu-muika, explained its symbolism and encouraged him 10 attend weekend Shabbat services. With ihe help of other young people ai the Patronato Synagogue in Havana, Denis discovered his roots and found a place where he could belong and be recognized as a Jew. The next day Denis participated in morning services and a one day mini-camp for children and teenagers, organized by the School of Madrichim in Cuba. By the end of the weekend, Denis felt part of his history and his people. The initial look of confusion and hopelessness on Denis' face turned to happiness thanks to JDC and the Cuban Jewish community. CLIP a SAVE

Memorials may be made to National Council of Jewish Women, Temple Israel Endowment Fund or Joslyn Art Museum.
This week's Torah portion contains a message which is peculiarly applicable to the current situation. When Israeli Prime Minister Simon Peres appeared at the recent gathering at Madison Square Garden in New York to pay tribute to the so-recently-assassinated Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin, the TV reports showed pictures of a small group of protesters standing outside holding signs proclaiming "Peres is a traitor." While there are legitimate differences of opinion about the nature and timing of the peace process which must still be addressed, it is shocking that such murderous sentiments are still being expressed, when it seems clear that such vicious language (one form of the sin of "lashon harah") contributed to the poisonous atmosphere which led to the assassination. In this week's Sidrah, an indulgent Ya'akov (Jacob) unwisely shows blatant favoritism to one of liis many cliildren. Being very sensitive to the psychological nuances of the tense atmosphere created by the envy caused thereby, the Torah indicates ARTHUR S. KULAKOFSKY that the brothers were driven to a state of mind Services for Arthur Kulakofsky, 70, were held where "they could not even speak to him peaceful- Tuesday at Temple Israel Synagogue.

("What are you seeking?"). This is the question which we must ask ourselves today. It is possible to have rational discourse on even very vexing questions under dispute when there is a common goal, a common dream that both sides pursue. There can be discussion on what is the best way to achieve that goal. But there can be no civil dialogue when one or both sides have different ultimate goals. In Israel today, if all dream of a true peace for ourselves with our neighbors, one that is secure because it deals fairly and justly with the needs and interests of all involved and seeks tp achieve it in a manner that builds confidence that each side is fulfilling and respecting its commitments, then there is room for legitimate debate and there is hope for the future. But if peace is not a shared goal, danger and tragedy await. The basic issue is one of values. Throughout all of history, the political boundaries of the Land of Israel have changed, even though the ideal boundaries which define Eretz HaKodesh Natalie Rubin, resettlement co-ordinator for (the Holy Land) are Divinely established and eternal.

they override a chance of true peace. When we can no longer "see" our brothers, we need to recall that 'sinat chinam" (unwarranted hatred) is what the Rabbis said caused the destruction of the Second Temple and the loss of Jewish sovereignty. Yoseph grew to say, "I seek my brothers." Today, we too need to reach out to each other. The saintly Rav Kook, when challenged ai to why he continued to work together with the "godless free-thinkers," replied, "Better that I should err through unwarranted love than through unwarranted hatred.'

Roome sup-
Chanukah... just when we need it By Rabbi ML Mendel Katsman Once again, the cherished unity of the Jewish people has been put to the test. As indicated by recent violent acts, we are being challenged, and must turn inward to draw upon our innermost resources. The Chanukah lights commemorate the discovery of a small cruse of pure oil in the Holy Temple, its seal of the Rabbi Katzman High Priest miraculously intact. j^^ Chassidism understands the undefiled oil to be symbolic of the neshama, the Jewish soul. This neshama is the essence of every Jew, a spark of the Divine, forever undefiled. Its undying glow remains unaffected by discord and diviseness that camouflage our inherent unity. Chanukah is the story of the integrity of the Jewish soul.. .the integrity that delivered us from destruction and sustains us as a people. Today, we too need to affirm the neshama within every Jew. The Rebbe made that his life's work, to teach us to appreciate our shared essence and common destiny. As we strive to heal the alienation and conflict tearing at the heart of our people, we would do well to heed his teachings. This year, therefore, let us join the collective Jewish family in celebration of our triumphs and traditions. Let us rediscover the neshama within, and allow it to illuminate without. . Irrespective of our individiAd differences, let us embrace, in increasing intensity, each progressive night of Chanukah, our transcendent and inviolable bond. With its beckoning lights of unity, hope and redemption, this year Chanukah arrives jost when we need it.
Letter irom Israel By Harry Allen Rabbi David Hartman, founder and head of the Hartman Institute in Jerusalem, may well be the brightest and most charismatic star in the galaxy of Orthodox rabbis. From a Hassidic family, he is a believer and practitioner of Orthodox theology. But he is also tolerant, aware of the reality that there is not one universal Jewish path, and plainly open to the need in Israel of establishing new kinds of political and reUgious dialogue. So last week, when Rabbi Hartman spoke to the subject, it was a standing-room-only crowd of Reform, Orthodox, Conservative and secular Israelis and visitors. Jews, 88ud Hartman, have displayed an amazing capacity to maintain themselves on the stage of history. We have done this by devotion to "text*." In the absence of the land~a home base, the texts were carried from place to place as a basis of unity. It was when we were permitted to enter the wider world that this basis of cohesive living began to dissolve-but the urge to maintain identity did not. To Hartman, the choices given us produced what he called the traumatized mind which in turn created for Jews alternative apoplectic scenarios. In the diaspora, Jewish identity was threatened by the "goyim." If they were nice to us, we would assimilate, if not, they would exterminate us. In Israel, the alternatives vis-a-vis the Arabs were much the same. If we make peace with them and let down our guard, they will kill us all. It is the intensity of
i
these traumatic visions which is at the root of Jewish inability to conduct religious and political dialogue in any except the most extreme terms. The no compromise school sees giving back the land not just as reUgious desecration but as allowing the destruction to occur. The other side sees destruction of Israel over the long haul if we don't compromise. When the alternative policy will lead to national destruction one becomes very vehement-even violent, about the argument. So since the peace movement sees the religious side as leading us to destruction, the Shulamit Alonis and Yossi Sarids of our society take great pleasure in castigating religion in general and Orthodoxy in particular. And since the religious right sees in the peace process the ultimate national destruction, it casts Rabin and Peres and all who believe in it as traitors-nay even murderers. Hartman believes this situation will not change until we learn new ways of thinking about each other. To the Orthodox world he preaches openness and acceptance. Bring Jews to Torah by example and education, not by coercion. It is better for 200 kids to attend a Reform Kabbalat Shabbat than trek to the nearest discotheque. A heresy to Orthodox circles preach its better not going to shul than going to a non-Orthodox one. To the secular Israeli world, he has the same message but a different side of the coin. Be open to

Cities across U.S. declare December war against hate By Daniel Kurtzman WASHINGTON (JTA) — All those dedicated to fighting hate agree: The world has much to learn from the people of Billings, Mont. In December 1993, amid a surge in hate activities perpetrated by white supremacists, the Billings community joined together to support neighboi^ — including Jewish families — who had come under attack. Now, the lessons from Billings are sparking a national movement against hate. Communities across the country are declaring Dec. 10-17 "Not In Our Town Week," a naUonally coordinated anti-hate crime end education campaign.

The 35th annual Christmas party for visually impaired children was held Sunday at Crossroads Mall from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Nebraska Foundation for the Visually Impaired sponsored the event, known as the Ruth Sokolof Christmas party in honor of Mrs. Sokolof, who organized the original party in 1961 and was an active participant until her death in 1982. She founded the J.P. Lord Pre-school for visually impaired children. Over 80 children each received $100 in gift certificates and cash, contributed by the Phil and Ruth Sokolof Charitable Foundation. The children were individually accompanied by high school volunteers who escorted them on a shopping spree to buy Christmas gifts for themselves and their families.

Lawyer for confessed killer: 'Hard to assess' plea By Naomi Segal JERUSALEM (JTA) — A lawyer for the confessed assassin of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin said this week that he had not yet decided how his client would plead to the charges against him. "At this stage, it is hard for me to assess," said Mordecai Offri, one of two lawyeifs defending Amir. "I must study the evidence." Yigal Amir was brought before a Tel Aviv court recently to hear the charges against hinl. The judge ordered the trial to begin Dec. 19. The court also ordered Amir to be held in detention until the end of the legal proceedings against him. Three judges will hear the case. Israel has no jury system. Amir, 25, smiled at his father and sister as the charges were read in the courtroom. He was indict, ed a day earlier on charges that included premeditated murder. He faces life imprisonment if convicted. Amir has confessed to the killing and expressed no remorse for his actions. Yonatan Ray Goldberg, the second lawyer representing Amir, lives in the West .'Bank settlement of Emanuel. He

Hanukkah Recipes
The gourmet touch —fried latkes recall miracle of Temple oil lamp I BAYSIDE, Wise—Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, celebrates the miracle of the one day's supply of oil that burned for eight days in the rededicated ancient Temple. Jews around the world remember the miracle and the historic fight for religious freedom by lighting one candle of the menorah each night for eight nights and by preparing some of their favorite holiday foods. The best known—and most popular—of these foods is the latke. Now, the laborious hand grating of the potatoes CEUI be speeded up by using a food processor.

Jimmy Wilson Sr. speaks to B'nai B'rith B^eadbreakers Jimmy Wilson, Sr., father of recently-slain police officer Jimmy Wilaon, Jr., spoke recently to B'nai B'rith Breadbreakers about the memorial fund set up in honor of his son (the James P. Wilson Foundation). He thanked the group for their donation of $250. The purpos^e of the fund, said Mr. Wilson, is to help raise money to buy cameras to put in police cruisers for officer safety. He explained, "The police oiUQer reaches down and double taps the screen to turn the camera on. If an officer is out of his/her car, writing a ticket, he can tap the power pak and the camera goes on. It cannot be turned off until the officer is back in his car and turns it off. If he is in a house, the audio is picked up." He continued, "Although the camera would not have saved Jimmy's life, it would have provided, in living color, the death of my son." Mr. Wilson stressed that no one on the board of the foundation receives any money for what they do, every penny goes right back into equipment.
Uhh'kely benefactor's $22 million endowment By Julie Gruenbaum Fax NY Jewish Week staff writer

For many students and faculty members at Yeshiva University's Stern College for Women, Anne Scheiber's surprise bequest of $22 million has elicited one response: It's about time. 616 S. 72iid Street Monday - Saturday • After years of watching the men's undergraduate Omaha, NE 68114 10 am - 7 pm • division and the university's graduate schools soak (402) 393-8908 Sunday 11 am - 6 pm «.* up benefactor's dollars, Stern can take its place among the top educational beneficiaries in the country. "For all of us this is a wonderful validation of what A. Friedman Company we're doing here to educate and empower women," said Karen Bacon, dean of Stern. "In the past, beneAlan H.

Scheiber's donation of $22 million is the- second largest gift in the university's 109-year history. The estate of Rachel Golding made a $40 million bequest in 1993. "This woman who singled us out has shown enormous confidence in what we are doing without us having to sell her on it," Bacon said. And the bequest couldn't have come at a better time. Stem College is launching its first capital campaign, and the highly publicized donation is a godsend of a jump start. "This gift ... comes at a time when Stem College is developing its own cadre of supporters," said Rabbi Lamm. He points out that several m^or gifts have recently gone to Stem, including multimillion-dollar donations fi'om Billie Ivri to establish a student center and bet midrash, and from the Schottenstein family to acquire a new building to relieve overcrowding in the women's dorm. But he conceded that attention has increased in recent years. "We anticipate this campttign for Stern will not only mobilize philanthropy but also position Stern within the university and on a national level," said Dan Forman, vice president of development at Yeshiva University. Forman said the exact goal of the campaign is still being determined, but will probably be in the range of $25 million to $50 million. The campaign — and the Scheiber donation — mark a coming of age for Stern, which for years has played philanthropic second fiddle to the universit/s graduate and men's diviBions.

By Ruth E. Gruber ROME (JTA) — Former SS Capt. Erich Priebke went before a military court recently for a preliminary hearing to determine whether there was enough evidence to send him to trial for the World War II massacre of 335 Romdn civilians. The hearing opened about two weeks after Priebke, 82, was extradited to Italy from Argentina, where he had livd openly since 1948 in the Andenn resort of Bariloche. Judge Guiseppe Mazzi delayed a decision in the hearing for as long as several weeks, pending a ruling by Italy's Constitutional Court — the highest court in the land — whether families of the victims can take part in an eventual trial as civil plaintiffs. If sent to trial, Priebke would be tried by a military court. There is no legal precedent in Italy for civil plaintiffs to be represented in military courts. The prosecution charges that Priebke was one of the architects of the March 24, 1944, massacre in the Ardeatine Caves south of Rome. The victims — including 75 Jews, several Roman Catholic priests and three teen-agers — were executed in direct reprisal for a partisan attack the day before that killed 33 German soldiers. The mass execution is considered Italy's worst World War II atrocity, and the Ardeatine Caves are a national shrine. More than two dozen family members or friends of the victims waited outside the. courtroom during the closed-door hearing. One of them fainted and had to have medical treatment. > After the trial session, there were shouts of "assassin" as Priebke was led away by police. Priebke was an assistant to Herbert Kappler, the Gestapo chief in Rome during the German occupation. He has admitted to taking part in the Ardeatine Caves massacre, personally killing two people, but he maintains that he was just following orders and had no choice. Lawyers say this image of a soldier following military discipline will be Priebke's line of defense. Priebke, "as a captain who was following orders, could not have changed the outcome of events and he could not have failed to fulfill" the orders of a superior, Pedro Bianchi, Priebke's Argentine lawyer, told reporters outside the courtroom. "We don't deny what happened at the Ardeatine Caves. We don't deny Priebke's participation. We deny he is guilty." Rabbi Abraham Cooper, assistant dean of the Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center, said in an interview that this was "the .same defense that Nazis have given in any trial held in a democracy."

Policeman Square blast JERUSALEM (JTA) - A large explosive device was thrown at an IDF patrol in PoUceman Square (Kikar HaShoter) in Hevron. Apparently, the explosive device was thrown by a passing pedestrian. The explosion was absorbed by the concrete blocks that surround the IDF outpost for that purpose. The four soldiers were uninjured in the blast which was felt by residents in the surrounding homes. One resident stated that he thought this was another earthquake. The area surrounding the IDF outpost was closed off to passers-by to prevent another attack. The location of this blast was approximately 100 meters from the recent shooting into Beit Hadassah. Sources in Heyron have reported that it was a real miracle that no one was killed.

In September, the committee passed out holiday bags to residents in the Remington, Blumkin Home, Livingston and other nursing homes in the city; and in October, they hosted the TIGG (Temple Israel Go Getters) luncheon. This event is the third Wednesday of the month and is open to all seniors in the community. For Hanukah, the committee will distribute gifts for residents confined to nursing homes. The children and youth in Sunday School have been helping with these mitzvahs. Also, they host "Shabbat Comes to You," once a month rotating among Remington, Livingston Plaza and the Rose Blumkin Home. The rabbis, cantor and youth group participate in the service.
