By RABBIJOSEPH RADINSKY
The annual UJA Rabbinical Cab-
inet meeting, which was held in
Chicago, III, from Dec. 3-5,
stressed the great possibilities
and dangers that confront the
Jewish people in the coming
months and years. The miracle of
the Russian exodus was on every-
body's minds. The great resources
needed to integrate this great ali-
yah into the fabric of Israeli soci-
quest would stop the flow of arms
to Israel. Israel is dependent on
the United States for even jet fuel,
4 but, what's more, because of the
current harmony between the
U.S. and the Soviet Union, if Is-
rael would protest too loudly the
Russian Jewish aliyah could be
This means, of course, that with
this great amount of arms Israel's
qualitative edge has disappeared.

stopped.
Regardless of how the Gulf cri-
sis is solved, Israel will suffer. It
is the only country that has dis-
tributed gas masks to its populace.
Syria still is talking war and mak-
ing demands. Because of Saddam
Hussein's defiance, he is a hero
to the Palestinians, who will be
even less likely to compromise.
Israel's economy is also chang-
ing. Everyone realizes that many
of the socialist practices of the
past are not working. The influ-
ence of the new Russian immi-
grants is being felt. They will ac-
tually make Israel's economy im-
prove, but resources are needed
to build the necessary housing
and provide the necessary jobs.
Israel desperately needs tourism
not only for the dollars that it
brings but also to lift the Israelis
spirits and let them know that
they are not alone in confronting
their problems. The conference
ended with a call to all American
Jewry to do whatever they could
to make sure that Israel survives
and that the Russian and Ethiopi-
The United States has told Israel
that we will sell it the patriot mis-
sile system. This system costs
$350 mijlion, and even if Israel
had the money to buy, annual
maintenance runs $100 million.
The United States has told Israel
not to worry if it loses its qualita-
tive edge because there will al-
ways be U.S, troops nearby. But
Israel would be seen as a colony
of the United States and all its
deterrent threat would be lost.

most worrisome time for Israel
since 1948 because the dangers
are so many. Israel has always de-
pended upon her own strength for
her survival up to now but, be-
cause of the Gulf crisis, it has
been asked by the Bush adminis-
tration to forgo any type of inde-.
pendent action. The Bush admin-
istration has even asked Israel not
to respond even if she is attacked
by Saddam Hussein, and to leave
the Gulf situation entirely to
America.
Israel has also been told that

BJE RUNS 'READY-TO-HANG' BULLETIN
BOARD WORKSHOP - On Wednesday, Nov. 28, the
Bureau of lewish Education (BJE) ran the second in a series of Make-

are held at lunchtime to attract teachers from both the Day and Reli-
gious schools, who are not able to attend evening workshops. Particu-

that is needed to transport the
Jews from Russian and Ethiopia to

The dangers of the present Gulf

CRC's Domestic Affairs Committee. The two meetings are
designed to provide the Jewish community an opportunity
to discuss issues of concern with local and state officials.
The working visit to C ity Hall has been set for 9 a.m.
through lunch on Thursday, Feb. 7, and the statewide mis-
sion has been set for the entire day of Tuesday, Mar. 5,
1991. In Austin, theHouston delegation will join a state-
wide Jewish coalition. According to Beren and Rubenstein,
full agendas are planned for both missions. Top elected
officials will address the visiting delegations, and partici-
pants will meet privately with particular office holders for
fuller discussions of issues. Informal activities are sched-
uled as well.
The community is encouraged to participate in both of
these unique programs. The cost of the City Hall visit,
which includes lunch at the Houston Club, is $35. The total
cost of the trip to Austin, including round-trip airfare,
breakfast, lunch and an early evening reception, is $100.
In order to take advantage of special airfares to Austin,
checks payable to the Jewish Federation must be mailed
to the attention of the CRC by Jan. 2, for the Austin mission.

Dr. Helen Schaffer, chairman of the Leo Horvitz Scholar-in-Residence Committee,
wants the entire community to be aware of the impact Paul has had through the years
on all of his students. "We understand," commented Schaffer, "from those who have
studied with him, that the community can look forward to a time of learning and great
enjoyment." One former student stated, "Paul's so good, I'm organizing my schedule
to hear as many of his lectures as possible."
A full schedule of classes and lectures will be published in early January.
The Leo Horvitz Scholar-in-Residence Program was established at the J CCto provide
the community with a unique, high-level monthlong learning experience with a prom-
inent professor of Jewish studies. The program, honoring Dr. Horvitz's memory and his
lifelong commitment to Jewish education, is made possible by the generous support of
his wife Bunny and his family, and in part by a grant from the Texas Committee for the
Humanities, a State Program of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
