JERUSALEM (JTA)—Premier Menachem Begin
charged last week that the
recent upsurge of terrorist
acts in the Gaza region was
related to the activities of
the Palestine Liberation Organization's office in EI
Arish in northern Sinai. He
said Israel took a very serious view of this development
and has lodged a formal protest with the Israeli-Egyptian joint, military committee. El Arish was the first Sinai territory returned to
Egypt under terms of the
peace treaty.
The issue was raised in the
Knesset's  Foreign  Affairs
and Security Committee by
Yosef Rom of Likud, Yehuda
Ben-Meir of the National
Religious Party, and Bin-
yamin Halevy of the Democratic Movement. They contended that Egypt was violating the peace treaty by
allowing the PLO to establish itself in El Arish and
operate in the Gaza Strip.
The committee also discussed the situation in south
Lebanon. Amnon Lin of
Likud complained that the'
government was attacking
Maj. Saad Haddad,
commander of the Christian
militia. He was apparently

Parents Of Bar/Bat Mitzvah
Children Taught Prayer Skills
HOUSTON, Texas-The
staff of Congregation Beth
Yeshurun, a large Conservative synagogue here, has decided to hold orientation
courses for parents of Bas
Mitzvah and Bar Mitzvah
candidates twice each year,
according to Rabbi Jack
Segal.
The decision was in response to a substantial
attendance by such parents
at an experimental program
in January to meet the'problem that such parents frequently lack sufficient skills
at prayer to participate in
those ceremonies.
Reporting on the follow-up
in the congregation bulletin,
"The Message," Segal said
that on two consecutive Sunday mornings—Jan. 18 and
Jan. 25—more than 100 parents came to learn how to
recite their Hebrew portions
of the Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebrations. Commenting that
while it was true that only
two-thirds of the parents
attended the two sessions,
Segal declared "that was 100
parents more than we had
last year, when we had no
mass sessions at all for the
parents."
Similar sessions will hereafter be held in November
for parents of children mark
ing their Bar/Bat Mitzvahs
from January u/June; and
in May for those celebrating
those events from July
through December, Segal
reported.
He said he had told parents
that if the ceremony was to
have any true meaning for
the children, the children
"must see that it is equally
important to parents as it is
to the children."
He wrote that on many
occasions he' had noticed
"how embarrassed fathers
are when they are called to
the Torah at the Bar/Bas
Mitzvah to recite the bless-.'
ings" and "how embarrassed their children are
when they hear their fathers
struggling unsuccessfully
through their blessings."
The rabbi said that he had
told the parents that "not
only should the fathers recite
the blessings at the'Torah,
but the mothers should also
recite the blessings together
with the fathers" in a
"duet," but the prayers
"should be recited
properly." **$
Segal said the parents
were enthusiastic about the
proposal and that "after one-
hour instruction, the parents
were  different  people—no
