Religious Groups At U.N. Decry Anti-Semitism In World Body UNITED NATIONS (JTA) — In an unprecedented action, a joint statement by representatives of Non-Governmental Organizations from the major religious bodies at the United Nations, have expressed concern that attacks against Israel in the General Assembly have "de- ■ generated into blatant anti- Semitism," the World Jewish Congress reported last week. The statement was approved by the caucus known as "Religious NGO's" and was incorporated into the annual assessment of the work of the General Assembly is- used by the group. Accord-' ing to the WJC representatives at that meeting, Elan Steinberg, the statement, though of a general nature, was intended to be an explicit repudiation of the anti- Semitic remarks of the Libyan representative to the General Assembly on Dec. 6, 1983. On that occasion, the Libyan Ambassador, Ali Treiki, saidr "It is high time for the United Nations and the United States in particular to realize that the Jewish Zionists here in the United ■ States attempt to destroy Americans. Look around New York. Who are the owners of pornographic film , operations and houses? Is it not the Jews who are exploiting the American people and trying to debase them?" In response "to the Libyan outburst, Secretary-General-Javier Perez de Cuellar the following day issued a statement "calling on delegates to refrain from such "unbecoming language." Intermarriage Major Concern Of German Jewry BONN (JTA)—There are only about 33,000 Jews living in all of West Germany and West Berlin and a large proportion of them are elderly. But the problem of intermarriage has become a major concern of the Jewish community, according to the Juedischer Pressedienst, a publication of the Central Council of Jews in West Germany. Jewish Athletes In Winter Olympics NEW YORK (JTA)—Five Jewish athletes are part of the 135-member U.S. Olympic Winter Games contingent now going on. in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia.

Israeli Coverage By Judith Franklin Chronicle News Editor An angry man was in Columbus late last week to speak at the Feb. 9 Columbus Jewish Federation Wont- en's Division Leadership Dinner, Abbie Ben Ari, a former member of Israel's delegation to the United Nations currently recognized as a leading authority in the field of mass communications, was "annoyed as hell" about what he was, actually wasn't, seeing on American TV. "America didn't go into Lebanon to save or assist Israel. . ." ■ Commenting on last Thursday's media coverage of the redeployment of the United States Marines in Lebanon and consequent heavy shelling of Moslem positions in the Shouf Mountains, Ben Ari said that he hadn't seen any reports With U.S. Media Of War In Lebanon depicting the "havoc and destruction, negativism and heartache of war" as were common when Israel invaded Lebanon in June 1982. He pointed out that "innocent men, women and chil- Status Of Jews In Soviet Union Likely To Remain Unchanged Under Chernenko's Leadership By Judith Franklin Chronicle News Editor The death of Soviet President Yuri Andropov last Thursday at age 69 and the appointment of Konstantin Chernenko, 72, as his successor, has raised speculation once again as to the future of the Jewish population in the Soviet Union. Most experts agree, however, that the change in leadership will have hardly any effect on the Jews. "Things may be a little better or a little worse," according to Dr. Miriam Schwartz of the Center of Slavic and Rabbi Hirsch At Ahavas The formal installation of Rabbi Hirsh Chinn as Rabbi of Ahavas Sholom Congrega- Chinn To Be Installed Sunday, Feb. 26 Rabbi Hirsch Chinn tion, along with the installation of the entire Board of Trustees, is scheduled for Sunday evening, Feb. 26, at 8 p.m. Rabbi Chinn received his rabbinical ordination from Yeshiva Torah Vodaath and attained a masters of science degree in education from Long Island University. Under Rabbi Chinh's leadership, the synagogue has experienced many physical improvements along with the introduction of a variety of educational programs. Keynote speaker at the installation will be Rabbi Chinn's teacher and mentor, Rabbi Avrohom Pam. Rav Pam is presently Dean (Rosh Yeshiva) of Yeshiva Torah Vodaath in New York, the first Yeshiva high school in the U.S., presently with over 500 students. Rabbi Chinn studied under Rav Rabbi Avrohom Pam Pam for four years prior to accepting his position in Columbus. (CONTINUED ON PACE )3> East European Studies at The.Ohio State University, "but there will be no substantive change." Eric Rozenman, director of the Community Relations Committee of the Columbus Jewish Federation, agrees. "Anyone who looks for a drastic change since Andropov has left the scene, is overly optimistic," he said. "Ending emigration, and increasing-harassment and the use of anti-Semitism as official policy didn't start with Andropov. It most likely will extend beyond Andropov, especially in the near future." In addition, Dr. Schwartz points out that the Soviet Union has not been under "the arbitrary rule of one; person" but under the "arbitrary ruleof the coalition" — the Politburo — for quite some time. Therefore, the presence or absence of one man has little impact on decision making. Moreover, the fact that the man now in power is Chernenko, Leonid Brezhnev's handpicked successor, makes it even more likely that the harsh policy toward the Jews begun during his tenure will continue, she notes. Abbie Beii Ari dren are being killed" and asked why Israel has been made "the conscience of,the world." The double standard, one for America and another for Israel is, he feels, unfair. Concerning American involvement in Lebanon, Ben Ari said that no one should ■ interpret it as support for Israel. "America didn't go into Lebanon to save or assist Israel," he explained, but to uphold the most basic tenet of U.S. government, the containment of the Soviet Union. This could have been achieved, he noted, through a strong; democratic Gemayel government, which is currently disintegrating because it lacks the broad based support it needs to succeed. "'Peace' is the most misused word in the Mid- dleEast." Now, Ben Ari sees several possible scenarios in the Middle East. He predicts that Lebanon may become a partitioned country, like Switzerland, with each segment of the population in controlof its own "canton," or that Gemayel may be succeeded by someone who might be able to form the centralist government he couldn't. In any case, Ben Ari doesn't see any peaceful solution in the near future. " 'Peace' is the most misused word in the Middle East," he noted. "To us it means an end unto itself, the sublime. We will fight a war to make peace. We will sacrifice for peace." But to the Arabs, whose religion teaches that one cannot make peace with an infidel, a non-believer, peace is only a means to an end. They will make peace only to regain their strength so that they can fight again to annihilate the infidel, he explained. Mary Lazarus Selected To Receive Temple Israel Humanitarian Award Mary K.
