Rinkov To Chair Newcomers Program The Shalom Newcomers program, chaired by Claudia Rinkov, has developed plans to help Jewish singles and families moving to the Columbus area meet other members of the community and become oriented to community organizations and agencies. A special facet of this program is the Jewish community Welcome Wagon, which will provide opportunities for Jewish newcomers to be personally welcomed to Columbus. Volunteers are sought to host a Shabbat, Passover or High Holy Day dinner or to host a newcomer event. In addition, they are needed to assist newcomers in learning about Jewish community services, agencies and resources, as well as about the general community. LAST CHANCE!

U.S. Jewish Press Disturbed By Pollard Espionage Affair NEW YORK (JTA) - Jonathan Pollard's espionage in the United States for Israel, his subsequent life sentence and Israel's reaction all disturbed editorial writers of the American Jewish press last week in a variety of ways. ■ James Brenner To Be Installed As President Of Temple Israel *>-:,- Claudia Rinkov Volunteers and newcomers, alike, are asked to contact Meryl Weissmann, at the Columbus Jewish Federation, 237-7686, for more information on the Jewish Welcome Wagon program. James Brenner will be installed as president of Temple Israel at the 141st Annual Meeting scheduled for Friday, April 3, 6 p.m. Brenner, a native of Cleveland, is presently district manager for APCOA, Inc. A graduate of Case Western Reserve, he has been active as a member of the Chamber of Commerce, Building Owners and Managers Assoc, and the National Parking Association.

In addition to financially supporting the two Haddas- sah hospitals in Israel, Hadassah chapters raise money for hospital supplies. In 1916, a handful of sewing and knitting groups made garments and collected linens for Hadassah projects in Palestine; today the supplies have been changed from 'in kind" contributions to fund-raising In the past supplies provided extras not budgeted for in the chapter quotas. Today they do the same, but they are given exclusively to the Hadassah Medical Orga nization (HMO), providing sheets, linens, blankets, hospital garments, uniforms and layettes. The over subscription of the HMO quota by the local chapter will go toward providing these items for the medical installations. Hadassah members are also bolstering Israel's industries and providing employment for Israel's citizens by purchasing in Israel (whenever possible) the tens of thousands of items needed to run the Cities of Science at Ein Karem and Mt. Scopus. Members attending the Champagne-Buffet Supper on Sunday evening, April 5, at Winding Hollow Country Club will celebrate the success of the achievements of the local chapter.

Interfaith Unit Rabbi Harold Berman of Congregation Tifereth Israel has been named to chair the Interfaith Task Force of the Rabbinical Assembly Social Justice Committee. Announcement was made by Rabbi Alan Silverstein, chairman of the Committee for the International Association of Conservative Rabbis. Rabbi Berman's position will involve him in writing materials and participating in consultations for the Rabbinical Assembly and other religious groups. The Rabbinical Assembly has already accepted for publication papers on Jewish/Moslem dialogue, based on experiences in Columbus, and guidelines for general interfaith contact for synagogues, federations and communities. Representing the Rabbinical Assembly and also the Rabbinic Cabinet of the United' Jewish Appeal, Rabbi Berman and several members of the Rabbinic Cabinet European Mission of 1987 met in February with Bishop Henryk Muszynski in Warsaw, Poland. Rabbi Berman and the delegation were the first rabbis to meet in Poland with church hierarchy after the church's decision to move a planned convent from the site of the Auschwitz concentration camp. Rabbi Berman has served on the national staff of the Joint Commission on Social Action of the United Synagogue of America and was editor of "Judaism in Social Action" from 1970 until 1975. He has published a number of articles for national distribution on interfaith issues. Rabbi Harold J.

The Jewish Week of New York was one of the latter, contending that ■ American Jews can justifiably condemn both Israeli and American actions — Israel for using Pollard and then deserting him and the U.S. for creating the need for espionage by not sharing intelligence with Israel as promised. The editorial said it was unfair that • Pollard will spend the rest of his life in U.S. prison "abandoned by the very people whose lives will be more secure for years to come because of what he did." "As for the nonsense that now the loyalty of all Ameri- can Jews will be suspect," the editorial continued, "the only people currently making an issue of this are -American■•■ Jews --•. andTwe . have more important things with which to concern ourselves." ■ The Long Island Jewish World agreed that dual loyalty wasn't the issue. "A Jew has a singular loyalty to his conscience," its editorial explained. The editorial expressed, "simply ... sadness" over Pollard's guilt and life sentence. The Jewish World considered Israel callous for promoting Pollard's handlers, and in terms less harsh than those of the Jewish Week wondered if "maybe the United States could have been more generous in sharing intelligence to its most loyal and lonely ally." The U.S.-Israeli relationship won't suffer, the Jewish World contended, as it is based on "geopolitical reality and a common spirituality that hasn't changed."
