Jewish response to Simpson trial on page 4
Forums offer opportunity for input on Federatioifplan By Barbara Chandler, Federation communications director All members of the Jewish community are invited to offer input and ask questions concerning the issues identified by the Federation's Strategic Planning Committee. Two forums will be held — one on Sunday, Oct. 29 from 10 a.m to noon, and one on Monday, Oct. 30 from 7 to 9 p.m. Both forums will take place at the J.C.C. Forrest Knitter, Strategic Planning chairman, Lori Rabb, Federation assistant director, and planning consultant Marc Salisch will be there to facilitate the discussions Howard Bloom, Federation executive director, stated, 'We believe that our Federation and our Agency system must redefine itself in order to meet the challenges that are on the horizon — changes in Israel, changes in our own government in terms of sodal service Eigencies, and changes in our local demographics that affect the growth and strength of our future Jewish community, "We are committed to providing open communication on the strategic plan as it develops and we welcopie your active participation in the process by attending one of these community forums." Lori Rabb commented on meetings held earlier this month. 'The Strategic Planning Committee met with Marc Salisch for a two-day workshop. During those meetings, the committee began-developing an initial blueprint based on these strategic issues:
1. What is the overall mission of the Federation and its Agencies? 2. What is the optimal relationship between the Omaha Jewish community and Israel? 3. What is the optimal relationship between the Federation, its Agencies and the Synagogues? 4. How can we energize our financial resource development strategy including endowments and the Annual Campaign? 6. How can we encourage and develop future leadership and volunteer involvement? "We are looking for input from the community in each of these strategic areas," Mrs. Rabb continued. "This plan will be for the benefit of the entire Jewish community and it is very important to everyone involved that as many ideas as possible are put onto the table for consideration. We urge everyone with an interest in the future of our Jewish community to attend one of the scheduled forums and share your views.' For more information, contact Lori Rabb, Federation assistant director, at 334-6431, or Howard Bloom, Federation executive director, at 3344IS3.

Parashat Bereshit This week's parsha, Bereshit (Genesis 1; 1-6:8) sets the background or context for the entire Torah. Ii> it, we discover the Jewish perspective that God created the whole world; that the world is designed with forethought and intention; and that the world is basically good. It also presents us with our first holy day—a day which, from the perspective of the Torah, is built right into the very fabric of the world's existence: Shabbat. The first week in the Torah ends with God taking off fit)m creating. It says, "And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because on it God ceased from all the work of creation which God had TEDDE ROSENBLUM done" (Gn. 2:3). I found a wonderful insight into the Word has been received of the Oct. 3 death of six days of work and one day of rest in a Torah Tedde Rosenblum, 70, of Flushing, N.Y. Burial was Aura publication. In it, Debby "Weisman quotes the in Hebrew Union Cemetery in Staten Island, N.Y. Maharal as saying "six is the number of the physiShe was preceded in death by a daughter, Ann cal world.

But if we live the seventh days as we live Shirley Brody of Omaha; three grandchildren and the other six, concentrating on that outer world, we one great-grandchild. miss the seventh, or inner, realm. This is what is so much lacking from our world today—a spiritual dimension. The Torah portion suggests that we cannot gain Sam Franco and his three-piece band will enterthis dimension unless we set aside the time to rest, to reflect, and to work on our relationship with tain residents of the Rose Blumkin Jewish Home at Grod, family and friends. In fact, there is a wonder- the Hadassah monthly Oneg Shabbat Saturday, ful and oflen quoted Jewish teaching which asks, Oct. 28, 2 p.m. "Why did God rest on the seventh day? Could it be Hadassah members assisting with the residents said that God, Whose strength is unending, needed and at the tea following the program, are asked to to rest?" The answer given is that God rested in arrive at 1:30 p.m. order to teach us to stop, rest and make one day a Hadassah chairmen are Ann Belmont and Mary week holy. Fellman. For some of us, nothing could be harder than to try to stop the whirlwind pace of the week! I am one of those people. While I see Shabbat as a day of rest, prayer and family, there is a voice in my head that always says Men and women who have served in the Armed "I wonder how much I could get done while I rest Forces will be thanked during services at Beth this Shabbat." I find myself thinking, 'It isn't really counter to Shabbat if I,catch up on some of my Israel Synagogue on Shabbat morning, Nov. 11. As that day is the national day of appreciation. reading for work while I rest this Shabbat—after all, it's all on Jewish topics." Or I reason, "What Veterans' Day, the congregation will honor and harm would it do to just get out of the way a little remember those who fought during our country's wars and those who served during peacetime, those bit of laundry on Shabbat." These are the kind of profane acts I have to fight who died and those who survived. against doing on Shabbat; you may have your own Kiddush, sponsored in honor of all veterans, will list. follow. For many of us, it takes a real struggle over our get-things-done mentality and a real juggling of tasks to make Shabbat happen. Perhaps you work, or your child has a soccer game. Perhaps there are things which you feel absolutely must get done on Saturday. I would encourage you still to ask yourself: How will 1 make today Shabbat? How will we as a family rest today? How will we set this day apart as a holy day? How will we take time for our inner selves? Perhaps Shabbat morning services can become a regular and holy part of the day. They certainly will insure time for introspection and God. Maybe Saturday afternoon can be marked off as family time. Eliyahu Ki Tov asked the question, *lf God is speaking all the time, then why can't we hear God clearly now?* The answer he gave was that the background noise, static and racket is so great today that they drown out the sound of God's ever speaking voice (Sparks Beneath the Surface, Kushner and Olitsky.) To hear Go(| today, we must make the time and the quiet in order to do so. We have to carve out a Shabbat for our inner dimension.

Jewish reaction to Simpson trial
iterview with Ron Goldman's stepbrother By Lisa S. Lenkiewicz Connecticut Jewish Ledger Many Americans who have been riveted to TV this past year as the O.J. Simpson trial unfolded were shocked when they heard the verdict: "not guilty." But for Brian Glass, stepbrother of murder victim Ronald Goldman, the reaction was not just disbelief, but anger. Tm shocked and livid...ifs not fair to this country...he's still fi-ee," said Glass, who is a junior at the University of Hartford. In a telephone interview with the Ledger, Glass read a prepared statement which said, in part: It's a sad time in all of our lives. Justice has not been served in this case. Justice has been manipulated and redefined by a high-priced legal defense team. Just because the defendant was deemed not guilty does not mean that he is innocent." Glass is from Chicago, where he lived with his father after his parents' divorce. Glass' mother Patti, is now married to Fred Goldman, father of Ronald Goldman, who was brutally murdered with O.J.'s former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson. Glass said he grew close to his stepbrother Ron and other members of the Goldman family when he . went to live with them and his mother in California for a few years before high school. He remembered Ron as the type of person who would "fight for what he thought was right." His stepbrother would not have run away from danger, he said, but would have fought his attacker. Asked how the family is doing. Glass said he spoke with his family in California after the verdict. "They're having a rough time," he said. "We all thought it would be a guilty verdict, based on how quick the jury came to a decision," he added. Echoing post-trial comments from defense attorney Robert Shapiro, Glass said, "They played the race card from the bottom of the deck." Glass went on to express incredulity at how a jury could reach a verdict of not guilty despite the overwhelming forensic evidence such as the presence of Goldman's blood in Simpson's Bronco. Last July, "Good Morning America" flew Glass out to LA to tape him sitting in the courtroom. "I can't explain how I felt sitting six feet away from the defendant," said Glass, who, in his conversation with this reporter, did not mention Simpson by name, only referring to him as "the defendant." The 21-year-old student said he's been trying to keep a low profile on campus, despite the intense media attention. A member of the Jewish fraternity, ZBT, Glass said that he would not "have made it" this past year without the support of his fraternity brothers and fellow students. "We are a tight group [the ZBT fraternity). My friends have supported me a lot," he said. "Students have called me up to say how sorry they were [about Ron) and ask if there's anything they can do," he said. 'It's been a rough year." Glass said police are investigating an incident that occurred Tuesday evening, Oct. 3, at his offcampus apartment. Glass said vandals smashed eggs against his front door, and that he heard footsteps running away. 'It's definitely related" to the verdict, he said. Police are investigating the incident. In response to a question as to the eibotional state of his stepfather, who has strongly attacked the Simpson defense team, Glass denied that his stepfather is a "loose cannon." "Of course you're going to react with rage and anger when your son is murdered, but you have to draw the line," said Glass, adding that the Goldman family plant to become active in the fight against domestic violence.
Actions by OJ.'s attorney distress some Jewish leaders By Tom Tugend LOS ANGELES (JTA) — The Jewish community, like most of the nation and world, had followed the twists and turns of the O.J. Simpson trial for nearly nine mohths, with varying degrees of fascination. ' But it was not until the Qnal days of arguments and in the week after the ji^s 'not guilty" verdict, that specifically Jewish sensitivities came into play. Jewish passions were engaged, and continue unabated in Los Angeles and elsewhere, by a number of developments: * The overwhehning grief of the family of murder victim Ronald Lyle Goldman, expressed with particular poignancy and anger during Yom Kippur services at their synagogue. * The invocation of Hitler and the Holocaust by lead defense attorney Johnnie Cochran Jr. in his final appeal to the jury. • The post-trial attack by Jewish defense lawyer Robert Shapiro on Cochran for playing the "race card." • Cochran's use of bodyguards from the Nation of Islam. , Speaking to hundreds of fellow congregants from Temple Beth Haverim at a rented church hall in suburban Westlake, Fred Goldman grieved for the death of his son Ron. Cochran "single-handedly, with his 'Dream Team,' managed to shove a wedge between the races that's larger than we could ever have imagined," said Goldman. Goldman said, "We, as a nation, have been turned upside down — gone fi'om being concerned about victims, and their families, to being more concerned about defendants and criminals." Despite the solemnity of the Yom Kippur service, worshippers Itapt to their feet and gave Goldman a standing ovation. Earlier, Jewish agencies were outraged when Cochran, in his final summation to a jury that included nine African Americans, compared Mark Fuhrman, former Los Angeles Police detective, to Hitler, and drew an analogy between the detective's taped wish of burning all blacks and the Holocaust. "The metaphor trivialized a profound historical tragedy," said the Anti-Defamation League in a statement. The ADL reported that it had been besieged by callers outraged by the "FuhrmanFuhrer" analogy. Also deeply offended was defense lawyer Shapiro, who turned on his colleague Cochran within hours of the verdict. "To me, the Holocaust stands alone as the most terrible human event in modern civilization," Shapiro said in an ABC television interview with Barbara Walters. "To compare [HiUer] in any way to a rogue cop, in my opinion was wrong." Shapiro also said the defense, paced by Cochran, not only played the race card, but "we dealt it from the bottom of the deck." Shapiro did not respond to requests for additional comments. < Cochran, in turn, attributed Shapiro's ire to sour grapes at having been replaced as the defense's lead attorney by Cochran. The other Jewish defense lawyers, Barty Scheck, Peter Neufeld and Alan Dershowitz, did not join in Shapiro's protest. Citing death threats against himself, Cochran surrounded himself with eight burly bodyguards whenever he left the courtroom during the last weekof the trial. At the office building housing Cochran's law firm, other occupants complained that they had to

pass through a phalanx of guards to get to their own offices. The guards were members of the Nation of Islam, led by Louis Farrakhan, which "in past years engaged in crude and vulgar racism and antiSemitism," said Abraham Foxman, the ADL national director. ^ By his choice of such bodyguards, Foxman added, Cochran legitimizes them and their attitudes." Once the Holocaust became part of the post-trial debate, emotional tensions rose sharply, adding a Jewish dimension to the clear polarization between blacks and whites emerging from the trial. The question of whether Jews or African Americans had suffered more in the past decades and centuries, and who, indeed, 'owned" the Holocaust, took on a sharper edge. Charles Lindner, a Jewish lawyer, who helped Cochran fashion his closing argument, said for those who say that Hitler is proprietary to the Jews, he isn't." The ADL's Foxman, a Holocaust survivor, disagreed strenuously. "The Fuhrman-Hitler analogy "was outrageous and an insult to the millions of innocent victims of Nazism," Foxman said. "The metaphor trivialized this profound historical tragedy." In contrast, Karen Grigsby Bates, a black Los Angeles social commentator, told Time magazine that by clinging to the uniqueness of the Holocaust, Jews are saying that 'our suffering counts more than yours. And the reaction among black people is, 'don't you dare.' There is such a groundswell of resentment among African Americans toward that attitude." Los Angeles Rabbi Harold Schulweis objected to the entire concept of relative vietimhood. "All such comparisons are invidious and irrelevant," he said. By almost every measurement of public opinion, the Simpson trial and its outcome have exacerbated racial tensions in this country. What is the depth and duration of the negative impact on black-Jewish relations will be measured in the weeks, and maybe years, to come. Bchulweis called for understanding of the African American viewpoint. "As Jews, we must ask ourselves how we would deal with a beleaguered black community, and how we would have reacted if Mr. Simpson were Jewish or if a Jonathan Pollard had been the defendant," Harvey Fields, another leading Los Angeles rabbi, said that "the agony that has grown out of the trial shows the depth of radsm that still exists in our society." AIPAC launches education effort on OSLO Washington— AIPAC has launched a major nationwide program to educate the pro-Israel ' mmmunity on the Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement, which the organization has called one of the most important developments since the founding of the State of Israel. "The American Jewish community has a special role to play in understanding the complexities of the agreement, its implications for Israel's future benefits and risks alike - and helping to ensure that the U.S.-Israel relationship remains unshakable in the foreseeable future and over the horizon when there may be unforeseen difliculUes,* said Neal Sher, AIFAC's Executive Director. "The challenge to our community is to step up our political activism to maintain vital U.S. support of Israel so that it can confidently take the often dramatic steps it deems necessary for peace," continued Sher. *We must be engaged as partners with our government and with Israel to ensure this agreement (ueceedi in achieving its goal of security.*

Bert's Eye View By B«rt Lewii At one time I believed that old adage which claimed there was oothing new under the sun, but in these days of inter-active television, computers which can do most anything and travel through outer space, it has less credibility. Still, every once in a while, I hear about something *new" which isn't actually new, only a newer version of something old. For example, people in various parts of the country can now join classes which teach ballroom dancing. Tm sure there are those who never knew this graceful pastime had gone out of favor, but not too many still do it. > The very young, as well as the 30 and 40 somethings never learned to even touch while dancing, never mind "gliding gracefully". Now, after years of everything from the Charleston and Jitterbugging to whatever they call it today, somebody has brought back ballroom dancing. That's nice, isn't it? My source claims there's even talk of including this as an Olympic event for competition which may be stretching it, but still, it's nice. Some "new* concepts are really new, however. At least I've never before heard of restaurants which not only allow dogs but serve them from a special dog menu. I should add the food is served in special dog bowls, lest you think the dishes are interchangeable with the customer china. Another new idea is that of animal massage parlors, where folks bring in dogs (and I guess cats too) for a gentle body massage. The ones I sew lookied ecstatic, as though it was the greatest invention since bones. I guess it wouldn't be too surprising to leam both the dog service restaurants and the canine massage parlors can be found in the state of California - and no, I'm not picking on California. Those are simply the facts. -i I don't know whether to include this in the category of "new" or "re-run" but you can be the judge; Available for guys who always wanted to be cowboys are opportunities to actually see what it's like. Various ranches which cater to tourists offer a package which includes riding, roping and generally hanging out with real cowboys. It's expensive and popular among those who've done everything else already. Now I understand the same thing is being offered for the Dale Evans wannabe. Hey, nobody believes in the concept of equality more than I, but count me out of this one! However, if YOU want to go, gezunterate. Is it new, well if we could ask the pioneer ladies who helped settle the land, we'd no doubt leam it isn't. Is there really nothing new under the sun? Beats me.

A familiar friend in a foreign world , By Shjuia Novak, Syraeuse University fJewiah PrewB, intern I was in New York City over Rosh Hashanah, sitting in an unfamiliar synagbgue, listening to an unfamiliar r^bbi read^ the Torah, surrounded by unfamiliar people. In fact, the only part of my whole holiday that was familiar to me was the comforting charm of the prayers I hebrd. I was far from home on Rosh Hashanah, so in my head, I took a trip home. As the Torah was read, I ventured back to the good old days when I perched myself safely and comfortably between mom and dad at Rosh Hashanah services, my feet hanging far from the floor. Mom and dad would follow the service in their prayer books as I pretended to follow along like the grown-ups, only in my small hands I held the illustrated story of apples and honey. Today, I'm 8 years old plus 10, and this Rosh Hashanah, I did not sit between my parents nor did I have my beloved picture book of Rosh Hashdnah. I was a college student in a crazy world—just trying to greet the New Year as best as I could. I didn't know a single person in the sanctuary but I was familiar with what they all were -singing, which made me feel as if I were eight again—innocent—learning and listening to the rabbi read the Torah as I pretended to follow along. This Rosh Hashanah made me realize that as a college student in a world where everything is new and uncertain, Judaism will be a comfort no matter where you are, no matter how old you are. I don't know what I want to be in life and I don't know where 111 end up, but I do know that I will alwasrs be Jewish, and that gives me something to lean on—always. I am certain that I am not the only college kid in this world who is uncertain about their future—so to all of the people like me, I urge you to not take your religion for granted. Go to services and sit among strangers, yet know what they pray about. Sit between people you do not know and feel like you are eight again. Follow the prayer book and pretend it is full of pictures. You may not luiow where you're going in Ufe. You may not know where college will take you—but Judaism is the one thing that will always stick around if you let it.

r^ Jewish Women's group to host event Hiddush Levanah, the newly-formed Omaha Jewish Women's Spirituality and New Moon Network, is hosting a Jewish New Moon Celebration in honor of the upcoming Hebrew month of Heshvan. The Hebrew month of Heshvan, which arrives on the heels of the holiday-packed Hi^ Holidays season, is unusual since it does not contain any holidays. Heshvan accords us the opportunity to reflect on the holiday seaspn which has passed and to look ahead to the New Jewish year which will unfold in ; the months ahead. Eliane Freund, event oo-coordinator, points out, Throu^ prayer, meditation, dance, song, and the creation of a group art project, Jewish women in our community will have an opportunity to address : the theme of New Moon and the cycle of the the New Jewish Year 6766, which was just ushered in on Rosh Hashanah. According to Deirdre Evans, event co-coordinator, "Based on the overwhelming attendance and feedback of the women who celebrated the three previous events to mark the new moons of Adar I in January, lyyar in April, and Av in July, the Jewish women of Omaha are eager for spiritual encounters. In the future, it is my hope to see celebrations such as these take place throughout the omaha . Jewish community in honor of every new Jewish month as is done in cities throughout the U.S.A." The event, co-sponsored by the Jewish Cultural Arts Council, will be held Tuesday, Oct. 24, from 7 to 9 p.m., at the home of Willis Ann Ross, 676 North 66th St. Light refreshments will be served and there will be no cost for the program. For more information, call Deirdre Evans at 5519005, or Eliane Freund at 556-7065.

U.S. fails to persuade Syria to resume negotiations
By Matthew Doif WASHINGTON(JTA) — Once again, American oificials have tried in vain to jump-start the stalled Israeli-Syrian peace talks. ' Secretary of State Warren Christopher was unable to secure a pledge to renew peace talks from Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk al-Sharaa at a luncheon meeting here. Instead, Sharaa told Christopher that Syria would not resume talks until Israel agrees to a total withdrawal from the Golan Heights and drops a demand for an early-warning station on the strategic plateau, according to a U.S. official. Syria abruptly broke off talks in June after senior military officials from both sides met in Washington. Damascus halted the negotiations after disagreements peaked in regard to security arrangements that would accompany a presumed Israeli withdrawal from part or all of the Golan Heights. American officials have been bitter over Syria's backtracking on a deal Christopher had struck to continue high-level face-to-face meetings. •^e felt that we had an agreement on a sequence of steps that would help the parties discuss the security issues," State Department spokesman Nicholas Burns said, referring to the Syrian decision to cut off talks. Christopher expects "difficult" negotiations over resuming the talks. Burns said. "Security experts should be involved in the discussions," Bums said. "We'll look for ways to bring both the substance and the procedure on the Israeli-Syrian track together to make progress." Meanwhile, Israeli officials have denied reports that Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres met with Sharaa at the United Nations. "I regret to deny" that there were any such meetings, an Israeli official here said, adding, "We wish that there were but it is just not true." As Christopher tried to coax Syria to the negotiating table and Israel expressed regret that the sides are not meeting, Syria's government-run media took a hard line, blaming Israel for the delay. And Sharaa, in an address to the U.N. General Assembly on, took a similar stance. "Israel wants the negotiations to prevaricate and backtrack from the requirements of peace, in order to impose its conditions," he said. He called on the United States to "ehminate the obstacles that Israel continues to place on the road to achieving a just and comprehensive peace." "Syria reaffirms its commitment to peace built on the same foundations of the peace process and not on any olhei* bases or formulas whose only objectives are to satisfy Israel's arrogance and entrench its hegemony without bringing to the people of the region the dignity, security and stability they aspire lo," he said. In the address, Sharaa also criticized Israel's accord with the Palestinians. "Israel's rulers do not seek a genuine, just and comprehensive peace which would put an end to strife, occupation and colonial settlement and which would guarantee security and stability to all," he said. In an earlier address to the U.N. General Assembly, Peres had chastised the Syrians for not sticking to the talks.
Meeting of black antf-SMiiIlM preceded 'IMillion Man March' By Daniel Kurtzman WASHINGTON (JTA) — Confirming, many of the Jewish community's worst fears, several of the most notorious black anti-Semites in the country are planning a two-day conference prior to the Nation of Islam's upcoming Million Man March. Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan has called on African American men to join him for a "day of atonement" in Washington, D.C., on Oct. J.6 to demonstrate that they will take more responsibility for their communities and commit themselves to a restoration of values. But during the weekend before the march, a "Black Holocaust Nationhood Conference" here is scheduled to feature speakers known for their claims that white racists and Jews are responsible for the problems plaguing the black community. The conference's speakers include some of the most virulent and outspoken anti-Semites and conspiracy theorists in the Afincan American community, including former FarrakHan spokesman Khalid Abdul Muhammad and City College of New York Professor Leonard Jeffries. Jewish groups say the conference confirms the concerns they have had all along — that the march and events surrounding it will create a dangerous en'dronment that promotes the anti-Semitic views of Farrakhan and moves him toward mainstream acceptance. The conference 'underscores the danger and concerns we have about aspects of the march, particularly as it relates to who's organizing it and who's behind it," said Jess Hordes, director of the AntiDefamation League's Washington office. The ADL recently took out full-page newspaper ads, assailing the leader of the march, Farrakhan, for his anti-Semitism and radsm. Hordes said the conference appears particularly inappropriate in light of the march's stated goals of "atonement" and declaration of responsibility. "This is scapegoating, this is bigotry, this is prejudice, and selfhelp can't be built on this kind of foundation," he said. The conference's organizer, Malik Zulu Shabazz, chairinan of the Washington-based Unity Nation, has been quoted saying that Farrakhan has given the conference his blessing and embraced its speakers. Shabazz gained notoriety in the pro-Farrakhan community for leading anti-Semitic chants at Howard University student rallies last year. Shabazz established the Unity Nation while a student at Howard. March organizers reportedly have denied that the conference has any connection to the march. The pre-march conference is scheduled to be held at two public high schools in Washington, D.C. The speakers include teachers, preachers and writers. Muhammad has called Jews 'bloodsuckers," and Jeffries has accused Jews of financing the slave trade and plotting with the Mafia to oppress blacks through racist images in the media. 'The program that's been put together — whether it's with the benign approval of Farrakhan or not — consista of people who have been supporters of his approach and people whose m^or focus is to fan hatred and bigotry against whites and Jews," Hordes said. The conference "undercuts whatever kind of more wholesome message the march's organizers are articulating.'

High court suspends arguments
Rabbis praise, pope
By Matthew Doif WASfflNGTON (JTA) — A last-minute scheduling change made it a little easier for t#o Supreme Cqurt justices to atone for their sins this year. ' For the first time in recent memory, the Supreme Court had been' scheduled to hear oral arguments on Yom Kippur, which would have created a dilemina for the two Jewish justices. The high court instead conducted administrative business and admitted new members to the bar of the Supreme Court that day. No reason was given for the scheduling change. Neither Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg nor Justice Stephen Breyer was present in court on the Day of Atonement. Information about how they spent the Jewish holiday was not available. The court typically followa a preset schedule, convening during the first week of October, which coincided this year with Yom Kippur. Court guidelines permit jtistices to miss a da/s arguments, provided that they bring themselves tip to speed by reviewing transcripts.
By Deblv Nussbaum Cohen NEW YORK (JTA) — When some two dozen Je^sh leaders met with Pope John Paul II here after the Sabbath ended, it appeared as though the meeting was more ceremonial than substantive. However, the gathering gave Jewish leaders an opportunity to relay their concerns personally to the pontiff Tfie post-Shabbat meeting also was an indication of how highly the pope values relations with the Jewish community, given that he squeezed the gathering into his he<itic four-day trip to the United States. ' ' The globe-trotting pope makes a point of meeting with local Jewish leaders wherever he travels. Representatives of Jewish groups met with him in New York at the residence of the city's archbishop. Cardinal John O'Connor.
