Annual Menorah Lighting
Ceremony Held At Capitol
WASHINGTON (JTA) - The third
annual lighting ceremony of the
national menorah in Lafayette
Square directly across the street
from the White House was held
Sunday afternoon.
There was no Administration
official present at this year's cere-
mony.
The lack of representation from
the Reagan Administration was in
contrast to previous years - the
festivities at the first lighting at the
tall nine-branched brass menorah
erected by the American Friends of
Lubavitch in 1979; and last year
when Stuart Eizenstat and Alfred
Moses represented the Carter Ad-
ministration.
Directly across the street in the
White House, President and Mrs.
Reagan were hosting a gala after-
noon featuring young opera singers
from the New York City Opera
Company, MCed by its director
Beverly Sills. The program in the
festively decorated East Room
ended with the singing of Christmas
carols.
In spite of chilly temperatures, as
: well, a crowd of over 100 Jews of all
ages gathered for the lighting and
dancing to the accompaniment of
Kol Chaim Hassadic Orchestra of
Baltimore.MD. The traditional bles-
sings were led by Rabbi Shmuel

ARAB, JEWISH STUDENTS
CLASH AT HEBREW U.
JERUSALEM (JTA) - Hundreds
of Jewish and Arab students clashed
Sunday night at the Mt. Scopus
campus of the Hebrew University in
Jerusalem. Five students, three
Arabs and two Jews were hospital-
ized for treatment. Police held one
Arab student suspected of attacking
a Jewish student with a knife.
The tension in the Jerusalem
campus between Jews and Arabs -
which is high anyway - rose in the
past week because of the Golan law.
It increased over the weekend after
a controversy over the loudness of a
music played in the student dormi-
tories.
Leaders of the National student
union - demanded that three Arab
students, blamed as responsible for
the clash, be suspended from
studies. Otherwise, the student
leaders warned, they would launch a
general strike in Israel's uni-
versities.

Alexeeva Joins Sakharov's Son In Boston
BOSTON � Liza Alexeeva, daughter-in-law of Soviet dissident
Andrei Sakharov who was granted permission to leave Russia, was
reunited with her husband Sunday at Logan Airport.
A Brandeis University graduate student in mathematics,
Semyonov, who resides in Newton, married Alexeeva last June in a
proxy ceremony. The couple had not seen each other in three years.
Andrei Sakharov and his wife, Yelanda Bonner, held a 17-day
hunger strike to focus international attention on the Soviet's refusal to
grant Alexeeva an exit visa to join her husband.
Upon her arrival Alexeeva expressed her gratitude to the American
government and to all who helped her emigrate. She urged continued
support for Soviet dissidents and continued pressure by Western
nations to prevent reprisals against Sakharov and his wife.

ISRAEL (JTA) - The future of
relations with Washington was a
subject of serious concern here fol-
lowing Premier Menachem Begin's
unprecedented attack on the Reagan
Administration for suspending the
U.S.-Israel strategic cooperation
agreement. But there was indica-
tions that both sides would like to
cool the situation.
The status of the agreement
remained uncertain. Begin accused
the Administration of "abrogating"
it to "punish" Israel for its annexa-
tion of the Golan Heights a week ago
and declared that this made the pact
"null and void."
The Cabinet did not formally
ratify Begin's statement but, ac-
cording to a close aide "no one
expressed any reservations or
objections" at Sunday's session.
Cabinet Secretary Arye Noor told
reporters later that the premier's
Super Sunday

Boston (CJP) on Sunday, Jan. 10, at
the Boston Park Plaza Hotel from 10
a.m.-9:30 p.m. The day will be
divided into six two-hour phoning
sessions.
"Super Sunday," as the phone-a-
thon is called, is expected to raise
over $1 million to support some 75
local, national and overseas agen-
cies of CJP. Last year CJP raised
over $15 million in its annual
campaign.
TV personalities attending will be
Harvey Leonard, Roy Reiss, Mike
Levitt of Channel 7; Frank Avruch,
Dick Albert, Tom Ellis and his
wife, Arlene of Channel 5; and
Channel 4's political satirist Dick
Flavin.
Also participating will be Govern-
or Edward J. King; Boston Bruins
star Terry O'Reilly; WRKO's Norm
Nathan and two musical celebrities,
Boston Pops associate conductor,
Harry Ellis Dickson and Boston
Symphony Orchestra's assistant
conductor, Joseph Silverstein.
This will be a fun day for all ages.
Day care will be provided from 10:00
a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for children ages
3-6. Shuttle vans will be available
from the Jewish Community Centers
in Chelsea, Brookline and Brockton.
Space is limited.
CJP is the central planning,
budgeting and fundraising arm of
the Boston Jewish Community.
Agencies of CJP provide a broad
spectrum of humanitarian services
both in the Greater Boston com-
munity and in Israel.

statement has the "validity" of a
Cabinet decision even though not
formally endorsed. It was learned,
however, that discussion was cut
short because Begin was in severe
pain from his recent hip surgery.
Division Over Begin's Statement
Nevertheless, the Cabinet appears
to be divided over Begin's caustic
statement to U.S. Ambassador
Samuel Lewis, later made public, an
unprecedented departure from
normal practice. Some ministers
told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency
privately that they were pleased
with Begin's performance because
the Administration's "punishment"
of Israel was "disproportionate"
and intended to please and appease
the Arabs. One minister contended it
would galvanize American Jewish
support behind Israel.
There had been an uncomfortable
awareness here that the organized
American Jewish community was
less than enthusiastic over Israel's
Golan law. But there were also
strong feelings here that Begin had
"gone too far" in his bitter catalog-
ing of Israel's grievances against
the U.S.

Jewish Leaders Urge US
To Cancel Suspension
NEW YORK (JTA) - Howard
Squadron, chairman of the Confer-
ence of Presidents of Major Ameri-
can Jewish Organizations, has sent a
telegram to President Reagan
requesting a meeting for his organ-
ization "to discuss the apparent
deterioration in the relationship
between our country and our
country's friend and ally, Israel."
Squadron's request followed the
announcement last week that the
United States suspended its agree-
ment on strategic cooperation with
Israel because Israel had failed to
consult with the U.S. before it
annexed the Golan Heights. Other
Jewish leaders also attacked the
Administration's move.
At a press conference here,
Squadron also criticized the U.S.
vote in the United Nations Security
Council the day before supporting a
Syrian-drafted resolution declaring
Israel's action in annexing the Golan
"null and void" and threatening to
take "appropriate measures" if the
decision was not reversed. "We are
deeply disturbed that our country
has joined the lynch mob at the UN

Mitterand To Postpone
Official Visit To Israel
PARIS, (JTA) -- President
Francois Mitterrand has decided to
postpone his official visit to Israel in
February to protest against an-
nexation of the Golan Heights,
diplomatic sources said. The
Foreign Ministry called the report
"premature" but refused to deny it.
The sources said Mitterrand in-
formed Arab League Secretary
General Chadli Klibi of his decision
during a meeting in Paris last week.
They said Mitterrand would put off
announcing his decision for about
two weeks so as not to embarrass
Israel publicly. His official visit, due
to start Feb. 10, would be the first to
Israel by a French President.
The sources said Mitterrand
wanted to wait until the present
storm of protests against Israel over
the annexation calmed down before
making his announcement. "The
President wants this to be strictly
government-to-government, he
doesn't want it played on the world
stage," a source said.
A carefully worded Ministry
statement, released six hours after
the report circulated said the
President's trip would be reviewed
in the light of a United Nations
debate in early January on the
annexation. "The debate could be
used as a pretext for postponing the
visit but the real reason is already
known," a source said, referring to
the annexation.
The Foreign Ministry statement
said: "The president has said for a
long time he would go to Israel. It is
generally known that this visit will
