This portions continues
with the Moses' third
departing speech. Moses
stresses the binding
nature of the covenant and
warns the people that their
descendants will stray.
G-d will punish them and
they will suffer though not
be destroyed. After the
people repent, G-d will
forgive them and allow
them to return to enjoy all
the blessings of the land.

Genesis 21:1-34
Isaac is born to Sarah and
Abraham. Sarah sees
Ishmael, Abraham's other

insists that they be
banished. Abraham is
reluctant but G-d assures
him that Ishmael will
prosper. Hagar wanders
in the wilderness and
when she sees her son is
about to perish from thirst,
places him under a bush

Leviticus 16

The Torah tells of the
High Priests duties on
Yom Kippur. Only on this
most holy of days, puriﬁed
from ritual defilement
and sin could the High
Priest enter the Holy of
Holies to plead for
forgiveness. Upon the
head of a scapegoat were
placed all the sins of the
people and this goat was
sent into the wilderness to
be killed. How ironic that
through the ages Jews

Sept 17, Haazinu

This chapter is a farewell
song of Moses which is a
beautiful poem. G-d's
faithfulness is in sharp
contrasts to Israel’s
faithlessness. Israel will
be unfaithful and will be
punished. Yet G-d will be
merciful and after Israel
has suffered, she will
return to the land.

Moses is told to go to Mt.
Nebo from where he will
be allowed to look at the
land. Having see the
land, it will be the place of
his death. The ultimate
tragedy is that while no
one worked as hard as

Moses to bring the people to

Moses is denied entrance

BOOK REVIEW

VAN GOGH
by Alma Miller

This biography of
Vincent Van Gogh was written

Ullh’l‘l‘ﬁlf}. and was originally
published in 1969. A concise
edition now available, was
published in 1983 by Harry N.
Abrams, Inc., New York.

Vincent Van Gogh was
born in Holland. but did his first
painting in Arlee. France, before
moving to Paris. As a young
artist. Van Gogh was allied with
the impressionist movement, but
he soon exceeded anything they
had done.

There are sixty-seven
illustrations in the book and
forty color plates. In each. the
author analyzes the length and
depth of Van Gogh's brush
strokes. and the use of color.
There are many self-portraits on
color plates and portraits of the
artist's doctor, his postman and
his landlady. The latter he
painted to pay for his lodgings.

Van Gogh's younger
brother. Theo. supplemented his
income regularly and it is
suggested that this may have led
to his suicide. It was, however.
more likely his life style. He
was an intense and spirited
person. but was unable to
establish a relationship with
G—d. This is suggested in Meyer
Schapiro's analysis of Van

Gogh's last paintings, created a
few months before he died.

ﬁn Gogh by Meyer
Schapiro can be found at Joseph-
Beth, although it is frequently
out-of stock and must be special
ordered.

THE MORNING
AFI‘ER JORDAN

Along with all of the
happiness and excitement during
the past two weeks regarding
peace with Jordan, it is
worthwhile remembering that
there has actually been peace
between us and Jordan for more
than tWenty years; an unofﬁcial
peace, but certainly relations of
almost-peace. Despite the fence
which separates us and the
mines, despite the Jordanian
and Israeli army posts on either
side of the Jordan river, despite
the fact that there are no
official embassies--relations
between the two sides have
been friendly, and at times even
excellent, at the unofﬁcial level.

The meetings were held
not only on the highest level,
that is, the secret meetings
between King Hussein and the
heads of the Israeli Government,
but also on middle and lower
levels, and about almost all of
the issues. Issues starting with
education and religion in the
West Bank and east Jerusalem
were discussed in meetings
between Civil Administration
and Jordanian ofﬁcials and
ending with military issues,
discussed in meetings between
senior ofﬁcers (usually OC
Regional Commands), since
1967.

The ceaseﬁre was the
ofﬁcial status, but it was a
ceaseﬁre in name only, and
generally the relations between
Israel and Jordan were warm
and more cordial than Israel's
relations with Egypt, even after
the signing of the peace
agreement. Ask Israeli Foreign
Ministry ofﬁcials and they will
tell you that, to this day, even

after the Oslo and Cairo
agreements with the PLO and
the Washington Declaration with
Jordan, relations with Egypt
are still cool and reserved. It is
still very hard, sighed one of the
Foreign Ministry ofﬁcials; for
every small thing with the
Egyptians, we still have to
make a tremendous effort, as if
we were still in 1984, and not
1994.

And another issue--
almost any Jordanian citizen
who wants to can cross the
Jordan river bridges into the
West Bank and from there
sometimes into Israel, for
summer vacations or family
visits. It appears that over the
past two decades, tens of
thousands of Jordanians have
visited the West Bank, east
Jerusalem, and Israel within the
Green Line. It is hard to
compare the nature of these
relations with that of Israel with
Syria. or Iraq.

FROM MASTER
TO NEIGHBOR

And despite the great
and genuine excitement that we
are ﬁnally free of the noose
which surrounded us on all sides
--Egypt, the Palestinians,
Jordan, and apparently soon
Syria and Lebanon--the
important question we must ask
ourselves over the next few
years is, 'Are we really a part of
all of this, are we of the Middle
Eastern region which encircles
us, or will we remain connected
by a cable to the West?‘ Indeed,
since 1948 Israel has been in
the position of 'My heart is in
the West, and I in the farthest
East.’ Is it possible after all of
these years of Western
orientation, years of being told
that we are a 'light unto the
nations' in the Middle East, of
democracy, of personal freedom,
of freedom of the press and
what not, that we are different
and special, and that we
actually meant for ourselves to
become a Western fortress
surrounded by Eastern enemies,
will we really be able to ﬁt in
here?

To 'ﬁt in', meaning not
only that we feel that we are an
indivisible part of the region,
but that our neighbors feel the
same way. That we will not use
the Arab slang of the building
contractors: 'Ahmed, give me the
hammer', Muhammad, mix the
cement', 'Yusuf. pick the red
tomatoes', but know how to
speak their language with a
feeling of equality, to use polite
phrases, to join in their
neighbors' sadness and
celebrations; not as a boss who
is worrying that Ahmed and
Yusuf will not be able to make it
to work tomorrow, but as an act
of good neighborIiness. These
type of relations are not created
from nothing. Many of us still
look down upon the Arabs, and
many Arabs behave towards us,
if not as enemies, then at least
like complete strangers, 'Ajnabi',
which means stranger in Arabic.
It is possible that friendly
relations might not develop
during this generation, and
maybe not even during the next,
as a result of one hundred years
of bitter and blood-soaked
conﬂict. But one thing is clear:
tourism, trips to hotels and local
sites, are not all that it takes to
form true relations.

TIBERIAS
BEFORE TURKEY

The main problem has
remained the same and will
remain so: Jewish-Palestinian
relations within the Mandatory
lines of Israel, and somewhat
less important, the relations
between Israel and the nations
surrounding her, also-~and

maybe most importantly--after
the sigiing of agreements with

them. Soon, perhaps in another
few months, or a year, we will be
left with a feeling of the
'morning after'. following a

hangover from the excess of
alcohol from the peace
celebrations; and then we will be
convinced. apparently. that the
very goal that we thought was
impossible-peace with Arab
nations--is actually much easier
than establishing regular, equal
day-to-day relations with our
closest neighbors, the
Palestinians in the territories
and within Israel.

The Palestinians in the
territories, in Gaza, in the West
Bank and in east Jerusalem,
have already sobered up from
the temporary shock they
received with the arrival of
Arafat. They are convinced that
the return of the diaspora PLO
leaders is not necessarily going
to help solve their problems,
and may even exacerbate them.
This is Yasser Arafat's main
test, and until now he has not
received a passing grade, from
the Palestinians' viewpoint.
More than a few of them were
concerned with the prospects of
his return years ago, out of
familiarity with his inconsistent
personality. These days, more
and more Palestinians in the
territories are joining those who
oppose and doubt Arafat and the
effectiveness of the agreement
he signed.

For us, living together
means, ﬁrst of all, together or
without the Palestinians. It is
much more signiﬁcant for an
Israeli to be able to drive safely
to 'I‘iberias by way of the Jordan
Valley, or to Beer-Sheva by way
of Hebron, than to be able to
drive with his family through
Syria in order to get to Turkey.
or to pass over Jordanian and
Saudi Arabian air space on the
way to the Far East. If it
appears that--soon--we will be
in the last stages of signing an
agreement with the Jordanians,
we are still, to our sadness, at
the beginning of the road with
the Palestinians, despite the
fact that the ﬁrst obstacle to
mutual recognition has already
been overcome.

THE BOILING AND

THE EXPLOSION
We have not even
started to discuss the issue of
settlements, we have not
touched the Jerusalem issue, we
have not solved the problem of
safe passage for Palestinians
between the Strip and the West
Bank, fair distribution of water,
and more. These are questions
concerning their and our fate.
During the past few weeks,
public discussions in the West
Bank have focused on the
question of free press and the
closing of east Jerusalem daily,

INTERNATIONAL NEWS"

'An- Nahar.‘ This is a difﬁcult
problem for the Palestinians,
who over the past 27 years of
Israeli occupation became
accustomed to the beginning of

variety and pluralism in
expressing opinions. The
Palestinians living in the

territories and east Jerusalem
reached the point where they
were getting used to a certain
amount of pluralism despite the
harassment, annoyances and
heavy hand of the censor and
the Israeli administration, which
not only censured--sometimes
out of proportion--but also
closed newspapers, deported
journalists, and imposed heavy
ﬁnes on newspaper editors. But
the real problems have been
swept under the rug and have
yet to be uncovered; the nature
of these problems is that they
peak out, and very bitterly,
especially at times when we
least expect them--and when it
is least convenient.

It is more and more
apparent that the Palestinian
enclave's temporary
arrangement in the Gaza Strip
and Jericho does not even
constitute a temporary solution.
and with the accumulation of
economic problems in the Strip.
this arrangement is likely, in the
very near future. to explode.
And we should not be surprised.
like we were at the onset of the
intifada. Among the
Palestinians in the territories.
great agitation is brewing, at
this stage still under the surface,
although it seems that if the
implementation of the
agreement between the
Palestinians and the Israelis is
not speeded up. we will reach
the boiling and explosion points
in the next few months.
Palestinian agitation has two
targets: Arafat and his advisors,
who are not realizing the hopes
they aroused; and Israel, which
is not rushing to carry out and
advance the agreement, and
instead is putting all of its
efforts into dealing with the
Jordanians and the Syrians.

The forces which oppose
Yasser Arafat and the current
leadership, are made up of a
strange coalition, as it were, of

previous Fatah supporters
(among them well-known
leaders like Abu-Mazen.

Abu-Ala, Farouq Qadumi, the al-
Hasan brothers, and other local
previous Fatah supporters like
Hanan Ashwari and others);
'The People's Party‘ members
(Previous Communists); Front
supporters (the people's and
democratic); together with
extremist Islamic supporters
(Hamas and Islamic Jihad). This
opposition is dangerous not only
for Arafat, whose supporters are
becoming more and more

disappointed with him, but also
for the peace agreement as a
whole.

ARAFAT IS EVEN CLOSER

Peace with the
Palestinians also brings our
attention to Israeli Arabs. with
whom supposedly there are no
problems. The sit-in protest by
the heads of Local Arab
Councils in Israel in front of the
Prime Minister's ofﬁce, in
protest of the blatant
discrimination and continuing
contempt which has been going
on for years in this sector,
demonstrates that the agitation
is beginning also among the
Palestinians with whom we live.
They intend to send a
delegation to Geneva to protest
the lack of equality in budgets
for local councils, and their
meetings with foreign
ambassadors—~for the ﬁrst time
since HMS—demonstrate their
intention to escalate their
struggle, and not the opposite.

We can expect the
hardest of the future stages of
the peace process right here at
home, within the area which was
the Land of Israel during the
Mandate. 'Charity and beating
begin at home,‘ wrote John
Fletcher in the 17th century.
And at the end of the ceremonies
in the Arava. the royal ﬂights
over Israel, the smiles, the
speeches and handshakes, ”the
announcements aim“"“3abi§m‘a’%
which are repeated every so
often, we will be forced to
return to the gray reality of the
growing problems and pressures
of the Palestinians here. To the
real problems. which inﬂuence
all of our daily lives, 'back to
square one', as the American
baseball saying goes.

And here we will not be
as comfortable as we are with
the strong relations being
renewed with Jordan, and we
will not be able to avoid the
issue for long. Beneath King
Hussein's white beard. his smile
and.his Oxford English, lurk
Arafat's sparse beard, angry
declarations and Palestinian
English. We should remember
the adage. 'A close neighbor is
better than a distant brother'
which exists in both Hebrew and
Arabic; despite the fact that
Hussein is a pretty close
neighbor, Arafat, what can we
do, is even closer.

HE FOUND
HIS NEW
VOCATION

Interviewed by Elena Domatov
Photographs by Alexander Orlov

Arkadiy Rubin came to
Lexington from Moscow one and
one-half years ago. He and his
wife Ludmila were met by their
relatives and representatives of
the local community. Arkadiy
faced complicated problems as
he began a new life in America.
The ﬁrst main problem was the
language barrier. He spoke
Russian perfect and some
German but high English wasn't
suﬁicient for the active life he
wanted to have in America.
Attending English classes at the
University of Kentucky, he
comprehended that to learn
English would not be easily
solved. that it would take a lot of
time and energy. Learning
English was important because
he had a desire to do something
useful with his new life in
America.

Arkadiy quietly and
thoroughly analyzed his past
life. which had been difficult.
While living in Russia he solved
many problems. He recalled the
severe days of the Second World
War, when he ﬁnished the
Moscow High School and studied
at the Studio for Visual Arts
Then Arkadiy, by his own
choice. participated in the war
in order to fight fascism.
Because oi his show of
fortiﬁcation and braveness in
battle he was awarded eleven
orders and medals. After the
war he studied at Moscow
University. Upon graduation he
practiced at enterprises, at
science-research institutes and
Moscow institutions. This great
creative work resulted in the
writing of more than 100
scientiﬁc books. brochures and
articles in the.
legislation, management and

.-
’

Oﬂl

areas of ‘

organization of supervised jobs. ~

At the same time, Arkadiy
prepared and defended a
candidate's and doctoral
dissertation for which he was
rewarded the scientiﬁc degree of
candidate and doctor of science
and then titled as a lecturer and
professor.

Coming to Lexington,
Arkadiy started seeking new
ways of self‘expression. It
became clear to him that he
wouldn't be able to write
scientific books, articles or to
deliver lectures here. because
English was still a new language
to him. To express everything
that he saw in the wonderful.
free country of America, Arkadiy
decided to express himself
through visual art Most of the
