ties
expected by end o
NEW YORK (JTA) The Vatican and Israel are expected to sign an agreement establishing formal diplomatic relations by the end of January, according to sources close to the negotiations.
John Cardinal O'Connor, the Archbishopof New York and moderator of Catholic-Jewish relations for the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, told rabbis representing the Synagogue Council of America that he expects the accord to be signed by Jan. 31 "irrespective of the peace process," according to one witness;
"That's important because he's not linking what happens with the PLG and Israel to the Vatican establishing relations" with Israel, said Rabbi Fabian Schonfeld, co-chair of the Synagogue Council's interreligious affairs committee, who attended the Dec. 2 meeting with O'Connor.
According to Avi Granot, the counselor for church affairs and ethnic relations at the Israeli Embassy in Washington, "all that remains is the signing of papers" for diplomatic relations to be finalized.
Working committees composed of Foreign Ministry staff from Israel and
'AH that
IS
remains of papers*
the Vatican were established in June to hammer out the details that would lead to formal relations.
The Israelis prefer to have an agreement signed by the end of 1993,' but the Vatican has been working out "bureaucratic difficulties and has asked for a deadline of January," Granot said.
While the "date has not yet been set, the impression everyone has is that it will not be postponed beyond January." said Granot.
Most of the major issues which had previously posed an obstacle tp diplomatic relations have been resolved, and remaining issues will be dealt with by committees after an agree-ment is signed, he said.
The "premise of the agreement is
that whatever outstanding issues remain will be dealt with by the two parties after the establishment of relations," said Granot.
One outstanding issue for which a special committee will be set up is the question of whether Catholic institutions in Israel will pay taxes. Most, but not all, religious organizations in Israel are.taxed.
One issue of concern to the Israeli government is maintaining the status quo with other Christian denominations.
To avoid upsetting delicate relationships, "goverriment representatives in Israel are meeting with the leaders of other churches and going over the agreement with the Vatican with them so no one will feel it will damage relations," said Granot.
announces plan
in
NEW YORK (JTA) - The goverriment of South Korea will soon normalize relations with Israel, the country's foreign minister has informed a visiting delegation of Jewish leaders. . ,>
South Korean Foreign Minister Han Sung-Joon, meeting with three leaders of the American Jewish Committee's Pacific Rim Institute last week in Seoul, said his country would open an embassy in Tel Aviv shortly and then send an ambassador to Israel. \,
The foreign minister also said his country would expand political, eco-
nomic and cultural ties with Israel. . He added that South Korea is considering playing an active role, including the providing of financial assistance, in the ongoing Middle East peace process.
The AJCoriimittee Pacific Rim Institute leaders were in Japan and South Korea between Dec. I and 3.
Bruce Ramer, chair of the institute, said the comments of the South Korean foreign minister marked a significant change in that country's behavior toward Israel. , .
Two years ago, another Pacific Rim fnstitute delegation visited South Korea and strongly urged the govern-
ment toallo'wIsrael to reopen itsem-. bassy in the South Korean capital.
Israel closed its embassy in Seoul in the late 197bs as part of what it described as a cost-cutting measure.
.When Israel sought to re-open the embassy, the government of South Korea opposed the move for more thain 10 years. Permission for the embassy's reopening was finally granted last year. : .
Seoul has'never before opened an embassy in Israel, Instead, the South Korean government directed its ambassador to Italy to represent the country's interests in Israel.
NEW YORK (JTA) - The malfunctioning Hubble Space Telescope wasn't the only thing spinning in the stratosphere.
Astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman was playing a nationally televised game of dreidel Saturday night aboard the space shuttle Endeavor.
This was not the first voyage of Judaica in space.
Hoffman, 48, who was bom in Brooklyn and grew up in Scarsdale, ■ N.Y., took mezuzahs into space and said special blessings during his first . launch, on the shuttle Challenger in 1985. : .
For this trip, Hoffman also took a menorah and observed Chanukah on the shuttle, but he could not light candles for obvious safety reasons.
The dreidel belongs to Hoffman's synagogue. Congregation Brith Shalom of Houston. The menorah is his own.
Rabbi Shaul Osadchey of the synagogue had called the Johnson Space Center to inquire if the dreidel-spinning would get any television coverage and time was made for that event, said space center.spokeswom-an Barbara Schwartz.
"It was something Jeff wanted to do." said Schwartz, adding that"'Jeff is very active in coliTmunity affairs and in his synagogue," When Hoffman made the first of '
his four trips into space, he took along a specially designed mezuzah, : which orbited the Earth 109 times.
The mezuzah, was donated to the Jewish Museum in New York, con^ tains an inscription from Psalms: "When I consider the heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou has ordained."
At the time of his first flight, Hoffman was an active member of Congregation Shaar Hashalom outside Houston, where he moved in 1978 to be close to the space agency.
The astronaut asked his then rabbi. Arnold Stiebel, to fashion a short .
prayer for him to recite during his first flight:
The prayer, recited in Hebrew, was drawn around "Aleinu":
''Praised art thou. Lord our God, ruler of the universe, who stretches forth the heaven and lays the foundation of the Earth, whose glory is revealed in the heavens above and whose might is manifest in the lofti-■ est part," - ;'
Hoffman studied astronomy at Amherst College, astrophysics at Harvard, and worked on X-ray astronomy at the Massachusetts Insti-tute of Technology and Leicester University in England.

The deportees. who_were suspcct-cd members of die Islamic fundamentalist Hamas and Islamic Jihad moVciucnts. have oecn living, in a
camp at Marj al-Zahour in Lebanon, some two miles north of Israel's security zone.
