ifearsome cjefensive end for the Los Angeles Raiders and one of the few JewisH standouts in pro football, has died in Lake Oswego, Ore. at 43.

Alzadp told an interviewer some years ago that his mother and her parents, who immigrated from Russia, were Orthodox Jews, and that "I follow Judaism, but I don't study enough." Fora time, he was active in the Jews for Judaism anti^ cult movement. : Standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 265 pounds at top form, Alzado had lost 100 pounds by the time of his death. His fierce style of playing seemed to epitomize the Raiders.

problem, never resorted to such a remedy. ' One has to conclude: poking fun at Quebec's legal, absurdities is not perceived ks "politically correct'% it puts one on the side of the anti-French rednecks.
What this reviewer misses is any reference to the ipr-gotteh man of Quebec "small 1" liberalism — Jean Charles Harvey, editor of Le Jour.
In those years, he was the lone voice iiTthe wilderness who took on Abbe Groulx and called him what he was ..— a bigot. Also, though the notes and sources are in good supply; the book lacks an index.
Riehler is a bold and fearless writer who has lifted the rock and pointed out the ugliness that lies underneath.
BEHALOTKHA   - -
EFRAT, Israel — WHAT if one of the leading rabbis of our generation, an important Talmudic scholar, a scion of important rabbinic families of the last 500 years, would divorce his wife and choose to remarry an Ethiojjiantmmi-grant, her mahogany skin a sharp contrast to his paler

Would there be an angry uproar, journalists unable to get enough tidbits to fill their tabloids, endless gossip in religious circles?
Although it's unlikely that such a scenario would transpire in the near future, if we want to imagine the quality of the reactioii,aU we have to do is turn to this week's, portion of. Behalotkha,y/hcK we read, And Miriam and A aron spoke against Afoses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman*' (Numbers 12:1).
This woman's identity is discussed by the commentators. Rashi identifies her as Tziporah, the woman to whom Moses was already married, but with vyhom he stopped living the moment he became a prophet.
Others, lilce the IbnCaspi,interpret the incident more in line with our hypothetical introduction. He claims that MOSes actually took a second wife, a black Cushite — Cush being the biblical niame of Ethiopia.
And Miriam and Aaron portray Moses as a husband who divorces or abandons his first wife in search of someone different, more exotic, in ah attempt to emphasize tht fact that Moses is not really speciah "Is it to Moses exblusiyefy that G'd speaks? Doesn't He also speak to us " (Numbers 12:2/. [::-\-..V';;;:
Upon hearing their words, G-d rebukes them, explaining the enormous difference between the immediacy of the prophecy of Moses in contradistinction to the other prophets who receive their messages in visions or dreams.
In the end, the leprosy meted out to Miriam as punishment for her slander is limited to seven days because of Moses' intervention: **Pkase G-d heal her now."
The fundamental moral message of this recounting is the evils of slander. However, there is a sub-topic which is of extreme contemporary interest; Moses is condemned by his sister and brother (according to Ibn Caspi) for taking an )ian — black — wife! Today in modern Israel I have

already performed a number of marriages between "white Israelis and "black Ethiopian" Israelis. What is the torah view? ■„'■■ ■
After Jacob receives the new name of Israef from G-d for wrestling with the angel. He blesses Jacob, " . . . lani G-d Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply, A nation and a congre-gatiori of nations will come into existence from you . . ." (Gen. 301). •■.;/■.
Perhaps it took more than 2,000 years of Jewish Wandering for thisparticular verse to be seen in its clearest, simplest meaning.
Arriving in Israel after pur long exile, we Jews are notonly a nation, butalso a congregation of nations: Russians, Moroccans, Tunisians, Persians, Americans, English, and rio\y Ethiopians, and all Jews!
Indeed, there is no color line in Israel; there is a color continuum. If anyone wants to witness the colors of Israel's rainbow, he should come to any bus station, or pray at the Wall, and disce;rn the coloring of Jews starting perhaps with fairskinned, often blond-haired Scandinavian Jews, moving on to the slightly darker/Russians, Moroccan, Yemenites, Indians and finally the black Ethiopian Jews. :
Jews have a natural rainbow in their very own garden, but it's something we didn't always understand when we were growing up in the sheltered living rooms of Newark or Newcastle or New Haven. We are a lot more diversified, exotic and strange than weimightim^gihe if our sense of tribe is limited to ah arrangement of unclesand aunts pacing the smorgasbord table at our last Bar of Bat-Mitzvah.
The exodus of thousands of black Ethiopians, many robed in white, clutching canes like prophets, the \yhite turbaned priests carrying their Bible in the Gez language, the women with heads covered and long robes, strange tatoos on their faces or arms, should easily convincethe most resistant to the wonders of Judaism that there is more to this people, nation, religion, than meets the eye. *
MoTcovpT, Operation Sdlomdn was the first time in History that people from Africa were transported to another country not to make them slaves but to make theih free! So much for the "Zionism is Racism" lie!
From a religio-legal perspective, more than hi00 years ago, Eldad Hadani was the fffst to report on the existence of Jews in the land of Cush. According to his account, these Ethiopians were from the tribe of Dan, famed as warriors.
When the 10 tribes of Samaria.rebelled against the Judeari Rchoboam, son of King bfSolomon, in an attempt to crown Jeroboam as king, they wanted Pan to fight with them. But the idea of fighting against the son of King Solomon and grandson of King David was anathema to them. Many of the tribe of Dan solved their dilemma by escaping from it, and that's how the tribe of Dan ended up in Ethiopia.
An accepted halakhic authority, Eldad Hadani is cited by such figures as Ray Tzemach Gaon, Rabenu Ghananel, Raishi and otherRishdnimi Early Authorities). On this basis
