Ereiz l'fSKi(&r is t of Judaism, for Jews have never forgotten the Promised Land. They say in their prayeis: "Next year in JerusaiwjL**. So: iwhy arenV they coming This is a pathological situation.
People in Israel tend to blame the economic situation — but because there was one Rothschild, you can't say that all Jews are wealthy. How many Mercedes cars did the Jews of the Yemen own? How many swimming pools were there in the Polish ghettoes? And why is itthat people think that if you! conie to^ve in Israel, you will automatically be poor? NO, this is not the reason.
People say it is because of the-
military situation aftd^ that erefz ITyw^is dangeiro Iftit Jews live in the most dangerous places in the world. There are those who say that Israel is not religious enough, and; there ate those who, say that it is tpo religious! ; - . • Some say it is ndt-sufficiently Socialist — while others say it is top socialist! Some call us occupiers of Arab . land — others complain because we are not killing enough Arabs!
Each faction has its own explanation of why it is not coming. Each* can say that it has its own dream of what Israel should be like. But they have one important comirion deno^ minator: They are not coming!
This refusal to come to Israel has been constant since the time of the Second Temple. It is a malady which is deep in our veins because there has always been a superficial, excuse ready without trying to look deeper into the malady; We arc struggling

'Red OiclKstii' M
TEL AVIV — Leopold (Leib) Trepper, conductor of the famous -Red (hthcstra^ the Soviet-backed Conununist intelligence network which operated under the noses oftheNazis duringWorld War n and which Nazi intelligence officials said was responsible for the deaths of over 200,000 German soldiers died recently in Jerusalem at the age of 77.
It wasTrepper's spy ring, dubbed by the Nazis as the **Red Orchestra," which reportedly warned theKreni-lin of Hitler's plan to invade the Soviet Union. But these reports were discounted by Stalin. v. :
The "Red Orchestra," of nearly 300 agents, including a large number of Jews, was active throughout
France, Germany, Holland and Belgium. Only 77 of its members survived the war. The "Orchestra" was broken when Trepper was betrayed and arrested by the Ges- ' tapo. He escaped and became active ' in the French resistance movement until the liberation of Paris. On his return to the Soviet Union after the war, he was arrested and kept in prison until Stalin's death in 1953.
When Trepper was finally released from a Moscow prison (Trepper's family believed he was dead) he returned to Poland, but with the rise of anti-Semitism there he began a long struggle for permission to emigrate to Israel. He was finally allowed to leave in 1974 and joined hiS; family in Jertisalem. JTA.

(Continaed lirom PilgeS) peace process and, its detehnination, to arm the Saudis with AWACS and' other highly dangerous: weappniry, has played a counterproductive role in the region. Begin, himself, was reported as shocked thatl in the immediate aftenoath of the tragedy in Cauro, the ReagdA Administration would use the assassination as a ploy : for i^]^g siijpiport for thie Sai^ arass' sale. In the view of Jerstaatem-
strated anything^ it was the tenuous hold that Arab leaders have on their nations. The traigedyin Egypt should seirve warning to the U.S. that providing lethal arms to a corrupt . and unstable regime in Riyadh could result in even more dangerous consequences.
Right now, however, it is the time element and not necessarily Mul>a-rak's personal outlook that poses the major problem for Israel. The Camp David Accords specify that Israel must evacuate the remainder of the Sinai by April 28. By that time the • Begin goyernment had hoped to clear up some of the 'pressing questions. It is, now faced with the grim prospect of paying its last, and most important card without resolving some major issues. Theise include extracting a workable agreement on autonomy for the West Bank and Gaza, and strengthening the {formalization ties between the two countries. . ;/^ ,./,A''.::VivIv^
Aftera ten-monith suspen^iion, the autonomy talks were resumed in i September. A, clear understanding over-the nature *of self^nile -for; the Palestinians, still remains td be reached.. Also, .Israel has sieyeral complaints over the state of itUateral relations, ^particularly concerning the lack of trade and the facilitation of tourism. Heretofore, it required the direct and personal intervention of Sadat in order tp break through some of the political and bureaucratic logjams in the negotiations.
Understandably^ Mubarakr.wiU be .
more concerned ih^ near future with consolidating his political base and dealing with his foes, both in Egypt and in the Arab world. It is therefore thought unlikely that any meaningful progress can be made between Israel and Egypt over autonomy and normalization. That I^yes the Likud government on the horns of a dilemma: either act .out .the final withdrawal from Sinai 'without exerting any leverage on the ^ - peace process, or postpone the final pullback from Sinai^ thereby violating a contractual agreement and risk incurring the enmity of the new regime in Cairo and with it the wrath; of the Western world.
In the coming weeks Begin will face an increasing volley of criticism r and : challenges, "some of, it from' within the government cpalition, to unilaterally halt the peace p^rocess^. Several leading Knesset members have voiced caution and apprehension over the peace process during this period of transition. Knesset foreign affurs comihittee chairman stated that ho final moves should be I : made until future Egyptian intentions have been clarified beyond doubt. Leaders of the right-wing Tehiya party find hew impetus for their demands that the government■•. abandon the autonomy talks and renounce its ihtentions to quit Sinai;
The "stop the withdrawal" naove-ment amongst the Sinai settlers, organized primarily by the ultra-luitionalist Otish Emunim, who have -sent squatters to the settlement region,' can be expected to gain ntpmentum and broader political support than it now enjoys. And as the April.deadline approaches, so too does the grim scenario of > violence marking the evacuation of the Sinai settlers. The events in Egypt have girded the opponents of Camp -David with even greater political conviction in the justice of their cause. A bloody battle in the Sinai pitting Jewish soldiers against Jewish settfers woiildi m tfie ^piiiiom
of many observers, shake the fragile coalition in Jerusalem and possibly spell the collapse of the Begin government.
The killing of Sadat has left Begin walking a political tightrope. Should he postpone the April deadline, he risks yet another setback in U.S.-, ]|sraeli relations and the prospect of angering the new Egyptian governr ment at a time when Mubarak will need all the incentive he can get for pursuing thecourse of peace. Should Begin fulfill the contractual agreement— to which he has repeated his allegiance since returning from Egypt — he risks not realizing an autonomy/accord as the Likud would have it, i.e., one that keeps the T;West £fan^;.ar«di: Gaza firmly under Israelicontrol, and the prospect of his government's fall over the handling of the Sinai evacuation. ^ Israeli leaders hope that the U.S. will now step forth and play a more meaiiingful and constructive part in advandng the peace process, and thereby strengthening America's postnre in theregion. The announcement that the U.S. and Egypt will hold joint military exercises on Egyptian soil next month was taken ; here ab a positive step. Of course, Israel is anxious for the U.S. to go ahead in its commitment to enhance strategic cobperaition with the IDF as well. They would'alsp like to see America notify its European allies that their mischievous courting of -the PLO and the Arab rejectionists will no longer be countenanced.
Sadat's murder has left a gaping void in the Middle East, and some nagging questions in Jerusalem. Officials here are concerned that Israel may now be called upon, by the U.S. and others, to make concessions\to Egypt in order to shore up Mubarak's position and relieve the internal pressures he faces. But for the time being, the response from Israel is to gauge the situation carefully and proceed cautiously, v.-■ .v:^^-.
with something deeply rooted in the structure of the Jewish people, and We must find oiit hbw we came to be in a situation for which we have paid' so dearly.
I look at Jewish history and see it as a failure. Six million were murdered and there was nothing that could have been done to prevent it. If one million British subjects were killed, wouldn't Mrs. . Thatcher resign? So why did no one resign after the Holocaust?
No one. has accepted the responsibility: Whenever we fail, we blame Jewish fate. After such a failure, we have the right to open up Judaism and re-examine it thoroughly. The definition ofaJew as the child ■ of a Jewish mother is a very narrow ; one. No one would define a British person as being "a child of a British mother." To be British, you have to be connected to thi^ British framework, to be eligible for conscription into the British army, etc. Next to this come the religious and cultural concepts of Judaism and there is a conflict between the two definitions which the Diaspora is helping to avoid.
In exile, these two elements can co-exist within the nonrJewish situation in which we live. In exile, you can control the volume of your Judaism; today you can be a Jew and tomorrow you can disappear from Jewish life.. Yet you cannot be more ' or less British, for you are locked into your British situation and your lifestyle is British. Exile provides the Jews with an opportunity to live in an uncpmmitted situation.
People should not say, "Next year in Jerusalem," if they do not mean it. Don't be dishonest with us Israelis, with yourself or with the Gentiles around you. By living in an uncpm* mitted situation, you are escaping from yoiir responsibilities.
Our hands in Israel may not be ?I||PM^ ati Jjieast^ resi>onsible for whaiever we do. You have to stop being dishonest with yourself ' " \
