"You can't ask them (Israel) to negotiate with someone who's sitting on the opposite side of the table saying that they start from the negotiating position that Israel doesn't have any right to exist," Reagan said at his nationally televised press conference from the East Room of the White House. "And this is the main thing," the President added, Community Tu B'Shevat Celebration To Be Held On Jan. 26 At Center „ T" B'Shevat, '.'The New Year of the Trees," celebrated this year on Jan. 25, signals the coming of spring in Israel, a time when the rains have let up and the flowers are making their debut, on the hillsides and on the almond trees. During Tu B'Shevat, 200,000 schoolchildren, teachers, Ethiopian immigrants and Israelis from all walks of life plant tree sap- Rabbi Maurice Lamm To Be Scholar At Weekend Shabbaton At Agudas Achim Synagogue Rabbi Maurice Lamm will be the scholar for the Scho- lar-in-Residence Shabbaton sponsored by the Agudas Achim Synagogue in conjunction'with the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregation of America on Feb. 14 and 15. Susan S. _ Diamond and Robert H. * Schottenstein, chairpersons, stated that the Agudas Achim is pleased to be joining with the Orthodox Union in bringing this rabbi, author and lecturer of national reputation to serve as the scholar-in-residence. The theme for Rabbi Lamm's sessions will be "Challenges of the 80s." Rabbi Lamm, former rabbi of Beth Jacob Congregation, Beverly Hills, is president of the National Institute for Jewish Hospice and a professor at Yeshiva University in New York, holder of the chair in Profes-. sional Rabbinics. He is most widely known as the author of The Jewish Way in Love and Marriage and The Jewish Way in Death and Mourning, rated one of the seven best Jewish books in 1969 by the New .York Times and listed among the Jewish best sellers by Moment Magazine in 1979. Rabbi Lamm's first book, I Shall Glorify Him, a companion-volume to Herman Wouk's This Is My God, is now out-of-print. Rabbi Lamm was vice president of the Rabbinical Council of America, past president of the Board of Rabbis of Southern California, and past dean of Rambam Torah Institute, a founder of the Jewish Television Network and Bet Ze- dek Legal Association. He is founder and chairman of the Los Angeles Jewish Hospice (CONTINUEb ON'PAGE HI lings at 40 Jeiyish National . Fund sites from the Golan Heights in the north to Eilat in the south. Included among the many festivities are major ceremonies in JNF forests with government ministers gnd Knesset members. On the eve of Tu B'Shevat, a gala community sing-a-long, including a program on afforestation' with the Jewish National Fund World Chairman Moshe Rivlin, will be broadcast live over Voice of Israel. In America, Jews all over the country participate in Tu B'Shevat celebrations by contributing towards the afforestation- activities creating new life on Israel's sacred soil. In Columbus, in cooperation with the Israel/ Judaic department of the Leo Yassenoff Jewish Center, the Columbus Council of JNF will sponsor a community Tu B'Shevat celebration at the Center on Sunday, Jan. 26, between 1-3 p.m. The festivities will include the exhibition of the local school children's art and poetry, depicting their impression of Israel and/or Tu B'Shevat within the theme of '.'The Unity of Israel" and a Tu B'Shevat Seder. The community is invited, and there is no fee to attend. Tu B'Shevat, symbolizing the resettlement and regen= eration of the land, is associated with the accomplishments of Jewish National Fund's afforestation program. This program has resulted in 170 million trees being planted since 1901 and an additional four to five million being planted each year, Trees play q major role in the reclamation of the Land of Israel. They increase oxygen and break the desert wind velocity, preserving the soil in the Negev. In northern Israel, the Galilee, trees stand as barriers against winds that ravage slopes of their fertile layers of top soil. Trees mean more moisture in the soil, prevent a rapid run-off of rain water, provide shade, reinvigorate the soil and air, help shelter border communities and provide shelter for wildlife. In addition, they provide raw materials for farms and factories and offer immigrants,, many of whom work in JNF forests, their first economic • foothold in their new land. The most obvious attribute of trees planted in Israel is the aesthetic beauty provided to JNF forests, parks, playgrounds and picnic areas. The community is encouraged to plant trees for Tu B'Shevat honoring or memorializing loved ones. Call Jewish National Fund, 231-1397. "it's the reason why we have not felt free to talk with Arafat either until he gives up that position." Reagan also reiterated the U.S. position that the PLO must accept United Nations Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338. Reagan discussed the Palestinian situation in response to a question after he announced that he had signed an executive order imposing a total trade ban on Libya and urging the 1,000 to 1,500 Americans still in Libya to leave immediately or be subject to legal penalties. "By providing material support to terrorist groups which attack U.S. citizens, Libya has engaged in armed aggression against the United States under established principles of international law, just as if he (Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi) had used its own armed forces," Reagan said. But the President refused to say whether,he would use military force against Libya, indicating that he was concerned that the Americans still in Libya were potential hostages. ' The Palestinian issue was raised when it was suggested that Palestinians might get rid of foreign occupation by emulating U.S.-backed freedom fighters in Afghanistan - and the Contras" in Nicaragua. "The peaceful way is the thing we've been trying to promote," Reagan replied, "the idea of peace between the Arab states and .Israel. And we have emphasized from the very first that the problem of the Palestinians must be part of any solution." But Reagan added that there are thousands of Palestinians in almost every Arab country and in some they are almost a majority. "And in many of these countries they are not made citizens," he said. Reagan said these Pale-! stinians "seem to be content with where they're living, but those that became refugees, the great refugee camps that we found in Lebanon ... are literally people without a country and we think there has to be a solution found for them." Center Receives City Beautiful Award The Leo Yassenoff Jewish Center, 1125 College Ave., was one of the 11 winners to receive the 1985 City Beautiful Award on Jan. 6. "We are thrilled to be among those who are helping to enhance Columbus, and we are especially proud of this award," states Center President Dr. Al Tyroler. The City Beautiful Awards are given to those areas which help to enrich Columbus, and also those which help to rejuvenate neighborhoods.
