Montreal Newspaper's Portrayal Of Hasidism Seen As Anti-Semitic MONTREAL (JTA) - Opposition to a local Hasidic community's attempts to build a second synagogue in the largely French-Canadian Outremond neighborhood of Montreal has led to charges of anti-Semitism against a major newspaper. La Presse, the largest French language newspaper in North America, was accused of playing to racial prejudices and fears in a front-page story Sept. 13, headlined "Outremond Discovers a Jewish Problem." The, article, written by Roch Cote, defined the proiV lem less in terms of the so far unsuccessful attempts by the Hasidim to obtain a zoning variance than by their appearance and large families. Use of the phrase "Jewish problem," moreover, has ugly connotations for Jews here because of its Nazi coinage in the 1930s. Michael Crelinsen, executive director of the Canadian Jewish Congress, called the article "the most serious example of hostility against Jews in years." Cote was quoted later as saying he described the situation as a "Jewish problem" in order to inject a (CONTINUED ON PAGE-11) Mubarak Says Iraq Might Seek Peace With Israel JERUSALEM (JTA) — Iraq could be the second Arab country to negotiate peace with Israel, according to President Hosni Mukbarak of Egypt, whose country under theJate Anwar Sadat was the first. Mubarak offered that upbeat assessment during a recent conversation last week with the new Israeli ambassador to Egypt, Professor Shimon Shamir. Israel And Czech Diplomats Raise Glasses In Toast ROME (JTA) — An exhibition titled "Marvels, of the Ghetto," which opened in the northern Italian town of Fer- rara last week, became the background for an unexpected show of cordiality and good will between Israel and Czechoslovakia. The opening of the exhibit, devoted to Jewish culture and art, including a segment from Czechoslovakia, was attended by the deputy prime minister of Czechoslovakia, Matei Lucan. He and Israel's ambassador to Italy, Mordechai Drory, joined in a toast, in Hebrew. Czechoslovakia severed diplomatic ties with Israel following the 1967 Six-Day War and they have not been restored. Later, the Czech ambassador to Italy, Norbert Zudek, was quoted in the newspaper La Republics as saying the will exists in his country to improve relations with Israel. New York School Children Receive Lesson In Bigotry ORT Plans Technology Institute In Chicago NEW YORK (JTA). — Women's American ORT plans to build its third ORT school in the United States, an advanced technological institute in Chicago that will integrate courses in sophisticated technology, Jewish studie§ and life skills to help improve the employment prospects for local youth. The school will join the 11-year-old Bramsori ORT in New York City and the Los Angeles ORT Technical Institute established two years ago. Ah associate ORT program also operates in South Florida. The Chicago school, officially named the Zarem/Golde ORT Technical Institute in honor of its benefactors, received $1 million in seed money from Jeff Zarem, president of Zarcb Industries and executor of the Golde estate. NEW YORK (JTA) - A group of New York's public school pupils, reflecting this city's broad ethnic mix, stood on the charred floorboards of a burned-out shul in Brooklyn last week to learn a lesson about bigotry. "Bigotry, hate, the words are abstractions. Here you Sfee the pain and ugliness bigotry can cause," the youngsters were told by Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. He spoke in the fire-gutted interior of Orthodox Congregation Rabbinical Institute Sharai Torah in the Midwood section of Brooklyn, the target of arson, desecration and vandalism in the early hours of Saturday, Sept. 17. His audience was solemn and attentive under the bright lights of television camera crews. They stood in a rough circle amid the charred debris of scorched woodwork and waterlogged furnishings in what had been a classroom, with a small pulpit for worship in the center. The distinctive mildew stench of fire damage was all pervasive. More than a dozen of the visitors were teen-agers from three high schools in the district — Midwood, Ed- ADL To Hold Americanism Award Dinner The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith will hold its 75th Anniversary Americanism Award Dinner on Thursday, Oct. 6, at 6 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency in Columbus.

The unusual trip, barely two weeks into the new school year, was proposed by the ADL. All of these youngsters were aware of the outrage perpetrated in their borough.

Moreover, the students, all of, whom volunteered after their teachers explained the nature of the trip, were of roughly the same age as the suspected perpetrators. A 12-year-old and a 15-year-old have been arrested and confessed to the arson and destruction. Because they are juveniles, their identities have been withheld. They were released in custody of their parents pending an appearance in Family Court. But Dionne Boissiere, an articulate 16-year-old from Midwood High, found it hard to believe that the two could have planned and carried out the destruction. "Where did it come from? All of that hatred?" the black teen-ager asked, in a conversation with a reporter. Boissiere, who is president of her junior class, is convinced there was adult instruction. The sheer ferocity of the crime had led others to suspect as much. The intruders systematically wrecked the sanctuary and study rooms and spray painted swastikas and anti-Semitic obscenities on the walls. Their final act of blind hate was the destruction of the congregation's six Torahs. The offenders pulled the Torahs from the Ark, stripped off their vestments, rolled them out on the floor and then set them on fire; Adam Friedman, a husky junior from Midwood, repeatedly shook his head in disbelief.
