The “J” has two soccer
teams competing in the
Methodist Home Park this
fall. We have a team of 7, 8, &
9 year olds sponsored by
Swimmer Insurance and a
team of 10 & 11 year olds
sponsored by the Family
Dollar Stores.
The 7, 8, & 9 team is coach
ed by Morey Scheffer and
Bob Hawkens. The team
practices on Tuesday after
noons and plays Saturday
afternoons at 2 p.m. at the
Methodist Park Home Little
League Field. Our 10 and 11
year olds are coached by
Mikje Klein and Bob Trittin.
They practice on Wednesday
afternoons and play Satur
day at 4:30 at Garinger High
School. Because w^re play
ing in such an outstanding
league, we felt it necessary to
have regulation soccer goals
for our players to practice.
The following should be
thanked for contributing
towards these goals, which
we will take with us to the
new Foundation Project:
Bob Abel, Mark Bernstein,
Herman Blumenthal, Bill
Gorelick, Harry Lerner,
Alvin Levine, Jerry Levin
and Morris Speizman.
You are cordially invited
to come and cheer for either
or both teams. We will be
playing on Saturdays until
the weekend of November 26
with the weekend of the 19th
beginning our end-of-season
tournament.

Theologians
Share Anguish
'ihe Israel Study Group
convened their semi-annual
meeting in Weston Priory,
Weston, Vermont, October 1
& 2, 1982. The undersigned
members issued the follow
ing statement:
As Christian theologians
we share in the worldwide
anguish over the recent
massacres in West Beirut.
Relentless calls to establish
accountability have been
issued, particularly with
respect to the role of Israeli
authorities in these tragic
events.
We believe that the time
has come for us to engage in
careful reflection. It is clear
to us that the voices of cons
cience are mixed with a
chorus of cynicism,
hypocrisy and bigotry. The
history of antisemitism
demonstrates that the world
has too often remained silent
in the face of atrocities ex
cept when Israel stands ac
cused. We have observed
that people who in the case of
Hiroshima, Nagasaki, as in
the case of LyLai and Cam
bodia and the atrocities com
mitted by the PLO have re
mained silent, are now
stridently ra'sing their
voices in condemnation of
Israel. We have observed
also that little or no criticism
has been levelled against the
real perpetrators of the
massacres, the Phalangists,
a Christian militia.
We note how many of our
Jewish sisters and brothers
in the U.S. and Israel have
called for an accounting for
the massacres in Lebanon
regardless of where the
blame may fall. In Israel we
have seen a free and
democratic society engaged
in a struggle of conscience,
an increasingly rare
phenomenon among the
family of nations. How many
other memebers of the
United Nations would
engage in such public self-
examination?
As our Israeli friends en
dure this painful soul sear
ching we stand with them in
full understanding and com
passion, while at the same
time we as Christians con
fess our own sins of silence,
hostility and indifference
which have so often con
tributed to these tragic situa
tions.
Taking these words from
our common scriptures, we
pray with the Psalmist,
“PEACE BE UPON
ISRAEL.”
