trate on the effect of the home on
the maintenance of Jewish values
through child development and
role modeling. He will especially
address the question, "Whatever
happened to Jewish guilt?"
As an associate professor of
psychiatry at Baylor College of
Medicine, Moffic has achieved
national recognition for his edu-
cation endeavors in community,
cultural and ethical psychiatry. In
1987, he helped produce the col-
laborative special symposium on
psychotherapy and religion,
which combined his work at Bay-
lor with his responsibilities as
a member of the Beth Israel Adult
Education Committee.
The second portion of the panel
discussion will look at Jewish values
in the workplace. Do the ends just-
ify the means? What is integrity in
the business world?
George Stark, a senior vice
president of Drexel Bumham Lam-
bert in charge of the Institutional
Equity Department for the South-
west, brings his extensive experi-
ence in business with his interna-
tional background to a conscien-
tious exploration of this topic. He
will discuss Just what is integrity
Danger?" is the focus of this ma-
jor event sponsored by the Beth
Israel Adult Education Committee
and funded by the Beth Israel En-
dowment Fund. The ethical frame-
work of Jewish values has been a
mainstay for generations. Yet, the
pressures and dynamics of today's
world assail this identifiable foun-
dation. Jews today must ask if
this values system can remain vi-
able and become a tangible in-
heritance which can be be-
queathed to children.
Rabbi Samuel E. Karff will con-
centrate on a delineation of the
core ethical values in Judaism in
his keynote sermon of Friday, Jan.
13, at services, starting at 8:15
p.m.
On Sunday, Jan. 15, from 10
a.m. until noon, a panel will ex-
plore the topic with presentations
from four different perspectives:
values in the home, values in the
workplace, values in education
and values as they are perceived
by the younger generation.
Each of the four distinguished
panelists will present his topic,
giving the audience a format to
respond to each separate facet of
the issue. At the conclusion of the
panelists' presentation, Rabbi
Karff will moderate a general dis-
cussion involving all participants
and the audience.
A light breakfast will be served
at 9:30 a.m. and reservations are
recommended. Call the temple
office at 771-6221.

outstanding individuals to the
Symposium," said Harriet Fried-

Terrorists plotting
infiltration by land
and sea thwarted
TEL AVIV, (JTA) - Three heavily
armed terrorists were killed by an
Israel Defense Force patrol in
southern Lebanon, less than 500
yards from Kibbutz Manara on the
Israeli border.
Three other terrorists were
drowned while attempting to infil-
trate Israel by sea.
The IDF said a paratroop pa-
trol spotted would-be infiltrators
from just outside the southern
Lebanon security zone and opened
• fire, killing three of them without
sustaining casualties.
The IDF said there may have
been other members of the gang
who got away.
A search of the area uncovered
Kalachnikov assault rifles, anti-
tank grenade launchers, ammuni-
tion and leaflets demanding the
release of Palestinian prisoners in
exchange for hostages the infil-
trators planned to take.
Security sources in southern
Lebanon believe the attempted
attack on Kibbutz Manara was an
effort by Arab rejectionists to
scuttle the peace offensive of
Palestine Liberation Organiza-
tion. leader Yassir Arafat.
Some sources believe Syria was
behind the operation.
Abu Nidal's anti-Arafat Fatah
Revolutionary Council put out a
communique in Lebanon claim-
ing its men were on a suicide ,
mission to Manara.
It claimed they stormed a mili-
tary barracks in the "Zionist set-
tlement" and killed "several Is-
raeli soldiers".
Reports of the drowning of
three terrorists came from Leba-
non. Their rubber dinghy, loaded
with weapons, collapsed or cap-
. sized in heavy seas off the Leba-
nese coast at Jiyeh, 25 miles
south of Beirut.
The bodies of three men are
missing. A fourth survived and re-
turned to his base in West Beirut.

separate perspectives. Ray Reiner,
an HISD superintendent, will look
at the questions that confront our

will provide an in-depth look at
how today's young people per-
