Rabbi, Israeli press, yes;
Israeli skiers, skaters, no
by Rochelle Saidel Woik
Rabbi Selig Auerbach** pastoral
duties will be greatly extended over
the next few weeks, as he serves as
the Jewish chaplain during the
1980 Winter Olympics in Lake
Placid, N.Y.
In addition to his usual role as
rabhi at the Lake Placid
Synagogue, with a membership of
10 families, Auerbach will be the
Jewish chaplain at Camp
Adirondack, whieh will house the
National Guard and State
personnel, and on call at the
Olympic Village. (Camp
Adirondack normally functions as
a miminum security prison, but
inmates have been temporarily
relocated until after the Olympics.)
The only Jewish member of the
Olympics Religious Affairs
Committee which is composed of
some 10 local clergymen,
Auerbach said that this is the first
time in the history of the Olympics
that religion has been officially
recognized.
His committee’s major
responsibilities for athletes and
spectators will include emergency
human services, local religious
entertainment, religious literature
distribution, provision of worship
services and religious media
coverage. Chaplaincy service at the

Although the Israel Olympic Committee (IOC) has received an
invitation from the United States Olympic Committee to
participate in the upcoming Winter Games at Lake Placid during
the early part of February, the Israelis have turned down the bid.
Chaim Glovinsky, Secretary of the Israel Olympic Committee,
advised the United States officials, "Unfortunately we don't have
enough snow here in Israel to develop ice skaters and skiers.
Therefore we shall not be able to send competitors who are capable
of meeting the best from around the world.”
In addition to the invite to the IOC, the press department of the
United States Olympic Committee advised Israel that it is entitled
to send four media people to cover the Winter Games. This is very
important because all future ^locations for press representations
from variouscoun tries are b/tsed on the number of correspondents
who cover an aspect of theOlympicGames such as the Lake Placid
competition.
Consequently, Israel has decided to fulfill its quota of four
writers in order to make certain that in future Games that country
will not be shut out or curtailed in any way so far as press
representation is concerned.

basis.
Lake Placid Synagogue will
provide daily afternoon-evening
services, Auerbach said, and also
will serve as a warm-up station and
coffee house. Although he does not
anticipate a tremendous demand
for daily minyans, he has already
heard from one spectator who has
five yartzeits during the two weeks
of the Olympics. From the support
staff who are already at Lake
Placid, he has only been contacted
by one Jew, a person affiliated with
ABC television. He has also been
informed that four Israeli media
dozen people will attend
A letter was sent to all teams
stating that arrangements for
kosher food would be available at
the Olympic Village, but he has not
yet received a request for this
service. The only Jewish team
'member of whom he is aware is an
American woman who will ski for
a South American or Central
American country, but she has not
contacted him, Auerbach said.
A native of Germany, Auerbach
has lived in LakePlacid since 1961,
He was educated at Maxmillian
University, and Heldesheimer
Seminary in Berlin, and Jews
College, London, and came to the
United States in 1941.
