Trial of Demjanjuk expected to get under way in early ’87 by David Landau JERUSALEM (JTA)—The trial of John Demjanjuk, the alleged Treblinka death camp guard known to inmates as “Ivan the Terrible,” is expected to begin early in 1987, according to Justice Ministry sources. They said the charge sheet against the Ukrainian-born former resident of Cleveland, Ohio, is pres ently under study by State Attor ney Yona Blatman and a final draft should be ready to be presented in court before the end of the month. Demjanjuk, who was stripped of his U.S. citizenship, is the only suspected Nazi war criminal ex tradited to Israel to stand trial. His current remand in custody expires Oct. 1. John Demjanjuk He was brought here last Feb. 28 and has been confined to a maxi mum security prison near Ramie without being formally charged. Justice Ministry sources denied speculation that the State prosecu tors were finding it difficult to put together an air-tight case against the 65-year-old former automobile worker. The sources said the rela tively long delay in filing charges is due to the “masses of evidence” which had to be processed. Demjanjuk allegedly operated the gas chambers at Treblinka where 900,000 Jews died in 1942 and 1943. He insists he is a victim of mistaken identity. That, apparently, will be the line of defense by his American attorney who has been granted permission by the Justice Ministry to plead before an Israeli court. rfc Congregation Beth Tefillah An appeal to the community to participate in the mitzva of acquiring a tciraV) Scroll Our fledgling congregation urgently needs our own Torah Scroll before the High Holidays.

But Shakdiel decided to fight. She noted that religious councils are lay bodies which do not draw their legal authority from halacha, religious law. She added that as an observant woman she attends reli- government and the local authori ties. The latter nominate some of the members. Others are nominated by the rabbinate and the Religious Affairs Minister.

Lea Shakdiel, 35, a school teacher active in public affairs, was nomi nated to the religious council by the local authority on which she serves as Labor Party councilor. But the appointment was blocked by the Religious Affairs Ministry, which informed her that it was “not in the realm of possibility” for a woman to fill such a post. Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi Avra- ham Shapira agreed and indicated gious services and has found their standards often to be deplorable. Therefore, she said, it is her duty to serve on the religious council. The councils function alongside municipalities and other local au thorities. They are responsible for providing and supervising religious infrastructures including syna gogues, mikvas and kashrut, usu ally in consultation with the local rabbinates. They are funded jointly by the weekly specials Chuck Roast blade cut Ground Beefs lb. family pack .... Shoulder Roast square cut Breast of Veal whole or in strips . .
