German Jewry with visits NEW YORK—An American rabbi is “hopeful” about revitaliza tion efforts toward preserving East German Jewry as he prepares for his third annual visit there, the American Jewish Committee has learned. Rabbi Ernst Lorge, retired spir itual leader of Temple Israel, Sko kie, Ill., will again officiate at High Holiday services beginning Oct. 3, Rosh Hashana, and concluding at sundown Oct. 13, on Yom Kippur, in an AJC-sponsored visit to East memorable moments, noting. It was a rewarding experience to offi ciate both at the conversions of two young men, and at the naming ceremonies of two female infants, this is a great sign of hope for future generations.” About 100 to 150 of the city’s 400 Jews are expected to attend the services led in German by Rabbi Lorge, a native of Mainz, Germany. Fewer than 600 Jews live in the German Democratic Republic, and are concentrated in eight cities. with the largest community i n East Berlin. The majority are over age 60. The East German government provides funds to these communi ties for maintaining more than loo Jewish cemeteries throughout the country. Since the end of World War II, various synagogues have been restored and new ones created Rabbi Lorge, who was born in Mainz in 1916, fled as a refugee to the United Slates in 1936, and was oidained to the rabbinate in 1942 Berlin. Since 1982, books, religious articles, and wine have been pro vided for the Jews of East Berlin by the AJC. In 1983, a delegation of AJC leaders met with Dr. Peter Kirchner, president of East Ber lin’s Jewish community, and learned that the group had no rabbi. The delegation, the first American com munal group to meet with Jewish officials in East Berlin, consequent ly arranged for Rabbi Lorge’s visit. Last year’s visit had particular significance for Rabbi Lorge. He found among the youth a renewed interest in observing their tradition and acknowledging their heritage. He said: “Generally the younger element does not exist among East German Jews in number; however, the spirit of the youth transcends the age factor within the commun ity.” He voiced pride over two French allow Capucci to visit terrorist in jail by Edwin Eytan PARIS(JTA)—Msgr.
