I came to Israel in 1949 from a Displaced Persons
camp in Germany.

I was 9 years old and put down deep roots in my homeland.

I was a fortunate child survivor of the Holocaust.My parents and I were
the remnants 

Kovno Jews.Unforetunately we emigrated in 1953 due to my mother's poor
health.

When I visited Israel in 1969 I was able to visit all the sites in
Jerusalem. 

Yitzhak Rabin the Commander in chief made that possible.

 I had the good fortune to meet Mr,Rabin z"l when he was the embassador
to Washington 

and he spoke at the Hadassah National Convention.

I was the newly elected president of the Burlington, Vermont, chapter
of Hadassah.

We talked at the  hotel elevator and I took his picture.The last time I
saw him live

 was this past May at the AIPAC conference in Washington,

I was in charge Tues. of a Gathering in the memory of the Prime
Minister at the 

University of Vermont where I teach Hebrew and advise the Jewish clubs.


I shall never forget Yitzhak Rabin the New Jewish Warrior and the Peace
Maker.

May his memory be for a blessing to all of Israel and to peace loving
people everywhere.

As an opposer of THIS peace process (not the peace
itself)

I'd say that first of all we can't blame anybody for 

encouraging this murder. The insulting remarks had also a

great effect on the mood that made him do this action.

second, don't turn Rabin into a saint that died for the 

peace process. Rabin in all his career have some fails.

For example, shooting on the 'Ezel' ship 'Altalena' which

was full of jews and weapons and killing 2 Ezel members and

wounding others, escaping from the big convoy in march 1948

when he was the commander, drunk, smoking and totaly

desperate about the situation before the Six-day war when

he was the Commander in Chief of the IDF.

Although, I'm very sorry because he was our political

opponent and therefor we had to struggle with him in 

political ways, not in a way of taking life.

I send my condolences to Rabin's family, freinds

and the population of Israel and the world.

I didn't know the man really,

I only saw him standing there on that stage

singing the song for peace

That was enough to realize what he stood for,

that was enough to realize that this was a great man,

that was enough to love him;

When I first heard about Prime Minister Rabin's
death, I was

in San Francisco's Chinatown.  My colleague and I had just

entered a camera shop and the store owner - an Israeli young

man - told us the bad news.



I felt numb at first.  I couldn't bring myself to believe

what I had been told.  After all, Israelis have always been

proud of living in what they call the only democratic state

in the Middle East.  I knew there was division in Israel

because of the peace agreement, but I never thought the

animosity would lead to an assassination.  I certainly

didn't expect an Israeli to fire the shots.



I guess I was naive.  When it comes to the Holy Land,

emotions have always run high.  I do have to agree with Leah

Rabin's assertion that the Likkud party and its leadership

promoted an environment in which political assassination was

a viable option.  I don't care whether this young law 

student was following anyone's explicit orders.  Netanyahu's

rhetoric most certainly fanned the fires.



I take comfort in knowing that Shimon Peres will continue

to lead his people to a peaceful resolution of its 

century-old conflict with the Palestinians.  I also take

comfort in knowing that Rabin's death has the potential to

galvanize support behind this course of action.



However, I am very saddened to know that Israel has lost one

of its greatest warriors.  Let us not forget that he fought

for Israel's independence as hard as he has lobbied for

peace.  We have all seen Rabin in his business suit shaking

hands with his former enemy.  I remember his best as the

Chief of Staff of the Israeli army.  It seems incomprehensible

to me that one of Israel's most fervent defenders should be

gunned down for allegedly betraying the Israeli people.



Finally, I would like to extend my condolences to the Rabin

family.  I caught a glimpse on the evening news of the 

entire family at the funeral and I found myself crying - 

along with all those Israelis who visited the memorial at the

place of his death.  I'm not exactly sure why, but this loss

saddens me very deeply.  I can only hope that we all learn

something from this tragedy.

You all have my deepest sympathies.  I am a policy
analyst,

by profession, and I am accoustomed to responding to

international events in an analytic manner.  This week, I

been unable to do so.  I was alone in my living room when

I heard the news and my first reaction seems to be the same

as that of so many Jews.  With all the trouble we face "out 

there," now we are doing it to ourselves!!!  How can this be

It goes against everything we are taught about the meaning of

being Jewish and the sense of family it brings to all of us.



My other emotional reactions occured on Monday.  First, as I

was driving to work in Washington, along my usual route down

Connecticut Avenue, my car all of a sudden, without any 

thought from me, turned up Van Ness and stopped in front of

embassy. It was too early to sign the condolence book, so I

just sat for a while.



Then, the most personal, and emotional reaction.  When your 

granddaughter spoke at your funeral, all I could see and hear

were the words my sister spoke at my grandfather's funeral

three years ago.  At that moment, my heart became one with

yours.  You have my deepest sympathies.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to
the Rabin family.  I was deeply saddened by the tragic event that
occured last Saturday.  I was even more saddened to learn that Yitzhak
Rabin was gunned down by one of our own.  His loss is felt not only by
Israel and the jewish people but by the world-at-large.  I only hope
that his legacy will continue...perhaps this shocking and tragic event
will open the eyes of those opposed to the peace process.

My heartfelt condolences to Yitzhak's family members
and my people Israel.  Truly, we have witnessed the life and death of a
legend.  I believe that upon his arrival in Heaven, (for the
Peacemakers are dearly beloved of G-D), he was greeted by all the
saints and sages, with pats on the back, hugs, handshakes and
highfives.  For truly, his was a life well lived.  A life of service,
devoted to others.  No greater love hath any man than he lay down his
life for his brother, and this Yitzchak was always willing to do.  My
daughter is living in Israel now, and no doubt Yitzchak will contribute
much to her understanding of what it is to devote one's life to a
better world.  G-d bless Yitzchak Rabin, and comfort his family and our
people in this time of shock.
