Yeshivah High
To Open
A new all day high school
will open its doors this
September for Jewish
students of the ninth grade,
said Mr. Bernard Hirsch,
spokesman for a group of
leaders who met last week to
inaugurate this new educational venture for the Jewish community of Columbus.
The meeting took place in
the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Martin Hoffman and was a
result of numerous meetings
held during the past year.
Steps to incorporate the
school in the State of Ohio
were begun, and the process
of accredition to meet the
highest - standards of
academic achievement are
being pursued.
The need for an all day
Jewish High School has been
upper most in the minds of
many leaders of our com-
, munity. for, a number of
years. The purpose of the
school will be to offer a full
arid intensive program of
Jewish and general studies
for the college bound
student. The goal of the
school is to give a positive,
proud and.learned idejijifi-,
cation of Jewishness to the
student in his or her pursuit
for individual life goals and
careers, and to become
valuable members of contemporary American Jewish
society. The school will be
known as "Yeshivah High of
Central East" and will be a
co-educational institution
serving students in this
geographical region.
Mr. Ronald Golden, well-
known Columbus native and
former curriculum coordinator at Eastmoor High
School, with an M.A. in education from Ohio State University was appointed Ad-'

Israel To Present Revised List
By Yitzhak Shargil
.-„.;".   .''. .'	
TEL AVIV (JTA)-Israel
has prepared a revised list of
its future weapons requirements to present to U.S. Defense Secretary Harold
Brown who is expected here
Tuesday after visits to Saudi
Arabia and other Arab countries. The list is said to r_-
flect a new assessment of
Israel's defense needs in
light of the probable military
alliance between Syria and
Iraq and Israel's projected
withdrawal from Sinai under
terms of a peace treaty with
Egypt.
It was prepared by the
planning department of General Headquarters and the

At Tifereth Israel Fri. Nite

direction of Cantor Philip P.
Wolf will participate in
conducting the services. The
highlight of the program will
be the presentation of the
Ner-Tamid and Shofar
awards.    '

The Boy Scouts of America
.are celebrating their 69th
anniversary this year during
the month of February.
The Central Ohio Jewish
Committee on Scouting will
hold its annual Scout Sabbath at the'Tifereth Israel
Congregation, 1354 E. Broad
St. on Friday, Feb. 16 at 8
p.m.
An expected 500 to 600
Scouts, Leaders and their
families'- will -worship
together. Rabbi Sheldon W.
Switkin, spiritual leader of
the Congregation will officiate and scouts of troops'
equivalent department of the
Defense Ministry and re*,
places' the _6^all-f **fre£-
sure C" weapons list that
was submitted to the Americans over a year ago.-The
new   list   is   reportedly
'smaller but no less costly
than the earlier one inasmuch, as Israel is seeking
some of the latest and most
sophisticated electronic
weapons systems.    .
Meanwhile, - new differences have developed
with Washington over
Brown's itinerary while be is
in Israel. He has agreed to
inspect installations in Sinai,
the Golan Heights and the
Negev but so - far has •
declined to visit the West
Bank. The Israelis consider
it essential that Brown tour
that territory because of the
possible emergence of a
powerful new Arab force on
the eastern fron consisting of
Syria and Iraq as well as
Jordan. i
They want to impress upon
the Defense Secretary
Israel's view that.the West
Bank is vital to its'security
and believe this can best be
'done if. he sees for himself
the vantage- points from
which Jordanian guns once
menaced Israel's ' coastal
plain/
, It is understood that
Brown agreed to go to two
sites, one in Judaea and one.
in the Samaria region but the
Israelis are not satisfied and
the   issue   remains- unre-
' solved. Brown will be received by amilitary guard of
honor. The Defense Ministry
has assigned Gen. Nathaniel
. Sharoni, head of the Army
Planning Division; to..serve
.as his escort. -

JERUSALEM (JTA)—
Premier Menachem Begin
announced today that Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan
will, alone represent Israel
at the talks with Egyptian
Prime Minister Mustapha
Khalil and Secretary of State
Cyrus Vance at Camp David,
Md., later this month. Begin
made the announcement following today's Cabinet meeting which President Carter's
invitation to a second round
of, talks at Camp David was
formally accepted.
Begin also, disclosed that
the new'talks will be held in
two stages, with an intermission in between to permit
Dayan and Khalil to report
to their respective "governments and receive further
instructions. The feeling in
policy-making circles here
today was that whatever
progress may be made at the
- new ministerial lever talks, a
' second summit, meeting be-
' 'tween  Carter!  Begin  and
,Pjres.idenJl...Anwar^. .Sajlat
woulcHberequlreitil;before an.
Israeli-Elgyptian peace
treaty can be signed.
Carter hinted to visiting
editors in Washington yesterday that .he may be 'a
participant in the new Camp
David Talks.'In disclosing
that the Israelis and
Egyptians will be meeting
with Vance, he remarked
"and I'll undoubtedly be
meeting with them as well
while they are here." He did
not say specifically that this
would be at Camp David.
According to Carter, Israel
and  Egypt  have  already
- resolved 95 percent of their
differences but the remaining 5 percent remained
't'a basic deadlock.")
The two-stage structure of
the new talks was taken to
mean that the first round
will not be conclusive and
that the final outcome will be
' determined when the negotiations  resume after  the
' intermission or, possibly, at
a Carter-Begin-Sadat
summit, conference., This
view was expressed by. a.
- Cabinet source in an inter-
-view with tbe Jewish Telegraphic Agency today.. The
source expressed confidence
that a treaty eventually
would be concluded.
Extent of Dayan's Authority
Begin told reporters that
the issue of the extent of
Dayan's negotiating-authority was not raised at today's
Cabinet session although the'
ministers had discussed "the
- question of how the Foreign
Minister is to react. He will
react - according to"- the
Cabinet decisions  and,  of
course, he will be consulting
with me," Begin said.
Government sources said
later that it was decided not
to broaden Dayan's authority beyond what it had been
in the Blair House talks in
Washington last November
when Dayan and Defense
Minister Ezer Weizman
headed the Israeli negotiating team. At that time, the
instructions were for the,
Israeli negotiators to hear
out the Egyptian and American views, to discuss
various proposals with them
and to report back to the
Cabinet for instructions
before committing Israel to
any changes of position.
Weizman will be absent
from the new round of talks
and the Cabinet rejected
^suggestions that other
jninisters accompany
lj>ayan. There had been speculation that Justice Minister
Shmuel Tamir and Interior
Minister Yosef Burg might
attend. Aides to Dayan said
he would not have objected.
But sources close to Begin
noted that Carter's invitation referred specifically
to Dayan and; Khalil as the
representative of their respective countries and there
was no reason therefore to
send additional ministers, at'
least at this stage.
Dayan's aides also said the
Foreign Minister was satisfied with 'the Cabinet's
decisions and felt that he
would be able to carry out
his tasks in accordance with
Carter's invitation. The
Army Radio reported this
evening that there would be
.preliminary diplomatic
contacts before the Camp
David meeting, including
talks with U.S. Defense Secretary Harold Brown, Who is
due in Israel Tuesday.
