A unique artistic creation
by the noted Jewish artist,
Phillip Ratner, depicting in
bas-relief King David in
Jerusalem, will be presented
to synagogues who produce
outstanding results in Israel
Bond High Holy Day Appeals. Twelve hundred synagogues and temples in the
United States and Canada
took part in this year's appeal, stressing the theme
"From   Generation  Unto
Generation."
The bronze-colored ' bas-
relief depicts an image of
King David with his harp
standing over Jerusalem
against the background of a
sunrise. Each copy will be
inscribed with the congregation's name and the title
"David in Jerusalem." The
word "David" in Hebrew
characters is carved in the
corner of the piece, which is
the first of a series of
Biblical bas-reliefs Ratner
has projected. '
Philip Ratner was trained.
at the Pratt Institute in New
York and now resides in
Washington, D.C. Having
first gained recognition as a
sculptor, he has produced
tapestries, stained-glass
windows and lithographs, as
well as sculpture. He has exhibited at the Smithsonian,
Institution, the Corcoran
Galleries and the National
Collection of Pine Arts in
Washington and the Jewish
Museum in New York. The
permanent collections of the
Library of Congress and the
White  House  contain his
works.'
Ratner has recently been
commissioned to create 10
permanent bronzes for display on the grounds of the
Statue of Liberty, the only
sculptures ever displayed on
Liberty Island, with the exception of the statue itself.1
The Israel Bond Organization has been the principal
source of funds for the promotion of every phase of
Israel's economic development, having provided over
$5.2 billion since its inception
30 years ago. Israel Bond
proceeds, which are-earmarked exclusively for
Israel's Development
Budget, help to finance industrial and agricultural
projects, the construction of
highways and harbors, the
expansion of communications and transport, the
building of new towns and
the development of new
sources of energy. -

On Monday evening, Oct. 12, at sundown, the
Jewish community begins the observance of the
eight-day festival of Sukkot, or Tabernacles. It is
a joyous festival of Thanksgiving, celebrating
the-reaping of the summer fruits at the beginning of autumn, and relates to the time when
our Israelite farmer ancestors dwelled in booths
or huts during the ingathering of the harvest.
A key symbol of Sukkot is the tall palm '
branch, the lulav, bound with willow and
myrtle, and the etrog, the aromatic citron. Both
in the synagogue and in the sukkah at home; the
Jewish worshipper holds fruit and boughs together and chants a Hebrew prayer of gratitude .
for divine blessings of a bountiful harvest. - -
The sukkah, which is a makeshift residence, .
- reminds us that this temporary home of the festival is for millions a permanent home, and
therefore the,Jews are obliged to help bring
decent living conditions to the deprived
everywhere.

ist Ditch Effort Launched By
tration Over AWACS
WASHINGTON (WNS)-
The Reagan Administration
launched a last ditch effort
last, week to convince a
skeptical Congress not to reject the Administration's
proposed $8.5 billion arms
package to Saudi Arabia.
The package includes five
AWACS reconnaissance
planes and other sophisticated enhancement equip-
menkfor the Saudis' 62 F-15
jet-fighters previously purchased from the U.S.
The Administration gave
Congress formal notification
last Thursday, Oct. 1, of the
proposed sale. Congress will
have 30 days from that point
•to vote a resolution of dis-,
approval in both Houses *in!
order to veto the-sale. The.-
Administration has almost
conceded defeat in the House
of  Representatives   where
' more than a majority is expected to vote against the
proposal. Therefore, the Administration has been trying
desperately to.convince the.
• Senate, where niore than
half the Senate is on record
as opposing the package, to' *
3 approve the sale.
President Reagan himself
got into the picture as he
held his first press conference in three months. He

reiterated that the sale
"poses no threat to Israel or
will in the future." He added
that the sate would increase
our national security interests in the region. In an
opening statement to reporters, Reagan indirectly
implied that the arms package and subsequent debate is
not of any business of Israel.
He declared, "It is not the
business of other nations to
make American foreign
policy decisions." Israel's
opposition to the package
has been repeated throughout the Administration's,
readying of the formal
notification to Congress.
Earlier in the day,
Secretary of State Alexander
Haig testified in front of the
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. He sought to re
assure Senators who opposed the package that the
Saudis have agreed to an
American presence on the
planes and on the ground
well into the 1990s. Haig said
these safeguards worked out
with the Saudis included
"complete data sharing with
the United States on a continuous basis:" "no sharing ,
of AWACS data with any
other, parties without United
States consent," and "only
carefully screened Saudis
and United States nationals
will be permitted to be involved with these aircraft."
Haig noted that since there is
a shortage of Saudi air
technicians, "this means
there, will be an American
presence in the aircraft and
on the ground well into the
1990s."
