Shlomo Argov Has
'Long Way To Go'
JERUSALEM (ZINS)-
For weeks after he was shot
by terorists in London on
June 3, Shlomo Argov,
Israel's Ambassador to
Britain, lay in a coma.
According to the surgeon
who operated on him, a bullet fired at point-blank range
passed through his brain,
entering the head above the
right ear and leaving above
the left ear. He said that if
the diplomat survived, he
would probably be partially
paralyzed.
On Aug. 8, the 52 year old
Argov was flown to Israel
and admitted to the rehabilitation section of Hadassah
Hospital in Jerusalem. Although doctors there decline
to be interviewed about his
condition, a spokesman at
the Israeli Foreign Office,
Malka Ben-Yosef, described
his condition as stable but
stated "Mr. Argov has a long
way to gd."
The Israel diplomat is
paralyzed in both arms, but
he speaks a little, recognizes
people and understands almost everything. He tires
.easily and,is restricted,,.to^
one visitor a day.

Goldman Says New Jewish Center
Building To Be Ready This Month
vised us that the new building will be turned over to the
Center in mid-December. In
order to facilitate the physical move, building set-up,
staff training and final preparations for opening the Leo
Yassenoff Jewish Center,
the old building will be
closed as of Monday, Dec. 27,
barring any last minute
changes. The Only programs
continuing to function will be
daycare and the N.I.C.E.
lunch site. Alternate locations will be announced.
"We want to be sure that
all areas of the building are
in good working order when
we open so that we can serve
our membership well from
day one," Goldman continued. "To do so, we anticipate being closed approximately ten days. Alternate
Health and Physical Education facilities have been arranged for the convenience
of our members. For information regarding these
sites, please call the Center
at 231-2731.
"On behalf of the Board of
Trustees, I wish to express
sincere thanks to Center
members for their cooperation during the construction
period. We look forward to
greeting you in the Leo Yassenoff Jewish Center during
the first week of January."
The exact opening date
will be announced.
WASHINGTON (JTA)-.
The common perception
since the start of Israel's
"Peace for Galilee" operation last June is that Israel
and the United States are at
loggerheads and are drawing apart. This is: a view that
has been encouraged by the
statements of some Israeli
and American officials and
of course, the press.
. But at a panel discussion
on "U.S. Influence in a
Changing Middle East"
during the American Enterprise Institute's (AEI) recent Public Policy Week,
this view was challenged by
Robert Tucker, a professor
of international relations at
Johns Hopkins University's
School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in
Washington.
Noting that the Reagan
Administration has taken a
basically passive attitude
toward the actions of the
government of Israeli
Premier Menachem Begin,
Tucker said that Israel has
not been perceived in Washington as pursuing policies
which are seen as "fatal to
American interests." But, he
added, "when that point
comes, and particularly if it
involves oil, you will see
very different behavior on
the part of any government,
any government, in Washington."
U.S. Position Has Improved
In The Mideast
Tucker noted that while Israel is both an asset and a
liability to the U.S., it has
been mostly an asset. He
stressed that when the war
in Lebanon ended, "the
American position in the
Mideast was a good deal
stronger than it had been before."
A "lack of congruence"
between Israel and the U.S.

would "become very apparent, "Tucker argued, if
King Hussein of Jordan
"shows up at that famous negotiating table" as President
Reagan has urged in his September 1 peace initiative and
if the Begin government then
maintains its "intransigent
opposition" to the Reagan
proposals! This "could have
very serious consequences,"
Tucker warned, adding, "before that occurs the argument is largely in the ab
stract."
Tucker also did not appear
to be too much concerned
about Israel's refusal to heed
Reagan's plea for a freeze on
the establishment of Jewish
settlements on the West
Bank. He said that while the
Arab states attach significance to the Palestinian issue, they do not see it as
"that significant" that they
would endanger American
and European interests in
the Persian Gulf.

Chanukah To Fair Avenue School
Three Torah Academy students visited the Fair Avenue School on Dec. 15 to explain the holiday of Chanukah. The three eighth graders, Shauan Heyman, Josh
Seidemann (pictured, center, above) and Sarit Salczer, told Ms. Ward's fourth grade class about the history, laws, customs and practices of the holiday. The
students were accompanied by their teacher, Mrs.
Anne Bonowitz.
The Torah Academy students answered numerous
questions and even spoke in Hebrew at the request of.
students who wanted "to hear what it sounds like."
They ended their visit by distributing dreidles and
teaching the children dreidle games. The students
were invited back for a presentation on Passover.
Josh Seidemann, a Torah Academy eighth grader, is
shown above demonstrating dreidle games to Fair
Ave. students.
