LOVE SURMOUNTS ALL OBSTACLES
JERUSALEM. (JTA) — A marriage last week between an Arab Christian girl living in Israel and a Christian Arab who is a citizen of Jordan prov¬ ed that love could conquer all obstacles. The latter Intiluded such formidable hurdles as Arab-Israeli enmity, distance and diplomatic red-tape.
Rena Nakaleah Kara, 24, an Israeli citizen of the Greek Orthodox faith, who lives In Jaffa, wanted to wed her cous¬ in, Michel Kara, 28, also a Christian Arab. However, he lived in Amman, Jordan, and the problems Involved In get¬ ting them wed 'for a while seemed^ insurmountable.
When approval finally d i d arrive, Rena's family sudden¬ ly found itself left out of the picture because It did not have permission to watch the cere¬ mony. So Rafael Levy, Israeli district officer, telephoned Na- jati Hashibi, his Jordanian counterpart in Old Jerusalem.
A few hours later, Rena, her family and a priest were al¬ lowed to pass through the Mandelbaum Gate. Between the two warring Jerusalems, in the deserted, rubble-atrewn no-man's land. Rena was mar¬ ried  to Michel.
