Israel, Canada Jewi sh Community Build Montreal Pavilio n
MONTREAL, Quebec—This city
will be the focal point for Jewish-
Americans next year between April
28 and Oct. 27, when millions of
international visitors converge on
Expo 67.
The avid interest among Ameri-
can Jews can be traced to the ex-
tensive participation of both the
Israeli government and the Cana-
dian Jewish community in the only
"First Category" world exhibit ever
held in the Western Hemisphere.
Israel is constructing a multi-
million dollar pavilion that has ex-
terior walls of translucent fibre-
glass in a three-dimensional cry-
stalline pattern. A large skylight
provides an abundance of natural
light to an exhibition room on the
top floor. The entire building will
be dismantled after the close of
the exhibition and re-erected in
Israel.
Visitors will be shown, through
exhibits, films and the perform-
ing arts, the story of how the Is-
raeli people developed an ex-
panse of desert into a thriving
state that has served as a "home-
land" for the Jewish people.
An authentic Israeli restaurant
with a sunken garden will also be
featured.

nity is sponsoring a $300,000

history of Judaism as a "world
faith and culture" that has been
maintained throughout the ages.
This pavilion, which will be lo-
cated on the Ile Notre Dame, was
designed by Montreal architect,
Harry Stilman. He said that the
building was designed to reflect
the fact that Judaism had its
roots in the East, rather than the
West.
The form reflects Spanish-Moor-
ish architecture with a flattened
dome of copper, white concrete
arches and dramatic primary light
fron-i clear glass that lines the un-
derside of the dome.
Religious services will be held,
periodically, in a chapel occupying
roughly one quarter of the pavi-
lion's interior space. The remain-
der of the pavilion is devoted to
special exhibits, including a collec-
tion of Judaic books, ceremonial
objects used in Jewish religious
practices, a history of synagogue
structure through the ages and a
variety of films about Judaism.
The Israel Cameri theater, and
the Batsheva Modern Dance and

Cemetery Desecrations
Total 300 in 18 Years
Uneasy lies the head that wears
a crown.—Shakespeare.
BONN (JTA) — The West Ger-
man government said that a re-
port issued last month on dese-
crations of 857 German ceme-
teries, covered a period of 18
years. It had initially been re-
ported that the period of such de-
secrations was for the current
year only.
In issuing the report, the inte-
rior ministry said that the figure
for the Jewish cemeteries was
"frightening high"-300. The peri-
od covered was Jan. 1, 1948 through
April 1, 1966.

The decennial anniversary of Brandeis University's Three
Chapels is now being observed. Last weekend's events included an
institute, "Religion on the American Campus," which examined
contemporary student attitudes about religion. The Three Chapels
were built 10 years ago to provide separate facilities for worship by
Jewish, Protestant and Roman Catholic students at Brandeis.
