Ghana Seeks Payment
for Destroyed Plane
ACCRA (JTA) — The Ghanaian
government will seek compensa-
tion from Israel for a $3,600,000
Viscount-10 jet destroyed in Israel's
Dec. 28 commando raid on Beirut
Airport.
The Ghanaian-owned plane was
on lease to the Middle East Air-
lines and bore that company's
markings. The plane was not cov-
ered by war risk insurance, and
Middle East Airlines has refused
to compensate Ghana for the loss
on the grounds that the plane's
owner is responsible for insurance
under terms of the charter. Thir-
teen commercial airliners were
destroyed.

The problem of terroristim is

Israeli's approach to strategia is
very prakti. Furthermore,their tan-
kim and other motorized forces
have great mobiliut to meet any
situatzia critit.
Angio-Saxim solve many a lin-
guistic problem in Hebrew simply
by using the English word and pro-
nouncing it with a Hebrew accent.
(This seems to be a matter of ac-
centing the last syllable if the word
is a noun, and, to make it an ad-
jective, adding "i" for the mascu-
line and "it" for the feminine).
As for Ivrit normalit, I was able

The Academy for the Hebrew
Language has the task of creating
the new words needed to express
the new situations and technology
of life in Israel and the world to-
day. In the face of the onslaught
of English, their task is indeed
colossali. And when I tell my Is-
raeli friends how many of the
words they use are really English,
they reply in amazement, "Fantas-
ti."
Maritime Experts
Invited by Israe l
Following a communique issued
by the Israel Maritime League
sometime ago and appearing in
Jewish newspapers in several coun-
tries, numerous letters have been
received from Iran, India, South
Africa, the United States, the Unit-
ed Kingdom, New Zealand, Austra-
lia and France, from people inter-
ested in joining the Israel Mer-
chant Marine. Communicants have
been requested to send photostats
of seamen's books, certificates at-
testing to experience at sea and
other concrete information so that
shipping companies in. Israel may
be in a position to consider all
cases individually.
El Yam Shipping Company of
Israel announces that it is in urgent
need of:
Engineers for ships with reef-
er-space, who have graduated a
four-year secondary school;
Electricians;
Deck and engine room officers.
ZIM, the Israel Navigation
Company, is prepared to afford
ship practice to young people
or from a four-year technical
school or who have had three
years' workshop experience.
All comunications in regard to
the above openings or in regard
to matters concerning the Israel
Merchant Marine, should be ad-
dressed to the Israel Maritime
League, P.O.B. 706, Haifa, Israel.
is likened unto a king (Chasan
Domeh L'Melech) and one must
stand in the presence of royalty.
Generally speaking, the recitation
of a blessing requires the stand-
ing position for the one who recites
the blessing (with the exception of
the blessing after meals which is
recited at the table), since the
name of the. Almighty is invoked.
When the blessing refers to others
as well, those to whom it refers
must likewise stand. Thus, at all
marriage ceremonies the bride and
bridegroom stand. The - audience
stands because the blessings refer
to the people of Israel as a whole
and thus the whole assembly
stands. Furthermore, when every-
one stands together it is a demon-
stration of the fact that all assem-
bled feel themselves to be a part of
the ceremony by both sharing and
adding to the happiness of the
moment.
Why do some practice the cus-
tom of having the bride sit on a
special chair representing a
throne before the ceremony takes
place?
This seems to be a very old tra-
dition. It was mentioned as far
back as in the Mishna (Kelim
22:4). Some explain this custom by
saying that a bride on her wedding
day is like a queen on the throne.
It is required that she be adorned.
Indeed the Almighty Himself is
said to have adorned the first
bride. Eve, before he "biought"
her to Adam. Generally speaking,
making the bride a queen and the
bridegroom a king is a demonstra-
tion of the democratic feeling in
Jewish society where everyone, at
least once in his lifetithe, is vir-
tually a king or queen, i.e. on his
wedding day. The royalty of the
individual seemed to have played
a great role in the Jewish tradi-
tion. It is interesting to note that
there was a basic virtue which
seemed to have infinite value in
Jewish tradition called "Hachnos-
sas Kalah" (the reception of the
bride). In olden times, the rabbis
felt that it was mandatory for a
large segment of the community
to go to the home of the bride and
accompany her to the place of the
wedding, as a royal escort given a
queen. Many today still practice
the tradition of having an escort
accompany the bridegroom to the
throne-like chair on which the
bride is sitting so that she can
be veiled just before the wedding
ceremony takes place.
Samuelson Novel
Describes Nazi
Terror in Poland
- Dr. William Samuelson, chairman
of the department of foreign lan-
guages at San Antonio College in
Texas, is the author of "All Lie in
Wait," an autobiographical novel
that describes the life of Jews in
Polish ghettos during World War IL
Based on personal experiences,
this novel, published by Prentice-
Hall, gives the reactions of two
families involved in the plot to the
duress of the Nazi blitzkrieg, the
lootings, beatings, rapes, the forced
labor and barbed wire prisons. It
describes the hatred that emerged
when Nazi bombs turned the Great
Synagogue into an inferno.
