outset mainly focused on teaching
Arabs Hebrew and Jews Arabic,
has developed into a cultural and
social dialogue on a broader scale
between the two peoples. Courses
are given at the Ecce Homo Con-
vent of the Sisters of Zion Order on
Via Dolorosa in the Old City of

Jerusalem.
At the opening, held in the Khan
Theater in West Jerusalem, were
several Arab dignitaries, including

Garalla, Isa Marogi, administra-
tive director of St. John's Opthal-
Mology Hospital in East Jerusa-
lem, and Abu Elias, Director of

joining the courses. He said that

stage. lie added that the project

saved the Temple Scrolls from
oblivion. He said Israeli scholars
were "shocked" by the condition
of the scrolls which were partly
rotted away but managed to pre-
serve the largest part of them.

"goodly sum." The Wolfson
