Agnon Buried
on Mt. of Olives
NEW YORK (JTA) — Mayor
John V. Lindsay sent the following
telegram to Mayor Teddy Kollek
of Jerusalem: "Please convey my
deepest sympathy to the bereaved
wife and family of Shmuel Yosef
Agnon.
"Nobel Prize winner for litera-
ture, he left an imprint not only
on Hebrew literature but on world
literature as well. Through his
writing, a notable chapter of Jew-
ish history was illuminated, bring-
ing to life the rich Ind vital world
of 19th Century ....astern Europe.
I well remember his visit to City
Hall, when the city was privileged
to have him as our guest. My fel-
low New Yorkers join me in this
expression of sorrow for his pass-
ing. We shall all be the poorer
for his absence."
Mr. Agnon was buried Feb.
18 on the Mount of Olives over-
looking Jerusalem, the city
where he spent most of his life.
The funeral procession was at-
tended by President Zalman
Shazar, Premier Golda Meir,
members of the cabinet and lead-
ing figures in Israel arts and
letters. Wind and rain prevent-
ed a graveside eulogy, but Presi-
dent Shazar eulogized the writer
earlier at the Jerusalem City
Hall where his beir lay in state.
Mayor Kollek also spoke, as did
Prof. Ephraim Urbach, the noted
talmudical scholar, Dr. Israel Co-
hen of the Israel Writers Aasoci-
ation and the Sephardic chief rabbi,
Itzhak Nissim.
Funeral arrangements were
made by a special cabinet commit-
tee which rescinded an order that
prohibited burials on the Mount of
Olives since its capture from Jor-
dan in the Six-Day War. The com-
mittee acted in compliance with a
request in Mr. Agnon's will that he
be buried on the Mount of Olives.
Memorial meetings for Mr. Ag-
non are planned by the Jewish
Agency executive, Hebrew Univer-
sity, Brit Ivrit Olamit and other
institutions.
