TEL AVIV—With the start of the
summer tourist season, the prob-
lem of what to get for those stay-
ing home and how to get it back
to them looms as one of the vex-
ing annoyances of traveling over-
seas.
But the manager of Batsheva
Crafts Corp., one of the foremost
sources of original Israeli giftware,
points out that the level of Israeli
craft work has made giant strides.
Many Israeli craftsmen and pro-
ducers are reaching top inter-
national levels in creative jewelry
and giftware.
While jewelry is popular as an
easy-to-transport item, other im-
portant Israeli original products,
even Batsheva bubble glass and
other fragile or heavy items, are
now shipped via post directly by
leading Israeli gift suppliers, fully
insured.

Ribicoff Views Judaism
as Being in 'Real Trouble'
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (JTA)
—Sen. Abraham Ribicoff declared
here that "Judaism in America is
in real trouble" as a result of
"diluting and compromising" the
faith. "By now we should see the
futility of trying to make Jews less
like Jews," he said.
But the Connecticut Democrat
also stated that "If this is a time
of peril for Judaism in America,
it is also a time for great oppor-
tunity." Sen. Ribicoff spoke at the
founders dinner of the Hebrew
Union College-Jewish Institute of
Religion. The college is building a
school adjacent to the University
of Southern California campus.
Sen. Ribicoff asserted that when
modern institutions — such as the
army, universities and religions—
"fail to satisfy human needs, they
become actual barriers in man's
quest for a more meaningful exist-
ence." He said the "increasing
frustration and alienation," the
"protest and dissent" on the part
of today's youth "are not only re-
actions against specific policies,
but are symptomatic of the dis-
regard for people as individual
human beings."

FIND SOMETHING
UNUSUAL UP HERE.
AND TAKE IT HOME
WITH THEM.
It's something rarely found in the midst of a big, modern
resort bristling with every sport and social activity
imaginable. A feeling. Of warmth. And friendliness. And
relaxation.
It's a feeling
feel the moment you leave the cold
cement of the highway and pass into our private pprt of the
country. You're with friends. And you've got 1300 acres
filled with exciting things to do, day and night. Or quiet
little hideaways to get away from it all, inside and out.
Come. Whether you golf (on the "Big G," the most
beautiful new golf course in the U.S.A.), play tennis, swim
indoors or out, fish, boat, play all day, dance all night, or
just lose yourself in the country, what you'll take away
when you leave is the feeling that you're leaving home.
