they will participate in a Mobiliza-
tion for Soviet Jewry.
Thirty-nine members of the
Bnai Brith Youth Organization,
and two advisers, will fill one bus,
and 34 members of Shaarey Zedek
United Synagogue Youth, along
with their advisers, will take an-
other bus.
The mobilization, sponsored by
the North American Jewish Youth
Council, will include a march of
solidarity with Soviet Jewry near
the Soviet Embassy Sunday. Par-
ticipants will attend programs
sponsored in cooperation with the
local community, attending work-

2 Suez Fatalities Mar Holiday
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The first
fatalities suffered by Israel sol-
diers in the Suez Canal zone since
the cease fire went into effect
Aug. 7 were disclosed Sunday.
Lieutenants Mordechai Segal, 22.
of Kibbutz Amir and Michael
Molitov, 23, of Haifa, were killed
when their jeep hit a mine about
two kilometers east of the water-
way in the central sector of the
canal zone.
Military authorities are investi-
gating to determine whether the
mine was an old one or one that
was planted after the truce began.
There were two incidents along
the Lebanese border, compared
with one the previous week, and
six in the Gaza Strip, down from
nine.
Israeli authorities are alert, how-
ever, to possible trouble stemming
from the Jordanian government's
granting of border enclaves to Pal-
estinian commandos.
Such an enclave appears to exist
already in the Irbid area, where
the government's army seems to
have very little control. That en-
clave is opposite the Israeli settle-
ments in the Beisan and Jordan
valleys.
Many thousands of Israelis took
advantage of the three-day holiday
and exceptionally fine weather to
drive to Galilee, the Golan Heights
and the Beisan Valley.
There were many worshipers at
the Wailing Wall and synagogues
in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv were
reported crowded.
Hotels in the cities and in re-
sort areas turned some of their
public rooms into ad hoc syna-
gogues to accommodate Israelis
and tourists.
In East Jerusalem, an esti-
mated 20,000 Arabs mourning
President Gamal Abdel Nassar,
of Egypt, marched to the Mos-
que of Omar and an adjacent
cemetery for memorial services.
Israeli police were on hand in
force but kept to the background.
Authorities said the marchers ob-
served exemplary decorum and no
incidents occurred.
However, minor incidents were
reported during marches of Chris-
tian Arab youths to memorial
ceremonies in Nazareth and Acre.
Israel's Sephardic chief rabbi,
Itzhak Nissim reported that he had
a letter from Rabbi David Isaac
of Leningrad expressing hope that
he and his wife would be able
to go to Israel next spring, right
after the Shavuot holiday. "Our
prayers have not been answered
yet and we are still here. Who
knows when we will be able to
join you?" the letter said.
with Michigan's U.S. Sen. Rob-
ert Griffin, Congressman WU'
Ham Broomfield and an aide of
Sen. Edward Kennedy. Spokes-
man for the Detroit teens will
be David Wallace, president of
the USY. Advisers to that con-
tingent are Larry Stern, assist-
ant executive director of Shaarey
Zedek, and Gary Stern. Leading
the Baal Brith group is Arnie
Weiner of the BBYO staff.
Shaarey Zedek USY has been
active in efforts on behalf of So-
viet Jewry. BBYO, at its June dis-
trict meeting, voted to make this
issue its action project, and is
directing its programing toward
Soviet Jewry.
The groups are planning to par-
ticipate in Soviet Jewry Week, with
BBYO planning a performance at
the Tel-12 Mall and Shaarey
Zedek joining other groups in dis-
tributing literature at other shop-
ping malls.
Members of Et-Gar, Hashomer
Hatzair, Michigan State Temple
Youth and United Synagogue
Youth are involved in the Detroit
plans through Project Outcry 1970
Merril Kramer, of Shaarey Zedek
USY, is acting chairman of the
project, and adviser is Joel Verbin,
of the Jewish Center staff.
A number of young people took
part in the demonstration at Mas-
onic Temple, when the Moiseyev
Dancers were here. During Soviet
Jewry Week, they will participate
in a Jewish Community Council-
sponsored conference 9 a.m.-noon
Oct. 25 at the Jewish Center. (see
story- on Page 15).
Many schools will sponsor spe-
cial assemblies and other activities
related to the issue. College groups
also have planned on-campus acti-
vities during the Simhat-Torah-
Soviet Jewry Week period.
