ance," said Ramati, "to show
that we can and will live with
the present situation until
we're ready to make a real

"Geneva will be a long
process, and we will have to
show the Arabs that with all
their oil, with all their clout
and with all their black-
mailed friends, they cannot
break our spirit, they cannot
break our will, and they can-
not break our unity. One of
the most important things is
your presence now."
Among the guests at the
gathering was Paul Zucker-
man, chairman of the United
Jewish Appeal, who had just
returned from Israel.
Guests were asked to fill
out postcards indicating their
willingness to promote Israel
tourism among their organi-
zations, congregations and
agencies. Still others who
were not present will receive
cards in the mail. Group
flights in the coming months
already have been booked by

Special tours under govern-
ment sponsorship are being
offered during the course of
Operation Solidarity. Includ-
ed are briefings by Israel
Defense Forces officers, a

cent center, meetings with
volunteers and visits with
Russian immigrants. Regular
sightseeing tours during 10-
day, two-week and three-week
trips are included. Accom-
modations are in four- and
five-star hotels.
For information, call the
El Al office in Detroit, 557-
5737.
In a cover letter accom-
panying the literature distrib-
uted at the reception, Rama-
ti said Israel's people "have
never before felt so strongly
the significance of Jewish
unity. A Jewish people united
in effort and in generous
commitment assures Israel's
and Jewry's survival."
Those who visit now "will
find rewards for all your past
efforts, draw strength from
our determination and be in-
spired by the knowledge that
you are taking part in the
writing of our People's his-
tory."
Zionist Movement
Missions Initiated
NEW YORK—The first offi-
cial Solidarity ,and Study Mis-
sion groups to Israel, under
the auspices of the American
Zionist Federation, departed
this month with 104 passen-
gers on three El Al flights.
The first group-32 mem-
bers from the ranks of the
Boston Zionist Federation
and the Chicago Zionist Fed-
eration—is directed by New-
ton Hacker, Midwest regional
director for the American
Zionist Federation.
A . second group of 32 was
limited to faculty members
of universities throughout the
country who were drawn to-
gether under the auspices of
the Zionist Council or Arts
and Sciences. A third group
of 40, comprised of younger
professionals, are on a lead-
ership seminar in coopera-
tion with the young leader-
ship bureau of the World
True Friends
I never considered a differ-
ence of opinion in politics,
in religion, in philosophy, as
cause for wthdrawing from
Zionist Organization in Je-
rusalem.
All of the programs were
conducted in cooperation
with the Israel Seminars
Foundation recently initiated
by 'the leadership of the
American Zionist Federation
to carry out such projects.
