Golan Area Densely Populated by Jews Before Arab Arrival
(From the Encyclopedia
Judaica)
The fate of the Golan
Heights, the northern border
between Israel and Syria,
will be one of the crucial
points under discussion at
the Geneva peace conference.
The history of the Golan
Heights demonstrates the
links between archeology and
politics. Encyclopedia Judai-
ca illustrates this point: "The
(archeological) discoveries in
the Golan clearly attest to
the existence of a dense Jew-
ish population in the talmu-

dic period, which, despite
changes of fortune, survived
for more than 600 years
from its inception in the time
of Herod, who established
Jewish settlement in North-
ern Transjordan, up to the
Arab conquest."
The phrase "dense popula-
tion" aptly illustrates the ex-
istence of a significant Jew-
ish community in the Golan
Heights centuries before the
arrival of the Arabs.

recounts how the Franco-
British Commission of 1921-

Thanks to a Magen David
Adorn ambulance drive r,
many lives were saved in a
recent fire at the Dan Hotel
Tel Aviv. Passing the hotel
early in the morning while
taking a pregnant woman to
the hospital, the driver no-
ticed flames coming out of
one of the hotel windows. He
alerted the Tel Aviv Magen
David Adorn headquarters,
which in turn notified the
fire department and police.
Within a few minutes. the
fire brigade, police and 15
MDA ambulances arrived at
the site for rescue and evacu-
ation. Two hundred and fifty
guests were rescued and 30
were transported by MDA
ambulances to nearby hos-
pitals and first aid stations
for emergency medical treat-
ment.
JERUSALEM — An exhibi-
tion marking the publication
of the new "Atlas of Jeru-
salem," the third work of its
kind in the world, opened at
the Jewish National and Uni-
versity Library on the He-
brew University's Givat Ram
campus.
Sample pages from the 105-
map atlas are displayed in
the exhibit, organized by the
university's department of
geography. Only two other
cities, Paris and London,
have been depicted in similar
atlases.
Prof. David Amiran, who
is Leon and Alyce Ell Pro-
f es s o r of Environmental
Studies and head of the uni-
versity's environmental r e -
search and prote-ction center,
led the team in production of
the atlas. He started the work
some 30 years ago.
Field survey data, instead
of being drawn on working
maps in the conventional
manner, were written on
:ards and fed into a Hebrew
-university computer, which
;hen printed out a response
in the form of graphic, fin-
ished maps. This technique
makes possible the produc-
tion of more accurate and de-
tailed maps than did previous
methods.
The maps convey every-
thing from topographical data
to types of business in town,
roof styles and historical
periods.
A special section presents
a succession of master plans
for the city, dating from
1918 to 1968.
Charnges occurring over 20
years of division and the sub-
sequent reunification of East
and West Jerusalem in 1967
are graphically detailed.
