New Military Skirts

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Is-
raeli women soldiers will no
longer be wearing mini-
skirts. Religious circles have
long demanded that the
army drop the rule which
allowed female soldiers to
wear skirts up to four
inches above the knee. But
now, because of the chang-
ing fashion, new military
skirts are being prepared
that will be longer and
fuller.
A kindness bestowed on
the good is never lost.

Yacov Dan is an Israeli singer, actor and musician who has entertained audiences around the world with his exciting performances. He began
his musical career at the conservatory in Jerusalem and is considered a virtuoso on the cordovox with which he accompanies himself. As he

rapport with his audience. This unique and exceptionally talented performer will take you on an armchair voyage from Israel to the U.S., just as
his warmth and charm have brought the universal language of music to people everywhere. "His music retains the spirit of the gypsies of old:
