Israel Zuriel, Israeli commissioner for tourism in North America said the final figures show that 1976 was the best year ever for tourism to Israel. A total of 795,000 tourists from around the world vi- sited the country, a 28 percent increase over the 1975 total and a nine per- SHINE CITY 29030 Northwestern at 12 Mile adjacent to TOTAL Station 352-9230 - PROTECT YOUR CAR'S FINISH AGAINST SALT!

Almost 30 percent of all tourists to Israel are Americans. Zuriel said the large increase in tourism could be ascribed to two main reasons: the relaxation of Middle East tensions and the improv- ing economic situation in the United States and Western Europe. The regional figures show that where the gen- eral percentage increase throughout the U.S. was about 30-35 percent, the traffic from, the southern states shows a massive 62 percent increase. "This is a reflection of the growing number of Christian pilgrims travel- ing to Israel to visit the holy places. Much of our pfomotional endeavors are directed toward this market; in fact, over 35 percent of Americans now visiting Israel are non-Jews," Zuriel noted. • Rabin Appoints Bell Selection Harkabi to Post Worries ADL JERUSALEM (JTA) — NEW YORK — The Prof. Yehoshafat Har - •Anti-Defamation League kabi, a noted Mideast re- of Bnai Brith recently searcher, will become voiced "concern" with the Premier Yitzhak Rabin's selection of Griffin Bell as adviser on intelligence.

Jewish Committee inter- religious affairs director, who previously had criticized the absence of a rabbi from the service, said he felt his concern over that absence had been "somewhat mod- ified" by the fact that Roach "had the wisdom and the sensitivity to acknowledge he was ad- dressing the pluralistic audiences of America." Tanenbaum added that Roach "delivered a very sensitive and universal prayer without invoking any special Christian liturgical formulae." Tanenbaum com- mented that it was "an honor" to have a cantor participate but added it was nevertheless "a nationalistic act, an ex- pression of patriotism which is worthy in itself but is not an act of the Jewish religious com- munity expressing itself on peer terms with its Christian neighbors." He added his "concern" that the Carter inaugural arrangement, "not be al- lowed to become estab- lished as a model for fu- ture public ceremonies of this importance."
