NEW YORK (JTA)—

destroyed by an explosion
on unconfirmed origin last
Friday night, congregants
rummaged through the
ruins Saturday morning col-
lecing undamaged prayer
books and the two Torah
scrolls and conducted Sha-

the porch of the house next

Founded in Gaza

TEL AVIV (JTA)—The
cornerstone of a new settle-

salient last week in the pres-
ence of the settlers who are
recent immigrants from
South Africa.
Neither the government
-nor the army were repre-
sented at the ceremonies
and Agriculture Minister
Ariel Sharon, who had
promised to attend, sent a
message of greeting in-
stead.
The new settlement, to be

preconditions for peace on
Israel.
"But Begin got off to a
rousing start with Brze-
zinski when he put his arm
around him and said, 'I
have something for you.'
"Begin thereupon present-
ed him with copies of four
letters Brzezinski's father
had written to German au-
thorities protesting the
treatment of Jews in Leip-
zig, where he was serving
as Polish Consul in 1933.
Begin had ordered aides
to search for the letters at
Yad Vashem, Israel's me-
morial to the Holocaust.
Brzezinski, said one source,
was 'stunned. He kept re-
peating how deeply moved
he was.' "

Stimler_said the congrega-
tion had finished services
and had left the building by
a 8 p.m., which is always
the case with or without a
minyan. The bombing re-
portedly occurred at about
8:50 p.m.

All that remained stand-
ing of the 55-family Ortho-
dox_ synagogue, a one story
converted house, was part
of the roof over the
1N-6-men's section and the
ark, where the Torah
scrolls are kept. Stimler,
who lives in the house next
door to the synagogue
where services were held
Saturday morning ; said the
synagogue would be rebuilt,
but as yet, there are no esti-
mates of the damages.
