Synagogue Council Hears Talk
by Egyptian Envoy to U.S.

NEW YORK (JTA)—Ash-
raf Ghorbal, the Egyptian
Ambassador to the United
States, went before an au-
dience of Jewish congrega-
tional and rabbinic leaders
last week and told them that
peace in the Middle East
requires security not only
for Israel but for the Arab
states too.
He said Israeli with-
drawal from the occupied
territories and the creation
of a Palestinian state there
is necessary for Arab secu-
rity.
Ghorbal made his state-
ment in a speech before the
board of directors of the
Synagogue Council of Amer-
ica (SCA) at the Carnegie
Endowment Center for
Peace, the first time he or
any other Arab ambassador
had spoken before an Amer-
ican Jewish group.
Rabbi Henry Siegman, the
SCA's executive vice presi-
dent who introduced the
Egyptian envoy, said he had
been friends with Ghorbal
for several years. Ghorbal
said he was friends with
many other American Jews,
including Rabbi Alexander
Schindler, chairman of the
Conference of Presidents of
Major American Jewish Or-
ganizations.
The • Egyptian Ambassa-
dor said that he met with
American Jewish leaders
and was appearing before
the SCA not to turn them
against Israel, but because
he felt that as Americans

and Jews they were impor-
tant leaders of public opin-
ion and he wanted them to
understand_ the Arab posi-
tion in order to help -pro-
mote peace in the Mideast.
_ In a related development,
a Stamford, Conn., rabbi,
Joseph Ehrenkranz of Cong.
Agudath Shalom has invited
Egypt's chief delegate to
the UN, Dr. Ahmed Esmat
Abdel Meguid, to address
his congregation next
month.

Yeshivat Yamit

'Opens' Its Doors

YAMIT, Israel—Yeshivat
Yamit, begun in the sum-
mer of 1976 on a barren
stretch of land, without wa-
ter, electricity or buildings,
was dedicated last month.

The first students who en-
tered the building that was
erected last spring faced
sand dunes in the corridors
because the school had no
_doors for a month.

Now the state has erected
a religious elementary
school because of Yeshivat
Yamit. The. school has 13
students with the wives of
the rabbis, fully certified by
the Ministry of Education,
as the teachers.

Dry Cleaning

It is surprising how many
spots on the character are
removed with a solution of
gold.
