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.
