The Belgian-Israeli Symposium on Photochemical and Photobiological Energy Conversion featured 25 lec- tures on solar energy re- search and was sponsored by the Belgian Prime Minister's Office and the Is- rael National Council for Research and Development. Among the subjects dis- cussed were the uses of plants and photosynthetic bacteria to produce fuels, including hydrogen and glycerol, and some new types of solar cells capable ' of generating as well as storing electrical energy. Aside from an exchange of information between the participants — half Belgian and half Israeli — the meet- ing served to encourage in- formal contacts between the scientists and may lead to 'cooperative Belgian-Israeli solar research efforts. The symposium included field visits to solar installa- tions in Israel's Negev des- ert.

Varied Jewish Life in Geneva By TAMAR LEVY (Copyright 1878, JTA, Inc.) Geneva's small Jewish community — numbering only 4,000 — offers almost as much variety within it- self as this historic interna- tional city does as a whole. To examine it is to become vividly aware of the pluralism of Jewish life. Geneva's Jews are di- vided into four religious communities, each with its own synagogue, rabbi and communal committee. The largest is the Communaute Israelite, headed by Rabbi Alexander Safran. It oper- ates the Jewish community center on the Rue St. Leger which houses social serv- ices, a library, youth center, Hebrew school and nursery school. The second largest is the Sephardic community which has its synagogue on the Rue de Malagnou, headed by Rabbi H. Hadzis. The Malagnou Synagogue is one of the most elaborate in Europe. Its huge assem- bly hall is the scene of Geneva Jewry's biggest so- cial events. It was there that Israeli Premier Menahem Begin delivered a fund- raising speech last De- cember. "Carmel" and publish a weekly review. Geneva also has a long roster of Jewish organizations. These include the Ben- Gurion University Friendship Association; Bnei Akiva; Bnai Brith; Keren Kayemet LeIsrael; Hebrew University Friendship Association; Keren Hayesod; Esther's Daughters; WIZO; Friends of Kiryat Jearim; the Zionist Society; He- brew Circles; Jewish Women's Club; and the Sephardi Women's Club. There are also, in Geneva, the offices of the Woild the Jewish Congress, American Joint Distribu- tion Committee, ORT and the ORT school. The Jewish Agency office, opened in 1922, closed down last month for economy reasons and its personnel returned to Israel. Economic difficulties af- fect Jewish and general ac- tivities. The rising value of the Swiss franc against the U.S. dollar created a panic in the international and private organizations with headquarters here and in Jewish organizations as In an attempt to stem intermarriage, the com- munity recently opened a social club in the synagogue, called "Mac- cabi." It has a dis- cotheque where mem- bers meet weekly and or- u social activities ganizes such as bridge games and lessons, gymnastics, a yoga class, karate, judo and tennis, lectures, con- certs and art exhibits. The third is the Liberal community, founded in 1970, which currently has 400 members. It was the first Liberal Jewish com- munity in Switzerland. An- other has since been formed in Zurich. The Geneva Lib- eral group have their own religious services, con- ducted by Rabbi Francois Garai, a Sunday school for Hebrew and religious studies and many social ac- tivities, including camps for the youth. The smallest community is the Orthodox (Machzikey Hadat). It was established 20 years ago by Hungarian Jews for whom the existing Geneva communities were not sufficiently observant. Headed by Rabbi Abraham Schlesinger, the community consists of 50 families who maintain a Talmud Torah and plan to open a Yiddish-Hebrew day school shortly. Geneva had a community of English-speaking Jews comprised of people who worked for international organizations headquar- tered here or employed by American firms with Geneva branches. But that community closed down last year after most foreigners left and the remaining members joined the other communities. Geneva Jews have one kosher restaurant, the well. What has been de- scribed as the "good life on the lake" has been endangered. ORT is consid- ering the transfer of its Geneva office to London. There are about 500 Is- raelis living in Geneva. Some work for interna- tional organizations, others for banks and there are stu- dents.
