Travel to Jewish Roots
in Eastern Europe
Budapest Synagogue and Jewish Museum located on Dohany
Street. Synagogue dates back to 1859.
For the first time American Jewry
is being given the opportunity to
combine pleasure travel to Eastern
Europe with the search for family and
cultural roots. Interest in the search
for "roots" has been spurred by Alex
Haley's book and its subsequent
television serialization. The filming
of "Holocaust" on NBC further
stimulated this interest. .
Over three decades have passed
since the end of World War II. The
years have taken their toll on all, that
remained of Jewish communities fol-
lowing the downfall of Nazi Ger-
many. What little remains today is
doomed to be lost in oblivion as the
years roll by. Time is definitely
limited for one to search for the
homeland from which his or her fam-
ily emigrated and which fathered
much of our culture and traditions.
The possibilities of walking the
streets our ancestors walked, of se-
eing the places where our forefathers
lived, of touching the cemetery stone
of a-long-departed grandparent or
great grandparent, and of visiting the
remaining historic landmarks of
once vibrant and creative Jewish
communities, are possibilities in
which few of Jewish heritage, can
deny interest.
For this reason, Foreign Tours,
Inc., a major New York tour oper-
ator, is introducing a new tour pro-
gram entitled Jewish Roots in
Eastern Europe. Foreign Tours
has been the leading U.S. operator of
travel to Israel for the past 20 years,
and pioneered low=cost travel to that
area. The new program is considered
to be a natural extension of services
provided to their predominently-
Jewish clientele.
There are two basic 15-day
itineraries with departures from
March to October, 1979. Each tour
features round-trip air transportation
via Pan Am, deluxe and first-class
hotels throughout, breakfast and
dinner daily, transfers, sightseeing
with entrance fees included, taxes
and service charges. The $3 U.S.
departure tax and visa fees are not
included.
Inter-Party Knesset Vote
OK's Camp David Accords
Sprcial to The Jewish News
JERUSALEM — Israel's
120-member Knesset ended
17-hours of nationally tele-
vised debate late Wednes-
day and endorsed the Camp
David Middle East peace
accords and the withdrawal
of Israeli settlements from
the Rafiah Salient of the
northern Sinai. The vote
was 84-19, with 17 absten-
tions.
The Knesset vote clears
the way for peace talks be-
tween Israel and Egypt to
finalize the framework for
peace drawn up two weeks
ago at the Camp David, Md.
summit conference.
The final vote was taken
at 3:30 a.m. Thursday (9:30
p.m. Wednesday Detroit
time).
The debate was pre-
ceded by a special
Cabinet meeting, sum-
moned by Premier
Menahem Begin at the
request of Energy Minis-
ter Yitzhak Modai, who
sought "more clarifica-
tions" on aspects of the,
summit accords.
The first 15-day tour costs $1,075
per person, double occupancy, and
combines visits to Poland and
Czechoslovakia. It starts in Warsaw
(3 nights), goes on to Lublin (1
night), continues to Krakow (3
nights), then Bratslava (2 nights),
and finally Prague (4-nights). There
is comprehensive sightseeing
throughout with special emphasis on
points of -Jewish interest. Ample free
time is allowed in each city to afford
tour participants the opportunity of
exploring on their own to search out
family foots in that city or in
neighboring towns and villagek.
The second 15-day tour costs
$1,125 per person, double occu-
pancy, and visits Romania and Hun-
gary with an itinerary that includes
Budapest (4 nights), Szeged (1
night), Baia Mare (2 nights),
Sucefiva (1 night), .Piatra Neamt (1
night) with visits to Botosani and
Iasi, Poiana Brasov (1 night) and
Bucharest (3 nights). Here, again,
extensive sightseeing is combined
with a generous amount of free time
for personal exploration,.
Max Mermelstein, General Man-
ager of Foreign Tours' Eastern
Europe Department, hirriself a sur-
vivor of the Holocaust in Poland, has
spent many months developing
plans and making arrangements for
the Jewish Roots in Eastern
Europe tours. He is personally
supervising the tour operation and
will be pleased to answer all ques-
tions from interested parties. Simply;
phone (212) 764-0345.
Initially, the tours are being of-
fered to special groups, primarily na-
tional Jewish organizations, temples
and fraternal groups with appropri-
ate ethnic interest. Individuals, how-
ever, will be accommodated as part
of the groups. Rabbis, community
leaders, educators, tour organizers
and travel agents desiring to form
their own groups or to join an exist-
ing group are invited to request
further information by writing to:
Jewish Roots do Foreign Tours,
Inc., 1140 Avenue of the Americas,
New York, New York 10036.
After that meeting Modai
told newsmen he was now
inclined to back the accords.
Begin told the Cabinet he
would resign if the accords
were not approved.
Ministers Hurwitz and
Eliezer Shostak of Likud's
Laam wing remained op-
posed to the pact, and were
expected to abstain, along
with NRP's Zevulun Ham-
mer. ,Observers felt an
abstention, as distinct from
an outright vote against the
government, would not re-
quire these ministers to re-
sign their Cabinet posts.
Both had voted against the
pact Monday when the
Cabinet approved the ac-
cords 11-2.
The Labor Party had
overwhelmingly endorsed
the accords earlier this
week. Shimon Peres favored
the plan, despite his criti-
cism that it was worse than
the old "Rogers Plan."
Opening the Knesset
debate, the _chairman of
the Knesset Foreign Af-
fairs and Defense Com-
mittee, Prof. Moshe
Arens, said removal of
the Rafiah settlements
would "take a brick out
of the nation's defensive
wall." He insisted that the
settlements were not a
barrier to peace. Arens, a
hardliner, is a rising star
in the Herut Party and is
considered an eventual-
candidate for high
ministerial office.
His speech was inter-
rupted several times by
hecklers from the floor —
among them the Prime
Minister.
Opposition to the accords
followed expected lines on
both sides of the political
spectrum as Yoram Aridor
of Likud told the assembled
Knesseters that "The
struggle over Sinai has
ended but the struggle over
Eretz Yisrael continues.
"His refusal to endorse the
accords was coupled by an
address by Rakah (Corn-
munist) member Meir
Nazi Store
Ruling Final
Wayne County Circuit
Judge John D. O'Hair on
Wednesday made final a
temporary restraining
order handed down two
weeks ago by Judge Robert
Columbo, forcing Detroit's
Nazi bookstore on Michigan
Ave. out of-business.
The judge said the Nazis
can remain in the store if
they run it for the purpose
for which they rented it: a
resort properties business.
He banned the Nazis
from displaying any Nazi
signs or, flags, and from
selling any Nazi
paraphernalia at the
store.
Nazi spokesman William
Russell said the group was
already looking for another
store to rent, which would
be its fourth in the Detroit
area since last December.
Wilner, who lashed out at
the accords.
"The accords have
brought no change in the
government's basic stands,"
he said. "They are still
skirting the basic issue —
the compromise on the prin-
ciple of Greater Israel."
Other Knesseters as-
sumed expected lines on
the accord, and by mid-
day, most house mem-
bers were situated in the
Knesset cafeteria, with
few left in the hall itself.
Knesseters Chaike
Grossman, Gad Yaacobi,
Benyamin Ha-Levi, Av-
raham Katz and Abba
Eban all addressed the
chambers, expressing
their support for the
peace plan.
Eban called on the house
to support the accords, "be-
cause the achievements it
brings are far greater than
the price paid."
Meanwhile, a 2,000-
person strong demonstra-
tion gathered outside the
Knesset.
The demonstrators, most
of them from settlements in
the occupied territories, cir-
culated a petition calling on
all Israeli citizens to
actively oppose the uproot-
ing of Jewish settlements.
Gush Emunim leader
Hanan Porat termed the
Knesset decision a "fact
which goes in direct op-
position to Zionist tradi-
tion, and which therefore
has no moral validity."
He added that "any deci-
sion reached by the
Knesset on dismantling
settlements will have no
bearing on the future ac-
tions of me or my col-
leagues."
Meanwhile, in Washing-
ton, President Jimmy Car-
ter continued his long-
range disagreement with
Begin over the length of
time Israel had agreed to
postpone any new settle-
ments in the West Bank.
Carter told a press con-
ference Wednesday that
Begin is wrong to insist t
Israel agreed to only
three-month delay. Earlier
this week, Begin re-checked
his Camp David notes and
said he was right on the
time frame.
