Declaring that 1978 was "a very good year" for North American investments in Israel, Lynn said that "in. 1979, many more American companies realized that Is- rael is an ideal location for their research and de- velopment and high- technology operations." He said that the last year's in- vestments included invest- ments by National Semiconductor, Motorola, Chromalloy and Baldwin and were part of 50 new projects. "This is .a 50 percent in- crease over the $80 million invested in 1977," Lynn said, noting that- total foreign investment in Israel rose to an estimated $165 million, an increase of 43 percent over $115 million invested in 1977. Both Dinstein and Lynn predicted that 1979 will even witness greater increase in investment in Israel by American com- panAes. According to Dinstein, "hundreds of American firms are al- ready involved in Israel's economy," among them firms from the "big league of companies" in America.

He added that 1979 also signified a diversifica- tion of investments, a broadening beyond the high technology industries. He observed that there is increasing interest in fi- nancial and real estate ven- tures. Canadian investors are about to buy the gov- ernment's share in the largest mortgage bank in Israel; a group of investors from the Midwest has indi- cated a desire to buy the government-owned Mari- time Bank; a U.S. insurance company is finalizing negotiations to buy an in- surance company in Israel. There is also substan. tial private investment in real estate and co struction projects, Lyna_ said.

The proposition that the fate of Jewish neighbor- hoods involved in the re- habilitation of changing areas in New York City will be largely determined by the extent to which Jews work with other ethnic groups was a key conclusion of participants in the fourth annual Breakfast on Social Concerns' sponsored by Agudath Israel. Agudath officials said the 250 participants heard re-, ports of the new joining of forces between various ethnic groups in such Brooklyn Jewish neighbr- hoods as Borough Park and Flatbush. , Mitchell Sviridoff, a former commissioner of the city's Human Resources Administration and -pre- sently vice president for na- tional affairs at the Ford Foundation, said this new concept was "a far cry" from confrontation philosophies or "the fantasies of commu- nity control advocates." He said "most neighborhood groups now understand that protest without programs is dooined to failure." Menahem Rabbi Lubinsky, Agudath Is- rael's Project COPE di- rector, declared that Jews are realizing more and more that "their only hope for survival in the urban neighborhood is to join with other ethnic groups." He said that "where once it was thought that the prolifer- ation of services would keep neighborhoods from decline, it is now a fact that Jews are begin- ning to shift emphasis to community organization in many neighborhoods." Rabbi Lubinsky, col- laborating in a special re- search report released at the meeting, with Rabbi Shmuel Lefkowitz, director of the Southern Brooklyn Community Organization (SBCO), said there have been successful cooperatWe efforts of ethnic groups in Borough Park and Flat- bush, adding that "the four-story walk-up has emerged as the major enemy of stable neighbor- hoods." Rabbi Lubinsky told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that such walkup build- ings, lacking elevators, "in- fect" better housing and at- tract criminal elements. As an example of inter- ethnic cooperation, Rabbi Lubinsky cited the Flat- bush section where Italians and Jews are mem- bers of the advisory board of SBCO, organized by Agudath Israel as an inter- ethnic project, with Ita- lians, Greeks and Hispanics as well as Jews. Dr. Seymour Lachman, former president of the New York City Board of Education, said "Jews have concentrated on urban communities, not only to partake of the so- cial mobility and eco- nomic advancement into middle-class status of- fered by a free society bu k, of equal importance fo American Jewry, for sense of Jewish commu- nity:, -- He noted that Jews need a minyan with which to pray; they need at.least a havrusa (study partner) with who to learfi; they need a bic holim with which to visit and aid the sick; they need a hevra kadisha (burial' society) with which to tak care of their dead; a mikva (ritual bath) with which maintain family purity; an supervision of kashrut "and all of these and muc more require a community*' Academy Names Tuchman .
