Co-Existence With Optimism
Is Sadat's Emphasis in Haifa

Greenberg Inspires HMC
Backers; $400,000 Raised

With Zakhor — Remember! — as a slogan, supporters of the
Holocaust Memorial Center project, meeting at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Dorfman, Aug. 30, inaugurated the campaign for $1.5
million for the establishment of the planned museum and educational
project. The proposed Holocaust Center will be erected adjoining and
linking the Jewish Community Center on Drake and Maple Rds.
At the inaugural fund-raising meeting, $400,000 was pledged,
and with previous contributions the available fund now totals
$720,000, it was announced by Dorfman, who presided at the gather-
ing.
The objectives of the project were commended and highly endorsed
in an address by Dr. Irving Greenberg, director of the President's
Commission on the Holocaust:
In his remarks, Dr. Greenberg, said, "We are at the beginning
of the third era of Jewish history, shaped by the Holocaust and
an event of redemption — the rebirth of Israel.
"Just as in the first era of
Jewish history when we had the
Temple, and in the second when
we developed structures — rab-
bis — in the third era we will
develop institutions such as the
Holocaust Memorial Center."
Dr. Greenberg said that the
U.S. Was too big to have one
Holocaust Memorial Center in
Washington, D.C.. He said that
they should be in every commu-
nity, like synagogues. "Out of
the center we find a comprehen-
sion of the Holocaust."
He said the memorial center

i'Frost Bacteria Found

TEL AVIV -- Frost damage in citrus is an
infectious disease of the plant, caused by a bac-
terium, according to Prof. Zev Levin of the De-
partment of Geophysics and Planetary Sciences
and Prof. Saul Yankofsky of the Department of
Microbiology at Tel Aviv University. The TAU
scientists have isolated a new bacterium which
causes ice formation on the surface of leaves
resulting in destruction of plant tissue and in-
troduction of destructive microorganisims.
Scientists the world over have long been
baffled by the formation of frost on the leaves
and fruit of citrus trees at minus two degrees
Centigrade (28 degrees Fl, while pure water
only turns to ice at about minus 40 degrees
Centigrade (minus 40 degrees F).

HAIFA (JTA) — Egyptian, President Anwar Sadat said Wednesday afternoon that he
foresees the better part of an agreement on Jerusalem by the end of this year, as well as the
participation of other Arab states in the peace-making process.
"If we don't reach by the end of this year the final touch (on Jerusalem), we will be leaping a
very big step toward this," Sadat told hundreds of newsmen assembled for the press conference
he gave together with Premier Menahem Begin. "Jerusalem is a very sensitive matter for
members of all three religions, and we need more time and careful study on the whole thing. But
some 800 million 'Moslems are looking toward Arab Jerusalem and this must be taken into
account." Begin stressed a-unified Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
The Egyptian president also sounded optimistic on the chances of incorporating other Arab
states into the peace negotiations, noting that "they are welcome. I anticipate that by the end of
this year (they will participate)." However, Sadat just as consistently resounded with his
well-known statements on a comprehensive peace settlement, mentioning the issue some seven
times during his prepared speech and linking it in with many of the questions posed by
newsmen.
"All our meetings, our efforts, our agreements," said Sadat, are aimed at achieving
what we are after in the end result — a comprehensive peace settlement. Why did I

Israel's Charm Wins Sadat's Family

HAIFA (JTA) — The eldest daughter of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, Maha, said Wednesday
mornings that she hopes to return to Israel for a more extensive tour of the country, adding that she is
impressed with the warmth and hospitality accorded her by the Israeli people. "People here have really
been so warm to me," she told a reporter for Israel Radio, "and I would love to come back at the first
opportunity."
On Tuesday, the young and attractive woman was taken on an impromptu tour of the city of Haifa,
during which she-requested to meet with an Israeli family. She spent 45 minutes with an Israeli family in a
Haifa suburb.
She also expressed a desire to see Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, but realized that during the
pressing three-day tour she would not be able to reach either of these two cities. She will have to
wait until her next visit to Israel to conduct a more extensive tour of the country, she said. .
Sadat's wife, Jihan, lavishly exclaimed that "I really feel like home here, and I'm very happy to meet
with Ofira Navon and to be here among you." Noting that she wants to meet "the people and the children,"
she only lamented that the time allotted in Israel was so short.

Jewish Enrollment Climbs

ORT Centennial StarnP.

NEW YORK — Enrollment in all types of Jewish schools in Greater New
York increased 1.4 percent during 1978-1979, and for the first time, day
school enrollment surpassed supplementary schools, according to a study
released by the Board of Jewish Education of Greater New York.
BJE Executive Vice President Dr. Alvin I. Schiff indicated that 110,177
pupils were enrolled in Greater New York's 601 Jewish schools during
1978-1979, an increase of 1,598 pupils over the previous year. Schiff pointed
out that enrollments had been fairly stable during the past two years, and
that the increase represents what could be a new trend.
Nationally, five new day schools have been established in time for the
new school year. The new schools bring the total number of Hebrew day
schools now in the U.S. to 467, with an additional 54 in Canada for a total of
521 Hebrew Day Schools in North America. It is expected that the enrollment
this year in North America will reach appoximately 93,300 students, of
which about 11,000 are Canadian students, according to a report by Torah
Umesorah; the national society for Hebrew Day Schools.
