Temple Beth El Will Hold 38th
Institute for Christian Clergy
The 38th annual B. Be-
nedict Glazer Institute on
Judaism for the Christian
Clergy of Metropolitan De-
troit will be held 10 a.m.
Feb. 15 at Temple Beth El.
Dr. Frederick C.
Schwartz, spiritual leader
of Temple Sholom of
Chicago, will speak on
"From the 70s to the 1970s
— The Four Party System:
Essenes, Sadducees, Zealots
and Pharisees."
Rabbi Marc H. Tannen-
baum, national inter-
religious affairs director of
the American Jewish

Israel to Get
Iran's F-16s
WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The 75 F-16 fighter planes
that Israel has ordered from
the United States will be in
Israel's possession by Oc-
tober 1981 instead of in
1984 or 1985 as originally
expected.
The advance in the deliv-
ery date was noted by the
Pentagon and General
Dynamics Corp., manufac-
turer of the jet combat
plane. It was made possible
because the Israeli govern-
ment picked up the contract
for 55 of the aircraft which
the U.S. had made with Iran
but which was cancelled
after the revolution in that
country last year.
The Pentagon and Gen-
eral Dynamics also dis-
closed that the first of the 75
aircraft "currently con-
tracted" was turned over to
the Israel Air Force last
week at Fort Worth, Texas
and flown by Brig. Gen.
Amos Lapidot of the Israel
Air Force and U.S. Air
Force Maj. H.W. Powly to
Hill Air Force Base in Utah
for training Israeli pilots.
The number of Israeli pilots
at the Utah air base was not
disclosed.
Swiss Block
Saudi Chalet
GENEVA (JTA) — The
citizens of the Swiss village
of Saanen have banded to-
gether to block the sale of a
chalet to Saudi Arabian
Minister of Civil Aviation
Addulla Mandi. Werner
Raaflaub, a resident of the
hamlet near Gstaad, or-
ganized a local committee to
take legal action against
the sale.
They turned down an
offer by Mandi to donate
400,000 Swiss francs to the
village for an agricultural
project if he is allowed to
buy the property which is
owned by a French busi-
nessman.
The ban was enforced by
invoking a Swiss law that
contains restrictions on the'
sale of property to for-
eigners. for about

Israel's First Lady Learns
'How to Cope With Cancer
JERUSALEM — "Life
looks different after you
undergo treatment for
cancer," Ofira Navon said in
a recent interview. "You
realize what things are
really important; like fam-
ily, faith and friendship."
The interview, part of a
story in the Jerusalem Post,
was given shortly after the
wife of Israel's president re-
ceived her first
chemotherapy treatment at
Hadassah University Hos-
pital. Mrs. Navon also re-
ceived special treatment at
the Beth Israel Hospital in
Boston.
Before she discovered last
August that she had breast
cancer, Mrs. Navon thought
that the disease meant a
hopeless end. Since then,
she has learned that there
are 100 types of cancer, and
various stages to each one.
It has been reported that
one-third of all cases in Is-
rael are cured and in many
others life can be prolonged.
Her treatment in Bos-
ton, involving the im-
plantation of radioactive
needles, was done in lieu
of a mastectomy. "I had
to fight like mad against
it (the mastectomy)," she
recalls. Her doctors in
Jerusalem had originally
insisted that she undergo
the traditional treatment
for breast cancer.
However, Mrs. Navon
had read that in the United
States, doctors were now
giving their patients a
choice between the radical
and often psychologically
damaging mastectomy, and
the riskier, more experi-
mental approach.
The new approach, which
has been used in America
10 years, involves
removal of only the tumor.
followed by chemotherapy
and radiation treatments.
"Women should at least
know that they have an op-
tion," said Mrs. Navon, not-
ing that the implantation
technique will be available
in Israel in a few months.
Mrs. Navon flew to the
U.S. alone, but an old
friend who lives in New
York was with her before
and after her hospitaliza-
tion. Her explanation for
not taking someone from
Israel is that she was
worried about criticism
and
in the press
elsewhere that she was
wasting public money.
She was amused by the
fact that she had to use an
assumed name, Judith Co-
hen, for security reasons.
"The name was picked out
by our embassy. When I an-
swered the phone I was
Judith Cohen and the name
is even on the luggage that I
used. The staff in the hospi-
tal used that name, but
gradually they asked if they
could call me Mrs. Navon
and finally they called me
Ofira."
She was overwhelmed by
the outpouring of good
wishes here and abroad.
Everyone from Britain's
Queen Elizabeth to local
schoolchildren sent her
greetings.
