NEW YORK (JTA) —

seder table

his country's voluntary
medical aid for Cambodian
refugees received Hadas-
sah's first "Lovers of Peace"
Award Sunday at a
$2,500-a-plate dinner at the
Plaza Hotel here.
Nathan is known for his
"Peace Ship" which plies
the Mediterranean waters
between Egypt, Lebanon
and Syria to whom he
broadcasts messages of
friendship to more than 30
million listeners. The
broadcasts are in Hebrew,
Arabic, French and
English.
In presenting the award
to Nathan, Bernice Tan-
nenbaum, national
president of Hadassah, re-
called: In 1977, with spe-
cial - permission from
President (Anwar) Sadat,
Nathan broke the barriers
between Egypt and Israel
when he took his Peace Ship
through the Suez Canal.
"During the Guatemala
earthquake, Abie spent
three months there and
helped to rebuild several
hundred homes in the
town of Sanarate and
personally contributed
the sum of $60,000 toward
the project.
"In 1978, in the midst of
the suffering and shelling of
the people of Lebanon, the
Peace Ship sailed into Be-
irut carrying a cargo of an
ambulance and medical
supplies to aid the unfortu-
nate victims of violence
caused by guests in their
own country. When the
Peace Ship was turned
back, he sailed to Cyprus
where he distributed the
cargo among the Lebanese
refugees there."
Rose Matzkin, national
Hadassah Medical Organ-
ization chairman, said that
Hadassah doctors, volun-
teering in the Cambodian
field hospitals, expressed
gratitude to Nathan "who
helped us immesnely in
practical ways." Dinner
chairman, Gladys Zales,
announced that $250,000
was raised at the dinner for
the Hadassah Medical
Organization.
