The Swiss Foreign Ministry refused to sign a welfare agreement with Is- rael because it would have had to be signed in Jerusalem. On the other hand, the Defense Ministry con- tracted to buy weapons from Israel's military industry for 38 million Swiss Francs (about $75 million). Israel Bonds sell well in Switzer- land; $4.8 million worth have been sold this year. On the local level, the Jewish community in Zurich is proud of its new school, "Noam," which opened this year. It has eight primary classes and an initial enrollment of 34 children. The Zurich com- munity has also opened a school for retarded Jewish children. It has an enroll- ment of 50.
