600 Honor Lakers
on Behalf of JNF

By HEIDI PRESS

With an anecdotal tribute
to the honorees in Yiddish,
State Sen. Jack Faxon
opened the program portion
of the annual Jewish Na-
tional Fund testimonial
dinner, this year honoring
Harry and Sarah Laker.
Speaking to nearly 600
guests at Cong. Shaarey
Zedek Wednesday, Faxon
cited the accomplishments
of the couple and presented
them with a proclamation
from the state legislature.
r
Tributes to the couple
were read by their son, Irv-
ing Laker, dinner chair-
man. Sending greetings
were Michigan Sens. Carl
Levin and Donald Riegle
and the national offices of
• Bnai Brith, State of Israel
Bonds and the Zionist
Organization of America.
Son Martin Laker gave
an emotional tribute to
his parents, prior to in-
troducing the guest
speaker, Dr. Samuel I.
Cohen, executive vice
president of the JNF.
Cohen talked about Is-
rael's drive into Lebanon,
its Peace for Galilee mis-
sion.
He said Israel undertook
the mission, not to take
territory, but "for one pur-
pose, to provide peace for'
the people who live in
Galilee."
He recapitulated the
events leading up to Israel's
mission, the PLO bom-
bardment of Israel's north-
ern boundary which
wrought "tremendous de-
struction of our land."
He added that the fact
that the Israelis did not
evacuate "bespeaks a
heroism many people
ever think about."
Dr. Cohen said that now
Israel's first priority is to es-
- tablish population centers
around its boundaries. "It is
the best defense of the

perimeter Israel has."
In his greetings to the
gathering, Dr.. Cohen also
cited Philip Slomovitz,
editor and publisher of The
Jewish News; Ruben Isaacs,
president of Detroit JNF;
and Percy Kaplan, execu-
tive director of Detroit JNF.
Dr. Harold . Laker of
Chicago, the honoree's
brother, gave a brief extem-
poraneous tribute to his
brother and sister-in-law.
Greetings also were
brought by U.S. District
Court Judge Avern
Cohn, president of the
Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion.
Cantor Harold Orbach of
Temple Israel tendered the
couple a musical tribute.
He was accompanied by Dr.
Morton Gold, Temple Israel
choral director.
The honorees' son, Dr.
Gerald L. Laker, recited the
invocation.
Isaacs, in his remarks,
gave a JNF update, listing
projects in the works in Is-
rael. Among them are the
expansion of 30 outposts in
the Galilee, irrigation and
building in the Negev and
expansion of beach fronts in
Eilat and Ashkelon. Isaacs
said nearly 400 projects
costing about $100 million
were currently under con-
struction.
Rabbi Milton Arm of
Cong. Beth Achim, where
the senior Lakers hold
membership, presented
the couple with a menora
plaque "in• appreciation
for their service to the
community." The Lakers'
grandchildren con-
cluded the program with
a benediction.
Cantor Max Shimansky
of Cong. Beth Achim, ac-
companied by Lillian
Zellman, sang the anthems
and Cantor Sidney Rube of
Cong. Shaarey Zedek re-
cited the Birchat.

Israeli Diplomat Praised

By RABBI MARC
TANENBAUM

Seven Arts Feature

The attempted assassina-
tion by Palestinian ter-
rorists of Israel's ambas-
sador to Great Britain,
Shlomo Argov, is the latest
evidence in arguing the case
for not allowing the PLO
and its murderous branches
into civilized society.

Youthful, brilliant, dedi-
cated, a devoted husband
and father of three children,
Argov rapidly became one of
the most competent and re-
spected diplomats in the Is-
rael Foreign Service. When
he served as Israel's ambas-
sador in Nigeria and
Ghana, Africans trusted
him because he was direct,
honest, and hated all the
striped-pants pretensions of
conventional diplomacy.
And the diplomatic corps in
Washington and London
saw Argov as among the ab-
lest of the new breed of am-
bassadors who regarded
people as more important
than ideology.

fantaticism and moral
anarchy have gone wild in
the Arab world. The same
fanaticism killed American
diplomats in Beirut, the
Sudan and elsewhere. We
had best find ways to con-
tain that hatred now.
