ABRAHAM SATOVSKY I wish my family and friends a very healthy, happy and prosperous New Year RUTH SCHARG I wish my family and friends a very healthy, happy and prosperous New Year - World-Wide Audience Informed, Entertained by Israel Radio JERUSALEM — The English external service of Israel Radio is picked up by shortwave listeners from every corner of the world and the programming pro- vides a unique vehicle for a clearer understanding of the intricacies of the Jewish state. One of the most popular shows is "Calling All Lis- teners" (CAL), the weekly mailbox program which airs on Sundays. CAL is co- hosted by Rosalyn Gelcer and Yishai Eldar. Ms. Gelcer, who is also a news announcer, is rated as the 11th most popular in- ternational radio person by the American-based Inter- national Broadcasting Services Ltd. Most of the letters an- swered on CAL are from the United States, Great Brit- ain and West Germany. But listeners also write in from Japan, Finland, the Nether- lands and as far away as Tristan da Cunha, an island near the South Pole. And, according to Ms. Gelcer, most of the letters she and Yishai get are from non- Jews. What do listeners want to know? Well, they have asked whether there is a value added tax in Israel, if there are golf courses in the state, why Israel celebrates the new year in September or October and not in January, and if Israel has its own space program. The subjects raised are endless. Two other popular pro- grams air on Friday. Ep- hraim Geffen hosts "Thank Goodness It's Friday," which features an interview or two on Jewish life, a study of the portion of the week from the Torah, and possibly the latest news from the Jewish world. Idele Ross presents "Shabat Shalom," where she plays listeners' requests and sends their greetings. "Living Here," a Monday program which reports on immigrants living in Israel, is also hosted by Ms. Ross. Prior to each program, listeners can hear the latest news from Israel. In 1979, the English news depart, ment of Israel Radio was judged by a panel of shortwave listeners in the U.S. as the "Best Source of News About the Station's Own Region." Large numbers of let- ters arrive at the English Department following the breaking of Middle East news events which have made world head- lines. Comments on the type of coverage that was provided by the news de- partment vary. However, for the most part, listen- ers have hailed the "ob- jectivity" with which controversial issues are reported. The transcription service of Israel Radio also offers programs in English that can be acquired by local sta- tions throughout the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. These programs range from the weekly news and feature close-up, "Israel Magazine," to the "Israeli Press Review" and the pro- gram for Christians, "In The Holy Land." These broadcasts have been sub- scribed to by a large number of stations, including var- ious national networks such as Mutual Broadcasting in the United States. Some of Kol Yisrael's He- brew broadcasts can be heard on short wave as well. Israel radio's broadcasts abroad work on modest budgets. Their success speaks for itself in the re- sponses of the listening pub- lic all over the world, re- sponses as numerous in their quantity as they are varied in their sources. This 2,000 Year Old Theater is the satisfaction of the people behind the broad- casts and this is their singu- lar contribution to the taks of presenting Israel to the world. lanDn ral\I Tian Best wishes for a happy, healthy New Year and relatives JAY & BLANCHE JOSEPH ELIZABETH & BENJAMIN EIZELMAN We wish our family and friends a very healthy, happy and prosperous New Year MARILYN & JERRY EFRUSY, BRIAN & CRAIG We wish our family and friends a very healthy, happy and prosperous New Year PAULLA & HAROLD EPSTEIN, SAM & ANDY We wish our family and friends a very healthy, happy and prosperous New Year THE FRIEDBERGS - Marilyn, Los Angeles, Ca. - Lisa, Jerry, Lauren & Mickey, Huntington Beach, Ca.

Shown is the Roman theater at Bet Shean in northern Israel. Last year, archeologists discovered a full amphitheater nearby. Plans are to combine the two sites into a major antiquities park. Call for Israel Liquidation "The liquidation of Israel is one of the means we adopt to achieve unity and free- dom in the Arab world. We know that liberation is a long-term goal, but I am about to determine that, at the end of this year, a demo- cratic Palestinian state will be established." The above statement was made by Hani Hassan, political adviser to Yasir Arafat, at a rally organized by students at American University in Beirut mark- ing the 17th anniversary of Fatah activity.
