Israel Couture at Bond Fashion Show
Guests at the all-Israel
Fashion Show, produced by
Leah Marks, to be presented
at Cong. Shaarey Zedek
next Thursday, will witness
the marriage of two leading
sectors of Israel's economy:
fashion and tourism.
Featured at the noon
fashion show, preceded by a
10:30 a.m. brunch, will be
uniforms to be worn by
members of Israel's Tourist
Courtesy Patrol, organized
by the government to give,
assistance and information
to the more than two million
tourists who are expected to
visit Israel during 1982.
Finy Leitersdorf, the
doyenne of Israeli couture,
has designed the eye-
catching, easy-to-see bright
orange outfits. Ms.
Leitersdorf, director of Is-
rael's Fashion Design
Workshop, has inspired new
generations of top designers
who are playing a major role
in Israel's continuing suc-
cess in the apparel industry.
The diversity of tourist
attractions are reflected in
the fashion show which fea-
tures clothes to wear on a
journey to Israel. The collec-
tion includes swim and
loungewear for Israel's
beaches and poolsides;
sportswear for tennis, golf
or sailing; casuals for visit-
ing historical, archeological
and biblical sites from the
Negev to the Galilee;
streetwear for browsing in
museums, shopping in the
Oriental bazaars and up-
to-date specialty -Shops, city
tours and gallery visits;
evening wear for concerts,
theater, ballet and enjoying
nightlife. Topping every-
thing off are furs.
Fashion, too, has been a
growth industry. Early in
Israel's history, the nation's
economic planners
encouraged investment in
exportable textile and ap-
parel manufacture with dol-
lars from Israel's Develop-
ment Budget.
The funciton of the
Courtesy Patrol is two-
fold: to provide visitors
with information about
hotels, restaurants, spe-
cial attractions and
tours, and to inspect res-
taurants, hotels and
other facilities to make
sure that they are up to
standard.
Further impetus to the
growth of the fashion in-
dustry is given by the
Women's Division of Is-
rael Bonds which spon-
sors annual all-Israel
fashion shows in the
United States and
Canada. Admission is by
a 1982 minimum pur-
chase of $500 in Israel
Bonds.
The creation of the
Tourist Courtesy Patrol re-
flects Israel's long-standing
concentration on assuring
visitors that the Israel ex-
perience will be enjoyable
and unforgettable. That
tourism has been a growth
industry in Israel despite
Middle East unrest over the
years speaks significantly
of Israel's success in this
endeavor.

Yeshiva U. Linguist Solves
Riddle of Ancient Scroll
NEW YORK — An an-
cient Egyptian manuscript,
previously thought to be un-
translatable, has been de-
ciphered by a Yeshiva Uni-
versity professor.
The manuscript contains
portions of Jewish psalms
addressed to Egyptian gods,
according to Dr. Richard C.
Steiner of the university's
Bernard Revel Graduate
School. Dr. Steiner said the
discovery might provide
concrete evidence that
psalms were used for wor-
ship outside Jerusalem, as
well as a rare and early
example of,an ancient reli-
gion borrowing another's
rituals.
Dr. Steiner, a linguist,
also said the translation
would aid in the under-
standing of how Aramaic, a
Semitic language with some
parallels to ancient He-
brew, was spoken.
The manuscript, 422 lines
of text believed to date from
the Second Century BCE,
was originally discovered
during the 19th Century in
Thebes, Egypt. It is now
housed at the Pierpont
Morgan Library in New
York.
