Israel to Aid
Arab Villagers
SAFED (JNI) — With Is-
raeli government support
and funding, Akbara will be
turned into a modern vil-
lage for the refugees who
deserted their homes during
the 1948 War of Indepen-
dence, the Prime Minister's
adviser on Arab affairs
Binyamin Gur-Arye stated
this month.
The government intends
to invest more than 50 mil-
lion shekels ($1.6 million) to
build roads and public serv-
ices for 50 families who fled
their original settlement of
Kadita and built huts near
, Safed. Some eventually
moved to neighboring Arab
villages, but the majority
decided to remain and build
in Akbara.
The government has also
aided other Arabs who de -
erted their pre-state vil-
lages to settle elsewhere,
including some 50 Arabs
who are currently building
homes in Rama village, on
the Akko-Safed highway.

Rabbi Asserts
Secular Judaism
Is Bankrupt
'
NEW YORK — Secular
Judaism is bankrupt, be-
cause the "once strong sense
of ethnic consciousness"
among Jews is fading,
Rabbi Walter S.
Wurzburger, president of
the Synagogue Council of
America, told a group of
rabbis last week.
In order to fill the void left-
by withering secularism,
Dr. Wurzburger added, the
synagogue must be "re-
Judai zed."
Dr. Wurzburger, who is
also adjunct professor of
philosophy at Yeshiva Uni-
versity, was a member of a
panel discussing "The Fu-
ture of the Synagogue" at
the 38th annual convention
of the Alumni of the Rabbi
Isaac Elchanan Theological
Seminary in Spring Glen,
N.Y.

Exports Booming
TEL AVIV (ZINS) — Ac-
cording to foreign orders, Is-
rael will export 12 percent
of its industry this year. The
value of the increase is es-
timated to be $4.25 billion.
Some Israeli experts be-
lieve that it is possible to
double the exports in four
months while employing
100,000 people.
In 1981, Israel exported
arms which were valued at
20 percent more than its
usual industrial exports.
The receivers of these
weapons are mainly Third
World countries in Africa
and Asia, or ones in which
the government is
threatened by internal fric-
tions, as in Latin America.
