New Jerusalem Landmark?

NEW YORK — An
Israeli-born artist is seek-
ing approval to construct a
modern gate to the city of
Jerusalem that would span
the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem
Highway and frame the city
from a point more than
three miles away, the New
York Times reported.
The gate is the dream of
Gvora Novak, a 49-year-old
Sabra who now resides in
New York. The only official
obstacles remaining in
Novak's path, according to
the Times,'are the final two
stages of Israeli legal proce-
dure for such projects; ap-
proval of the plan by the
Minister of Interior and
permission to alter the
highway. -
Novak has had a tougher
time convincing the Israeli
public to accept the gate,
however, the Times re-
ported. The idea of a 250 ft.,
stainless steel helix covered
with a coat of gold paint has
drawn a mixed reaction
from Israelis.
"The golden arch is the
trademark of the
McDonald's hamburger
chain," a reader wrote to the
Jerusalem Post. "Mr.

decision should weigh not only the risks and potential, but also the
tax implications of an action. And that's why tax planning is an
integral part of financial planning. To find out more about the
