Yom Kippur Date
Brings Apology
NEW YORK (JTA) —
The officials of the annual
Frankfurt Bookfair have
apologized because the 1984
fair will fall on Yom Kippur.
The West German fair this
year will be Oct. 3-8 and
Yom Kippur is Oct. 6.
The apology came in the
form of a letter expressing
"regret" to all the Jewish
exhibitors and participants
from Ronald Weber of the
fair's press and information
department in Publishers
Weekly, the trade magazine
of the book industry.
"For various reasons the
dates of the 1984 book fair
cannot be changed," Weber
wrote. "We are, however,
doing everything in our
power to give our Jewish
guests the opportunity of
celebrating this festival in
Frankfurt. The city's
Jewish community would
gladly welcome any visitors
wishing to attend worship
and subsequently to par-
ticipate in a kosher meal."
Hungarian Jews
There are approximately
90,000 Jews remaining in
Hungary, with a very active
communal structure. The
American Jewish Joint Dis-
tribution Committee aids
Hungarian Jewry with an
allocation of $1 million
yearly. Much of the JDC
subsidy is used for the
kosher kitchen in Budapest,
which provides 1,000
kosher meals daily.
