lem.
Finance Minister Yigal
Cohen-Orgad, in an address
to the Bond leaders last Fri-
day, described Israel's eco-
nomic problems as a "tran-
sition" and not as a "crisis."
He said, "Last October the
government began switch-
ing the direction of the
economy, to do something to
narrow the balance of pay-
ments deficit.
"You have been hearing
something of a crisis here,
but I tell you it is not a crisis
but only a transition,"
Cohen-Orgad said. "We
have embarked on a pro-
gram of controlled auster-
ity, and in a year we shall
turn that into a program of
controlled rebirth of our
economic growth."

U.S. Cager Quits
Israeli Team

TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
Maccabi Tel Aviv basket-
ball team this week re-
leased Joel Kramer, a
highly touted former player
in the United States' Na-
tional Basketball Associa-
tion who had signed a con-
tract with the Maccabi team
for a reported $100,000 a
year.
The 28-year-old Kramer,
who starred in his collegiate
career at San Diego State
University and then went
on to play for the Phoenix
Suns, signed a one-year con-
tract last year with Maccabi
Tel Aviv, the leading club in
the National Basketball
League. The contract pro-
vided an option for two suc-
ceeding years, which man-
agement and Kramer
agreed to waive mutually.
He reportedly became
very discontent with the
new coach of the Tel Aviv
team, Zvica Scherf, and also
with developments within
the managerial ranks of the
organization.
A prelude to Kramer's
imminent departure oc-
cured last Christmas when
the Maccabi team played in
a tournament in London
and Kramer did not suit up
for the contest.

New Haggada from Ktav

In addition to the tradi-
tional guide for conducting
the Seder, "The Passover
Haggada" by Rabbi Shlomo
Riskin (Ktav), offers
readers contemporary
commentary in the form of
lectures by Rabbi Riskin.
The lectures, which were
given during a number of
model Seders at Riskin's
Lincoln Square Synagogue
in New York, are scattered
throughout the text in
appropriate sections.
Although the Haggada
does not dwell on the his-
toric or halakhic aspects of
Passover, it does manage to
show how the holiday
prayers and recitations re-
flect the essence of Pesach.
The volume elaborates on
such fundamental concepts
as freedom, messianism,
particularism and univer-
salism.
Along with his post as the
spiritual leader at Lincoln
Square Synagogue, Rabbi
Riskin is the founder and
dean of the Ohr Torah Insti-
tute rabbinical seminary

thodox Jews in the U.S.
and high school.
