Sights and Sounds of Jerusalem
By CARL ALPERT
JERUSALEM — Every
visit to Jerusalem, even for
an Israeli, is a moving ex-
perience. It- is a city satu-
rated in history, vibrant in
the present, rich in color
and character. On our latest
visit we jotted down items of
interest.
* * *
In the heart of the rebuilt
Jewish Quarter. A young,
head-kerchiefed mother
shepherded her brood along.
One youngster paused to
pick up a sticky substance
from the filthy gutter and
advanced it tentatively to
his mouth. The mother
pounced on him: "Throw it
away at once! How do you
know if it's kosher?"
* * *
Previous visitors who
think they have already
seen everything have a sur-
prise in store. The Cardo
has been opened to the pub-
lic. Almost 2,000 years ago
this was Main Street, lined
with Roman and then with
Byzantine shops. One can
now walk along the original
worn pavement. The stores
have re-opened, but they
are the shops and boutiques
of the 20th Century, albeit
in historic and picturesque
setting.
Another new site is the
ruins of the Burnt House
— victim of the conflagra-
tion in which the Temple
was destroyed. Inscrip-
tions identify the resi-
dents, and relics
preserved under the de-
bris for 2,000 years tells
us something about their
daily life. In some re-
spects the Burnt House
stimulates more poignant
thoughts even than the
Western Wall, for it
reaches us on the per-
sonal, human level.

when tens and hundreds of
thousands of pilgrims (olei

Also in Mea Shearim, a
tattered billboard poster,
perhaps left over from the
recent elections: "For the
sake of the holiness of
Jerusalem, we choose in-
ternational rule."
* * *
The holy city abounds
in hotels. Under the law,
all five-star hotels must
maintain certain
amenities which in effect
make them all equal. The
Jerusalem Plaza, how-
ever, has an innovation
perhaps unique among
hotels anywhere in the
world. A daily three-hour
television show, made on
the premises, is piped
into the rooms late each
afternoon. Tourists re-
turning from their daily
trips can see themselves
being interviewed in the
lobby in the morning.
News, friendly chatter,
helpful informatiOn are
presented by Marty
Isaacs and his associate,
Irene Mark.
The show began origi-
nally as an experimental
lark, but quickly caught on.
Didn't you always wonder
who all those other people in
the hotel were? Now they
tell their stories to Marty
and go home with the thrill
of having been interviewed
on Channel Four. Manager
Bernard Kohn encourages
the venture, and local ad-
vertisers clamor for spots on
the show.
Marty is a "natural." He
came to Israel from the
Bronx 13 years ago, lived on
a moshav, then went into
the manufacture of rag
dolls, which he called Ruty
Smartuti. They might have
become a Cabbage Patch
craze, but the Yom Kippur
War put him out of business
and he went to work for the
Jerusalem Plaza as a night
clerk.
Marty is gregarious, loves
to talk to people, and com-
municates easily. The re-
sult is Plaza-Vixion — now
available in Jerusalem for
the first time in 2,000 years.
* * *
Lots of expensive and
good restaurants in
Jerusalem, but those
looking for a modestly-
priced vegetarian place,
with unusual dishes,
should try Hameshek
(The Farm) on Jaffa
Road. Patrick from
France and Barry from
South Africa teamed up
to open it three years ago,
and the steady stream of
patrons is evidence of its
success.
* * *
Shatnaz Laboratory —
examination on the spot to
ascertain if your garments
perchance contain mixed
threads, in violation of
Jewish law.

The Jerusalem Great
Synagogue is said to have
cost $14 million. It houses
simultaneous services for
Ashkenazim and Sephar-
dim. One who is carried
away by the fervor of his
worship will perhaps be ob-
livious to the gaudy and
garish design. Those who
look for esthetics will be
disappointed.
* * *
In an old corner of
Jerusalem we found an al-
most unknown American
community which has
existed here for 87 years!
But of that, on another occa-
sion, and in greater detail.
Israel Stock Exchange Bullish
FINAL WINTER CLEARANCE
APPLEGATE SQUARE
Jerusalem, how did they get
around and take in all the
sights? Were there tourist
guides in those days? Is-
rael's 20th Century guides
are first rate. For our tour of
the Jewish Quarter and the
new finds we were fortunate
to be guided by Shoshana
Devora, a PhD working out
of the office of Archeological
Seminar Inc., which is lo-
cated, appropriately
enough, astride the Cardo.

Sign on a small grocery
store on a side street in
Mea Shearim: "Open to
women, 11 to 2 daily — and
for men, from 5 to 8. For rea-
sons of modesty, please ob-
serve these shopping
hours."

TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
Tel Aviv stock exchange has
gone bullish after weeks of
falling prices. The biggest
gains are in the shares of
commercial banks, now
backed by a government
guarantee to redeem them
at their Oct. 5, 1983 dollar
value if they are held four to
seven years, plus interest of
up to seven percent per an-
num.
The Oct. 5 date is impor-
tant because since then
commercial bank shares
lost about 70 percent of
their dollar value as they
were dumped in anticipa-
tion of a drastic devaluation
of the shekel.
The Treasury has gone
all-out to shore up the bank
shares to encourage savings
and slow down runaway in-
flation. What is described as
a "mini-boom" on the stock
exchange was triggered not
by the government's
guarantee however but by
the First International
Bank of Israel.
The latter bought up
large quantities of other
bank shares at low prices
and is marketing them on
the promise of a high
yield long-term savings
scheme. This is based on
the presumption that
with the Treasury's back-
ing, the price of the
shares will rise in the
months ahead.
Other investors followed
suit. The price of bank
shares has gone up some 15
percent in two days.
Spain Prophecy
JERUSALEM (ZINS) —
Following seven visits to
Spain for top-level consulta-
tions, Jacques Torczyner,
president of the World
Union of General Zionists,
predicts that Spain will give
diplomatic recognition to
Israel within six months.
