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. ** * In the days of the Temple when tens and hundreds of thousands of pilgrims (olei regel) used to come to REAR ENDS 70% OFF ALL FALL AND WINTER MENS AND WOMENS FASHION' CORDS AND TOPS MAKING ROOM FOR SPRING MERCHANDISE ARRIVING DAILY NORTHWESTERN HWY. BET. 12 & 13 Mile 353-4353 * * * 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." Mon.-Fri. 10-5 Thurs. 10-5:30 Sat. 10-6 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.
