JERUSALEM (ZINS) —
Honduras has some 150
Jews who live in two cities:
the capital, Tegucigalpa,
and San Pedro Zula, an
industrial city. They are
mainly Ashkenazim who
came after World War I.
There is a Central Jewish
Committee and a constant
effort by a dedicated group
of leaders to maintain and
nurture their Jewish heri-
tage.
TEL AVIV — Israel is
undergoing a mini-boom in
housing for senior citizens
with new or expanded re-
tirement communities in
Kfar Shmaryahu, Tel Aviv,
Bat Yam and Jerusalem.
Some 2,000 apartments
for retirees are currently
under construction or in the
planning stages, with ap-
proximately half of the
housing to be located in
Jerusalem. Some of the
country's major architec-
tural and construction firms
are involved in these proj-
ects.
The largest private re-
tirement community will be
built in the Israeli capital
by Isras, the investment
subsidiary of Rassco, one of
the oldest Israeli realty de-
velopment organizations.
The new project will offer a
combination of 120 double
rooms with hotel-style serv-
ice and 70 condominium
apartments with 24-hour
nursing service and other
amenities.
