Athens supplies Chalkis with
kosher meat.
Levy, the father of two, says
that ten Jewish students from
Chalkis study at universities —
six in Greece and four in Israel.
Asked if they'll return after their
graduation, Levy shrugs his
shoulders.
However, he is confident that
the community's continuity will
not be affected by their decisions.
The Jews of Chalkis, he declares,
do not intend to disappear — not
after 2,250 years.

Dublin (JTA) — Although the
Republic of Ireland contained
5,000 Jews 40 years ago in the
days of the celebrated Chief Rabbi
Isaac Herzog, the Jewish commu-
nity now numbers only some
1,500 persons.
But, paradoxically, Jewish
influence has increased signific-
antly. Whereas there was for-
merly only one Jewish member of
the Irish Parliament, now there
are three, each representing one
of the three main parties forming
the coalition government.
Judge Hubert Wine, honorary
president of the Jewish Represen-
tative Council of Ireland, which is
currently chaired by Quentin
Crivon, fondly recalled the great
days of Herzog some decades ago.
Herzog, who later became Chief
Rabbi of Israel, and was the father
of Chaim Herzog, now president of
Israel, was highly esteemed by
Jews and non-Jews alike.
Wine attributed the severe
shrinkage of the Jewish popula-
tion primarily to the fact that
young Irish Jews refuse to marry
out of their faith and have left the
country to seek mates in other
lands.
There are six synagogues in
Dublin. The principal one is the
Dublin Hebrew Congregation,
where perhaps 125 persons gather
on the Sabbath and which is
packed for the High Holy Days.
The Jewish secondary school
and Talmud Torah is Stratford
College, with 200 students, only
60 percent of whom are Jewish.
Supported by ORT, it is consid-
ered one of the best schools in the
country.
In terms of international de-
velopments, Wine is pressing for
an Israeli embassy in Dublin, but
a major obstacle appears to be the
government's insistence that it
hasn't enough funds to establish
an embassy in Israel as a quid pro
quo.
And yet. Wine declared, there is
a new Egyptian embassy in town,
in addition to embassies of several
other Arab nations. Wine said
that "our community is saddened
by this situation, but we will not
stop trying."
