Bang, a tire blew and the jeep veered so sharply that only with all my strength could I stop it before it tumbled off the road. We crowded into the se- cond jeep, leaving Yoel Herzl with the radio, • cutting ourselves off from contact and the possibility of finding out what was going on. We drove up the narrow road toward the Lion's Gate. On the square in front of it an Arab bus was steadily burning. Electric cables were down. Legion- naires' bodies. lay all around. A section of the gate had been torn from its hinges; the second section was flung open and the arch above the Gate had been hit, so that its loose masonry threatened the heads of passers-by. But the carved lions were undamaged. We drove through, along the road to the Gate of the Tribes and the Thmple Mount, and down the Via Dolorosa to the second arch. It was blocked by the lead tank of the paratroops. We climbed over it and con- tinued on foot. Yoel, behind us, picked off a sniper shooting at us from one of the houses. Except for that, the Via Dolorosa was cool and silent, the windows shuttered, the streets empty. Had our men been through here, I wondered? Beyond the second arch lay King Feisal Street. We stepped through, and the breath caught in our throats. We beheld the huge paved courtyard, crowned, against the blue sky of June 7, 1967 (28 Iyar 5727), by the golden cupola of the Dome of the Rock, gleam- ing, glistening, taking its gold from the sun. We ran towards Motta Gur, standing on the Mount, where the flag of Israel flew. We were joined first by Moshe Stempel, Motta's deputy and then by Rabbi Goren. We embraced and the rabbi prostrated himself and genuflected towards the Holy of Holies. • In a resonant voice he recited the ancient Prayer to Battle (Deuteronomy 20:34): "Hear, 0 Israel, ye approach this day onto battle against your enemies; let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye ter- rified because of them; for the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you!" World Zionist Press Service Ballots Are Mailed For Zionist Elections 19 HOUR SALE 25-50% OFF Everything In the Store Friday 10-5:30 Saturday 10-5:30 Sunday 12-4 6692 Orchard Lake Rd. - In The West Bloomfield Plaza West Bloomfield 851-4410 24 Friday, May 29, 1987 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS New York (JTA) -- Close to a million ballots were mailed within the last week to mem- bers of American Zionist organizations to elect dele- gates to the 31st World Zionist Congress which will open in Jerusalem on Decem- ber 7, it was announced here by the American Zionist Federation (AZF) the um- brella group for all the Zionist membership organization in the United States. Eligible voters will choose from nine slates representing a broad spectrum of views on issues of concern to the Jewish people. Benjamin Cohen, AZF president, and Raymond Patt, Area Election Committee chairperson, said recipients of the ballots have until June 30 to return them. While the AZF is the coordinating body for the election, voters have been instructed to mail their ballots directly to the American Arbitration Asso- ciation (AAA) which is overseeing the election. According to the two of ficials, if a person is a member of more than one Zionist organization, that person, may receive more than one ballot. But, Cohen and Patt emphasized, "You may vote only once. If you return more than one ballot, your vote will not be counted?' Patt called the balloting "a remarkable democratic exer- cise which allows members in the U.S. Zionist organizations to select their representatives to the World Zionist Con- gress." He predicted that the response would exceed the more than 200,000 ballots cast in 1978.
