CHAOTIC TIMES,

be prudent to seek shelter
in a Volvo 760 GLE.

ket for a new car loan any
time soon:
And with luxurious
interior appointments,
rivaling those of cars cost-
ing thousands more, the
Volvo 760 is uniquely
qualified to transport
you through the tough
times ahead in total
comfort Both fiscal and
physical.
So, if you're in the
market for a long term
investment vehicle, con-
sider the Volvo 760 GLE.
A car that can protect
you from the bears by
simply outliving them.

Making Changes
Continued from preceding page
muted daily from the family
home in Herzliyah to her of-
fice in Jerusalem or to the
bureaus all over the country.
In 1986, she won an eight-
year battle with the Israel
Bar Association making it
legal for attorneys to volun-
tarily aid low-income clients.
"I believe that each citizen
deserves the best service
available, and if that service
is a lawyer, he deserves the
best lawyer, even if he can't
afford it. If a person can't get
a good lawyer," she says,
"justice has nothing to do
with the outcome of the case."
Sam, during the years im-
mediately after they returned
to Israel, was working with
Prime Minister Golda Meir to
develop voluntarism. He
developed volunteer bureaus
all over Israel, and initiated
what is now the President's
Annual Conference on Volun-
tarism. The goal of the
volunteer services was,
among other things, to help
bridge social and economic
gaps in Isaraeli society
brought on by largely mass
immigration.
In 1975, Sam took over as
executive director of the
50,000-member Israeli boys
and girls scouting program.
In 1977, he began what would
be a 10-year project as
overseas director of the B'nai
B'rith Youth Organization in
England, Europe and Israel.
But after 10 years, Fisher
was ready for a change. He
had turned down several of-
fers before deciding on Detroit
and the Fresh Air Society.
"This looked like the right
thing," he says. "I could give
something here and I am en-
joying it."
Whether the Fishers will be
here "five years, eight years,
10 years, I don't know," says
Sam. "But our home is in
Israel, and that is where we
will return." In the mean-
time, the Fishers will instill
their Israeli experience into
the Detroit Jewish communi-
ty's camping and educational
programs. ❑
UHS Will Consider
Merging. Two Branches
STAFF REPORT
U sited Hebrew Schools
is considering closing
its B'nai Moshe
branch next fall because of
declining enrollments.
The UHS board will discuss
the issue Wednesday evening.
In recent weeks, the UHS
administration and the
education committee of the
board met twice with parents.
Earlier this year, the commit-
tee voted in favor of a UHS
administration proposal to
merge the B'nai Moshe
branch with the branch at
Congregation Beth Achim.
B'nai Moshe now has 63
students; Beth Achim has
106.
Following -a meeting last
week with parents, rabbis and
presidents of the two syna-
gogues, the education com-
mittee voted to recommend
keeping the B'nai Moshe
branch open an additional
year while watching the
enrollment situation.
The two branches share the
same faculty. B'nai Moshe
meets Monday and Wednes-
day afternoons and 9 a.m.
Sunday. Beth Achim meets
Tuesdays, Thursdays and 11
a.m. Sunday.
UHS administrators and
President Barbara Goodman
insisted that class size, and
not finances, were the major
reason for considering closing
the B'nai Moshe branch.
They said classes at B'nai
Moshe have less than 10
students per class, and a fur-
ther drop was projected for
next year.
B'nai Moshe parents
argued that busing and other
programs now available at
Beth Achim should have been
available at the B'nai Moshe
branch as well. They said
closing the B'nai Moshe
branch is contrary to the in-
tent of the Jewish Welfare
Federation Neighborhood
Project.
Hammer Wins
NRP Vote
Jerusalem (JTA) — The
moderate wing of the Na-
tional Religious Party won a
narrow but significant victory
March 22 when the party's
central committee endorsed
the Knesset candidacy of
Religious Affairs Minister
Zevulun Hammer, with 60.3
percent of the vote.
He was savagely opposed by
the party's right wing, the
hard-line Matzad faction led
by Gush Emunim, the mili-
tant West Bank settlement
movement, and Yosef
Shapira, a minister without
portfolio. They had mounted
an intense campaign to paint
Hammer as soft on the set-
tlements and a supporter of
Palestinian autonomy.
