The first panel was in memory of Mar- vin Feldman, Jones' best friend. By October of last year, the quilt included more than 1,900 names; today, it has some 4,000. Each panel measures three by six feet, the standard size of a grave. Earlier this year, Jones and several friends decided to take the quilt around the country. This is no small pro- ject considering its weight — three tons — and its size: It re- quires more than two football fields to display. Israel first saw the quilt last March in Washington. He has never forgotten it. And when he speaks of the Names Project, it is in a way some might find surprising. He speaks in vivid descrip- tions of the materials — vinyl, burlap, suede, even a flag and a shower curtain — used on the quilt. He describes the panels almost as living exten- sions of their namesakes. It includes everything from se- quins, baseball jerseys and military medals to teddy bears and a blanket that belonged to a baby girl who died of AIDS. Some of the names on the quilt are familiar: former assistant to Sen. Joe McCar- thy, Roy Cohn; designer Willi Smith; choreographer Michael Bennett; and actor Rock Hudson. Most are less famous. "It's the humanity," Israel says, "behind the statistics." Israel describes the creation of the quilt as a community project. Panels have been con- tributed by friends, family members and even business associates of individuals who have died of AIDS. It is a way for survivors to work out their own grief and to honor a lov- ed one, Israel says. "By making a panel, people are saying, 'We are proud of this person. He is someone who was loved and who will be remembered.' " Israel is not alone in his ef- forts to pay tribute to those who died of AIDS. He is join- ed by David Sobelsohn, who is planning a service for those who died of AIDS, and Rick and Arlene Oppenheim, who will serve as volunteers for the Names Project's display here. Rick Oppenheim offered to help with the quilt as soon as he heard it was coming to Detroit. A member of the social and economic justice- urban affairs subcommittee of the Jewish Community Coun- cil, he says he wants to change the negative way in some individuals with AIDS often are treated. Oppenheim also says he feels close to the project because he has a friend dying of the disease. Sobelsohn, a member of the board of trustees and of the religious services committee of Congregation T'chiyah, is planning a July 9 service for individuals from Michigan who have died of AIDS. The service will include a special recitation of Yizkor and a candlelighting ceremony. The guest speaker for the program will be Benna Kisin, a bereavement counselor, who will address the AIDS crisis from a Jewish perspective. Israel-Poland Flights Begun New York (JTA) — El Al Israel Airlines has begun a scheduled non-stop weekly flight from Tel Aviv to War- saw. Aviva Lavi, El Al's spokesperson, said these are the first ever scheduled El Al flights to Warsaw. The week- ly flight leaves Ben-Gurion Airport to Warsaw every Tuesday and returns the same day. The length of the flight is three hours and 40 minutes each way and the fare is $363 round trip. Poland is the second East European country to get scheduled flights by El Al. The other country is Ruma- nia, the only East European country which did not break diplomatic ties with Israel after the 1967 Six-Day War. Poland does not have diplo- matic ties with the Jewish State, but last year the two countries opened low-level offices. Arabs Held In Murder Case Jerusalem (JTA) — At least 20 Arabs are being held as suspects in the murder of Eliahu Cohen, 33, whose mutilated body was found Monday morning in the vineyard of Moshav Shekef, in the Lachish region. Gen. Amram Mitzna, Israel Defense Force commander of the central sector, said the murder was most likely political. But the police have not ruled out other motives, though robbery apparently was not one of them. Police investigating the crime said Cohen appears to have been stabbed first and then hit in the head with an iron bar. K
