parties whose leaders agree
in their refusal to deal with
Arafat and the PLO and to
recognize a Palestinian state.
The Jewish community in
America is fretful, anxious
and disheartened. One can
read this mood on faces; one
hears apprehensive under-
tones at home, at social
gatherings or in the midst of
small groups that linger after
services or meetings. Our
generation needs instruction
and guidance no less than our
forebears who lived through
their upheavals.
We need to remember that
defeatism is itself the cause of
defeat. A premature living
with doom that has not yet
come is not only unnecessary,
but itself creates the condi-
tions which make defeat in-
evitable. That is what Amram
was told: "We don't know the
future, but your actions bring
about a disaster more surely
than Pharaoh's."
We need to reaffirm our
loyalty and support to the
people of Israel who now
stand alone. We must remind
the world that the extensive
record of PLO duplicity and
destruction cannot be over-
come by a speech and a press
conference. Actions are much
more eloquent than words,
and Israel must see compell-
ing evidence of an Arab com-
mitment to peace before it
jeopardizes its security and
risks its very existence. The
establishment of a Palesti-
nian state is fraught with
dangers that are overwhelm-
ing and, indeed, catastrophic.
And yet, we sense that
forces are at work in the Mid-
dle East on behalf of peace.
There could be an easing of
the tensions which impede a
resolution of the Israeli-Arab
conflict. New peace initiatives
in the spirit of the Camp
David Accords, may be laun-
ched by Israel in the days
ahead.
We don't know what new
possibilities are being born in
Israel or what dawn of a new
day may yet break forth in
our time.
"He who loses wealth loses
much," Cervantes wrote. "He
who loses a friend loses more.
But he who loses his courage
loses all." Judaism's hope in-
spires courage.
What was the source of op-
timism of the Jewish people?
It came from their faith that
never surrendered belief in-
God's redeeming presence.
Their faith did not issue out
of pleasant, untroubled ex-
istence. To have remained full
of hope and faith in the future
after so many centuries of
persecution and frustration is
a tribute to the soul of the
Jewish people. We, too, seek
the courage, faith and will
equal to the challenges we
confront.
Golden Dreams
Is Expanding
Congregation B'nai Mo-
she's nursery school, Golden
Dreams, is expanding its "On
My Own" program for
children 20 months to 2 1/2
years old. The program will
be meeting two mornings a
week beginning in January.
School director Robin Sack
Meyerowitz also announced
the expansion of classes for 3
to 4 year-olds. A few openings
remain for the spring.
Golden Dreams emphasizes
small, child-centered classes,
individualized attention and
a low pupil-to-teacher ratio.
The school includes a "Fami-
ly Together" program as well
as a Friday session of song,
dancing, Torah, stories and
mitzvah activities with Rab-
bi Allan Meyerowitz.
For information, contact
Robin Sack Meyerowitz,
546-8040 or 548-9000.

Koor Gets
A Reprieve
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Koor In-
dustries, the giant Histadrut-
owned conglomerate, was
given a reprieve from
bankruptcy this week.
District court Judge
Eliyahu Winograd allowed
Koor another month to reach
agreements with its many
creditors at home and abroad.
Until the court reconvenes
on Jan. 22, "Koor will be able
to continue its normal ac-
tivities, as no liquidation re-
quests were filed against it:'
The judge made clear
however that whatever hap-
pens, Koor will not be allow-
ed to go under because it is
too important to the Israeli
economy.
The industrial and commer-
cial complex, with its many
subsidiaries, is the largest
single employer in the coun-
try. It accounts for a signifi-
cant percentage of Israel's ex-
port trade and its gross na-
tional product.
