Mordechai believes her
mother is happy with her
life. The two speak on the
phone and exchange letters.
Some time ago
Mordechai's uncle Sammy
discovered he had cancer.
Mordechai and her mother,
hearing the news, recalled
Mordechai's mother's own

bout with the disease years
earlier.
"What were you thinking
as you went on the operating
table?" Mordechai asked.
"I said the Sh'ma," her
mother said.
"That was the first time
my mother ever acknowl-
edged her Judaism,"
Mordechai says. "And I
believe this story speaks
even louder than my own." I=1

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Peace ac-
tivist Abie Nathan, escorted
by a noisy 1,000-car convoy
of supporters, reported to the
Eyal minimum-security
prison Oct. 3 to begin serv-
ing a six-month sentence.
Nathan was sentenced for
violating a 1986 law against
contacts with terrorists.
Nathan freely admitted that
he met with Palestine Lib-
eration Organization chief
Yassir Arafat and other PLO
figures in Tunis and Paris
several times last year.
Nathan was accompanied
by some 2,000 well-wishers
who honked horns and blew
bugles.
Loudspeakers on cars
blared the familiar
signature of Nathan's
"Voice of Peace" radio ship,
which broadcasts peace
messages and pop music
from international waters.
Scores of Knesset members
from the Labor Party and
left-wing factions were in
the throng along with
popular entertainers.
Long-time peace activist
Arieh (Lova) Eliav, a Labor
member of Knesset, said it
was now up to the Knesset
"to put forward a motion to
make null and void this
terrible law."
A heavy police force di-
verted traffic from the site of
the impromptu rally and
kept away a small number of
counter- demonstrators from
Rabbi Meir Kahane's Kach
movement.
Before entering the jail,
which is less a prison than a
training school for prison
guards, Nathan held aloft an
olive branch.
He urged Prime Minister
Yitzhak Shamir to learn
from his Likud predecessor,
Menachem Begin, who had
seized the offered hand of
President Anwar Sadat of
Egypt and achieved Israel's
first and only peace treaty
with an Arab state.
"I hope that today's peace
overtures will not be re-
jected," Nathan said. "I hope
that Arafat, like we, will
realize that peace cannot be

achieved by throwing stones
or firing bullets."
The 67-year-old activist
vowed he would be back on
the air soon.

Ambulances Hit
On Yom Kippur

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Magen
David Adorn ambulances
were stoned as they raced
through the streets of some
Israeli cities and towns on
medical emergencies on Yom
Kippur
The culprits were not
ultra-Orthodox Jews outrag-
ed by violations of Yom
Kippur strictures, but in-
dolent youths bored by the
quiet of the day, authorities
said.
Magen David Adorn, which
operates ambulance and
first-aid services in Israel,
reported answering 2,269
emergency calls during the
24-hour fast that began at
sundown Sunday.
More than 100 fasting
worshipers were treated at
synagogues for hunger or
heat prostration.
Apart from the am-
bulances, the only vehicles
on the streets were those
operated by the military,
police or fire fighters, as well
as cars transporting workers
to operate public utilities.

Arab-Jewish
Effort Funded

New York (JTA) — The
Givat Haviva Institute of
Israel has been awarded a
$10,000 grant by the Stella
and Charles Guttman Foun-
dation in New York for a pro-
gram bringing together
Israeli Arab and Jewish
junior high-school students.
The "Children Teaching
Children" program brings
together Jewish and Arab
seventh, eighth and ninth
graders, who have never met
children their age from the
other's ethnic community.
