Ruth Dayan among items for sale at Tamaru.
International Crafts
An Israeli Display
Israel — Tamaru, in
Herzliya Pituah, is a "very
unusual and exclusive house
of crafts," says twenty-two
year old Tamar Cohen, a
graduate of business and art
history from New York
University. Cohen, who
recently made aliyah, was
looking for a business to start
in Israel. When Ruth Dayan,
a friend of the family, sug-
gested an international house
of crafts, a meeting place of
culture and commerce, Tamar
and Ruth joined forces, and
names, to create Tamaru.
The most difficult crafts to
obtain are those of the Israeli
Arabs, Dayan admits, for "the
craftsmen's children are more
interested these days in
university studies than conti-
nuing traditional crfts." An
additional problem, as a
result of the ongoing intifada,
is getting baskets from Gaza
and glass from Hebron. On
this point Dayan is par-
ticularly sensitive, due to the
efforts she has been making
since the 1967 Six Day War to
encourage the Israeli Arab
craft industry.
At Tamaru about half the
works are by Israeli artists
and a wide range of materials
are represented, including
cotton, silk, wool, wood,
ceramics, glass and wrought
metal. The bright, modern
villa in which Tamaru is
situated, is tastefully laid out,
with tapestries hanging in
the halls. Each room has a
different theme and a display
of crafts that complement
each other.
In the Israeli jewelery room,
one can find delicate
Yemenite necklaces, pendants
of silver, mottled turquoise
Roman glass and ancient
coins; a silver thread
macrame necklace and mat-
ching earrings, and necklaces
by American-born Sara Eins-
tein — combinations of bone,
amber and other beads and
amulets from various eras
and cultures, strung together
in imaginative ways.
The clothing room is filled
with Arabic cross-stitch em-
broidery, hand-painted silk
scarves and embroidered
Romanian blouses, printed
leather jackets and dresses
from Guatemalan woven
fabrics, designed by Tamara
Jones and sewn in Israel.
Even the bathroom is
draped with brightly painted
South American towels,
depicting rural scenes. Mex-
ical paper mache fruit fills a
wide bowl — papaya, half an
avocado, a strawberry, a
watermelon slice. In a vase
stand corn husk flowers in
pink, yellow and purple.
Six rooms, in all, each with
handicrafts that offer a glimp-
se into the relationship Ruth
Dayan has with crafts.

Sharon Urges
Open Border
Jerusalem (JTA) — Min-
ister of Industry and Trade
Ariel Sharon has urged Jor-
dan to open its borders to
Israeli tourists, and in turn
offered that Israel open its
borders to Jordanian
tourists.
Sharon — an advocate for
turning Jordan into a
Palestinian state — made
the offer in a meeting with
an economic delegation from
Egypt.
