The subject is animals

meeting, political conven-
tion and cousins club rolled
into one.
The bulk of the six-day
event will be held at the
Convention Center in
Baltimore with scattered
sessions also set for four In-
ner Harbor hotels. As if the
issues weren't complicated
enough, a previously booked
medical meeting has locked
the G.A. out of the Conven-
tion Center until Wednes-
day, forcing the use of the
hotels, and thereby turning
what is normally just a
logistical nightmare into a
logistical horror story.
More than 3,200 delegates
representing every federa-
tion in the United States and
Canada are expected to at-
tend this year's G.A., which
features a whirlwind of more
than 300 workshops, forums,
discussions, regional and
special interest group
meetings and speeches — in-
cluding one by Israeli Prime
Minister Yitzhak Shamir,
the convention's scheduled
centerpiece.
The sessions will cover
everything from intermar-
riage to fundraising, from
serving the disabled to Holo-
caust programming, helping
Soviet emigres find jobs and
the plight of Syrian Jewry.
Tax code changes affecting
charitable giving will be ad-
dressed in a workshop to be
led by a leading government
tax official. The issue of
campus muticulturalism
will be addressed by a Stan-
ford University professor
and the Hillel rabbi from the
University of California at
Los Angeles.
In addition, Rabbi David
Hartman, director of
Jerusalem's Shalom Hart-
man Institute, will deliver
four major talks as the
G.A.'s Pearlstone Institute
Scholar in Residence, and
Rabbi Irving Greenberg,
president of the National
Jewish Center for Learning
and Leadership, and the
former head of the Church of
Sweden, Bishop Krister
Stendahl, will conduct an
interfaith dialogue on
Thursday afternoon.

Both Rabbi Hartman's
Sunday morning talk,
"Tradition and Innovation:
The Mystery of Jewish
Creativity," and the inter-
faith dialogue are open to
the general community.

Wednesday night, the
president of Turkey, Turgut
Ozal, will speak to the dele-
gates via satellite. Mr. Ozal
will discuss Turkey's role in
Jewish history, a recurring
G.A. theme because of the
500th anniversary of the ex-
