us kosher wine, gefilte fish
and all the trimmings," says
Mr. Turner.
Relations between Jews and
non-Jews on the island are ex-
cellent, he says. "We have a
wonderful relationship. We
don't see any anti-Semitism
at all."
Members of the congrega-
tion take part in the island's
business and tourism ac-
tivities. There are, for exam-
ple, two Jewish-owned shops
in the International Bazaar, a
10-acre sightseeing attraction
in itself, which was designed
by a special effects artist from
Hollywood.
At the Old Curiosity Shop
in the arcade of the bazaar,
owner Elsa Roberts, a
member of the Freeport
Hebrew Congregation, car-
ries items like antique
filigree rings, silverplated tea
sets and trays. She also has
an antique Russian mirror,
antique Turkish water jugs in
copper, and brass gifts of all
sorts, as well as several
Jewish chais and Stars of
David.
Also in the arcade, right
next to the straw market, is
Goldilocks, a jewelry shop
opened in December of 1990.
Owner Frances Gee and her
husband Anthony, who's a pit
boss at El Casino, are London
natives who have lived on the
island year-round since 1966
and have been members of
the congregation since they
arrived.
Much of the jewelry at
Goldilocks is made in the
Bahamas, including starfish
bracelets, conch shell rings,
earrings and bracelets and
pink coral rings. Owner Gee
also carries jewelry made in
Italy, including a large selec-
tion of 14 karat gold mez-
zuzot, Stars of David and
chai pendants. Jewish
tourists are pleased — and
surprised — to find such a
varied selection on an island
in the Bahamas.
They're even more pleased
to find a modern synagogue
on this pristine island and
a congregation, which, al-
though small, is especially
geared to the needs of
tourists.
"We're a very close con-
gregation. Because we have a
small number- of people, we
all work very hard," says Mr.
Turner.
The hard work is worth it —
especially because this con-
gregation wants to extend a
warm welcome to visitors.
"That's very important," says
Mr. Turner. "When tourists
come to the island, they know
there's a place where they can
come and pray." ❑

Additional Storm
Dumps More Snow
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Winter
storms give only brief
respite from their fury.
Israelis who have experi-
enced a series of tempests in
the past six weeks hardly
have time to dig out from
one before another strikes.
Rain and snowstorms
which have been abnormally
heavy this winter virtually
cut off the Golan Heights
and much of Galilee last
week.
Last weekend, the storm
abated and the Public Works
Department, along with the
Israel Defense Force Corps
of Engineers, went to work
repairing leaks in the re-
taining walls of overflowing
reservoirs.
Before they had finished, a
fresh blizzard struck bury-
ing the Golan and Galilee
and giving a heavy dusting
to Jerusalem, which had just
experienced 16 inches of
snow.
This latest snowstorm also
struck elevated regions of
the Negev and even
Nahariya, a coastal city nor-
th of Haifa usually immune.
The abnormal precipita-
tion is helping ease Israel's
water shortage after four
years of drought, but not
without causing problems.
The sluice gates near Kib-
butz Deganya, at the
southern end of Lake Kin-
neret, were opened for the
first time in four years, send-
ing 2.8 million cubic feet of
water from Israel's largest
natural reservoir roaring
into the Jordan River.
The gates were opened to
prevent the lake, now near
its optimal level, from
flooding its shores, including
the town of Tiberias.
The water will course
through the narrow, win-
ding, normally sluggish Jor-
dan into the Dead Sea
trough, where it will soon
vaporize.
But farmers in the Upper
Jordan and Beit She'an
valleys fear the Jordan,
clogged with silt and debris
from winter storms, will not
be able to contain the flood.
Meanwhile, more than 40
main roads all over the
country were closed.
