Call for additional Trips and Cruises Freeport Continued from preceding page 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." ❑ * WE HAVE CONSUMER BANKRUPTCY INSURANCE * BERKLEY TOURS AND TRAVEL, INC. 559.8620 or 1.800-875-TOUR (8687) MIAMI BEACH'S #1 LUXURY KOSHER HOTEL Serving glatt kosher cuisine • Olympic heated pool-Private beach • Oceanfront boardwalk • Exciting entertainment-Dancing-Shows • Color TV In all rooms • Rooms with balconies • Private tennis courts GLATT IrKI KOSHER on remises • Frld In all rooms • Health club • Steam room MARCH SPECIAL from Mar. 6 thru Apr. 10 Your host the Berkowitz Family '249 Any 7 nights WINTER SPECIAL Per person Double 0cc.

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.
