Scientists
Meet In Moscow
Moscow (JTA) — A three-
day conference here aimed
at acquainting Jewish scien-
tists in the former Soviet
Union with science and
technological education in
Israel opened here under the
joint auspices of Russia and
Israel.
The gathering at Dom
Droozbah (Friendship
House), attended by more
than 250 Russian Jews, was
seen by some as a potential
recruiting ground for
Israel's scientific estab-
lishment.
This was initially denied,
although Daniel Sperber, an
Israeli delegate, never-
theless observed that many
of those attending have al-
ready contemplated emigra-
tion. The Israelis are stress-
ing to their Russian hosts
that while government
agreements on cooperation
in science and technology
are expressions of good will,
research, development and
production requires people.
TRADITION.
Isn't there one more worth carrying on?
Friday night. The end of the week. The beginning
of Shabbat. A time to relax, reflect and renew. And as much a part of
this tradition as the candles and the challah was knowing the weekly
Jewish News had also arrived.
It brought news about the community, the nation
and the world. Today, that tradition hasn't changed. In fact, it's gotten
better. Each week award-winning journalists combine the warmth of
community with world issues using candor and compassion to
strengthen Jewish identity and...tradition.
Keep the tradition alive. Give a Jewish News
subscription to a friend, a relative, as a special gift. If you don't
subscribe, (and you find yourself always reading someone else's copy)
maybe it's time to start your own tradition. The Jewish News. It's a
tradition worth keeping.
Terrorists
Target Missions
Paris (JTA) — Israeli dip-
lomatic missions in the
Western world and Turkey
are likely to become targets
of a wave of terrorist attacks
masterminded by extremist
Shi'ite groups in Lebanon,
L'Express reported last
week.
All Western intelligence
agencies have been put on
red alert, the French weekly
reported.
L'Express said it had cor-
roborating information from
Lebanon that Israeli mis-
sions in the West and
Turkey are targeted for
large scale attacks such as
the car bomb blast that
destroyed the Israeli em-
bassy in Buenos Aires on
March 17, killing 30 people
and injuring 252.
Similar attacks could be
made in Ankara, Brussels or
London by Shi'ite-influenced
groups, L'Express said.
