ONE DAY DISCOVERY

What is DISCOVERY ?

•

DISCOVERY is an exciting..
one day seminar which has
captured the hearts and
stimulated the minds of 50,000
Jews on 4 continents - from
New York to Nairobi.
The DISCOVERY Seminar
aims to provide a thoughtful,
intelligent answer to the ques-
tion, "Why be Jewish?" The
seminar is not a nostalgic
reiteration of Jewish traditions
and history. It is a bold, com-
pelling display of Judaism's
past, present and future vitality!
DISCOVERY's sophisticated
approach was developed by
leading educators and scientists and adapted to a
one-day format by Aish HaTorah, an organization
with a unique ability to captivate critical thinking
Jews with profound meaning of their heritage.

"I thought the day was wonderful. The quality of
of us who don't understand our history and therefore
the speakers was uniformly excellent. This seminar

The program is designed for Jewish men and
women of all ages who are short on time but long
on curiosity, who have a sophisticated secular
education but limited background in Jewish Studies.

"It was exhilarating in many ways and the day went
by much too fast. I left feeling a much stronger

"You'll come home a day older and 5,000 years wiser"

To My Husband, Bernard "Bob" Seltzer
I know I said I could say goodbye

But it's so difficult to do
When my waking hours and before going to bed
Are filled with my thoughts of you
You are still so much a part of me
You are here right by my side
And no one else can see you there
But from me, you cannot hide
You are a figment of my imagination
And you always come into play
When I'm all alone with my quiet time
Which is quite often throughout the day
And even during my busy time
You seem to sneak back in
And once again my thoughts become yours
Of the places we have been
My memories of you are so comforting
Most of the time they see me through
And when I finally say goodbye
I will never forget about you.

Love,
Stellie

I WONDER IF HE KNOWS?
Dear Dad,
What a tremendous void you have left. I miss your
multiple weekly visits. I miss your daily phone calls.
My thoughts are with you always, as October 19, 1992
lives with me, always. You were taken much too soon
to suit me and yet I appreciate now more than ever, all
that was you. It was hard to imagine that we will all go
on without you, but you are in our hearts and your
passing has had more impact and changed me more than
you'll ever know.
Or, do you know?
The unveiling for

will be at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, May 16, 1993 at Machpelah
Cemetery. Relatives and friends are invited to attend.

THE JEWISH NEWS

Jerusalem (JTA) — In the
midst of a coalition crisis
that threatened to weaken
his government, Prime Yit-
zhak Rabin took time out to
welcome Ethiopian Prime
Minister Timirat Laynie to
Israel, at an official
ceremony in the Rose
Garden overlooking the
Knesset.
Israel attaches particular
importance to the four-day
visit, which is the first by a
ranking Ethiopian official
since the government of dic-•
tator Mengistu Haile
Mariam was toppled by in-
surgent forces in May 1991.
As Foreign Minister
Shimon Peres put it when he
greeted his counterpart at
the airport, Mr. Laynie is
"the most significant Ethio-
pian visitor since the queen
of Sheba."
Mr. Peres said the visit
could help reconfigure the
situation along the Red Sea
coast, where Israel has good
ties with both Egypt and the
breakaway Ethiopian prov-
ince of Eritrea.
A key item on the agenda
of the visit was expected to
be the delicate and
unresolved issue of the
emigration of the Falash
Mora, Ethiopian gentiles
who say their ancestors were
forced to convert from
Judaism to Christianity.
Thousands of Falash Mora,
some of whom have relatives
in Israel, are seeking to im-
migrate here.•Israel does not
recognize them as Jews, but
has said it would allow those
with immediate family in
Israel to come on a human-.
itarian basis.
Ethiopian officials have in
the past vowed that they
would not let the Falash
Mora emigrate, saying it
could lead to an exodus of
"tens of thousands" of
citizens.
But the Ethiopian foreign
minister was expected to
announce this week that his
country would allow the
emigration of Falash Mora
with immediate family
members in Israel.
One hitch could be a
statement allegedly made by
former Israeli Foreign Min-
ister David Levy, who was
quoted as saying that the
Falash Mora were being
murdered in Ethiopia be-
cause of their Jewish roots.

Haim Divon, Israel's am-
bassador to Addis Ababa,
was said to have sent a cable
to the Foreign Ministry say-
ing that the Ethiopian au-
thorities were "furious" over
the remark.
