Wall Visit
Causes Stir

Tel Aviv (JTA) — Pop
superstar Michael Jackson
was mobbed by enthusiastic
Israeli fans from the mo-
ment he arrived here last
week with a retinue of some
200 assistants, managers,
bodyguards and stage hands.
Jackson devotees greeted
the singer wherever he went
with awe and admiration —
until a group of fervently
Orthodox Jews gave him a
less-than-friendly welcome
as Mr. Jackson attempted to
approach the Western Wall
in Jerusalem's Old City.
The group, finding all the
stir surrounding his ap-
pearance there unseemly,
overturned tables and chairs
in an effort to barricade the
path of Mr. Jackson before
he could reach the Wall.
Mr. Jackson turned away
from the barricade to avoid a
confrontation.
The teen idol was greeted
at the airport by two young
children of one of his locally
hired security guards. They
presented him with a basket
of apples and honey, the food
traditionally eaten on Rosh
Hashanah.
In an effort to keep the
crowds at bay, Mr. Jackson's
managers said the star
would remain at the Dan
Hotel — where he had taken
an entire upper floor —
when he was not performing
at the city's Yarkon Park
auditorium
But within half an hour of
his arrival at the hotel, Mr.
Jackson was soon out and
around, going on a shopping
spree and taking in some of
the country's many sights.
Although it was the second
day of Rosh Hashanah, when
businesses are usually clos-
ed, several stores in the
Dizengoff Center here were
opened especially for Mr.
Jackson.
Owners of four book, music
and poster shops in the
shopping center, informed
that Mr. Jackson was on the
way, rushed to send over
sales staff and open their
doors for him.
Mr. Jackson spent a couple
of hours browsing among the
shelves and buying
thousands of dollars worth of
discs, tapes, video recordings
and posters.
Police and security guards
were out in force to deal with
the crowds of teen-agers who
mobbed him.
Later, Mr. Jackson visited
the Luna Park in the Tel
Aviv Fair Grounds, near
where he was to make his
two concert appearances. El
