THE VOLVO 940. AFFORDABLY PRICED AT S22,900:
(LET'S HOPE THEY DON'T SEE THIS AD)
While keeping up with the Joneses may not be your main occupation in life,
it's certainly nice to know you're driving a car whose assumed value far exceeds
its price. Given the 940 Sedan's long list of amenities and standard safety features
(anti-lock brakes, driver and passenger side supplemental restraint system with
dual air bags), such a perception hardly seems surprising. So why not see us for a
test drive? We won't say anything if you won't.
Drive safely.

ISRAEL'S No. 1
ituated along the Rhine
River, Mainz is a 2000
year old city and a popu-
lar tourist destination. It
has a colorful Alstadt (old town)
full of ornate architecture, a
modern city hall, scenic views
and boat cruises along the
Rhine, and a fascinating muse-
um dedicated to the city's most
famous native son, Johann
Gutenberg.
For Jewish travelers, it is in-
teresting for other reasons as
well. It is one of three towns
along the Rhine which were the
leading Jewish centers of Ger-
many during the Middle Ages;
the other two are Worms and
Speyer. Of the three, Mainz is
the only one that still has a Jew-
ish community.
So this is a city with both an
illustrious Jewish past and also
a Jewish present. Tourists can
visit its Regional Museum and
see Jewish tombstones from the
12th century when Mainz was
a center for rabbinical scholars;
and they can attend Shabbat
services and visit the Jewish
Community Center which is
headquarters for the modern
Jewish community here.
They will also find that many
non-Jewish Mainz citizens are
interested in the Jewish histo-
ry of their city.
For instance, visiting the
gray stone building on Rhein
Allee which is headquarters for
the City Archives, I meet Fred-
erick Schutz, an archivist, who
proudly shows me a book titled
Juden in Mainz.
Mr. Schutz, who is not Jew-
ish, wrote this to accompany a
special exhibition he helped to
organize on the Jewish history
of Mainz.
Held in the City Hall in 1979,
the exhibit displayed 400 dif-
ferent items — photographs,
documents and more — related
to Jewish Mainz.
When it opened, the exhibit
drew a big turnout. "Many peo-
ple came, and young people
were especially interested," says
Doris Brown, also an archivist,
who is serving as translator
during our meeting, since Mr.
Schutz speaks limited English.
The exhibit was such a suc-
cess, says Ms. Brown, that a
smaller version of it was later
on display in Haifa.
She also speaks with enthu-
siasm about Judische Begeg- •
nungswoche, a special reunion
of Jews born in Mainz, who left
or escaped before the war. For
