J CC

REMEMBER...the great times your children had
last summer — swimming with their friends, learning
and then mastering the art of tennis, letting their cre-
ativity express itself in ceramics, painting and drama,
and the joy of new friendships. The 1995 JCC summer
camps offer a variety of programs, two great facilities,
and a terrific staff dedicated to ensuring a great camp
experience.
The JCC Summer Camp's careful programming is
designed to help campers learn about themselves, dis-
cover hidden talents, make new friends and enjoy the
great outdoors. Camp days are filled with a variety of
sports activities, swimming, gymnastics, nature, arts &
crafts, drama, songs, laughter and camaraderie.
JPM SUMMER CAMP
It's time to sign up for camp for kindergarten thru
4th graders. Children entering kindergarten are able to
enjoy activities like swimming, arts & crafts, drama,
karate and a variety of sports and much more. Children
entering lst-4th grade are able to design and choose
their own schedule around several activities. Your chil-
dren have a choice of 3 or 5 full days and will go on field
trips geared around weekly themes.

Wonderful Sights
Crossing To Jordan

The Jordanian guide points to a Byzantine tile mosaic on floor of church atop Mt.
Nebo.

f the only consequence of the
Israel-Jordan border opening
were the chance to see Petra,
that wondrous city carved out
of solid rock — dayenu! That in
itself would be enough.
For the people of the two coun-
tries on the banks of the Jordan
River, as indeed for the entire
Middle East, the benefits of the
peace treaty signed by King Hus-
sein and Prime Minister Rabin
are, of course, much larger.
For travelers who have made
previous trips to Israel, the re-
cently-developed extension into
Jordan is a bonus they simply
cannot refuse.
It is less than an hour from the
blossoming trees of the Holy City
to the bleak approach to the Al-
lenby Bridge; what with securi-
ty checks and the mysterious
workings of bureaucracy, the ac-
tual crossing of the Jordan River
— a narrow stream one could
jump across — takes much
longer.
Vigilance is tight on the Israeli
side of the river. The bumpy, one-
lane road leading to the bridge is
lined with barbed wire fences.
Just beyond them, as signs warn
us in Hebrew, Arabic and Eng-
lish, are land mines — reminders
of the uneasy, armed truce that
has prevailed for the past five
decades.
There are several road blocks
before our van reaches the final
border post, where we are sub-
jected to a thorough scrutiny —

our passports checked several
times, a metal detector buzzing an
alarm even at metal-tipped
shoelaces — before we emerge into
a staging area and board the Jor-
danian bus which will convey us
over the bridge and into Jordan.

One has the feeling, however,
that the atmosphere of mutual
suspicion is dissipating. Drivers
of the Israeli and Jordanian bus-
es greet each other warmly as
they carry our baggage from one
bus to another. They shake
hands, exchange friendly words
(usually in English), trade ciga-
rettes, drink coffee together at the
snack bars on either side of the
border.
A tanned, bespectacled, mus-
cular guide with the faintest hint
of a moustache — most Jordanias
men wear them — has joined us.
His name is Abdullah, he an-
nounces in an ingratiating, ac-
cented voice; our driver is
Hussein — and the two will lead
us on the three-day trip — first,
to Nebo, the fabled mountain
from which Moses, denied entry
to the Promised Land, had his fi-
nal view of it; then, to Amman,
the Jordanian capital; to Jerash,
site of a huge expanse of well-pre-
served Roman ruins; and, the
high point of our visit, to Petra,
the ancient fortress-city of the
Naboteans.
In many respects, all of Jordan
is an archaeological dig waiting
to happen. The section of the Jor-
