American Heart Association. Have you Fighting Heart Disease and Stroke ever given a gift so wonderful, Clinic Seeks 'Jewish Eggs London (JTA) — A Nottingham fertility clinic has become the first in Britain to appeal publicly to Jewish women to donate their eggs. The recent move has been welcomed by infertile Jewish women, but it has highlighted the dispute among leading Or- thodox rabbis as to whether egg donation contravenes Jewish law. • The national campaign was launched by the fertility clinic at Queen's Medical Centre. The clinic's director, Dr. Simon Fishel, is Jewish. The clinic is sending information — it has also offered to send speakers — to Jewish groups. The campaign, prompted . by the increasing number of Jewish women who want Jewish egg donors, encourages potential Jewish donors to contact fertili- ty centers in their area. "On religious grounds, it is unique," Dr. Fishel said in an in- terview. Dr. Daniel Sinclair, a rabbi who also is an adviser to Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks on Jew- ish medical ethics, said donor anonymity was an obstacle to the practice being acceptable under Jewish law, Halachah. Debbie Weinberg, who is on a donor waiting list, said, "Many Jewish women would prefer a Jewish egg donor. It's vital that Jewish women respond to this appeal." Stock Offering Is Delayed London (JTA) — A kibbutz- owned company has postponed plans to publicly offer its shares on the main London stock mar- ket because of the recent violence between Israelis and Palestini- ans. Plasson, operated by Kibbutz Ma'agan Michael, which is situ- ated between Tel Aviv and Haifa, was due to begin trading Oct. 9. It would have become the first Is- raeli company on the main stock exchange. But 10 of the 35 institutions backing the issue pulled out in the wake of the violence last month sparked by Israel's open- ing of a new entrance to a tunnel adjacent to Jerusalem's Temple Mount. As a result of the violence that ensued, a total of 76 people were killed. David Cohen, who is with So- ciete Generale Strauss Turnbull and who is a financial adviser for the stock offering, said, "I only ope that politicians in Israel recognize that the effects of the volatile situation are financial and commercial, as well as po- litical — and that in a small way, it may help the Netanyahu gov- ernment to clarify its thinking about the costs of peace." Jerusalem Post Has New Editor Jerusalem (JTA) — Jeff Barak, managing editor of the Jerusalem Post, has been ap- pointed editor in chief of the Eng- lish-language Israeli daily. The announcement was made by the paper's publisher, Yehu- da Halevy. Mr. Barak replaces David Bar Man, who took a leave of absence from the paper four months ago to become the director of plan- ning and communications at the Prime Minister's Office. Mr. Barak, 35, is originally from Leeds, England. Reservists Protest Policy Jerusalem (JTA) — A group of 33 reserve soldiers and officers from elite Israel Defense Force combat units has blamed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's policies for waning motivation to serve.. The letter, published in Israeli newspapers, said Mr. Ne- tanyahu's policies were destroy- ing "the hope peace" and were dragging the country into an un- justified war. The signatories warned that the "fighting spirit has been torn from our hearts, and without it we do not see how we will be able to participate and function in the next war, may it never come." David Bar Illan, director of communications at the Prime Minister's Office, said the fact that the letter was published in newspapers first was a sign that it was politically motivated. But some members of the gov- ernment had a sharper reaction. Agriculture Minister Rafael Eitan of the Tsomet Party said the letter seriously hurt Israel's deterrence capability. Deputy Education Minister Moshe Peled of Tsomet said the letter's signatories were not wor- thy of their ranks and should be demoted. someone carries it with them the rest of their life?
