Mr. Katz is the author of more than a dozen books on Buddhism, Hinduism and Indian Judaism, has pioneered in establishing di- alogues among leaders of the three religions and served as translator (Tibetan into English, English into Tibetan) in last year's celebrated meeting between the Dalai Lama and a delegation of American Jewish scholars and rabbis.

Of gen- eral tourist interest are overnights in Suzhou, China's "Garden City"; Xian, site of the museum of 7,000 life-size ceramic warriors; and Bei- jing, for visits to the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, Tiananmen Square and the high-walled For- bidden City.

Former- ly, the pioneer women's Zionist organization had concentrated its travel efforts exclusively on Israel, affording members, families and friends tours of the Jewish State and, more specifically, visits to Hadassah's medical, educational and social service installations in Israel. The expanded program will "further broaden the horizons" of Hadassah's 380,000 members, their families and friends, says Renee Albert, chair of the travel dept. Among the not-Israel destina- tions are "London With A Jewish Ta'Am." The price of $1,207 cov- ers a walking tour of the East End, one-time center of Jewish life in London, and worship at Bevis Marks, England's 18th century Sephardic synagogue; also: West End theater performances, air fare, five-star hotels, breakfasts and some additional meals, sightseeing and other amenities and services. Hotel Spa Ixtapan in Mexico offers Hadassah travelers balm for body and spirit. Balm for the pocketbook is the all-inclusive price of $650. "Jewish Footprints in France" includes a walking tour of Paris and barging along the canals in the country's Champagne region. The dates are May 1-12, 1997, and the price will be announced well before departure time. Innovative Hadassah tours within Israel itself include a journey especially designed for the physically challenged. "For the first time," Albert says, "those who are bound by wheel- chair, or by loss of sight or hear- ing, will be able — comfortably and easily — to experience first- hand the Promised Land they may, until now, only have dreamed about." "We check every aspect of the tour to ensure full accessibility," Mr. Albert declares. "By con- veyance, by touch, by sound, by smell, the physically challenged will know' the Wall, plant trees, sip wine, `sightsee' — like other visitors to Israel." The all-inclusive price is $2,050, comparable to the cost of any oth- er tour of similar duration and scope. Other Hadassah Israel trips in- clude "Winter in Natanya," Dec. 2-31, a month (it can be stretched to two) of "living, volunteering, teaching, learning and touring"; priced at $2,999, or $4,149, Jan. 5-March 3. A "Singles Mission" offers the under-40s the fun and games ap- propriate for youth, as well as the traditional, country-wide sight- seeing appropriate for all ages. It's priced at $2,289. Further details and reserva- tions can be obtained from Albert at (212) 303-8031, 1-800-363- 2373. ❑ Publicity Deadlines The normal deadline for local news and publicity items is noon Thursday, eight days prior to issue date.
