I iess i^win Mission To Jerusalem
■ JERUSALEM
When members of the Southwestern Region of the United Jewish Appeal’s
L’Chaim Mission visit this City of Peace this week they will be,experiencing a
thrill of a lifetime.
■ For most of the tourists it will be a first. They have been treated to a
■ fantastic journey, which included criss-crossing the nation, up one coast and
"down the broad section of the country which leads back from Jericho to
Jerusalem.
The first leg of the journey included a visit with the Mayor of Eilat, some
special side trips to Sharm el Shiek and the Strait of Tiran the late which Col.
Nasser blocked prior to the Six Days War, a swim in the Red Sea. a kumsitz
■ [Come and Sit] beach party on the shore of the Gulf of Eilat and splendid glass
■bottom boat rides scheduled on the Red Sea.
One has to wonder and comprehend this amazing era.
Imagine! Peace talk abounds and is the prevailing sentiment. Ezra
Weizman squelched a rumor the other day by telling a reporter any talk of
war, if peace doesn’t succeed was just a “story” concoted by an editor who
^didn’t know better.
Speaking of wonder there has been some conjecture here and in Tel Aviv on
the part of a few experts. For instance, Dr. Moshe Sharon, Premier Menahem
Begin’s expert on foreign affairs and an advisor to him, said he didn’t think
that President Sadat would have visited Israel during the prior regimes of
Golda Meir or Yitzhak Rabib because they were both considered weak leaders
by Sadat. He added that because of what Sadat considered intrigues between
■Rabin, Peretz and Allon, the previous administration was not capable of
■making “hard decisions” and thus no secrecy could be maintained during
negotiations.
Sadat’s speech to the Knesset was a “masterpiece” said Sharon. Sadat

Peace Talks Halted
As the Texas Jewish Post
went to press Wednesday
evening, Egyptian President
Anwar Sadat called home
Egypt’s mission to political
talks being held in Jerus-
alem this week, involving
the foreign ministers of
Israel, Egypt and the United
States. At the urging of
President Carter, the Mili-
tary Committee of the
Egyptian-Israeli peace talks
are scheduled to resume on
Saturday. Sadat said the
political talks in Jerusalem
will not resume until Israel
changes its position. Sadat
earlier recalled his Foreign
Minister from Jerusalem
and called an emergency
meeting of Egyptian Parlia-
ment. He charged Israel
with blocking progress to-
ward a peace agreement.
Israel’s national radio re-
ported that Prime Minister
Begin met with Egyptian
Minister prior to his return
to Cairo.
Earlier this week, Secre-
tary of State Cyrus
Vance urged both Egypt and
Israel that they could give
“no greater gift” to their
people than peace. Vance,
who is in Israel as a
mediator at this stage of the
quest for peace, admonished
all parties that history
would not judge them kindly
if they failed.
“We must deal with and
overcome many difficult

tion taken by President
Carter, which has caused

Sadat Tells Schindler
Desire For Peace Genuine
Directors of the Dan
Danciger Jewish Commun-
ity Center have gone on
record approving positive
negotiations with the city of
Fort Worth in their proposal
to build park facilities on
Center property. The ballot
was decided on an 11-6 vote
in approval.
Approximately 75 center
members attended the
three-hour long session
Thursday evening at the
south side facility. They first
heard a presentation by city
representatives Gary Ku-
tilek and Bill Palmer outlin-
ing the Park Board’s sug-
gested program.
Center members then
spent over two hours in
questioning Kutilek and
Palmer and in voicing
personal opinions both for
and against the plan.
At the conclusion the
Board of Directors met and
after brief discussion voted
(down 9-7 a motion by Vice
President Marshall Brach-
man to table. The following
final vote was decisive.
Voting favorably were
Ceil Echt, Marcia Kornbleet,
Allen Wexler, Sherwin Ru-
bin, Steve Finstein, Sylvia
Weiner, Jack Gerrick, Nan-
cy Rakoover, Marilyn Cus-
ter, Jerry Goldman, and Ted
Hoffman.
Voting “no” were Irene
Ginsburg, Brigette Altman,
Rhoda Perlman, Marshall
Brachman, Elliott Garsek
and Joe Tills. Jeffrey Glazer
abstained.
“Final approval must still
be made” said center presi-
dent Jerry Wolens after the
meeting. “In essence the
approved motion mandates
that a committee be formed
to work out specific details
with the Park and Recrea-
tional Board, all of which, of
course, is contingent on
voter acceptance of the city
bond election on February
7th”.
“Should the bond issue be
approved”, continued Wol-
ens, “final decision must
come from an affirmative
vote by the Park and
Recreational Board, the Fort
Worth City Council and
finally, again by the Dan-
ciger board of directors.”
The proposed twenty-five
year lease would include 6.2
acres of current property of
the Danciger Center. The
agency now occupies 22
acres on the city’s south
side.
ASWAN, EGYPT [WNS]
— Rabbi Alexander M.
Schindler, chairman of the
Conference of Presidents of
Major American Jewish
Organizations, met with
Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat at Sadat’s home here.
Schindler said that Sadat
told him that his desire for
peace is genuine; that the
present negotiations are a
“unique” opportunity which,
if not seized, could be lost,
and that Egypt appreciates
Israel’s security concerns
and can vouch for Israel’s
security after peace is
signed. The American Jew-
ish leader said that Israel
will have to be the judge of
what its security requires
and that American Jewry
will back Israel’s decision.
Schindler said he met with
Sadat on Premier Menahem
Begin’s request and after
receiving an invitation from
Ashraf Ghorbal, the Egyp-
tian Ambassador in the
United States. He told
reporters that the conver-
sation had not dealt “specif-
ically" on the Palestinian
issue but when he mention-
ed the fear of a Soviet-back-
ed Palestine Liberation Or-
ganization rule of the West
Bank, Sadat said, “We don’t
want them there any more
than you do.” Sadat stressed
several times that Egypt
could proceed completely
unhindered in the Arab
world, and implied that if an
agreement was reached with
Israel the other Arab states
would quickly fall in line,
according to Schindler. But
the Egyptian President
swept aside Schindler’s cau-
tious observation that “you
are not, forgive me, the only
leader in the Arab world . ..
Israel is surrounded by
other sources of danger.”
Sadat stressed repeatedly
that he presently represents
"at least one-third of the
Arab world” and in addition
Egypt was the linchpin to
the fate of the conflict. The
Egyptian leader also ex-
hibited an acute awareness
of the political power and
influence of American Jew-
ry, according to Schindler.
He told reporters that his
message to Sadat was “of
U.S. Jewry’s concern for
Israel’s security, and of its
appreciation for what he has
done in the cause of peace.”
The meeting had somewhat
the aura of a social occasion
with the presence of Sadat’s
wife, Jina, and Sc.iindler’s
wife Rhea. The Schindlers
and Yehuda He’.lman, the
Presidents Conference’s ex-
ecutive director, flew from
Cairo to Sadat in a special
jet carrying Egyptian Vice
President Husni Mobarak.
Israel Ready
For High Risks
BY JIMMY WISCH
TEL AVIV [SPL.] -
Gad Jacobi, Chairman of
the Knesset Economic
Committee told the
Southwest Region of the
UJA L’Chaim Mission
Sunday night that Israel
was “ready to pay a high
price in territories and
take a high risk, but we
are not ready to en-
danger our security.”
He said Israel would
not be intimidated by
‘“threats” and that Israel
was ready to discuss
open borders and mutual
interests of her Arab
neighbors but first “the
meaning of peace has to
be clarified.”
This was part of an
economic briefing heard
by the group on the eve
of the opening of another
round of negotiations in
Jerusalem.
