"We expect Israel to withdraw to the pre-67 borders, without any border adjustments, and that we will be given sovereignty over the Jerusalem neighborhoods which were under Jordanian rule until the Six Day War." This statement was made this week by Dr. Sami Musallam, head of the Palestinian Authority's Jericho office, when addressing representatives of the Canadian Jewish Congress, who paid a visit to the Palestinian Authority on their way to the north of Israel.

The Executive Board of the Canadian Jewish Congress visiting Israel, decided to include a special visit to the north of Israel on their itinerary, as a sign of solidarity with the residents of the Confrontation Line following the recent escalation in southern Lebanon. The CJC trip was organized by the Department for Zionist Activities of the World Zionist Organization.

The visit to Jericho was tense, although the hosts did their best to instill a pleasant atmosphere. "Jerusalem is not to be divided," said the guests from Canada. "If you want to convince us of your sincerity, then change the curricula in your schools and don't encourage violence against Israel," said David Rutenberg. Dr. Musallam responded that until a new syllabus is prepared, the old Jordanian syllabus is being taught. These were prepared before the peace agreement between Jordan and Israel.

During their visit to the north of Israel, led by former Metulla mayor, Yossi Goldberg, the representatives of the Canadian Jewish Congress visited Metullah, entered southern Lebanon through the "good fence," met with senior IDF officers, and soldiers serving along the border. They also visited the Golan Heights and Sheikh Hussein Bridge border crossing with Jordan.

Britain's United Jewish Israel Appeal is embarking on "Operation Shelter," a special campaign to raise fund for the Confrontation Line along Israel's northern border against the background of the withdrawal from Lebanon. Dubi Bergman, head of the Jewish Agency's delegation in the United Kingdom reports that David Cohen and Jonathan Kestenbaum, who head the UJIA in the UK, have decided to continue to strengthen the special ties which have been created in recent years with settlements along Israel's northern border, based on reciprocal youth visits.

Bergman said that a special telethon headed by Steven Martin will start this Sunday in an effort to raise additional funds to purchase equipment for shelters in the area so as to alleviated the hardships encountered by the local population and particularly the youth during hours spent in the shelters during Hizbollah attacks. Kits for children will be purchased with the money raised by the telethon which will include games, toys, books, etc.

Bergman adds that in addition to helping the residents of the north of Israel, the aim of the UJIA is to strengthen the Zionist identity of youngsters in Britain. He emphasized that all the youth movements in Britain participate in the Jewish Agency's Israel Experience program and host youth from the border areas when they visit Britain.

"Despite many obstacles, the State of Israel was established, it is constantly developing and the standard of living improving. It displays strength, stability and progress in science and technology. We respect the spirit of the citizens of Israel and admire all those who assist this country to solve its problems," said Yuri Luzhkov, Mayor of Moscow at the opening of Israel's Independence Day celebrations organized by the Jewish Agency, last Sunday at the Luzhniki Olympic Sports Hall. More than 8,000 Moscow Jews took part in the event.

Well - I'm proud of it, even though I am not Jewish," he said.

Hundreds of Moscow Jews his week contacted the Jewish Agency's offices in the city for advice and information following an enormous aliyah fair which was held a few hours before the Independence Day celebrations. At the fair, which was organized by the Jewish Agency, candidates for aliyah were able to meet directly with employers and representatives of the absorption authorities in Israel.

Tali Adgach

Tali Adgach is returning to Ethiopia for the first time in 16 years, in order to help her native country. Tali, who qualified as a nurse three and a half years ago, now works in the ER at the Assaf Harofeh Hospital. Another doctor and nurse of Ethiopian origin will also be participating in the aid team being organized by the Jewish Agency.

Tali, 27 years old and single, came to Israel in 1984 in Operation Moses together with her parents and five of her siblings. The Adgachs had another child after their arrival in Israel. The tough journey to Israel, from Dabat in the Gindar region, via the Sudan, took more than a year.

After completing her high-school studies at the ll ek Israel Agricultural School, Tali enrolled in a pre-academic course at Haifa University. She was one of the first of the Ethiopian olim to enroll in academic studies.

In 1993 she completed the pre-academic course and together with 14 other Ethiopian olim, Tali was accepted to study nursing at Haifa's Rambam Hospital. Although the studies were not easy, Tali qualified as a nurse after completing the three year course and then began working in the ER at the Assaf Harofeh hospital.

"As soon as I heard that a Jewish medical team was being put together, I contacted Micha Feldman, the Jewish Agency's advisor on the Ethiopian community, and asked to be included. Ethiopia is not my home - my home is here in Israel. Nevertheless, the ability to return to one's country of birth and help others, who, even if they are not Jewish, are to a certain extent part of me, is extremely exciting as well as being a professional challenge for me," said Tali this week before leaving for Ethiopia.

The medical delegation to Ethiopia is being led by Dr. Yaakov Adler, who has gained a reputation as a doctor who is always willing to assist populations in disaster areas such as Cambodia and Biafra. Among the volunteers from Israel is Dr. Doron Fekede, an intern at Hadassah Hospital, who completed his medical studies in Ethiopia and made aliyah two years ago, Dr. Choni Rinat from Shaarei Zedek Hospital, Avraham Yetemgnue a nurse at the Hillel Yaffe hospital in Hadera who is also from Ethiopia, and Tali Adgach. Other Jewish doctors and nurses from other parts of the world have also volunteered to participate.

Jewish Agency Chairman Sallai Meridor and Treasurer Chaim Chesler this week met with members of the delegation to wish them success and brief them on the reasons for sending them to Ethiopia.

Dr. Adler, the leader of the delegation, suggested that the operation be named for Abie Nathan, pioneer of humanitarian aid from Israel. Nathan, who is now confined to bed following a stroke, responded tearfully when he heard that the operation had been called Operation Abie.

The medical team will be based at the Dese regional hospital and from there will operate two mobile units from a Landrover jeep.

The operation is being organized by Meir Nitzan, Director General of the Jewish Agency's Israel Department, in conjunction with the Department for International Cooperation at the Foreign Ministry, headed by Haim Divon; Israel's Ambassador to Ethiopia Ariel Kerem; and Jewish Agency emissary Zalman Perlmutter.

A new organic material, which replaces cyanides in the surface hardening process for metal parts for motors, is being successfully marketed by a start-up company at the JAFI funded Kiryat Gat Incubator. The start-up company - Nitrotech - was founded by Prof. Abraham Finklestein, a 76 year-old new immigrant scientist from the former Soviet Union, who developed the new material. Nitrotech already has private investors and the first products have been sold to heat treatment factories.

According to Rafi Brom, director of the Kiryat Gat High-Tech Center (G.H.T.C.), there are currently eight start-up projects underway in the incubator which is supported by the Greater Chicago Jewish Federation within the framework of the joint JAFI-UJC Partnership 2000. Some 37 projects have been successfully launched within the framework of the incubator an innovative vacuum manufacturing process developed by Aktar Ltd. According to Brom, Aktar was established by Iris and Dina Katzir, a mother and daughter scientific team who immigrated to Israel from Ukraine in 1992.

There are 26 incubators around the country which were set up by the Chief Scientist office of the Ministry of Trade and Industry. At various times 16 of these incubators, which are in Jerusalem, the Galilee and the Negev, have been supported by the Jewish Agency.

The incubators, which were set up nearly 10 years ago, have nurtured 412 projects, of which 206 achieved their initial objective, to attract outside investors and become fledgling companies. According to Rina Pridor, the director of the incubator program, these projects have attracted accumulated investments of more than $150 million.

The government devised the incubator program following the mass immigration from the former Soviet Union. The idea was to provide a sheltered business environment in which new immigrants, unfamiliar with Western business practices, could develop marketable new high-tech ideas. It became clear that the new frameworks were also suitable for native Israelis and currently about 50% of the employees are not new immigrants.

But LA has a large Sephardi Jewish community especially from Iran and I have found much material here to extend our repertoire to oriental Jewish music."
