NEW YORK (JTA) — Sixty anti-Semitic incidents were
reported in Holland during 1983, according to a survey con
ducted by a Dutch Jewish organization. The audit grew out of
concern over the growth of religious and racial bigotry that has
resulted from the rise of right wing extremist movements there.
The anti-Semitic incidents in Holland “are particularly disturb
ing because the Dutch Jewish community has been targeted
by the extremist groups in a nation which has traditionally been
known as being relatively free of discrimination against
minorities.”
(JTA) — “The small Jewish community in Nicaragua has been
so intimidated by Sandinista actions and rhetoric during and
after the revolution that virtually the entire community has fled
the country. Today, no more than a half dozen of a community
that numbered about 50 in 1979 remain in the country. In 1978,
five Sandinista guerrillas attempted to set fire to the door of
the Jewish synagogue, along with the private property of many
prominent Jews. The government then permitted a Sandinista
organization to use the building as its headquarters.
LOS ANGELES (JTA) — In an effort to document the lives
of each of the millions of Jews who perished in the Holocaust,
Yad Vashem is inviting survivors to file Pages of Testimony
on loved ones lost. Forms for biographical material are available
from the Martyrs Memorial and Museum of the Holocaust, 6505
Vashem’s West Coast affiliate, whose chairman is Abraham
Spiegel.
JERUSALEM (JTA) — One-third of Israel’s fresh ve^table
exports go to Lebanon. The figure last year was $16 million out
of a total of $49 million worth of fresh vegetables exported by
Israel. All of this produce is marketed by Agrexco, the com
pany controUed by the Agriculture Ministry.
JERUSALEM (JTA) — An international Jewish gathering
to mark the 40th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany
will be held in Jerusalem this month. Some 100,000 people are
expected to attend, 20,000 of them guests from abroad.
Hail Project Renewal For Involving People
The following is an excerpt from a report in The Jerusalem
Post evaluating the impact of Project Renewal, a partnership
of Jewish Federations with special neighborhoods in Israel.
Project Renewal is “the
most successful urban reha
bilitation program of our time
anywhere in the world,” ac
cording to Professor Daniel
Elazar, president of the Jeru
salem Centre for Public Af
fairs, who headed an “indep>en-
dent study” of the joint
government-Jewish Agency
slum renewal program.
Elazar, a professor at Bar II-
an University, maintained
that “most urban renewal pro
jects around the world have
either been terrible failures or
modest successes because
they didn't make things
worse.”
The renewal campaign was
announced by then-premier
Menachem Begin at a fund
raising dinner in the Knesset
in August, 1977. He described
a grand vision of rehabilitation
of urban neighborhoods “with
in five years.”
The great contribution of
Project Renewal, Elazar ex
plained, was the new role of
consultation and involvement
by both Diaspora Jews and by
slum residents. In the past,
the Diaspora givers only
donated, and the residents
were told what was good for
them by Israeli authorities.
Personal ties between the
mostly-Ashkenazi Diaspora
donors and the mostly—
Sephardi residents became
very strong, closer than those
between most Ashkenazi of
ficials in Israel and needy
Oriental Jews.
Elazar said that the suc
cesses are not necessarily ir
reversible, if contacts are not
maintained after financial sup
port by the twinned Diaspora
communities is stopped. Dias
pora communities will soon
phase out msdntenance money
for facilities built in a number
of neighborhoods, but those
social and educational pro
grams that won’t receive
government support are like
ly to receive continued funding
from the Diaspora, he said.
