World Beat-
Africa and the Caribbean have
all participated in the recent
philatelic salute in honor of
Maimonides.
The first to issue a series of
stamps for the Rambam was
Antigua and Barbuda, a
former British colony in the
Leeward chain of the West
Indies.
The Republic of Guinea, a
former French colony in West
Africa, released a 7 Syli stamp
and 7 Syli souvenir sheet, pic
turing Maimonides at the age
of 13, being forced to flee with
the other Jews of Cordoba in
the aftermath of the town’s
conquest by a band of
fanatical Moslems.
Dominica, Grenada, the
Grenada Grenadines, Lesotho
and Sierra Leone have issued
single stamps bearing a por
trait of the Rambam and
highlighting his important
contributions in the field of
medicine.
Paraguay and Bolivia issued
special souvenir sheets in
rather limited editions of just
5,000 copies.
Peres Exercises By
Running The Cabinet
WASHINGTON (JTA) -
Israeli Premier Shimon Peres
does not apparently have the
desire for exercise displayed
by so many American govern
mental leaders. At a “photo
opportunity” during his meet
ing with Vice President
George Bush at the White
House, Bush was heard telling
Peres about his tennis game.
Bush asked Peres whether he
plays tennis, and when the
response was negative he ask
ed the Premier if he jogs or
cont’d from page 4
does any other exercise since
he looks so fit. “I run the
Israeli Cabinet,” Peres replied.
Tid-Bits
NEW YORK (JTA) - The
Australian Press Council has
censured a Croatian weekly
newspaper, Hrvatski Tjednik,
for publishing an article that
contains “wild and unsubstan
tiated” anti-Semitic state
ments.
The article charged that
Jewish organizations “run the
world,” was a “classic case of
conspiracy theory which has
been used by anti-Semites for
the past century,” according
to the Press Council, adding
that it was “typical of the kind
of propaganda that has been
us^ to stir up anti-Jewish pre
judice and justify racial
persecution.”
•
JERUSALEM (JTA) - De
spite opposition by Orthodox
elements, the Israel Philatelic
Service will issue three new
stamps, depicting the three
main trends in Judaism. One
stamp will depict Yeshiva
University, the second will be
dedicated to the Rabbinical
Beit Midrash of the Conser
vative movement, the third to
the Hebrew Union College of
the Reform movement.
•
JERUSALEM (JTA) - The
Keisis, the religious leaders of
the Ethiopian Jewish com
munity, decided to defy the
Chief Rabbinate Council and
perform meirriages between
Ethiopian couples privately
without ritual immersion or
other symbolic conversion
rites the Rabbinate demands.
JERUSALEM (JTA) -
Israeli rabbis are exhorting
parents not to send their
children to non-Orthodox
religious schools or to State-
run religious schools that are
co-educational. They also ob
ject to schools where Jewish
and Arab pupils might meet.
JOHANNESBURG (JTA)
— Two leading Jewish
political figures have been
elected mayors of Johan
nesburg and Sandton.
Prof. Harold Rudolph, 38,
served for 14 years on the
Johannesburg City Council
before being inducted as the
city’s mayor.
Hazel Egdes-Shochet, 52,
has been a Sandton town
counselor for almost nine
years before taking on the
duties of mayor.
JERUSALEM (JTA) -
Israel has developed a
lightweight, easily portable
robot that can lift and ex
amine suspicious-looking ob
jects and safely detonate
bombs at long range. Called
Bambi, it was unveiled by the
police bomb disposal unit. It is
the first such device made in
Israel and has promising ex
port possibilities.
The Tel^Aviv-based Sivan
Century 21 Co. which manu
factures the Bambi, hopes to
sell it abroad for $20,000 each,
half the price Israel pays for
the much heavier, more
cumbersome bomb-disposal
robots it now imports from
Britain and Ireland.
