Special, enlarged tours celebrating America’s 200th birthday — and the 312th anniversary of Jews arriving in New York Tours can be arranged for groups or individuals — Available during the week and week-ends — Coordinating with the hi-centennial celebration can be arranged. I would like to thank the participants in my previous tours and urge that you should schedule another tour during the festive centennial of 1976-77. My gratitude to all those who helped raise the money to carve “ISAIAH” is name under the quotation opposite the United Nations. It is thanks to the encouragement and support of the groups that I led to the wall who inspired me to spend the 15 months of battling cily officials and getting this rectified.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Four Conservative rabbis, headed by Rabbi Stanley S. Rabinowitz, who had been part of a tour to Russia were advised that their requests for visas had been rejected because of insufficient hotel rooms in Moscow. The obvious alibi for refusing at the last minute permission for Rabbi Rabinowitz, Rabbis Armond E. Cohen. Melvin L. Libman and Samuel Sehafler to visit Russia brought strong words from Rabbi Rabinowitz who has just been elected president of the Conservative rabbinate. ‘‘While Russia supports liberation movements in various parts of the world,” he stated, “the implicaion of liberty is denied to her own citizens, as well as to tourists.”

Sniper Wounding 6 Danger To Society TEL AVIV - The Russian immigrant woman, a 38-year-old Holon nurse who wounded six persons with a 22 calibre pistol, is definitely a danger to society three psychiatrists who were ordered by the courts to examine her. testified. A threejudge panel will decide whether she is fit to stand trial. Sarah Elkanovich was charged with purchasing the weapon and 1.000 rounds of ammunition last January and practicing shooting during March and the beginning of April at the Holon firing range. At the same time she enrolled in a sewing class at which she made a special bag with strong fabric leaving a small hole for the gun's muzzle. It was this that prevented her detection although the shooting victims were in such congested areas as the central bus station here.

Terrorists Kill Returning Refugees JERUSALEM - Reports here relate that two Lebanese civilians who crossed into Israel to escape the civil war were murdered by terrorists when they returned home. The pair had crossed into Israel after Defense Minister Shimon Peres had announced that Israel would be a haven for any refugees. They worked in Israel for two months and then made their way back to Lebanon.

Q. We’re going to Italy . . . more specifically, Florence. W’hat’s there for us?” B.J., Columbus, O. A. Florence is one of my favorite cities and for those oi us who like to walk, it’s a sheer pleasure. Florence is a walk about city, so get your most comfortable shoes on. You must, of course, go to the great Florence Synagogue on Via L.C. Farini 4. Its three-tier facade is crowned by a huge dome and inside are priceless Venetian mosaics and frescoes. The Moorish style edifice was damaged during the Second World War but has since been restored. In the courtyard is a Martyrs Memorial as w'ell as a schoolhouse and nursery. THERE ARE MANY, many places of Jewish interest ir Florence. The Laurenziana Library' has a large collection ol Hebrew manuscripts, as has the National Library. In th« Academia della Belle Arti is the famous statue of David by Michelangelo, while four other statues of David by Italian masters are in the National Museum. Copies of Michelangelo’s David are in the Piazza della Signoriria and in Pizzafle Michelangelo. In the main courtyard of Pitti Palace is a statue of Moses by Corradi. You'll find quite a few paintings of Jewish interest in the Uffizi Gallery. The ORT Trade School, which specializes in fashion and tailoring, is at Via Giambologna 25, and the Old People’s Home is on Via Carducci. The kosher Restaurant Servi is on the first floor at Via L.C. Farini 2a. right next to the synagogue. WHILE IN FLORENCE. I must tell you about one of my most embarrasing moments. I happened to be there on a Shabbos and went to the great synagogue. To make a Tong story short, they were looking for a Kohan. and one of the men was going from row to row on the mission. I was seated in the rear and when I answered him affirmatively, I also stupidly said: “I’m sorry, but I don't speak Italian.” He smiled at me his eyes lighted up and he said sweetly: “No problem. We con duct our services in Hebrew'.

Syrian Jews Better Off, Says Chief Rabbi's Son

LONDON — Returning from a two-week visit with his family in Damascus, the son of the chief rabbi of the Syrian capital told The Jewish Chronicle here that the situation of the Damascus Jewish community has improved dramatically during the past two years. Benjamin Assa, whose father is Rabbi Itzhak Assa and known as Rabbi Zaki Minfah, said he and his wife celebrated the Seder with his parents and other members of the family. The Mexican businessman who left Syria in 1948 said that the Syrian authorities had lifted many of the previous restrictions on the Jewish community. A total of 22 synagogues function in Damascus, and Jewish doctors are permitted to practice. Although Jews must receive permits to visit outside of Damascus, they now may leave the Jewish quarter and travel to other parts of the city.

Assa said that some Syria Jewish businessmen have bee permitted to travel to Europ but unaccompanied by an members of their family. Ur attached Jews cannot traw abroad.
