If you wish information about Jewish places of interest anywhere in the world, including the synagogues or kosher restaurants or even mikvahs, The Post and Opinion has made arrangements to provide precise and up-to-the minute answers

to requests from its readers.

New Jewish paper set for Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES - A fourth Jewish publication, as yet unnamed, will make its debut here shortly. It will come out every other week and its publisher and editor will be Yehudah Lev, whose newsletter, “A Majority of One,” while only several years old has established him as an investigative newsman who doesn’t fear to tread on sacred grounds. “Majority of One” has been discontinued but probably will appear in the new publication.

Meanwhile, the trial of the $1.5 suit of Heritage against the Federation Council continues to be heard in the courts. The suit was filed when the Federation/Council began issuing its own house paper more frequently and became a threat to the economic viability of the other three papers. Lev is on the board of the Federation/Council and has often been its critic. He formerly was public director for the University of Judaism (Conservative).

Injuries dull basketball lookout

By SHELWALLMAN We painted an optomistic picture for the 1984-85 college basketball season, but a string P ^ of injuries has caused the paint W " r to begin to chip. First ' / *. GWUfrosh, 6:9 Vl^Max Blank, ■ hurst his knee HMBk JHand underwent Wallman anthroscopic surgery. Max is wearing a brace and running with a limp. Then Rutgers’ 6:7 soph, Eddie Zucker, also underwent anthroscopic knee surgery. He has recently returned to the hardwood, but, like Blank, he has not regained his form and appears to favor his injured knee. Both players figured highly in their team’s plans, but for their own good they should have become medical red-shirts and sat out the season. Now comes word that Penn’s 6:8 frosh center, Neil Bernstein, broke his finger during a practice session and underwent surgery. Where will it end?

THE MACCABIAH Bob Berland, a silver medal winner in the 1984 Olympics, was among the competitors at the tryouts for the US Maccabiah Judo team held Jan. 6 on Long Island, NY.

Lenny Bernstein of Rockville, Md., works the mats at 142 lbs. for North Carolina He was 111:0 during his prep reign at the Bullis School and was a World Junior champion in 1984.

ON THE GRIDIRON San Francisco 49’er rookie, TE John Frank, has apparently made his decision. While at Ohio State, he wavered, "Medical school or the NFL?” Now Sports Illustrated has given us his answer. They carried this quote from John: “A surgeon friend told me, ‘love the one you’re with.’ I’m committed to football, and I don't care how long it takes to finish medical school.” UCLA center, Dave Baran of Newfield, NJ has been drafted on the 14th round by Baltimore of the USFL.

DaHa Coriatshows win in Florida was no fluke

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO — The winning habit which Dalia Coriat assumed when she won the Citrus Bowl tournament in Florida did not desert the new Israeli tennis princess as she followed up that triumph with victory in the important Coqui Bowl here, both in singles and doubles. Just turned 15, the Israeli captured the girls under 16 title by defeating Italy’s Giovanna Carotenuto, and then teamed up with Dolores

Bagarain of Argentina to win the under 16 doubles title. An additional title cairc to Israel as Yael Vitale joined with Anne Aallonene of Finland to win the girls under 18 title. Gilad Bloom and Haim Zion did not fare so well. Bloom lost in the under 18 event by the score of 6-3, 64, and likewise for Zion, who put up a strong battle but lost in the under 16 event by 3-6, 6-0, 9-7, both in the semi-finals.
