LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Ten yesrs ego the SAZF in Tel-Aviv sent out itsfirst Newsletter. Out of that developed the Telfed "ajournal for South Africans in Israel". Every twomonths or so this little booklet with news about thedoings of South Africans in Israel arrived at theirhomes all over the country. The most widely readcolumn, it seems, was the list of New Glim Arrivals.So it still is, but we all feel the time has come to bringTelfed up to date — not only in appearance, newformat, new print — but also with more readable,relevant content. Andthis, dear reader is where youc o m e i n

We have decided to publish a regular PersonalAnnouncements Column — "hatch, match anddespatch" — at a nominal cost of IS WO.— for a 3-line insert, so let us have the news of your familyevents. Also Sport — let us know what is going tohappen as well as what has taken place — the moreinformation you let us have the better coverage wecan give. If you hear of special achievements,honours or new ventures associated with recent orveteran S.A. Glim, tell us so that we can spread thew o r d .

Write and tell us what you would like to read;write us articles you think others would like to read.Let us have your letters, opinions and news. Goodnews or bad news — if it's of interest to S. Africansin Israel we think it should be in Telfed. What do yout h i n k ?

It was "standing room only" when some 600former S.A. turned up at the opening of the "Jewsin South Africa" exhibition at Bet Hatefutsoth,generating terrific excitement when people whohadn't seen each other in years literally bumpedinto each other in the crush. The exhibition, whichwas both impressive in scope and the depth of theresearch; and at the same time touching in thehuman scenes that brought back many memoriesto the viewers, was videod, as was all of theopening ceremony, and is being sent to SouthAfrica for show there. General Aharon Doron,General Manager of Beth Hatefutsoth, anticipatedthe exhibition wilf have been seen by some 60,000people during the three months it is on show in TelA v i v .

"THUMBS UP" AT SDE NITZAN

"1 got my green thumb at Sde Nitzan" is themessage Les Balkind has blazoned across the backof his jacket; but the message he asked Telfed tobroadcast is that Sde Nitzan, now ten years old, isready and eager to accept new members.

A living example of how the desert can be madeto bloom, this 60-family Moshay Oydim, 55kilometres west of Beer Sheba, is this monthcelebrating its 10th anniversary. Making thebiggest splash, among the various celebrationevents, was no doubt be the opening of the brand-new beautifully blue swimming pool, a birthdaypresent to the settlement by Canadianphilanthropist Bernard Bloomfield, whose originaldonations made the Moshav possible and afterwhom it is named. Among its predominantly-Anglo-Saxon settlers is a closely knit group offormer South Africans who today number 11families and 36 children. On a day when nature tooseemed to be celebrating the end of a bountifulwinter of record rainfalls, and the normally sandywastes were completely covered with a multicoloured carpet of wild flowers and grasses,members of the SAZF Executive went down to seehow they were getting on.

Les Balkind, who was an accountant inJohannesburg before he came to Israel, is theMoshav Treasurer. Taking us through thehothouses fragrant with ready-for-export flowersand juicy red tomatoes all cultivated by themembers with the help of volunteers during thewinter season. Les explained that it was a moshavdecision not to use any hired Arab labour. ' We'rereally set up to welcome new immigrants now", hesaid. "As we are a Moshav with a large nucleus ofEnglish speaking people we have far fewer Klitahproblems and it's much easier for newcomers tobecome absorbed with the quality of life we nowhave to offer." Social worker Merle Harris, whohas been a member of Sde Nitzan for only threeyears and is in charge of the Klitah Committee isherself a good example.

Enthusiastic about the way of life, and obviouslyhappy, she and her husband Wolfe, like everyfamily, have an attractive house and 20dunams, ofw h i c h 3 d u n a m s a r e h o t h o u s e s a n d t h e r e s torchards. The winter export crops grown in thehothouses such as chrysanthemums, and thehanging tomatoes are snapped-up in the sun-starved markets of Europe, while the orchards areplanted with such money makers as mango, andthe new in Israel flowers Australian Protea andBanksia which can bring as much as SI.—$1 -50 abloom, Wolfe Harris, who studied music before hecame to Israel to become an expert in agriculture,croons to his crops — while Raoul Abel coachest h e m o s h a v c h i l d r e n i n t e n n i s o n t h e t w o n e wcourts and says they show a lot of promise. RobertRosenberg, the Moshav Accountant, specialises inseedless hothouse grapes, another popular itemon the European market, while his wife Tobi, amedical technologist, runs the local laboratory. Forthe past five years she has been making bloodtests, cultures, pap smears, etc., for all the

settlements in the Pithat Shalom and EshkolRegion areas, saving them numerous man-hoursthat would otherwise have been wasted in thejourneys to and from Beer Sheba to do the tests.Always on the look-out for better equipment andfacilities, she told us the story of the ZeissMicroscope they had received as a gift for the useof the Ear, Nose and Throat visiting specialist,which turned out to be a dual-purpose donationonce it was also discovered by the visitinggyneacologist.

There are about 200 children on Sde Nitzantoday and the average age of their parents is early-to-mid thirties. There is a clinic, junior high school,well-stocked library, a hall for functions andfestivals (and when it comes to family celebrationseveryone gives a hand and helps) clean air, room tomove and no traffic. Added all together it comes tothe quality of life that many people dream of, andthe members of Sde Nitzan want to share it withother young families like themselves.

"We've been through the hard years", says Les,"Now each year is better than the one before, andhaving been through the absorption experienceourselves we can help newcomers settle in muchmore easily. Now is also a good time to buy aMeshek while the prices, between $30,000 and$40,000, are still low." "All newcomers arewelcome", adds Merle with a smile, "especially aD o c t o r. . . "

S O U T H A F R I C A N S I N G L E S S E E K VTo spend two days in the company of an

intelligent group of young, committed Zionists is aheartwarming experience in these days of materialcynicism. The opportunity came when the SAZFheld their second Seminar for Singles called"Finding a Way to Stay" at the end of March. It wasa good way to follow one of the projects of theAliyah and Klitah Department and to meet a bunchof boys and girls from South Africa who have comeh e r e t o l e a r n H e b r e w a n d i n v e s t i g a t e t h epossibilities of Aliyah.

Mostly in their late teens and early twenties, justover half of the participants in the Seminar came toIsrael as individuals (some together with one ortwo friends) to work and study on Kibbutz Ulpan forsix months — while the other half was a highlymotivated homogeneous Habonim Kvutzat Alryahgroup who are doing their Ulpan at KibbutzMetzubah. Their goal is for as many as possible toeventually join Kibbutz Tuval.

As the SAZF policy is to strengthen Jewishs e t t l e m e n t i n t h e G a l i l e e , t h e t o u r w h i c hproceeded the Seminar was planned to show thepotential Olim the western Galilee and to offerthem various programmes in which they canexperience other aspects of life in Israel once theyhave completed their Kibbutz Ulpan studies.

First stop was Ma'Atot. Once a typical, backwarddevelopment town — Ma'alot today is a dynamic,developing town whose challenges are what manyyoung, unattached newcomers are seeking.Running the Ma'Alot programme, which she callsa "Trial Living Experience", is Elaine Kopp, aformer Hadassah Lady from New York who tookw i t h h e r t o M a ' A l o t s e v e n y e a r s a g o t h eenthusiasm, dynamism and dedication that haveattracted a healthy nucleus of English speakingOlim to make their homes there too. Many of themare graduates of the Ma'Alot programme, a primeexample being Jeffrey Sapire who took part in thefirst Singles' Seminar last autumn and went on tojoin the Ma'Alot programme. A psychologist, he

T O S T A Y

worked as a volunteer kindergarten teacher's aid,fell in love with the community and the town andhas just returned from his native Johannesburg asa new Oleh to Ma'Alot with a job as IndustrialPsychologist as the Elscint factory there.

The trip continued with a tour around theattractive and well-planned rapidly growing towno f C a r m i e l a n d t h e n o n t o l u n c h a t t h e S o u t hAfrican settlement, Moshav Manof. A completecontrast was given in the programme outlined atMarvah, an army outpost on top of a windy hilloverlooking the Western Galilee. This offers youngpeople who are not yet new immigrants a chanceto prepare themselves physically and mentally forarmy service and life in Israel with a para-militaryprogramme that also includes lectures and toursgiving a broad, basic insight into The Land of Israel.

The second day o f t he semina r i nc ludedworkshops, lectures and most important,a chancefor the participants to evaluate what they had seen,a i r t h e i r p a r t i c u l a r p r o b l e m s a n d m a k econstructive suggestions. What particularly struckthe Telfed reporter was their committment toIsrael, and their strong desire to become involved.

"THE TRAUBS OF ZICHRON" — Rhoda and Isy— a re gifted, modest and quiet living, an immigrantcouple from South Africa whose good works, in amost l i teral sense, have made them known to twogenerations of Israelis and South Africans. Theyhave now agreed to revea l the dona t ion o f the i rhome to the Technion, arranged with the help ofJudge Joseph Herbstein and Alec Pincus of SAZF'sBursary & Scholarship Committee. This action willenable their contribution to higher learning inIsrael to remain in perpituity, to be used by theTe c h n i o n a s a r e s t h o m e f o r s t a f f m e m b e r s , aresidence for staff and visiting scientists and auniquely beautiful site for seminars and studyc o u r s e s .

The story of Beth Traub, tucked away on a slopeof Zichron Yaakov, began when Isy, then a self-confessed "non-Zionist", visited Palestine duringhis serv ice wi th the South Afr ican Force in Egyptduring the second World War. He was a Cape Townlawyer with a passion for painting when the metRhoda Lazarus, an artist trained in sculpture andceramics. They married and decided to go to Israel,at the time in the thickof the War of Independence,scarcely promising two artists an idyllic life. Onarrival in September 1948 they immediatelyvolunteered to serve in Mahal, and were postedfirst to Mayan Baruch and then to Kfar Monash.Af ter the war they rented a smal l house inJerusalem, the border with Jordan crossing fromtheir street, and their home became a landmark forvisiting South Africans, with its sign on the gate"Maak die hek toe, a.u.b.". This sign is now inZichron Yaakov. Then Rhoda was commissioned byarchitect Otto Schiller who planned and executed

A professional survey to establish the needs andpreferences of S. African "Golden Agers" living inIsrael has been approved by the SAZF in Tel-Aviv.

That an urgent need exists for the establishmento f a s u i t a b l e R e t i r e m e n t H o m e f o r O l i m f r o mSouthern Africa was clearly demonstrated by thelarge and interested gathering of former SouthAfricans and Zimbabweans who packed the hall ofthe Telfed Social Centre in Givatayim recently. Themeeting had been called by an ad-hoc committeewhich for some time has been energeticallyworking on a project of this nature which it hascal led BETH PROTEA.

The Chairman of the ad hoc committee, Mr.W a l t e r R o b i n s o n , d e s c r i b e d t h e i d e a s a n dobjectives which had been formulated by thec o m m i t t e e . H e e m p h a s i s e d t h e b a s i c a i m o fproviding an attractive setting in which Olim fromSouthern Africa can continue to enjoy ar e a s o n a b l y c o m f o r t a b l e a n d a c t i v e s t a n d a r d o fliving after retirement, with the security ofk n o w i n g t h a t s h o u l d i l l - h e a l t h o v e r t a k e t h e m i nlater years, provision for care will be available.

The meeting unanimously passed a resolutionexpressing its complete confidence in the ad hoccommittee authorising it to act on behalf of thepersons present and recommending that it makerepresentations at the highest level to the S.A.Z i o n i s t F e d e r a t i o n f o r fi n a n c i a l a n d m o r a lassistance with the project.

As a resu l t o f th i s reso lu t ion , the Federa t ion 'sIsrae l Execut ive appointed a sub-commit tee to s i tjointly with the Beth Protea Committee. At theirfirst meeting it was decided to make a definitivesurvey on which future action can be based.

the magnificent Ramat Hanadiv Memorial andGardens for Baron de Rothschild, to sculpture fourmajor pieces, including one in the Mausoleum. Isy& Rhoda fell in love with Zichron, reminiscent ofthe Cape, bought land and built a house designedby Schiller. They surrounded their home and studioby an orchard of almonds, olives, oranges, lemons,plums and flovvering shrubs, and filled it withwarmth and a love for Israel, that has foundexpression in their gift to the Technion.
