Golda Has Hectic Week
Purim Signals Triumph Of Jews Over Enemy
Above are the main Purim characters from a 17th Century megillah formerly in the    ,
Bersohn Museum, Warsaw.
The victory of the Jews over a foe who sought to annihilate them will again be
celebrated as Purim, the "Festival of Lots" begins at sundown, Saturday, March 17.
, ^The festival of Jewish deliverance commemorates the defeat of the Persian tyrant
who demanded death for all Jews because a Jewish leader Mordecai refused to bow
before him in the streets. Queen Esther, however, persuaded King Ahashuerus to
reverse Hainan's command and to instead hand the autocrat on the same gallows he
had built for Mordecai.
Today, Purim marks a day of revelry with carnivals.-and masquerades,
noisemakers and nibbling on three-cornered hamantashen. In synagogue, the story of
the heroes of the Book of Esther is retold.

New Shaliacb To Represent

by BILL COHEN
Chronicle Special Reporter
In 1947* a Rumanian
Jewish couple and their six-
month old son were sailing
toward Palestine in an
illegal ship, hoping to break
through the British colonial
blockade. The British in¬
tercepted the boat, however,
and the family spent two
months in a detention camp
in Cyprus.
Finally, as the state of
Israel was born, the family
was welcomed to the Jewish
state.
The infant who went
through the symbolic ex¬
perience is now grown, and

history, and ways American
Jews can visit Israel.
"But even more important
than supplying information
about Israel," said Karrie,
"an Israeli in die Jewish
community can serve as a
stimulus to bridge the gap
between the two countries:
and bring American Jews
into a closer connection with
Israel."
