Beginning Friday evening, Oct. 8, Jewish people
throughout the world will observe the closing days
of the eight-day festival of Sukkot or Tabernacles,
climaxed by Simchat Torah, which means literally,
"Rejoicing with the Torah."
Simchat Torah is the most joyful festival in the
Jewish calendar year, dramatized by the carrying of
the Torah Scrolls around the synagogue seven
times in sacred procession, celebrating the completion of the annual cycle of reading the Torah and
marking the beginning of starting it anew.

©wish Relations In Israel
Suffer Yet Another Major Blow
JERUSALEM (JTA)-
The delicate relations between Arabs and Jews in
Israel suffered another blow
last week as thousands of
Israeli atoabs staged a general strike, the first in six
years.
Six years ago, the Arabs in
Israel declared a general
strike in protest against the
confiscation of land in the
Galilee for mainly Jewish
development projects. Although the Arabs have persisted in noting "Land Day"
every March 30 since then,
they have been careful not to
strain relations with the
Jewish majority and have
refrained from holding
strikes.
