We hsd been invited to a pwty, by printed invitatiuL In fact, it waa the inviUtkm with its lovely gdd lettering that told me it was a "dressy" party. S«uebody wsa going all out to reaUy entertain nicely and I was pleased at the prospect of getting all farpitzed and soddizinglike a growniq>. And frrfitsed I got Not only that, I made sore my date did the same, necktie and aU. Sound dcay so fart Of course. We went to the party. We arrived at the appointed place and immediatdy noticed many others walking frtm their parked cars. But waitaminute. Something faistantly sfaack a sour note with me. Our dothes. We looked great and so did everyone ^Ise we saw, but they were aU dressed quite infwmally, in what we call "casual" dothes. No neckties vul jadcets on the men and not one pair of hig^ beds on the women. Slacks, sweaters, ^mart and chk essoal staff and thet^ we were, aU decked out for hwveil^oly-knows. Only beiivl'eilttideteiy mature edult kept me from going back ^ the ear and retoming bcmw to drsBS again... Mag mature uid the firm grasp'of a hand on my am and a vdce saying "don't be silly."

But the facts are stiU the same. We all want to look the way we think we're sunioeed to. We want to be u»(t>priataly attired and even thoogii every woman woud like to have the moat sensational outfit on this planet, ahe doesn't want to stick out like a sore thumb when she wears it. I guess it oouki have been worse. We attended a wedding recently where two guests arrivad wearing ahnost identical drsssas.

I'm not sure I even know the qoestiao, but if it's "how to avoid wearing the wrong thing to a party," I aoppose the answer is call the hostess and ask. You know, I thouf^t of doing that, then thought "oh, for heaven's sake, I fed Iflts a high eehod Ud comparing notes sbout what to wear to the sockh^." Too bad—I should have gone with the teen formula Old compared notes, oTbaDsd or something. For sore, frtun now on 111 be a bit more attentive to theantfrebudness.

I mesn if we were wearing jeaaa and swastshirts and ahowed up at a gathering where eveiybody else was dresaed to the nines, well, I don't even want to think about that ecanario.

"Not at all," the Dnue replied. "I served in the Israel army for eifl^t years, and I consider this as the homeland of both our peofdes." But what if the government should take you up on your ofiiar ttid actually send you a large number of Russian imnngrants? What then? The prannatic esqjilanation then emerged. "That wouU be just me," sakl Tarif . "At Isst there would be a devdopment program in our town. F|ns% thmgs wouU begin moving. Just imagine, if I were to approach the government today and aw for funds to heb set up an industrisl area, do you think I would get a favorable reply?

Soviet Jews come to U.S. as refugees during 1991 By Roward^ooenberg WASHINGTON (JTA) -Predent BUah has authorized the admission of 50.000 Soviet emigres to the United States as refugees during the new Rscal year, which began Oct. 1. Of that total, 40,000 are expected to be Soviet Jews. All of them will receive federal assistance covering transportation and initial resettlement costs. By contrast; i{i the last fiscal year, 10,000 of the 50,000 "refugee slots" were not funded by the U.S. government. As a result, private Jewish groups had to provide complete funding for the transmigration of 8,000 Soviet Jews.

U.S. Jewish groups Bou^ and obtained full funding for those costs during the 1991 fiscal year. But they did not seek an inoreaae in the 50,000 Soviet refugee quota, so as not to divert to the United States emigres who might otherwise settle in Israel. The Jewish groups also did not want to jeopardize the current level of refugee admissions from ojSier coimtries by requesting an increase in the>^jl^viet quota. Overall, Bush increased from 126,000 to 131,000 the number of refugees who will be admitted worldwide this fiscal year. They are granted oitry if they demonstrate a "well-

By T4Mn Tngend LOS ANGELES (JTA) — Jewish groups worried ova- a possible Japanese company's boycott of Israel may try to exert pressure to stymie an SB billion bid by a JqMuese company to purchase the American entertainment giant MCA Inc. The poteotial porcfaasar is the MatsuahiU Electric Industrial Co., one of the world's largest electronics manufacturers, which has cooaistCDtly adhered to the anti-Iarael bcqroQtt MCA, which owns Universal Studios, MoUnni Reoorda, theme parks, real estate and a aaeesaafdl taieviaion division, is headed by Chairman Lew Waaaerman and Ptaaidetit Sdney Sheinberg, both leading Hollywood aiqiporters of Jewish and laradl causes. Another such supporter is Michael Ovitt, chairman of Creative Artists Agency, which represents Matsushita in the nsgotiations. According to an Oct. 10 front-page article in the Los Angeles Times, the Japanese firm's boycott

policy could technically prevent it from sdiing MCA's movies and television shows to Israel, if the deal goes through. However, under U.S. law, Amstican companies are forbidden to conqily with the boycott, even tf th^ have foreign owners. Executives of both MCA ami Matstuhita involved in the eeorscyshrooded nogotiations dedinsd official oommsBt on the boycott problam. ^ HonverWnamed sources dted by the llmas said that MCA would not farasdi off Migotiationa over the boycott issue, bat in any casa wooU cootinue selling to Israel even if acquired by the Jiyanese firm. On the other hand, Matsushita executives have aboem no willingness to diaoootinua their oomplianee with the boycott.

founded fear of persecution." Officials at the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, which helps Soviet Jews seddng entry to the United States, saui the U.S. refugee processing system implemented in the Soviet Union this past year is working well in that about 95 percent of Soviet Jews seeking refugee status have been granted it so far in 1990. But HIAS officials also note that hundred of thousands of Soviet Jews would like to emigrate to the United States, but cannot for the foreseeable future because of the 50,000 ceiling. Of the 40,000 Soviet Jews to enter the United States during the 1991 fiscal year, nearly 20,000 already have been interviewed by the Justice Depsrtment's Immigration and Naturalization Service. Priority is being given to thoee witii in»TnwMst<* family in the United States, said Deborah Mark, special assistant to the executive director of HIAS, Karl Zokerman.

But to facilitate the^ process, Soviet families here should pay in advance for their relatives' airplane tickets, because there is a shortage of tickets available in rubles, the Soviet currency, Mark explained. Another benefit to teiying tickets here is that there is a 25 percent discount offered by airlines flying from the Soviet Union for tickets purchased in dollars. By prepaying tickets, -families also will not have to take out U.S. government loans to pay for. transportation, which would theoretically free up U.S. refugee funds that could be spent on resettling them once thqr arrive in the United States, Mark said. ZukeMian said HIAS is not soaking to open an office in the Soviet Union and will rely instead on contacts with U.S. immigration officials, periodic staff visita anid telephone hookups to Soviet Jews.

Maccabi vs. Lakers BytvmTagimi LOS ANGELES (JTA) —Tbe bigger and mora experienced Los Angeles Lakers defeated a smaller and quicker Maccabi Tel Aviv team 129-106 in an exhibition game here before an enthusiastic sellout crowd of close to 17,000. Maccabi coach Tsvika She^ said that he was proud of his team and that the game had given his players valuable experience. "Don't forget who we were playing against," he said. "It is the dream of every player in ' the world to go up against the Lakers" who won five wbrid champkmships in tbe lOSOf. Lakers coach Mike Dunleavy, making his own debut with the Lakers, said his players had to remain meirtally tough to beat Maccabi. The game was played under the Euro-

pean sone'to-zone rules, not allowed in the National Baakatball Association, and Dunleavy said his team had devoted a day-and-a-half practicing its zone defense. The game, billed as "A Courtship of Nations," was the climax of Maccabi's five-day stay in Los Angeles, although the public relations aspects of the visit were never forgotten and at times smothered the sports event itself. The hoopla before the game and at halftime induded 100 flag^arriers, hundreds of young dancers from Jewish day schools, a bevy of Lakers girls in skintight tmiforms, popular Israeli vocalist Ofra Haza singing "Hatikvah," and statements by ConsulGeneral Ran Ronen and other dignitaries.

It's kind of like wondering where the last drop of water etope when it rains or when this fall wind bknra the gorgeous red and ydlow leaves from the tree, how far can one leaf go.

Robber caught By Hugh Orgel TEL AVIV (JTA> The police announced that they finally nabbed the "motorcycle baixlit" who robbed 22 banks in the Td Aviv area during the past 18 months, and whoee modus operandi included firing one ahot into the air after suocenfoDy ooD^ileting a heist. No one was ever hurt. The suspect was arrested at his home, a ranch-style vflla in the Td Gsnim section of Ramat Gan, an upper middleclass suburb of Tel Aviv. Police obtained a court order barring publication of the suspect's name or photograph, but according to the news media, he is the S7-year<dd son of a directs of a major company ^o livee with his wife and two children in a InxuriaQS boms. " : The picture of affluence may dissipate the popular image of a modem Robin Hood that somdiow became attached to the bank thief, although there was no evidence ^t he shared his loot with the poor.

The image was orw of dash and daring. According to police, the suspect rode a iwl Suzuki motorcycle on which he made spectacular getaways after roblmig a bank. He netted an estimated $400,000 from his 22 bank heists. . Invariably, he wore a black cyclist's helmet which concealed most of his face, but female tellers who handed him the cash at gunpoint remembered he had "nice blue eyes" and was always polite. More recently, the thief rode a Uack bflce leading police to think he had done a paint job. But indeed the suspect owned tffo, and a black Motoguzxi was found in his garage with the red SusukL FIRE AT MOSHAV By Hugh OrgelN(-i.i TEL AVIV (JTA) - A field and bmsh fire destroyed part of Moahav Ahihud in weeten OalDee.

By CM—dr> Fraemaa TORONTO (JTA)-Victor Ootrovsky, whose tellall book about Israd's secret intelUgence agency Mossad is cuiroitly No. 1 on the New York Times beet seller list, encountered a hostile studio audience here at the taping of his i^tpearance on a Canadian Television talk show. - He also traded invectives with former Mossad chief Iser Harel and an Israeli journalist, who accused him of Ijing and breach of trust from the CTV atudio in Jerusalem. The Canadian-bom Ostrovsky, author of "By Yfay of Deception: The Making and Unmaking of a Mossad Officer," served as a Mossad case officer for 18 months io the 1980s. He and his co-author, CMiadi>n news columnist Claire Hoy, are guests on CTV's "Shirty Show" to be broadcast this week. Emotions ran high at the taping, where the writer was shouted down by members of the au-

dience. When he accused Mossad of giving the Isradi government false information about Arab intentions, an ol<ter man io the audience called him a "thief" who "abused the trust of Mosaad." Harel, whose own book, "The House on Garibaldi Street," is an account of Mossad's 1960 kidnapping of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in Buenos Aires, accused Ostrovsky of having a criminal past. "Only a truly wkked villain could have fabricated lies of this kind," Harel said, rsferring to allegati(ms of nefarious activities by Mossad in OstrovslQr's best seller. Hirsh Goodman, former military correspondent of the Jerusalem Post, called the author a "damn good liar" who began to believe his lies. According to Sunday's New York Times Bocdc Review, Ostrovsky's book is first on the list of nonfictkm best sellvs and has been xm the list for the past four weeks.

Synagogues in Israel: a link to the past During a rec«it visit to Israel, the synagogue and its relationship to family hiat<»y became a voul point of my tr^ My first Shabbat in Jerusalem begtti at the Great Synagogue, directly across the street Ihim the Sheraton naaa Hotel. I was overwhelmed with the beauty of the architecture and the feeling of spiritual doseness which I had experienced in Madrid. Fw family historians, Beth HatefiitMh, The Museum of the Disi^xva located on the campus of Td Aviv University, represents a unique opportunity to exidore their roots on many levds tfarou^ tlw exhibits, films of community life, photo coUections, computer databases and archival nuterial. I was particulariy interested and moved by the "Gates of Faith" which contain exquisitely crafted scale modda of the exterios and interiors of famous synagogues &t»n the second century synagogue of Sardis in Turic«y to the ultra-modertt Beth Shdem Synagogue in Elkins Park, Pa. designed by Frank Uoyd Wright. Other modds refumented the synagogue in Chodrow, USSR (foqneriy Poland); the "Altneusdiul" in Ptague; the Tempio Israditico in Florence, Italy; the Touro Synagogue in Newport, RI; the synsgogue of Ale(qx>, Raul's study room in Worms, the Great Synagogue of Amsterdam with 613 lamps. The song, "Adoo 01am," is heard in the background in 12 different Ashkenazi, Sqihaidi and Oriottal versions whidi accompany you during the exhibit tour. In the gift shop at Beth Hatefutsoth, you can Durchase postcard r^cas of the synagogue. Also avaflable is The Synagogue, by Geoffi«y Wigoder (1986), and a beautifully illustrated 1988 publication, "Beth Hatefutsoth: The First Tm Years," which indudee severd photos of the synagogue mtidds. My tour guide, Gil Peretz, who undoubtedly'was "the best in all of Israel," took me to the Ohl City with our first stop hi the Jewish Quarter at the Sqihaidi synagoguee known as the R Y.B.Z. Center, reconstructed and rebuflt on a nationd levd following the ^-Day Way in 1967.7oday, Uie synagogues provide religious services oa weekdays, Shabbat and festivals and are maintained by the Jerusalem Sephardi CoondL

This historic cento- together with the nearby Sephardi Edncationd Center is dsstined to be a vast project for the preservation of Sephardi Jewish heritage and culture. The R. Y.B.Z. is composisd of the Great Synagogue of Jerusalem, the EUyahni Hanavi Synagogue, the Istambouli Synagogue and The Ha'emtud Synagogue. The extendve on-dte indoctrination and history was provided by Aiyeh Grayevsky who is weO versed in the history of the Jewish Quarter and the four synagogues in particular. As he mesmerized me wiUi his stories and knowlecke, I fdt torn between craitinukig the scheduled tour and remaining at the synagogues. Family histories can be found in many synagogues such 88 the Italian Synagogue at 27 HiUd Street, Jerusalem, which has severd genedogies in its Nahon Cdlection. As a family historian, I spend condderable amount of time m bookstores, particularly those with enticing copies of outof-print books. Someapedd "fbds" were because of the detoxoined efforts of Mrs. Shitzky at Bet Hilld Books, 4 Hill Street in Jerusdem. One morning iriiiU wdting fw nr)r guide, I walked out of the Sheraton Plaza just to get a head start on a beautiful September day in Jerusdem. Right across the street was a small used bookstore and I went in to check its stock of Yidcor (memorid) books, of which there several A vidt to J. Robinson & Co. Bookseller, 31 Nachlat Benyamin St., Td Aviv, was a "must" as Mr. Robinson is well known as a course of out-of-print Judaica and particularly difficult to locate Yizkor books. On the shdves are thousands of books. When I requested books about synagogues, he sdected Synagogues in Poland and Their Dastraetiea by David Davidowicz (Mosad Harav Kook/Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, 1990), The Synagogues of Italy(1964) and The Synagogues of North Africa (1974), both by Jacob Pinkerfidd (Bidek Institute, Jnusalem). Tliere are many other good references for synagogues and their history including Synagogues of Europe, by Card Krinsky; The Old Synagognea of Turkey, by Don A.
