American Professionals Building
Industrial Villiage In Israel
A new moshav (cooperative
settlement) is rising in the rolling
hills of Gush Etzion, south of
Jerusalem, a community not only
physically new, but representing a
bold and challenging departure
from earlier settlement patterns in
Israel.
The moshav is being based on
industry and services, not
agriculture, and constitutes one of
the first of the new Industrial
Villages being introduced in Israel.
Life on the moshav offers a unique
'opportunity to pioneer a new
settlement experience using
professional and industrial skills
and talents.
The moshav, named “Elazar"
after the legendary Maccabee
brother who battled for religious
freedom in those very hills, 2138
years ago was conceived and is be
ing settled by Garin Yachdav, a
group of young American, Cana
dian and Israeli Torah-observant
families. The Garin meets regular
ly in the USA, Canada and Israel
to plan the structure and function
of Elazar.
It has been determined that the
settlement will be supported by
manufacturing and service enter
prises which will be financed large
ly by the Israeli government and

loans and grants. Among the
enterprises under development are:
computerized photo-typesetting;
consulting in computer software;
manufacture of artistic necdlecraft
materials; medical, social work
and psychological services units;
research, development and
manufacture of emulsions and inks
for the textiles printing industry; a
photographic developing
laboratory and engineering con
sulting for the construction in
dustry.
Garin Yachdav plans a structure
of cooperative living at Elazar
which will respect individual rights
and prerogatives while providing
many of the special benefits of
moshav life, such as economic
security, low cost housing, and
ownership shares in a group of
companies. Above all, the moshav
members are looking forward to
an active community life, infused
with the spirit of traditional Jewish
values.
Elazar, due to be completed in
late I975, represents an investment
of millions of dollars in develop
ment and construction by the
World Zionist Organization. The
first phase includes 40 homes
(ultimately 100), arranged around
a community center which will in
clude: a synagogue mikveh, store,
meeting hall, offices, medical
clinic, kindergarten, nursery, and
sports facilities. The homes, each
on one eighth acre of land, have
been designed on a scale and to a
standard which meets the needs of
Western olim. Most of the families
will immigrate to Israel in the
summer and fall of I975, with
some arriving in Israel the follow
ing year. The Garin families will
reside in an Absorption Center un
til the Moshav is completed.
The members of Garin Yachdav
come from many different walks
of life. One, a captain in the
United States Air Force living to
day in an area of Texas remote
from a traditional Jewish environ
ment, looks forward with his wife
and children to a life in Israel in a
Terrorism Step-Up; Rockets Hit Jerusalem
Bomb Victim Dies
JERUSALEM, (JTA) —
Yaacob Beja, a 37-year-old
father of three, died at Shaare
Zedek Hospital Mon. morning of
burns he suffered when terrorist
bombs exploded in the stairwell of
his apartment building on Hebron
Road in southwest Jerusalem early
yesterday morning. Beja was leav
ing for work at 7 a m. when he
spotted suspicious looking can-
nisters in tkjc stairwell and was
about to return to his flat to call
the police when they exploded. He
was a partner in a book-binding
business a few minutes walk from
his home. He immigrated to Israel
from Egypt in 1948.
a telephone cable. No injuries were
reported.
Seconds later, a second
Katyusha rocket whistled over the
city but apparently landed in an
open field. Police were unable to
find the spent shell. Police believe
that at least one of the rockets had
been aimed at the Knesset
building
(In Damascus, a terrorist
group called the Popular Struggle
Front, claimed responsibility for
the apartment house bombs.)
Police rounded up scores of
Arabs seen in the vicinity of the
building at the time of the explo
sion but most were released after
questioning. The bombs consisting
of several cannisters of explosives,
were planted in the building short
ly before 7 a.m. An unidentified
person carrying cans was
reporteldy seen entering the
building at about that time.
Terrorists have planted bombs
in Jerusalem apartment buildings
several times in recent months but
in each instance the lethal devices
were discovered and dismantled
before they exploded. The bombs
planted May 4 were apparently
timed to'detonate within minutes
after they were placed in the
building.
Arab Diplomats Attend
Speakers Attack Jews
At Right-Wing Dinner
Another victim of the explosion,
Mrs. Geula Zartzi, 28, remained in
the hospital Monday for treatment
for less serious burns. Police
meanwhile are holding 30 suspects
out of 100 Arabs who were detain
ed for questioning Sunday in the
vicinity of the explosion. Security
forces are also searching for the
perpetrators in East Jerusalem and
on the West Bank
The latest terrorist assault came
a little more than 24 hours after
terrorists fired two Katyusha
rocket shells into West Jerusalem
early Saturday. At about 4 a.m.
local time, one shell burst in the
vicinity of the Hebrew University
shattering windows in a nearby
apartment building and uprooting
community rich in Jewish values.
Another member is today an elec
trical engineer, one of the founders
of the Garin, who left his
birthplace in Israel years ago to
seek advanced training in the
United States. He and his family
are now about to return home.
A Canadian fourth-year medical
student and his wife have recently
joined Yachdav.

Garin Yachdav reports that
applications are still being
accepted, especially from those ex

persons, including about 150
Congressmen, that it would be a
“no holds barred" discussion of
the Middle East situation. “No
longer can a self-chosen establish
ment elite of minority warmongers
be allowed to control successive
administrations and systematically
destroy the U. S. republic and its
economy,” the invitation said.

A few bought the publications.
Advance expectations that many
retired military officers would at
tend did not materialize. Most of
those present appeared to be af
filiated with groups such as Liber
ty Lobby and their guests. Homer
Brett Jr., a retired navy com
mander, introduced the principals
and leading guests. When he came
to the half-dozen Egyptians sitting
as a group, he identified them as
from the Egyptian Embassy and
apologized for not naming them
because the Embassy did not have
their names. He asked them to rise
to applause.
Besides the Lebanese envoy and
the Egyptians Brett introduced

Gen, A C. Wedemyer, 77,

the event but he was not present.
He was reported as having said he
joined the committee because per
sons he respected had already join

the speakers would be David
Lilienthal, former atomic energy
commissioner. Lilienthal,
however, was not scheduled to
speak The scheduled speaker was
Alfred Lilienthal, the well-known
anti-Zionist.
