Police suspect arson in fire
that razes Philadelphia center
by Lisa Hostein
Exponent staff reporter
PHILADELPHIA (JTA)—The
police and fire departments are
continuing their investigations ol a
fire, Dec. 12, suspected to be arson,
that virtually destroyed the entire
inside of a four-story building that
served as a multi-service center for
over 500 elderly Jews. The early
morning blaze that ripped through
the South Philadelphia Senior Center
may have destroyed a central lifeline
for the elderly Jews, but it did not
destroy their spirit.
“We are like the Israelites dispersed
and, like them, we shall find our
new home,” declared 70-year-old
Sophie Flexer, one of the many
residents of this once thriving Jewish
neighborhood who took full ad
vantage of the programs provided
by the center. These included a
subsidized hot lunch program, a
management services program, social
activities, clubs, classes and outings.
“Yes, we are going to rebuild;
they can’t keep us down,” said
Nathan Greenberg, 72. Rose Levin,
who is 72 years old and wheelchair-
bound, said; "I participated in
everything” at the center, “and I
will at a new place. One thing 1
learned at the center was there is no
such thing as can’t.”
“This is the gutsiest group of
people." said Frances Kleiner, director
of the center. “They are just amazing;
they are not written off. There is a
piece of Jewish history in that
building; many ot these people’s
children went toschoolthere. Damn
those who started that fire. But
we’ll do somethingto get this place
started again for these people.”
“For most of these people, the
center was like a second home,”
said David Friedman, public relations
director of the Jewish Community
Centers. “It was a reason to get up
in the morning.”
While there is not yet any word
on rebuilding the heavily damaged
center, the Federation of Jewish
Agencies of Greater Philadelphia
is responding to the crisis by resuming
emergency operations and a hot
lunch program at the Mt. Sinai-
Daroff Division of the Albert Einstein
Medical Center, accordingto Samuel
Sorin, Jewish Community Center
executive director.
The temporary services being
provided at Einstein are due to the
generosity of Steven Levitsky, director
of the facility, “who graciously
responded to our request for space,”
said Sorin. “Similar offers from
the Jewish Family and Children’s
Agency and Federation day care
services proved that the Jewish
community is quick to respond in
times of crisis,” he said.
Both Sorin and Federation of
Jewish Agencies president, Bennett
Aaron, praised the responsiveness
of the Federation agencies. “I am
greatly impressed by the tremendous
cooperation exhibited by all the
agencies in our Federation family,”
said Aaron, adding that the staff
and leadership of both the JCC
and Jewish Employment and
Vocational Service merit special
thanks for their dedication to meeting
the needs of their clients.
Travel agent held for conspiring
to smuggle explosives to PLO
NEWARK (JTA)—An Egyptian-
born travel agency owner living in
Jersey City was arrested there by
U.S. Customs agents Dec. 18 on
charges of conspiring to smuggle
150 pounds of explosives to a member
of the PLO in the West Bank. The
suspect, Sultan Ibrahim El Gawli,
a 47-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen
and owner of the Sultan Travel
Agency, was scheduled to be arraigned

in Federal Court here on charges
of murder for hire, dealing in
explosives, and exportation without
a license, and the conspiracy charges,
accordingto a U.S. Customs spokes
person, Michael Kaufman.
Kaufman said that Gawli attempted
to buy 150 pounds of C-4 explosives,
produced in the United States for
military purposes, plus 100 blasting

devices with a 500-yard range, for
$25,000, and a gun with a silencer
for $1,500.
A co-conspirator planned to put
the explosives and gun in his luggage,
take them on a flight out of the
U.S. and then smuggle them to the
West Bank and deliver them to
another conspirator who “represented
himself as a PLO representative,”
Kaufman said. The goods, he added,
did not change hands, however.
Art Stiffel, a special customs
agent, charged that the conspirators’
plan was to have the explosives
arrive in Israel seven to 10 days
before Christmas.
