ZOA to hear Zimmerman on Israel, American Jewry The Atlanta District of the Zion ist Organization of America will launch a series of luncheon forums for the local community at noon Friday, Sept. 12, at the Atlanta Jewish Community Center on Peachtree. Harriet Zimmerman will speak on “Israel and American Jewry, A Path to the Future?” Mrs. Zimmerman is well known for her outstanding leadership in Jewish and civic organizations. Nationally, she serves as vice chairman of the United Jewish Appeal (USA), is on the national board of the United Israel Appeal and the Joint Distribution Com mittee (Executive Committee), and is a vice president of American- Israel Public Affairs committee (A1PAC). Harriet Zimmerman She recently attended the Jewish Agency Assembly in Jerusalem which centered around the dispute on who determines how the funds raised by Keren Kayesod-USA are spent and administered and “who should have the say: those who raise the funds, so-called non-Zion ists, or those who live in Israel, or all active Zionists.” The discussions were very heated because of lack of mutual understanding compounded by the different forms of decision making style—Israeli vs. American. Mrs. Zimmerman will discuss some of the heat and light stem ming from the critical Assembly of the Jewish leaders from Israel and America. A kosher luncheon will be served at a cost of $4.50. Reservations can be made by calling the ZOA office, 874-3018, or 266-9845, by noon Monday, Sept. 8. The public is invited. Concert turns into a donnybrook by Tamar Levy GENEVA (JTA)—A concert here by a popular Saudi Arabian singer, rescheduled because of a row over the fact it was to take place at a Jewish-owned hotel, degenerated into a drunken brawl between the young Arab spectators. The concert by Mohamed Abdou, with seats priced at $500, was to have been held at the Noga Hilton Hotel. The event was the brainchild of an Egyptian impresario who viewed it as an opportunity to attract the many wealthy tourists from Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf states spending the summer in Geneva. When members of the Saudi royal family staying here learned that the hotel to be used for the concert was owned by Jewish bus inessman Nissim Gaon, they raised objections and the event was trans ferred to the Intercontinental Hotel. Intercontinental officials were only too pleased at the prospect of a fresh source of income to make up for the shortfall of American tour ists this year and Arabs who chose to stay home because of falling oil prices. Their satisfaction was shortlived. Young Kuwaitis attending the con cert after downing a few drinks started a brawl with a group from Saudi Arabia. The concert was quickly transformed into a donny brook, with tables, chairs and glasses flying in all directions. Bodyguards, quickly overwhelmed by the fray, called in police and order was restored at the hotel. Authentic Ethiopian Cuisine Featuring Spicy Lamb, Beef, Chicken and Vegetables.
