Meanwhile the National Joint Community' Relations Committee, under the signature of Pearlson, has sent a letter of complaint to the Soviet ambassador in Ottawa.
The Canadian Jewish' community wishes to express its profound concern over the gradual shift of the Soviet government from its traditional opposition to the tragic implications of anti-Semitism to its quiet acceptance and now to an active stimulation of bigotry,' the letter read in part.
In his remarks to The' Canadian Jewish News, Lobanov said The Sword of David is directed against "the most militant circles of Zionists in the West who are trying to establish some kind of Jewish unity . in spite of their (class) differences."

Super-Sol stores mark 20th anniversary help
TEL AVIV —
the first stores in Israel to have Israeli-made corn flakes, granola, free-flowing salt and frozen pizza and blintzcs are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year.
They're all part of the Super-Sol supermarket chain, the pioneers in the mass marketing of food in this country.
Super-Sol is headed by Yosef Geva, a man who is proud of the 33 stores in the highly-successful operation.
In order for the firm to remain in the forefront of the strongly competitive business. Geva has spearheaded the formation of a
number of subsidiaries, which include the Hanetz import and export company and Katif. a vegetable and fruit produce wholesaler.
Super-Sol is also getting into the organization of a building and development company which will buy property for supermarket sites.
However. Geva said this acquisition of land isn't really as simple as it might appear to be. He said in Canada and the U.S. the price of real estate drops when you get outside the major cities. But. in Israel the price of land outside the big cities is about the same. In fact, Geva said in some areas. like Herzliva,
the land is even more expensive than the land in Tel Aviv, Because of this expense. Super-Sol may encounter some difficulty in going ahead with its ex-
pansion program of four stores a year.
Many of the appro.x-imately 1.400 shareholders of the company arc from Canada and the U.S.
and the North Americans, like their Israeli countcr-part.s. have left ajl profits within Super-Spl for re-investmeiit in business expansion.

scholarship in local university Jewish studies programs.- Findings in certain sensitive areas, especially , those dealing with political concerns; will remain in the exclusive possession of JCRI. The cost of the survey, according to JCRl director Jack Kantorwitz. is approximately S45.000.. "The community, greatly concerned about expenditure of funds,'! he,said,-"might consider this to be high, but the cost for a comparable study any-vvhere else in Canada would be at least a third more."
Until JCRI began its work on the survey. Montreal was one of the few
large Jewish communities which had not undertaken a major study of its demographic and sociological make-up.
The one question the JCRI survey will not be able to answer in precise terms is how,many Jewish residents have left the . province in the past two years. "The kind of information we will gather," explained Kantorwitz, "is what kind of Jewish professionals are presently living in Montreal and what their future plans are. The data will reveal the intentions of Jewish young people between 18-25 whether to stay or leave. But we have no ac-cura:te figure of what the Jewish population; of Mon-. treal was two years ago."
TEL AVIV [JTA] —
Some 30,000 Israelis, many of them new immigrants from . the Soviet Union, came to the open air amphitheatre at a Tel Aviv park to express their" solidarity with the struggle of Soviet Jews and to listen to Premier Menachem Begin call on all Western nations to bovcottthe Moscow Olympics in 1980.
Supporting the call of British Foreign Minister David Owen to consider a ' boycott of the Olympics and to transfer the games , to the West. Begin said a
country that throws idealists into prison does not deserve the honor of holding the Olympics on its territory.
Begin called on the Soviet government to allow Soviet Jews to emigrate to Israel and to cease its policy of depriving prospective immigrants of the right to work. "You shall not succeed in eliminating the renewed Zionist movement in Russia." Begin declared. "You will bring on yourself difficulties if you continue to maltreat our people. Let my people, go to the Jewish state and
free the Prisoners of Zion."
He also called on Jewish youth the world over not to rest and not to remain quiet but demonstrate wherever there is a Soviet Embassy or Mission "in the name of the Human Rights Charter and the Helsinki Declaration," •Begin devoted part of his address to greet Israel Zalmanson in the audience. Zalmanson, whojar-rived in Israel earlierThis^ month, spent eight years in Soviet jails fallowing the first Leningrad trial in 1970.
JERUSALEM [JTA] —
Egyptian architects will be arriving in Jerusalem in coming weeks to initiate the planning of renovations in the Al Aksa mosque in the Old City.
This was revealed by Egyptian Deputy Prime Minister Hassan Tohamy in a letter received today by Jerusalem Mayor, Teddy Kollek. He wrote that' the architects are now completing their plans for the establishment of an additional prayer stall in the mosque. Tohamy added that the joint Israeli-Egyptian venture in renovating the mosque- points to a breakthrough in "the barriers of darkness which existed in the past in establishing, coexistence of the nations in the region."
In response, Kollek said the Egyptians will be welcome guests in the capital and the rtiunicipality will do all it can to assist them, . in accordance with its policy to develop holy sites in Jerusalem.

He said it was unjust to compare the booklet with Nazi or Czarist ones of a similar nature. "All these comparisons are invented to blackmail the Soviet Union and its pplicies," he said, noting Jews were not the target of organized discrimination.
"Soviet .citizens are generally not anti-Semitic. I don't see anti-Semitism anywhere in my country, though you may find single cases of it. as in Canada and the United States.':.„
Lobanov said the booklet "is based on facts."
Referring to the paragraph on the Talmud, he said: "If you have time to check, you'll find such advice to Jews...It seems that'the Talmud is anti-Semitic, if there is such advice."
He said The Sword of David may have been pub-
lished without the knowledge or approval of state officials. He said the No-vosti Press Agency Publishing House is not financially dependent on the government and thus it can. theoretically, publish books on its own initiative, Lobanov suggested.
