Knesset Speaker Shevah Weiss as one of the most important assemblies in the history of the nation. Indeed, the warnings of apocalypse from those opposing as well as supporting the peace agreement lent credence to WeissVclaim.
1 All 120 members of the Knesset were being allowed to speak before the vote.
One by one, Knesset members against the agreement said the government had no right to gamble oh IsraeTs future with a partner that has been committed to Israers destruction.
The PLO, they said, will be unable to control Palestinian extremists violently opposed to the accord in the short term and will not honor the territorial limits negotiated with Israel in the term.

When Rabin informed the Knesset that the vote would be considered a Vote of confidence in his government, he formally put Shas on notice, that opposing the agreement would spell the end of the party's coalition alliance with Labor and Meretz. '
Shas, for its part, has called for a referendum on the peace agreement within six months — but only if all of the opposition parties back that call.
But the referendum idea appeared to be a non-starter, since neither Likud nor Labor exhibited much enthusiasm for it;

Frimer will display new originals and give a slide presentation with a commentary on "Cultural Survival" for the Western Association of Holocaust Survivor-Families and Friends.
The group's fifth annual gatherings open to the entire community, will be held at Chabad Centre on Sunday, Oct. 24, 11:30 a.m.
During the brunch, Frimer will discuss her viiew of Jewish cultural survival which she describes as "the struggles and pain of oppression, the attempt to strip our people of their belief system, their spirituality, genocide and the determination to survive."

Primer's series is a combination of paintings and photographs glued into the artwork. The photos are from different periods of time, many focusing on the H olocaust, with a view to the "dedication and sahctifi-cation of life."
The Holocaust is a predominant theme in the paintings, the 46-year-old artist told because it is important to stress to Survivors that the next generation "bears witness for them and honors their dignity." She reinforced: "We want them to know that we will remeniber them."
Mixed in with the Shoah themes are symbols of imagery of life represented thrbugh nature. Frimer says that awe for nature signifies a "return to reyereiice of G-d and dignity of life"
