Fisher as "a good Jewish project which benefits everyone."
The plan; which takes in 10 small communities in seven European c<Nintries, is the first of its kind and is being treated as a pilot scheme with the hope that in the future more communities may be helped.
Each community has been given the opportunity to ask for a range of books on Jewish tc^ics of varying degrees of interest in a number of different languages, and on average about 150 books have bieen dispatched to  each community.
While the main language of«the books is English, followed by French, German, Spanish and Italian, each community has received in addition eight Hebrew bocks and two in Yiddish.
The scheme has been funded by the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture, and takes in West Germanty, Gibraltar/Greece, Holland, Ireland, Italy and Luxembourg.
It has been administered by Dr. Stephen Uotti, of the institute of Jewish Affairs, and Michael May, of the World Jewish Congress. JCNS.

tms COLUMN deals with three new books on Israel which have appeared in the last little while. They are testimony to the cen-trality of that country not only for Jewish people but for the international community.
The most disturbing of the three is Alvin Rosenfeld's "The Plot to Destroy Israel" (Putnam). The author, a journalist from New York, has sifted, with commendable diligence, the myriad statements made by Arabs abbut the ultimate disappearance of Israel from the map of the Middle East.
Particularly troubling in Rosenfeld's account is the way in which Muslim religious thought has been drafted into the service oi Arab war aims. Sadat and others continue to take isolated passages from the Koran which describe Jews in unflattering terms and inflate them to major pronunciameiltos' on Jews and Judaism.
THE AUTHOR also points out that the propaganda which the Arabs circulate in western languages is quite different from the volatile materials they distribute internally.
In the latter type no distinction is drawn between Jew and Israeli and the aim of the destruction of Israel is not masked -as it is in literature sent to North America. , This volume is also particularly useful for the way it documents the insidious role of the Arab boycott in the United States and the methods used to blackmail American firms. 'Tros^isa book for every con-
ON A COMPLETELY different leivei but nonetheless fascinating is Meron Benevisti's VJerusal^m the Torn City" (Minnesota). I have had the pleasure of knowijrigBeh^ visti. -Almost 2d[ yearis ago he serv^ is my giude during a youthful domicile in Jerusalem. I remember him thien as a scholarly and supremely knowledgeable person on matters re-latinjg to the hist6i*y of .Israel.
His book,on Jerusalem should, in no way be looked tipon as another of those guide books. On the contrary it is a serious historical and political account of the city of Jerusalem with a special focus on the events wluch occurred after the Six Day War in 1967.
Benevisti was then an official of the Jerusalem municipality and deputy mayor to Teddy Kollek.

BUENOS AIRES ~ Many Argentine Jews are hailing the building of an Agiidat Israel yeshiva in Buenos Aires as the religious and educational highlight of the year.
Representatives of Jiewish organizations and the community together with Dr. Mario Bravo, of the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cults, and members of the public, attended the groundbreaking ceremony on the yeshiva site.
The nine-storey building, which is expected to be ready by 1970, will have room for 300 students, including 120 boarders who will receive training as rabbis, sho-chetim, mcrfielim and teachers for communities in Latin -America.
Itwill be built near "Hechal Hatorah," Agudat Israel's educational centre, housing a kindergarten and elementary and secondary schools, in Buenos Aires.
Argentina's. Jewish community numbers about 500,000.

Significant New Book Reviewed by Dr. Ages, Professor of Romance Languages and Literature, University of Waterloo.
JERUSALEM — OLD AND NEW
He was given the very difficult job of integrating the Arab inhabitants of the Old City into the greater Jerusalem entity.
His book describes the very real prdblenis he faced; First there was (and this remains to this day) tiie implacable hostility of the Arabs, who feel that aiiy accomodation with Israel implies their acceptance: of^ the Israeli "conquest."
'Second, Benevisti speaks of the opposition by Jerusalem's Jewish community' who felt that he had gone too far in placating the Arabs. At one point a member of the Knesset called for Behevisti's arrest and trial as a traitor. Solid reading throughout.
Neville J. Mahdel's "The Arabs and Zionisih Before World War One" (California University Press) is a work of scholarship that merits perusing because of the importance of the author's
thesis — namely, that the Turks and the Arabs both opposed Zionism from its very inception.
The author suggests that the issuance of .the Balfour Declaration in 1917 was merely the watershed in Arab reactions to the idea of a Jewish State but not the beginning.
