{Open daily 09.00 to 18.00 (Weds + Fri to 13.00) Reaching Out The contributions of former Southern Africans to life in Israel have became legendary in their own time. Dating from the pre-State years until today and encompassing an immense diversity of ﬁelds, from medicine, culture, sport, urban development and business acumen to public service and the establishment of the Israeli Air Force, ex-South Africans and ex-Zimbabweans have been right there in the forefront. This month's cover story deals with one such achievement — the memorial which is to be erected in Jerusalem in May to mark the 40th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany has been designed and sculpted by an ex-South African living on Kibbutz Yizreel. It is with the express intention of chronicling such accomplishments that Telfed is initiating the publication of a compendium on the contributions of ex-South Africans to life in this country. All former Southern Africans are invited to submit material to the compendium, which will serve as an invaluable record of Israel's South African Connection.

8 Tali carries the torch

Tali Elstein, 19-year-old daughter of Shaul and Gila Elstein of Netanya, was recently selected to carry a torch from Modi'in. birthplace of the Maccabees, to six Jewish communities in the United States to launch their Chanukah celebrations.

The Maccabi Hatzair youth movement selects a bearer every year, and the honour for 1984 was bestowed on Tali, currently doing her military service in a Nahal unit. Her whirlwind two- week trip to the U.S. included New York and a ceremony hosted by Mayor Ed Koch; Philadelphia, Chicago, Baltimore, Dallas and New Jersey. Shaul (Solly) came on aliyah from Cape Town in 1957v while Gila (nee Gill Rosin) arrived from Bulawayo three years later. Shaul manufactures food additives in Ashdod.

"Tali, who has been in the army for a year, still has another two to serve." her mother told Telfed. "As part of her service, she is living in Shlomi, a development town, teaching adults to read and write Hebrew and working in the community centres. The programme is called Tehila. The IDF gave her a month's leave to carry the torch to the U.S." A proud momcnl for Tali Elsiein. as she boards iheEiAl aircraft prior to jetting off to the United Stales.

Arab Propaganda — War Machine Supreme There is at large a ruthless machine which is creating havoc with Israel's international image, "buying" world opinion and implanting in millions of people around the globe a grossly distorted picture of alleged Israeli atrocities; that machine goes by the name of Arab propaganda.
