The Channuka lights have burnt out but their afterglow remains in modern deeds of various kinds. South African, Mendel Kaplan has been named Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Jewish Agency. Beit Protea wins through realms of bureaucratic red tape. New regional committees have been formed. The winter sports season has begun with South Africans active in all fields. Winter is also the time for walking and we invite you to get your family together, put on your walking boots and set off in the footsteps of the Maccabiim. The calender year ends with a period of consolidation for the Telfed Offices. Just on 1000 olim arrived in 1987. (in 1986 there were 635 olim and 254 came in 1985.) Continued success is envisaged for 1988.
