    Phoenix Area Homes Include the Circular David Wright House (1952), 5212 East Exeter Blvd., Designed for His Son in North Phoenix (1950), and the H.C

    CITY REPORT (Iraq) Opera House (never built), serves as a distinguished gateway to the Tempe campus of Arizona State University. Its president at the time, Grady Gammage, was a good friend of the architect. Wright’s First Christian Church (designed in 1948/built posthumously by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in 1973), 6750 N. Seventh Ave., incorporates desert masonry, as in Taliesin West, and features distinctive spires. Wright’s ten distinguished Phoenix area homes include the circular David Wright House (1952), 5212 East Exeter Blvd., designed for his son in north Phoenix (1950), and the H.C. Price House (1954), 7211 N. Tatum Blvd., with its graceful combination of concrete block, steel and copper in a foothills setting. Wright’s approach continued through his pupils, such as Albert Chase McArthur, who is generally credited with the design of the spectacular Arizona Biltmore Hotel (1928), 24th St. and Missouri Ave. Wright’s influence on the building is clear in both massing and details, including the distinctive concrete Biltmore Blocks, cast onsite to an Emry Kopta design. The hotel was Foundation. Photo by Lara Corcoran, courtesy Frank Lloyd Wright restored after a fire in 1973, and additions were built in 1975 and 1979. Blaine Drake was another student who, with Alden Dow, designed the original Phoenix Art Museum, Theater and Library Complex and East Wing (1959, 1965), 1625 N.

The inaugural meeting was held in the Binyanei Ha'umah in the presence of the President of the State and Mrs. Shazar, the Prime Minister, the Speaker of the Knesset, Cabinet Ministers, the Chief Justice, Judges of the Supreme Court, the State Comptroller, visitors from abroad, public dignitaries and a large and representative gathering which filled the entire hall. The meeting was opened by Mr. Jacob Tsur, Chair- man of the Zionist General Council, who paid homage to Israel's Nobel Prize Laureate, the writer S.Y, Agnon, and read the message Mr. Agnon had sent to the gathering. Mr. Tsur also congratulated the poetess and writer, Nellie Zaks. The speaker then went on to discuss the gravity of the time for both the State of Israel and the Zionist Move- ment, and called upon citizens in this country and Zionists throughout the world to stand shoulder to shoulder to over- come the crisis. Professor Andre Chouraqui, Deputy Mayor of the City of Jerusalem, welcomed the delegates on behalf of the City.

To Wright, this material was a highly expressive, decorative, and practical approach to create monumental yet affordable buildings. Indeed, some of his most iconic structures, including the Ennis House in Los Angeles, utilized the textile block system. However, like so many of Wright’s experiments with materials and engineering, textile block has posed major challenges to generations of building owners, architects, and conservators who have struggled with the system’s material and structural performance.

Only bread made from the five grains (wheat, barley, spelt, oats and rye) is prohibited since these are chashuv8 and will bring one to come close to non-Jews.9 Rice bread and corn bread are excluded from the gezeira.10 In addition, any other grains which are not part of the five grains mentioned above are also excluded from the gezeira.11 If an item which is not included in the gezeira is mixed with an item which is included one should follow the rov (majority) of the ingredients.12 2.

Every action must accord with Torah principles. Torah law dictates which shoe one should put on first.1 There are also various laws relating to the bathroom.2 The Torah also teaches not only that one must pray three times a day, but also that the three prayers must each be recited during their respective specific time periods, as laid out by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.3 With this in mind, it should come as no surprise that the Torah regulates what a Jew may eat and drink. Upon completing one of its renditions of the Jewish dietary laws, the Torah states that Jews have an obligation ‘‘to distinguish,’’ or ‘‘l’havdil’’ (in the original Hebrew) ‘‘between the contaminated and the pure, and between the animal that may eaten and the animal that may not be eaten.’’4 Rashi5 explains that the obligation goes beyond merely reading through the Torah passages that discuss these laws; rather one must learn the laws until he knows them, recognizes them, and is an expert in them.6 It is with this in mind that I now begin to scratch the surface of the Jewish dietary laws.

A feasibility study was imder- taken, and was completed in September, 1977- The company conducting the study determined that the site location and cost of the site was not excessive for a project of the scope we had planned. The problem was in the room rate structure. Historically Carlsbad has had low guest room rates relative to the industry as a whole, and the region in particular. The recommendation was to delay or postpone construction plans until testing the market with significantly higher rates. The motel operators in Carlsbad have since raised their rates considerably since 1977f and based on the feasibility study's figures, I believe the project is feasible now. This project is significant to me because of the feasi­ bility of the project now, because there is a good possibility that the project might actually be constructed from the design I generate in Thesis studio, or at least based on my design.

Its really hard to believe that another year has passed and the Rosh Hashanah issue of Telfed Magazine is at the press. We've had a great summer, nice weather, plenty of action and are sure that you are all looking forward to what Autumn and Winter will bring in this beautiful, and certainly not boring country of ours. There is still no place like "home" for a great holiday. Carol and I have just returned from six glorious days at a magnificent Game Park near Richard's Bay, called Phinda situated in Zululand. Great accommodation, game drives, bush dinners and no TV, telephones (cellular or otherwise!!!) to drive you crazy. Only the peace and quiet of the African bush. For those of you who have forgotten what the bush is like, I hope that the above will bring back a few memories. To quote from one of the comments in the guest book, "You can keep the rest of the world just give me the African bush." Nu, how about it???? Anyone thinking of that special trip to Africa is invited to call Ilan (Kessel Jr.) who will be happy to plan your trip. Brenda Miller left today for another of those wonderful trips to Russia.
