"I am concerned only as an American citizen. I believe that the Israeli people, living in Israeli are the ones that have to make the decisions. It is really too early for us to draw any conclusions on the annexation of the Golan Heights. I don't think anyone in this country can candidly make a statement for the Israeli people and the Israeli government, just as I don't believe anyone who is not an American citizen, living in America can really make a statement about the American government decisions.

THE RHODE ISLA ND HERALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1981 -13 In Pursuit Of A Double Dream Building Ta/may Yoset Twice by Joan Silbers.tein TALMAY YOSEF, Israel - In the 1970's, following the Yom Kippur War, Israelis by the thousands went down into the Sinai Desert to build new kibbutzim, moshavim, and an entire city called Yamit. They were there to pursue a double dream. The national one of securing the Israeli-Egypt border with a civilian presence. The private one of owning a home, living on the land , building an intimately forged com munity from the ground up . One such group created Talmay Yosef, an agricultural moshav within sight of the Egyptian border. They were teachers, salesman, lab technicians, artists, welders, sociologists. Most under the age of 30, nearly all parents of very young children. None had ever farmed before. Nor had they ever lived in the desert. Abi Shatz is one of them, at 40, the senior citizen of his moshav. He is a man con sumed, driven, of Zionist background, so attached to the land of Israel that to uproot him from it would be to kill him. In 1978 he, his wife Phillipa, and their children im migrated to Israel and joined the newly budding community of Talmay Yosef. Together with 28 families, they lived in a hostile climate where sun can scorch a t 110 degrees and frost can not only ruin delicate mangoes but also kill the trees that bear them . They fought back with faith and modern technology in a region where water is so scarce it has prevented large-scale settle- Benjamin Shatz, 11 years old, and his sister Danielle, age 8, at the new settlement.of Ta/may Yosef In Israel's Negev Desert.
