Era

Communist satellite countries soon emerged near and far. In
Africa and South Africa, using readily available Russian aid,
additional Communist regimes were set up. The greatest victory
was achieved in China, where Mao Tse-tung set up a
dictatorship conforming to all of the tenets of Communism.

been cracked by Professor Sheintoch of the Department of
Yiddish Language and Literature in Hebrew University's
Institute for Jewish Studies.
Observations: Greeting Tourists with a Smile
by D. Berger
During these days of intifadah the country is not exactly
overflowing with tourists, to put it mildly. The images of the
Holy Land as they appear around the world on the evening news
fail to tempt tourists to leave their safe, serene home
countries and descend into the middle of the maelstrom of
shooting and bloodshed, which they imagine to be the daily
fare in Israel. Nevertheless tourists can be found here and
there, some of them warm- hearted Jews who come to offer their
support and encouragement.
