Two Israel diplomats paid their respects today to the memory of Baruch Spinoza. The Israel Minister to Holland, Dr. Ezra Yoran, and the Israel Ambassador to Paris, Jacob Tsur, saw the Spinoza home, now a Dutch national shrine in this country, and a plaque honoring the Jewish philosopher which was placed in a new church here. Later they visited the home of his family at Rijnsburg, near Leylen.
