An Israeli Army chaplain will fly to Cairo at the end of the week to officiate at a special seder service for nine Israeli army personnel in the Tahara Palace in Heliopolis, a suburb of the Egyptian capital. The Israelis are a skeleton staff left behind when the joint Israeli-Egyptian military committee talks were suspended last January. Col. Eliezer Rimon, head of the Israeli mission in Cairo, will be the ranking officer at the seder. Israeli aircraft are flying in Passover foods, wines and table equipment.
