Premier Menachem Begin will conduct a special “oneg shabbat” meal for the entire Israeli delegation at Camp David, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency has learned. The Friday evening “oneg shabbat” will feature all the traditional items: Hebrew songs and prayers, lighting of the two candles, wine from the Holy Land and, yes–gefilte fish. The idea for such an evening, it was learned, was the Premier’s. (By Yitzhak Rabi)
