Israel's National Theater "Habimah" has no luck. After , many years of troubles and worries, before the Israeli Government has accorded the theater the status of a National Theater and assisted it in building a new, 10 mil lion pounds modern tmll, Habimah faces newdifficultieSi First, some of their managers were accused of misusing funds. They were arrested and released on bail until their trial. Second, a new crisis developed when artists strongly criticized the new manager, the famous journalist Gabriel Zif-roni.
* ♦ *
The first three performances in the new theater were a flop. The public did not attend; the hall was empty. During the summer a play by the Israeli author Benzion Tamar,'' Friend tell about Jimmy" (a play about the period of the Palmach and the British mandate in Eretz Israel) was staged. The director was an immigrant froni Rumania, Roda Miran, who did not know the period and failed. The play had to be stopped upon the demand of the author and now the Israeli director Yosef Milo, is expected to take over the preparation for
its rerun.
* * ♦
After the failure of the first three performances, the art director of the Habimah, David William from London, left Israel and the theater remained without an artistic leader. The manager, Gabriel Zilroni, became part time art director until the artists of the theater revolted against this system "jKl demanded that the famous artist, Shimon Finkel, become the new art director. Finkel was manager of Habimah years ago. Zifroni has published a statement in which he said the internal intrigues among the artists have caused the new uproar
in the theater.
* * *
Now Zifroni is iU and the Minister of Culture, Yigal Alon who is chairman of the Public Committee for the' Habimah, waits until the manager recuperates in order to solve the new crisis in our national theater.
r TJtei^famOus'siiicer, Rich-" ard Tucker, now- is visiting Israel. He took part in a music festival in Beethoven's
9th Symphony.
* * *
When the last concert of the IsraeliPhilharmonic Orchestra ended this season in . the Mann Auditorium in Tel
Aviv; Richard Tucker got up and led a choir of 300 men, when the Orchestra played " Hatikva'' under the conductor Zubin Mehta. Never was such "Hatikva" heard in Israel.
■ * >■ * On the New Month Sabbath (Shabat RoshChodeslj), Tucker visited the Wailing WaU; it was the Yahrzeifof his father. The Mayor of Jerusalem, Teddy KoUek, had a surprise for Mm. He ordered the opening of the ancient synagogue of Yohanan Ben Zakai in the Old City~to let Tucker pray in it. In this synagogue, no prayers were recited since the Jordanian army captured the Old City in 1948. Stones and sand were removed quickly from the synagogue. A Tor ah scroll was brought in, and Tucker conducted services there. Before leaving the country, Tucker gave a concert for wounded Israeli soldiers at the "Assaf Harofe" hospital in Sarafand.

The late Izik Manger would have to be grateful to the deputy editor of the Israeli newspaper, "Maariv", Shalom Rosenfeld, who made his words popular and even initiated the award of an annual prize in the name of Manger. The funds were contributed by Meyer Weisgal President Zalman Shazar is chairman of the Prize Committee.
Unfortunately such Yiddish and Hebrew writers as Shol-em Ash and Zalman Shneur have not found such sponsors as Rosenfeld.
The second Manger performance on the Israeli stage, "Chumesh Lieder" has taken place in the Mann Auditorium in Tel Aviv under the patronage of Premier Golda
Religious school registration
The 1970/71 school year opened with registration on Sunday, September 13, between 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. at Shaare Tefillah, Bathurst Street south of Wilson. All parents are urgently requested to send in their registration forms now or phone Mrs. Erika Erdos, chairman of the School Committee, at 787-0527 for forms and information.
Classes will start on Sun-; day, September 20, at 10:00 a.m. The School is open for registration for children of both members and non-members.
Meir. The leading theater e]q>erts in Israel prepared the performance. ShmuelBu-nim, who had directed the musical "Megilla", was reappointed, DubiSelzer wrote the musiG;*Chaim Refer wrote the Hebrew version of the play; and Gila Shakiii was in charge of decorations. The producer, Abraham Desche-Pashanel invested a lot of money into the performance. The best Hebrew and Yiddish artists took part. .* * ■ *
All the .same, the Israeli press voiced some criticism about the play. It said that if such a play is to be successful, it should be performed in a small hall with a suitable atmosphere. The Sudden death of the famous Habima actor, Shraga Fried-mann, was badly felt. He should have played the role of Abraham. He died just before the last general performance of the play and his role was filled in by Gideon Singer, who had only a few days to study it. Singer does not speaJc Yiddish and had to study especially the language. One could sense it. Nehama Lifshitz as Mother Sarah had a small role. She did not
impress the audience.
* * *
The two young artists and singers, Rivka Zohar and Giora Rabinowitz, performed well. Zohar played magnificently as Hagar. The young artist Gadi Yagil is very talented but he was not quite the same in the parts of Adam and Jacob. He played well as Jacob but not so well as Adam. Another young artist, Pupik Arnon had only little to do on the stage as one of the three angels. One could feel that both young Hebrew artists do not speak Yiddish and had only learned
their parts in that language.
* * ♦
The roles of two angels were very well rendered by the two Yiddish singers and artists, Misha Nathan and Ina Teper. One could see immediately that they are Yiddish artists and master, the Yiddish language perfectly.
* * *
In general the Israeli press praised the performance, stressing however that not aU artists were up to standard. The theater critic of "Maariv", Moshe Ben Shaul asked, where is the Bur-steiris from Manger's "The Megilla"? Why were not members of this family asked to play the parts of Abraham, Sarah, Adam and Jacob in the new play? They could have certainly contributed a lotto
its success.
* * *
One thing is certain. For such ai Yiddisbplayonly Yiddish actors should be engaged. We stress this fact, though we know that all the Hebrew actors did their best to secure the success of- the play.
It is hoped, that tbe play "Chumesh Lieder" will at last score the same success as tbe "Megilla", es-peciaUy when the Hebrew artists will acquire perfection in their acting in Yiddish and tbe Israeli audience will not feel that Israeli sabras perform on the stage in Yiddish.

A visit toDominionTravel Office, one of Canada's oldest and largest agencies, gives further confirmation to the tremendous increase in travel to Israel. According to Murray Heifetz and Allan Webber, co-owners of this busy agency, 1969 traffic to Israel had exceeded all expectations and so far, in 1970, even better results are looked for. This remarkabiea-chievement in tourism was reached, they say, despite the constant threat of war, the daily border skirmi$hes and the occasional bombing incident.
Normally, a nation, beset. i with the kind of problems ; facing Israel today suffers ia disastrous drop in tourist revenue. Asked why the exact reverse was true about Is-raelj Mr. Heiftz, president of Dominion Travel Office said:
: '•'.First was the introduction of low airfares. Non-affinity group and special excursion fares have virtually reduced normal fares by 50% in most cases and have completely replaced charter rates now abolished.
* The total Israelj package that is now so popular and which includes air fare, hotels, some meals anda comprehensive sightseeing tour, compares most favorably in relation to a holiday spent elsewhere.
* The "Six Day War" seems to have given many Jews a deeper sense of participation. They want to be part of the'scene'.
* They go to Old^Jeru-salem and the Wailing Wall and to see the f new territories". \ \
* The Israeli Government has followed a strong and continuous policy of, highly concentrated tourist promotion with excellent results.
"■Some credit must be given to the fine effort ^expended by organizations such~ as synagogues,- Zionist Organization of Canada and manyrothers and to the strong community leadership that is playing an'important role in
encouraging a vis it to Israel.
* High quality tours, conducted by government train-' ed guides, excellent hotels and fine all round tour facilities makes for a sm^th and satisfying travel experience. A satisfied customer returns and brings his friends.
* Other factors such as the . increase of trade between our
country and Israel results in further business traffic. Pec^le are visiting relatives
and children who have settled in Israel. Others have become part of a new trend — buying an apartment or Condominium and spending the winter months in the sunny climate. Finally the Israel Government would very much like you to cash in your bonds and spend your money in Israel rather than wait for. maturity. In many cases this has been a strong factor in the decision to visit Israel • "
PRESIDENT OF KENYA CONGREGATION
Nairobi, (JCNS). - Arthur Levinson has been reelected President of the Hebrew Congregation here.
Rabbi Jacob EUituv, the minister, has opened children's classes in Hebrew, Jewish religion and history.
CIRCULATION OF WARSAW YIDDISH PAPER
London, (JCNS). - Following the emigration of some 12,000 Polish Jews since the 1967 Six-Day War when Poland opened its antisemitic campaign, Folks-Sztyme, the Warsaw Yiddish newspaper, reports a circulation of no
more than 300 with a mostly elderly readership, writes a special JCNS correspondent.
. This is revealed in a four-part series about Poland by Eric Kuby published in Stern, the Hamburg illustrated weekly.
According to Samuel Ten-nenblatt, the editor, Folkis-Sztymie recently moved to a new building in the center of Warsaw and it is a "fuUy secular" publication.
It is issued with the approval of the Cultural and Social Association of Jews in Poland and it receives from tbe State "a little better support than other newspapers".
Mr. Tennenblatt told Mr. Kuby that the situation in Poland in 1967 "was not easy for the Jews, but now it is aU over. There is no antisemitism among the Polish intelligentsia and Polish youth".
However, Mr. Kuby felt that the outbreak of Polish antisemitism had caused not only "endless misforhme" to Jews, but also "very great damage to the prestige" of Polani
Reporting on a Sunday spent at the site of Auschwitz concentration camp, where millions of Jews were murdered during the Second World War, Mr. Kuby said that it was marked as a "two-star" attraction in the Polish travel guides.
Thousands of Poles visited the place of horror, but even that grim visual lesson may not have been sufficient ta prevent a resurgence of thg "dangerous lunacy" of anti^ Semitic hysteria.
DEPUTY CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE TO WELCOME POPE
Sydney, (JCNS). - Mr. Ash-er Joel, a Member of the New South Wales Legislative Council, has been appointed deputy chairman of a committee formed to welcome Pope Paul to Australia in November.
Stressing pleasure "as a member of the JeWishfaith" at bis appointment, he said that the Opoe's visit was a major ecumenical occasion" for Australia.
Mr. Joel was chairman of the citizens committee which organized the bicentenary celebrations earlier this year of the landing of Captain Cook on Australia's east coast Chief Rabbi Jakobo=-vits is to visit Australia in November.
