Dr. Harry M. TeItelb>aoni is joining the Bnei Akiva Yeshivot. Or Chaim on Alriiore Avenue, and Ulpanat Orot on Bathurst Street, as principal of the general studies department. He comes to Toronto from Atlanta; Ga., where he was assistant headmaster and one of the _ founders of the Harry H. Epstein school.

Also, joining the staff, as Jassistant principal at the Ulpanat, Is Rabbi EUezer Flnkelman, who for the past four years has been director of dormitory for women at Stern College, as well as a lecturer in English at the YeshiVa University.
It shows what you can do if you really want to. That's what Alan Snow says about the $1,200 tennis scholarship that is taking hini to Bowling Green State University this fall. The 19-year-oId Community Hebrew Academy graduate is embarking on a fouriyear science
course at the Ohio university, thanks to his mastery on the courts. It was sheer determination and perseverence that got him up at 6 a.m. everyday. That way he could get in an hour's tennis practice before checking in for school classes that ran from 8:30 a.m; to 5:30 p.m. A serious player since he was 1$. Alan has played in matches throughout the province. The scholarship will enable: him to pursue a bachelor of science degree (majoring in biology) while playing for the university's team ill inter-college tournaments.
According to Rabbi Yitzchok Neger,
the way to coihbat the effects of the missionary activities of religious cults, both here and in the U.S., is by launching an intensive education campaign for bur uncommitted youth, that j$ why he will be spending'the next two weeks in hometown Toronto meeting with Orthodox rabbinical .educational and community leaders to map out an extensive plan tp enable young Jewish Canadians to receive such an education. The rabbi is at present a graduate student at Ner Israel Rabbinical College in Baltimore where he was ordained.

All those who find the answer to tranquility through Valium and Librium can give thanks to a remarkable Jewish scientist. The man responsible for the development of the; widely-used tranquilizers is Dr. Leo Henrlck Stembach, a Polish-born graduate of Cracow University who fled to Switzerland in advance of the Hitle^ takeover of his country. He was engaged by Hoffman-Laroche pharmaceiitical company there and eventually transferred to the New Jersey laboratory where he developed Valium.:The patents were registered in his name but he turned, the profits (about a ha|f a billion dollars) over to the company in gratitude to them for saving the lives of his family. Now retired, he serves as a consultant to drug companies.
Nutritious Is worth extra effort
a XT)
bGn appetit
By MARCIA KRETZMER
JERUSALEM —
As we are dedicated consumers of muesli in our faniily, we are often forced to go to considerable lengths to track down the ingredients we require to make this nourishing dish.
Muesli is a balanced meal made from unrefined grains, seeds, nuts, and raw and dried fruits. It is eaten with milk and sweetened with honey or brown sugar.
Some of these items find their way into the supermarkets and open-air markets, and some are available in small specialty arid imported food stores. Healthrfood stores, as they are known" in the West, are a comparatively recent addition to the Israeli scene. The places I have seen and heard about, are by and large ruii by people who know the job.
As yet. the market seems to have resisted non-specialists, who tr\' to foist on to an unsuspecting public, the same processed foods that can be
found in any supermarket, but masquerading behind a pretentious name and fancy price-tag.
The principal disadvantage of some of the places which do exist, is the unfortunate assump-tiori that "natural and unrefined" means that normal standards of care in storage, handling and refrigeration, can goby the board.
It takes a long time to track down Wiesel's bakery. The bakery, which makes some of the most delicious whole-grain bread in Israel, lies on a circuitous rout c through Neve Zvi. a strictly religious Jerusalem neighborhood.
Alighting from the bus, you have to ask your way until you come to a large, crumbling building in a blirid alley. In thje dilapidated doorway, a notice requests modest dress. The elderly woman, with a tightly-pinned headscarf and black stockings, sweeping the stairs, turns out to be Mrs. Wiesel, who with her husband runs the bakery- and sells
uestions about [iyah
Question: Wliat are the most difficult adjustments riew immigrants must make in' Israel? Answer: Each new immigrant undergoes different adjustment, periods when he arriveis in Israel. But probably there are two major areas of adjiist-ment w:hich are universal to ail new immigrants: social arid cultural. For new immigrants who have left family and friends, probably one of the most important aspects of a successful absorption is acquiring hew friends and feeling a sense of belonging in a community.
Having to undergo many initial changes with the support of friends can make a vast difference between a happy and unhappy adjustmient to a new enVironrnent. For that reason the initial period at an absorption.' centre or hostel can be important. It is a time when the immigrant can meet with others in the same situation.
That, is also a good reason to become members of the Association of Americans and Caiiadians in Israel (AACI). through which a good many social and cultural events are sponsored.
Probably the most important tool in cultural absorption is the knowledge of the Hebrew language. It helps the immi-gjrant communicate better and come closer to his environment. Without the kriowledge of Hebrew; m an y things may be closed to the immigrant. For that reason, it is advisable that ulpan be taken during the fir^t few months in Israel, if not before the imriiigrant comes to Israel.-
The most important thing is preparation. If the immigxant realizes that he
will confront these changes he will be able to adjust to the reality better. New immigrants must keep the following in mind: when they go on aliyah they will be undergoing some oT the most dramatic changes in a life-. time — a new language, job, apartment, environment, lifestyle.
Most of these changes, occur during the first few months in Israel. Witji proper knowledge, understanding and preparation these new changes can become riot only easier to cope with, but can be transformed into experiences \yhich will pave the w'ay for a successful and happy aliyah and absorption.
If you have a question pertaining to aliyah, submit it to Israel Aliyah Centre. 788 Mariee. Toronto.

Mrs. Wiesel is a fount of advice for people suffering a range of health complaints. Some of the best family doctors_.and pediatricians in Jerusalem send patients to her for special diets.
All the baked goods are made with exacting attention to both nutritional and religious principles. The noodles I purchased were not dnly declared to be free from any preservatives or additives, but also to have been tithed according to the law, arid to be free from produce harvested during the seventh agricultural year, when fields and orchards must lie fallow. ■ * ♦ .. ♦
At the other end of the scale is a recently-opened health food store Ha-Ada-mah — the Earth — in
central, downtown Jerusalem. Ha-Adartiah has a wide range of foods sold in a somewhat chaotic boutique-like atmosphere by a wisecracking business team: Eliahu Avital, a former organic farmer from a kibbutz in the Upper Galilee, and Eddie Abadi, a New York-born, English-educated, Panamanian businessman and —Israeli hotelier, who is trying life here for the third time — the first was as a volunteer back in the 1948 War of Independence.

lem's : Mahane Yehuda market combines cottage simplicity and charm with a real Jerusalem flavor.
Here are two of my favorite muesli combinations, one simple, the other more complicated. Whichever you choose, I should warn you of my uhfortunate_ejcperience when a member of a cooperative daycare centre in Toronto, some years back.
After campaigning for an end to nutrition-less "noshing", I was put in charge of mid-morning snacks for the- toddlers' section. The delicious muesli I prepared, consumed with generous amounts of milk and honey, was'a great success — until the children's digestive systems rebelled against all that roughage. When 35 children went down with runny tummies, 1 was swiftly demoted from my post by a group of outraged parents. My advice, after this unfortunate episode, would be to use the muesli with caution at first, preferably as a top-" ping for the chopped, fresh fruit.
