Israelis, their acceptance of the responsibilities of nationhood
and their fine appreciation- of
. music.
Her 37 concerts in Israel were
of three kinds—those presented
in. the cities, at Israeli Army
encampments and in the colonies.
Of the city concerts, six were
with the Israel Symphony, under
the direction of Leonard Bern-
stein.
"Israel listens to music," Mrs.
Schaver declared. She praised
the Israelis' cosmopolitan attitude
toward music, their appreciation
of operatic arias and other class-
ical numbers, as well as of the
Jewish and Hebrew selections
which are her specialty. She em-
phasized the colonists' apprecia-
tion of good music, pointing out
that they collect good recordings
and make a practice of studying
musical works and their compos-
ers before hearing them in con-
cert.
DP Songs in Israel
Two years ago, Mrs. Schaver
toured the . DP camps in Europe,
the first American Jewish artist
to bring cultural relief to the
displaced Jews. She returned
from that trip with a collection
of songs which grew up in the
ghettos and concentration camps
of Hitler's Europe, and has in-
cluded them in all of her re-
citals since that time. Although
audiences in this country and in
South America, where she tour-
ed last year, had a fine apprecia-
tiOn for these DP songs, it was
not until she sang them in Israel
that she felt a really complete
audience reaction, Mrs. Schaver
said.
Strangely enough, it was not
the recent immigrants from Eu-
rope who felt the impact of these
songs, but the Sabras, the Pales-
tinian-born youths who make
up the backbone of the colonies
and the Israel army, in whom she
found deepest understanding of
the music's historical meaning.
Praises Israeli Youth
Mrs. Schaver's praise of the
Sabras was extensive. "There are
no Jewish youths anywhere who
can feel as deeply the importance
of this hour in Jewish history, or
who want to give as much of
themselves to contribute to its
success," she stated.
One aspect of Mrs. Schaver's
trip which moved her strongly
was her continual reunion with
men and women whom she had
Met in the DP camps, who now
have responsible positions in the
Israeli economy and government.
She mentioned particularly .,the
members of the Central Com-
mittee of Liberated Jews who are
now occupying such key positions
as the leader of the medical di-
vision of the Israel Army and
the head of one of the large Tel
Aviv hospitals.
"While there are some who
have found haven in. Israel who
expect the Jewish community to
continue supporting them," she
reported, "many more are en-
gaged in constructive work and•
are once more leading dignified
lives of their own."
New Music from Israel
Mrs. Schaver was away from
this country six months. She spent
three Months in Israel and three

in Europe, where she gave re-
citals in Paris and Belgium. Her
husband, Morris L. Schaver, ac-
companied her for three months.
Composers in Israel showered her
with new music which she
brought. back with her to be
combed for possible concert ma-
terial.
Her plans are indefinite. In the
immediate future she will be oc-
cupied with personal affairs and
the consideration of the new
Israeli music: In the future, how-
ever, she hopes to return to the
Jewish - state for a long visit, per-
haps, eventually, to reside per-
manently.
"While I love America and -ap-
preciate the opportunities it has
offered me. I find in Israel a
great sense of personal well-being
a feeling of wholeness and a re-
laxation from the tensions of liv-
ing in this country," she de-
clared."
Welcomed By Community
The Detroit Jewish community,
which is intensely proud of her
accomplishments, welcomed Mrs.
Schaver back at a receptioji Wed-
nesday evening at the Shaarey
Zedek, sponsore&by the Culture
Commission of the Jewish Com-
munity Council. Among those
who greeted her officially were
Herbert Hordes, who was a stu-
dent at the Haifa Technion while
Mrs. Schaver was in Israel.
Mrs. Rebecca Sanders was
chairman of the reception, which
was featured by instrumental
music by Jacob Becker, cellist of

with Rebecca Frohman as accom-
panist. Hostesses included
Mesdames Calvin Prady, Norman
Cantor, David Colman, . David
