nual Music Festival planned by
the Men's Club of Adas Shalom
Synagogue for 8:30 p.m., Sunday,
should be the best yet presented
in that distinguished series.
This week, Cantor Nicholas
Fenakel, who will produce the
entire -production, sing several
solo numbers and join Louis
Haber, the congregation's execu-
tive director, in a number of op-
eratic duets, received the impe -
us for a sterling performance.
The Cantor, who assumed his
duties as the regular cantor of
newly-formed Northwest Hebrew
Congregations (now Adas Shal--
oni) five years ago, received his
papers on Tuesday as a United
States citizen.
His reaction was typical of
every sincere, hard-working and
devoted new American, as he de-
scribed the event as "the happi-
est day in my life."
The Detroit Committee of 300
for the American Jewish Ter-
centenary will meet at 3 p.m.
Sunday at the Detroit Historical
Museum, Woodward and Kirby,
to evaluate the work accom-
plished thus far at numerous
Tercentenary celebrations held
since Sept. 12, when the exhibit

opened at the Museum.
Marking the final day of the
Historical Museum's Tercenten-
, ary exhibit, the meeting will be
utilized to honor Museum lead-
ers through whose efforts the
exhibit was arranged.
Chairmen of all Tercentenary
committees will submit reports
at Sunday's meeting.

Like the series of concerts
he has arranged and the Adas
Shalom Symphony Orchestra
which was formed in good part,
through his effort, getting his
citizenship in America is to
Cantor Fenakel "a dream come
true."
A native. of Hungary, he was
the son of a long and distin-
guished family of cantors -on
both his mother's and father's
side. When he was 19, Cantor
Fenakel won an operatic schol-
arship, studying with the finest
voice teachers in his country.
When he was 24, he sang the
leading role with the Budapest
Opera Co. in the "Barber of Se-
ville." But shortly aftervv-alia his
career was halted, as the Nazis
overran his native land. He was
one of 50 who survived a mov-
ing concentration camp, which
did slave labor throughout all of
Nazi-held Europe.
After the Nazis, the Comniu-
mists overran Hungary, bringing
their stamp of anti-Semitism,
but Cantor Fenakel was allowed
to leave the country to sing at
the wedding of one of the famed
Rothschild family at the Great
Synagogue, Duke's Palace, in
England.
Although, before he left Hun-.
gary, he was told he -must return,
Cantor Fenakel was offered po-
litical asylum in England, and
he was invited to stay on at the
Great Synagogue as its cantor.
It was there that Cantor
