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 AIRPORT TO THE COLONIAL 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.

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.
