The dedication of the Frederic Mann Auditorium in the new Tel Aviv Cultural Center was a signal for jubila- tion and celebration, for emphasis on the spiritual values which are so vital to Israel's existence. The concert itself was a great demonstration of Is- rael's determined will not only to be strong on the battle- field—in the young State's defense against invaders and hostile neighbors — but also to continue the ancient He- playing the Beethoven Con- braic cultural traditions that certo No. 5 with the orchestra. are emphasized in the prophetic admonition; "not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord.

When we finish to build the Sukka, I go to buy Arba Minim (the four Species): Lulav, willow branches, myrtle twigs and cit- ron. It is a mitzvah (precept) to buy a fine Etrog of a good sort.

Gregor Piatigorsky was to have played; but he was prevented from coming to Israel by an emergency operation. Tortelier was invited at his suggestion and he made the trip on 24 hours' notice. He enchanted his audience with his cello accom- paniment to Bloch's Schelomo. Piatigorsky could not have chosen a better substitute. the 2,560 chairs for this audi- torium. Yaakov Rechter, of Tel Aviv, architect of the Tel Aviv Center, went to Grand Rapids earlier this year to design the riser-type chairs. These self-ris- ing seats, specially made full- upholstered, are of black cairo twisted loop. The arm rest is made of natural finished wood. The iron standards are of cast iron and are orange colored. Interestingly enough, the American Seating Co. also sup- plied the seats for the 20th Cen- tury Fox Theater that is open- ing this Tuesday in Tel Aviv. The Grand Rapids firm provided 1708 full upholstered padded backs for self-rising seats and 210 full upholstered seats with spring backs. Because of the duty involved, the paddings for the theater chairs were done in Is- rael. .
