800 Hardy Souls Enjoy Evening
of Jewish Music -at Adas Shalom
There hasn't been a com-
munity gathering in recent
weeks that could begin any
other way than . . .
Despite the bad weather.
With that thought in mind,
any report on the Adas Shalom
Synagogue ninth annual Festi-
val would be incomplete with-
out stating that despite the bad
weather, a crowd of upwards of
800 people heard one of the
finest concerts in that series of
yearly events.
The program was particularly
inspiring in the solo work of two
of the principal artists, Paul
Olefsky and Marjorie Gordon..
Olefsky, of course. is the bril-
liant solo cellist with the De-
troit Symphony Orchestra. who,
with good reason, is one of the
most sought after musicians in
the city today.
Especially enthralling was
his rendition of Kol Nidre, an
instrumental version of the
Yom Kippur cantorial chant,
which was played for the first
time in Detroit. He was sup-
ported by the Adas Shalom
Symphony Ensemble, which,
under the direction of Zinovi
Bistritzky was especially ef-
fective in a medley called Has-
sidic Impressions.
Mrs. Gordon, a soprano who,
as of late has come to the atten-
tion of communal organizations,
displayed a fine range and beau-
tiful colorations in Meyerbeer's
Shadow Song. Her other rendi-
tions. above all. the Yiddish folk
song Nigun, also were well re-
ceived.
Young Henry Shevitz. who
was featured as a soloist with
the symphony ensemble in Men-
delsohn's Concerto No. 1—the
andante and presto movements
—showed himself a capable
young artist.
A most interesting portion of
the evening was a series of dra-
matic readings by Gertrude
Strauss. which reached a climax
when the Adas Shalom Choir
joined at the conclusion of her
presentation with Lewandow-
sky's Hallelujah.
Much credit for the enjoy-
ment of the concert goes to
Cantor Nicholas Fenakel, who
was its producer, as he has
' been for all nine years. His
own contribution of two solo
numbers, his own composi-
tion, R'tzeh, and Bik's Ada-
mah, added to the pleasurable
evening.
The cantor teamed with Mrs.
Gordon in another Fenakel com-
position. Haneros Halalu, which
was done exceedingly well by
the two capable performers.
The festival closed with the
choir and ensemble. directed by
Shirnon Gewirtz with two He-
brew melodies that featured Ta-
mara Ackerman and Richard
Bloom as soloists; Naomi Klein
on the cello and Sanford Finkel.

Ben Baskin, owner and op-
erator of Baskin Drug. an-
nounced this week that 20,000
area residents will receive
Michigan Family Prescription

The plan will enable families
to save nearly 40 per cent on

chases at the drug store. Per-
sons who have large annual
prescription purchases will
profit most from the plan,
Baskin said. Families who do
not receive the certificate
through the mail may still
enroll at the store. 18910 W.
