Inbal, Dance Theater of Is-
rael, will appear at the Masonic
Temple at
8:20 p.m., Sat-
ur d a y, Nov.
21. The com-
pany of 30
dancers, sing-
ers and musi-
cians will be
presented by
S. Hurok, un-
der the aus-
pices of- the
American- Dahlia Kubani
Israel Cultural Foundation, in
35 U.S. and Canadian cities.
The company, under the di-
rection; of Sara Levi-Tanai,
made its American debut in
1958 and so captivated critics
and audiences in Detroit and
other cities that its Broadway
run had to be extended, and
cities across the continent peti-
tioned Hurok to bring the com-
pany back.
Inbal was organized by Miss
Levi-Tanai shortly after Israel
became an independent state. It
consisted of Yemenites who had
migrated to Israel from the
Southwestern corner of the
Arabian peninsula.
The Yemenites are now vir-
tually completely repatriated in
Israel, and Inbal has taken this
accumulatpd treasure of unique
folklore and looked beyond it
to synthesize this ancient Jew-
ish -dance form with the aspira-
tions, of present-day Israel.
The music for the program
has been arranged by five out-.
standing I s r a.e 1 i composers,
Mordechai Seter, Paul Ben-.
Haim, Gary Bartini, Alexander
Uriah Boscovich and. Menahem
Avidom.
The sets were designed by
Arnon Adar, one of the fore-
most stage designers in Israel.
The leading dancers include
Mar gali th Oved, Hadassa
Bedoch, Dahlia Kubani and
Yehuda Cohen.
It takes 7,000 pounds of paint
to cover Paris' 984-foot high
Eiffel Tower. The tower is
painted every seven years.

Editor, The Jewish News:
What a Jewish individual
does on the Sabbath is his

on Saturdays is our business.
