Center Day Camp
Stresses Judaism

Jewish experiences and con-
tent designed to help children
develop positive attitudes and
appreciation of Jewish culture
is an integral part of the pro-
gram planned for this summer's
Jewihs Center Day Camp.
Daily activities will frequent-
ly include Israeli dancing, He-
brew songs, discussions and
painting murals.
Special programs will include
an Oneg Shabat to close each
week of camp on Friday after-
noon. Plans are being made for
a biblical puppet show, celebra-
tions of the birthdays of Hertzel
and Bialik, and presentation
of Israeli movies on rainy days,
visits by Israeli students and
dramatization of biblical stories.
There will be a special cele-
bration of the festival of Tisha
B'Av. Other Jewish and Israeli
themes will be developed by
the units, such as a Maccabiad,
building a model kibbutz, and
learning Hebrew songs and
dances.
A very limited number of va-
cancies remain for children in
both Day Camp periods. For in-
formation and application, call
the Children's Division, DI
1-4200.

Concept East Casting
for Steinhardt's
`A Star in Heaven'

Casting of Detroiter Herschel
S. Steinhardt's new play, "A
Star in Heaven," will continue
at 2 p.m. Sunday at 401 Adams,
it was announced by Woodie
King, director.
The play, which deals with
the theme of the "Sins of the
Fathers," will be premiered
here the latter part of July.
Should the play be considered
favorably by the critics and the
public, it may be taken to New
York.
Steinhardt, 18297 Wooding-
ham, spent many years in New
York City where he worked as
a playwright and public rela-
tions assistant. He is best
known for his play, "Sons of
Men," which was purchased by
Robert Montgomery and pre-
sented over the NBC-TV net-
work with the late Paul Kelly
as the star.
More recently, two of his
plays were presented at the
Wayne State Student Stage,
"God's in His Heaven," and
"The Wind and the Rain."
