Launch New Israel Cargo Ship in France

r

Israel's newest cargo ship, the 7,200 deadweight ton M/S
HADAR, slides gracefully into the waters of the Loire River at
Nantes, France, where she and three sisterships are under
construction for operation by the Zim Israel Navigation Co. Ltd.
The HADAR was launched on June 20th by Mrs. Louis Ludwig,
wife of the Vice President of the Ampal-American Israel Corp.
of New York City which is financing the four ships for Israel
When the HADAR joins the Zim fleet some time next Sep-
tember, she will be No. 48 in that company's fast-growing flotilla.
Zim will operate her in the Great Lakes-Israel trade on a
20 year charter from Ampal. The other ships of this class,
ETROG, YAFFO and ESHKOL, will be delivered later this year
and early in 1964. Also building in France for the Zim Lines
are the 23,000 gross ton luxury passenger liner SHALOM and
three 9,300 ton freighters for Zim's Gold Star Line service
between the Far East and West Africa.

American Jewish Archives at Hebrew College Records
Biography of Prodigy Concert Pianist Fanny Zeisler

When the little girl of 12
walked out on the concert stage
to make her first public appear-
ance in Chicago, the audience
gasped in amazement. How could
one so young play the difficult
"Andante Favori" with the au-
gust Beethoven Society orches-
tra? But after she had finished
the difficult piano concerto, the
same audience rose as one man
to give her a standing ovation
and cries of "bravo" resounded
through the hall.
The girl was Fanny Bloomfield
Zeisler who rocketed to fame
and beCame an internationally
known concert pianist. The
American Jewish Archives, on
the Cincinnati compus of the
Hebrew Union College - Jewish
Institute of Religion, calls atten-
tion to the fact that the 100th
anniversary of the birth of this
gifted and intelligent woman will
be celebrated in 1963.
Born July 16, 1863, in Aus-
trian Silesia, the young daugh-
ter of Salomon and Bertha
Bhunenfield, Fanny Bloom-
field Zeisler was a cousin of
Moritz Rosenthal, the famous
pianist and pupil of Liszt. Her
father emigrated to America
in 1866, and the next year his
wife and three children joined
him. After a brief stay in Ap-
pleton, Wisconsin, the family
established permanent resi-
dence in Chicago. There Fanny
received her first piano in-
struction from her brother,
Maurice Bloomfield. Maurice
later achieved fame, not in the
field of music, but as head of
the department of Sanskrit and
Philosophy at Johns Hopkins
University.
When Fanny was 10, she began
systematic training under Carl
Wolfsohn, a fine musician, who
established the Beethoven Society
in Chicago. She soon became his
most famous pupil, and he helped
arrange an American tour for
her in 1877. A year later, when
Fanny was 15, she went to Vi-
enna to study under Leschetizky.
After five years of intensive
work, she was ready to give her
first full-length concert in Chi-
cago's old Hershey Hall. That
same year she played with the
New York Orchestra under the
baton of Frank B. Van Der
Stucker.
Having achieved kudos in this
country, she made her first
European tour. For the next two
years, she toured the capitals of
Europe and, wherever she
played, won great triumphs.
Even the severe German music
critics conceded her faultless
technique, her energy and depth
of feeling. The greatest feather
in her cap was the coveted invi-
tation to play at the Lower
Rhine Music Festival in Cologne.
Meanwhile, she had married
Siegmund Zeisler, a prominent
Chicago attorney, whom she
bore three sons. Zeisler was
one of the lawyers defending
the anarchists in the famous
Haymarket Riot case of 1886.
Throughout their married life,
her husband maintained a rare
appreciation of her art and
her career.
