NEW YORK, (JTA) — Fif-
teen young followers of the
Bratzlaver Rebbe, all of them
from Brooklyn, are en route to
the Soviet Union to pray at the
grave of the Rebbe, in Uman,
Ukrainia, where he was buried
after his death in 1811. The
group, led by Rabbi Zvi Aron
Rosenfeld, was given Soviet
visas permitting the young Has-
sidim to spend four hours in
Uman.
Nahum ben Simchah of Bratz-
lay was the great grandson of
Israel Baal Shem Toy, founder
of Hassidism, and lived in Bratz-
lay. He was the author of many
of the tales centered about the
teachings of the Baal Shem
Tov. After his death, many Has-
sidim refused to recognize any
other Rebbe, continuing to wor-
ship in the name of the Bratz-
laver and making pilgrimages
to the grave of their teacher.
The 15, who left New York
by plane, were to change air-
craft at Moscow for Kiev,
whence they would go by bus
to Uman. After their visit to
Uman, they were scheduled to
go to Israel for five days. Ac-
cording to word received by
the Brooklyn Hassidim from a
descendant of the Brazlaver
still living in Ulman, the Bratz-
laver's original tombstone was
destroyed during World War II,
but the site has been traced
and a new monument erected
there.

Doris Faber's 'Behind Headlines' Describes the Role of Newspapers

As a reporter for the New
York Times, Doris Faber has
acquired an experience and the
basic training that qualifies her
very well to tell the story of
newspapers, and she does it
ably in "Behind the Headlines,"
a dramatic account written for
teen-agers, published by Pan-
theon Books (22 E. 51st, NY22).

It is so dramatic a story about
the role of editors, correspond-
ents and reporters that its in-
formative nature makes it a
genuine textbook for boys and

girls who may aspire to work on
newspapers.

She begins her story by re-
lating how the N. Y. Times' ex-
pert, the scholarly William L.

Laurence, was called into a
private conference, with Arthur
Hays Sulzberger, the newspa-
per's publisher, by Maj. Gen.
Leslie R. Groves, in 1945, to
begin preparing the story of the
atom bomb.
