JERUSALEM (JTA) — Four 4 g1
hundred yeshiva students
charged with demonstrations in
a Catholic mission courtyard in
Jerusalem last September were
found guilty of criminal tres-
pass. They were sentenced to
fines of 25 pounds ($8.33) to 100
pounds ($33) or jail terms of
three to 15 days, depending on
age.
The court, in imposing sen-
tence, said that even if the stu-
dents were actuated by the
loftiest motives, as had been
contended by their defense at-
torneys, this could not change
that trespass had taken place;

too.
It was at a Purim party, in
fact, that Rabbi Gruskin sug-
gested the Passover luncheon
off the grounds. There had been
sedorim, during previous years,
but the patients had to make do
with paper cups for wine. It
was not home.
Zedakah Club and Young
Women's Bicur Cholem
launched the appeal. "It took
us five minutes to raise the
funds," Mrs. Bookstein recalled.
She had talked to the right
group: the Co-operatiVe Coun-
cil, a League of Jewish Women
affiliate which includes 10 serv-
ice organizations.
Besides the two groups named
above, members of the Co-Op
Council are Rodin Club, Youth
Education L e a gue, Primrose
Benevolent Club, Medical Aid
Society, David Horodoker Wom-
en, Home Relief Society, He-
brew Ladies Aid Society and
Aesculapian Women. One fund
donor was anonymous.
Rabbi Gruskin, who splits
his time between his "congre-
gation" at each hospital (he
even runs kosher dinners up
to Lapeer), hopes the Monday
luncheon will focus attention
on the need for a kosher
"half-way house" for some 50
mental patients reluctant to
leave the security of the hos-
pital grounds.
Mr. and Mrs. Morris Dorn
brought the 20 guests from the
House of Shelter. Mrs. Dorn,
who is president of the women's
organization aiding the House,
cooks all Passover week for the
residents."She's so busy cook-
ing there," Mrs. Bookstein said,
"Mrs. Dorn has to get a house-
keeper to do her own."

A varied program geared to
the cultural aspects of Jewish
music will be featured at the

hood, will feature Cantor David
Bagley and two choirs of near-

Compositions by Bistritzky,

-- Friday, April 3, 1964

The Jewish patients at North-
ville and Ypsilanti state mental
hospitals had been looking for-
ward to the event for weeks, and
when they finally arrived at the
Passover luncheon in their hon-
or, "the tears were streaming
down their faces."
Mrs. Abraham Bookstein, case
chairman for Young Women's
Bicur Cholem, a Detroit service
group, described it as "the most
heartwarming thing I've ever
seen," a kosher Passover meal
at Imperial Caterers Monday.
Planned and executed by
Rabbi Solomon Gruskin, chap-
lain at the two hospitals, the
luncheon was attended by some
150 patients, along with 20
needy men from the House of
Shelter.
"For some of them," Mrs.
Bookstein said, "this was their
first piece of gefilte fish in
years. The tables were set
beautifully — you know, like
home — and everything was
very orderly. You should have
seen those people; they were
eating and crying at the same
time."
Several guests had not been
out of the hospital in decades.
The success of the experiment,
however, has paved the way for
f u t u r e such occasions, Mrs.
Bookstein said.
Entertainment was provided
by two patients — a pianist and
a cone e r t violinist. "People
don't realize how many talented
people we have at the hospitals
— do c t ors, intelligent boys
taken out of high school and
college.
"I work in the Northville gift
shop on Sundays," Mrs. Book-
stein continued, "and I've seen
many patients come down to
the lobby, hoping for a visitor.
No one comes. But now, with
this luncheon, they saw 'You
ladies took the time. Maybe
someone really cares, after all.' "
Actually, there are a num-
ber of groups who "really
