Of Twig Bending and Camp
Future Leaders Sprout in Summer
By CHARLOTTE HYA1%IS
Commitment—Is that what we
hope to encourage among young
Jews? An awareness of their Jew-
ish heritage, their cultural and
spiritual link with Israel and
world Jewry? A feeling of re-
sponsibility for community?
The twig must be bent while it
is still green. Indeed, yes. And
especially in summer, when young
shoots grow rapidly.
After two summers in the field,
furthering interfaith dialogue by
making sit-upons and marshmal-
low sandwiches with my Brownie
colleagues, I was considered old
enough for an intensive Jewish
education: Hebrew school.
Diligence paid off, and seven
years later, I took my first swipe
at that formidable institution,
Hebrew-speaking-summer-camp. A
workshop, they called it.
Its effect on my life? Incalcul-
able. And I came to realize it all
the more when recently I happen-
ed upon my camp journal. Here
are the never-before-published, un-
expurgated memoirs of a 15-year-
old camper at a now-deceased, but
so-well-remembered summer work-
shop:
Dear Diary:
I'm here at last. They put me
in a tent (ohel), but it fell down,
so I'm in a tzrif (that means
cabin). Mother didn't want me
to stay. There's a bee's nest out-
side, so we go in and out very
quietly. I asked why no one gets
rid of it. and they told me in
Israel bees are very important.
Anyway everybody's afraid.

Dear Diary,
Last night the boys raided our
clothes line and strung everything
up on the flag pole. We sing Hatik-
vah there in the mornings, and it
was very embarrassing. Later on,
we worked in the fields like on a
kibbutz but I was transferred to
the mitbach (that's kitchen). To-
night we played a new game: Arabs
and Israelis. Most of us were
Israelis but in the dark we were
sort of all fighting each other.
* *
Dear Diary,
We built a migdal (that's a
watchtower) today. I don't know
exactly what it's for but it's the
tallest one I ever saw. Some-
body said it's to watch for Arabs.
I thought that was very funny,
but nobody else did. I got sick
tonight. About six of us did, so
we couldn't go to the movies.
So we all snuck into the mit-
bach and got oranges and sat
around the tzrif with a candle
and told horror stories. I felt
much better after that.

Dear Diary,
It was visitor's day today.
Auntie brought me a box of can-
dy, but when I told her we share
everything, she took it back. See,
that's middle-class values for you.
Two of the boys serenaded me
with the Palmach fighting song
while I did my laundry tonight. It
was. all very romantic. They asked
me to help them with their laun-
dry. It's not this much fun at
home. Mother always does my
laundry. Diary, I'm glad I'm Jew-
ish.

Beth Yehudah Day Camp
in 18th Summer Season -
MRS. ROBERT ROSENBLUM
In a recent candlelight cere-
mony, Marsha Frances Rothenberg
and Robert Rosenblum repeated
their wedding vows at Temple Isra-
el, with Rabbi M. Robert Syme and
Cantor Harold Orbach officiating.
Parents of the couple are Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Rothenberg of
Santa Barbara Dr.. and Mr. and
Mrs. Oscar Rosenblum of River-
dale, N.Y.
The bride's ivory peau de soie
gown was fashioned with modi-
fied bell skirt, elbow-length
sleeves and a Sabrina neckline.
The bodice was of handcorded
Alencon lace and seed pearls,
and the detachable chapel-length
train was bordered with match-
ing lace and pearl embroidery.
Her headpiece was designed as a
rose appliqued in lace and hand-
sewn seed pearls, attached to a
shoulder-length veil of silk illu-
sion. She carried white sweet-
heart roses, Stephanotis and ivy
on her confirmation Bible.
Beth Yehudah Day Camp is in
its 18th consecutive season with
classes for boys and girls of kinder-
!. garten age through mid-teens.
"A Jewish study program with
Bar Mitzvah instruction is offered,
together with swimming, outings,

of Medical History
Gets Doctor's Medals
Sweet-Stocker Rites
Planned for October
The Museum of Medical History
at Tel Aviv has acquired the med-
als and honors of one of the most-
decorated physicians in history,
largely through the efforts of a
local doctor.
New York surgeon Dr. Harry
Cohen has transferred over 400
awards to the museum, which is
making plans to house his decora-
tions in a special room. The only
Jew ever to receive a medal from
a pope, Dr. Cohen agreed to the
transfer with the encouragement
of Dr. Bernard Weston, Detroit
chairman of the American Physi-
cians Fellowship for the Israel
Medical Association.
Detroiter Dr. Weston also initi-
ated a .project to donate to the
museum over a hundred photos of
"Jewish Physicians' Contributions
to American Medicine," a Bnai
Brith exhibit in Washington, D.C.
Among the items were photostats
of documents dealing with Jewish
Civil War surgeons.
The Tel Aviv Museum of Medical
History provides a scientific and
cultural link between the doctors
of Israel and their colleagues
throughout the world. Ancient sur-
gical instruments also will be
housed in the museum, along with
the recently acquired belongings of
the famous doctor, Bela Schick.
Local physicians with items suit-
able for display in the museum
may contact Dr. Weston at 342-
5359.
