Feature: "The Tree Lives," by
Joseph Mindel, a dramatization of
some of the events connected with
Theodore Herzl's efforts to realize
his dream of a Jewish state, will

Final plans for the event were
announced jointly by Sidney M.
Shevitz, president of the Jewish
Community Council, and Morris
Lieberman, chairman of the Zion-
ist Council of Detroit.
Col. Arnon, a native of Israel, or
sabra, was born in Jerusalem in
1930. At age 15 he joined the
Haganah, the Israel Defense Force.
During the War of Independence,
at age 18, he commanded an infan-
try platoon and fought mainly in
and around Jerusalem where he
was wounded twice.
After the war, he left the army
and became active in the immigra-
tion movement to Israel, later re-
turning to Jerusalem to study at
the Hebrew University. In 1953,
he rejoined the regular army and
for the past six years has been
commander of a paratroop recon-
naissance unit. Col. Arnon is cur-
rently in the United States on a
year's assignment to the U. S.

theme by Haydn. All of Froh-
man's great talent emerged
here, from orchestration (pro-
vided by string instrumentalists
of the Detroit Symphony) to the
blending of chorus and soloists.
The latter, Pearl Kaplan, rated a
bravissimo.
Other soloists did their conduc-
tor proud: Marion Bates (whose
rich soprano made the Israeli
"Kacha" a highlight of the even-
ing), Marilyn Krausse, Joseph
Cantor, Paul Kadish. In an amus-
ing exchange of ethnic roles, Eu-
gene Slobin sang "Italian Salad,"
and Dino Valley did the Yiddish
"Der Milner." Valley's Yiddish
accent was more like Chinese, but
that tenor would sound good in
any language.
