Americans Play Latins in Hebrew

Two gangs of juvenile delin-
quents — one American, the other
Puerto Rican — clash on a New
York City slum street. The po-
lice whistle blows, and the gangs
scatter. One youth is bleeding
from a face wound.
It's only a scene from "West
Side Story."
But instead of breaking into
"The Jet Song," the actors do
"Shir Ha'jet" — "Kawl Jet hoo
gibor, v'hazak k"Shimshon . . ."
("Every Jet is a hero, and strong
like Samson . . .")
The Jets and the Sharks, por-
trayed Sunday night by the Adas
Shalom Youth Education Depart-
ment, were clashing in Hebrew.
Directed by Marvin Berris and
Allan Gould, "Sipur Ha'Pabarim"
("Story of the Suburbs") was done
entirely in Hebrew, with the ex-
ception of a few songs, coordi-
nated by Rabbi Pesach Sobel.

Tree planting in Israel through the Jewish National Fund has
become an established link with Israel in all Detroit Jewish schools.
Last week, Dr. Israel Wiener, president of the Detroit JNF Council,
presented certificates to pupils in the Hine' Day School. In the photo
with Dr. Wiener are Richard Minkin, Ann Marwil, Mrs. Adina Tzeel,
a faculty member who is an exchange teacher from Israel, and Ellissa

The musical was b o u n d to
lose something in the trans-
lation, but it was done with
loving care. Delinquents be-
came "ahvaryanim," from the
word "ahvayrah," or sin; in the
song about "Saraynu Krupke"
("Our Officer Krupke"), the
gang ex c I aims not "Golly,
Moses," but "golly, Moshe"; be-
fore the final, tragic fight, the
Jets vow to virtually bury their
foes — "gever le kever" means
"man to the grave." Only the
word rumble didn't change
meaning; in Hebrew, it's "rum-
ble."

Their girls were Sheila Wald-
man, Michelle Sher, Gloria Wolk,
Maralyn Glaser, Esther Novetsky,
Ilene Grossman, Bonnie Haber
and Hannah Ulrych. (Note some

had quick changes to make—from
Jets to their own girls!)
Merle Carson was piano accom-

panist; Susan Grossman did scen-
ery; Steven Sinkoff, technical as-
sistance; and Robin Tanzman, as-

sistant.

In a word, the production was
"karir" — cool, real cool.

The cast had fun doing the play,
but they took it pretty seriously,
too. Far more so than the adult
audience that giggled and said
"wow" during some love scenes.
"Sipur Ha'Pabarim," the result
of five months' rehearsals by the
cast, all age 14 to 17, was enviable
in its originality. There was no
lack of talent either. Charles Ber-
ris and Doris Seligson were ex-
ceptional as Tony and Maria, the
star-crossed lovers. There are
some Oscars for best-supporting
actors, too: Renee Siegan, Ralph
Goren (as a bumbling, delightful
Krupke), Daniel Shevitz (as the
h i l a r i o u s, glad-handing social-
welfare aide), Ho w a rd Berris,
