Hillel Pupils Get INF Tree Certificates Berkley .Teen Wiis `West Side Sipur' Told at Adas Shalom $100inPhoto Finish 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 Baum.

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. —C.H. Southfield by Scholastic Magazines, Inc. The first prize is valued at $100.

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, Sheldon Cohen, Clifford Beresh, Jerry Hoptman, Mark Schneider.
