Davar Literary Editor Lerner Sponsors Sandee Lachman Bride
World Poetry Center in Safed Israel, of Bernard Glieberman
Enrolls Detroit Supporting Group
Aryeh Lerner, for nearly 30
years a member of the editorial
staff of Davar, Tel Aviv daily He-
brew newspaper, for two decades
his paper's literary editor, made
known on a brief visit in Detroit
last week the establishment of a
poetry center in Safed that is to
be an international library and
lecture headquarters for the
poetry of all nations.
Here to visit with his uncle and
aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Winokur,
18601 Kentucky, the Israeli guest
conferred with Charles E. Fein-
berg, Wolf Snyder and others, and
he has expressed hope that a De-
troit, group of sponsors will ma-
terialize.
For the Winokurs, Lerner's visit
here was an event of great sig-
nificance. Mrs. Bella Winokur,
sister of Lerner's father, had not
seen the Israeli editor since he
was eight years old, and this re-
union, after 49 years, was a cause
for family celebration.
At his own expense, thereby
introducing his project, Lerner
has secured from the Israel
Ministry of Religions the 14th
century structure in Safed, an
historic building that dates back
to the era of the Mamelukes and
the Crusaders, to be used as
headquarters for the movement
which he is creating in memory
of his father, Jacob Lerner, an
outstanding poet who died in his
40th year in Russia in 1918.
Lerner already has published his
father's collected poetry in a He-
brew volume. He plans the new
poetry center, the establishment
of which has drawn the interest
of many poets in many lands in-
cluding the United States, as the
Jacob Lerner World Art and Po-
*
etry Center.
"Because the building I acquired
belongs to the ministry of re-
ligions, it can never be turned into
a commercial venture and will
therefore remain permanently a
cultural center," Lerner said. "It
is our plan to gather all available
Hebrew and Yiddish poetry and
the poems of the most distin-
guished writers of all nations. It
is our hope that the interest cre-
ated will bring us many literary
contributions to our venture."
He explained that the new
center will include reading and
lecture rooms, in addition to the
library, and provisions will be
made for chamber music concerts.
"Safed is an ideal location for
such a center," Lerner said. "It
is the home of the Kabbalah. The
Lecha Dodi was written there.
The great mystics lived there,
and we hope those interested in
mysticism will assist us in estab-
lishing a department related to
the mystics."
Lerner, who was one of the or-
ganizers of the art colony in Safed,
lives in Tel Aviv with his wife,
Hannah, who is one of Israel's
noted artists. Mrs. Lerner has just
completed an unusual assign-
ment — the preparation of the
stained glass windows, murals and
other art works for the Flatbush
High School in New York.
Coming to Israel in 1925 to study
in the Herzlia Gymnasium, Lerner
received his BA in London. He
was in charge of Jewish National
Fund activities in England before
assuming the.editorial post on the
Davar. He is the author of a num-
ber of books, including an an-
thology on art which was a best
seller in Israel.

Israeli Educator Is Returning Home
Impressed by Role of U.S. Jewry
"I am going back home deeply
impressed with what I have seen
in America, especially by what I
have seen in Detroit, and I shall
be able to tell my fellow-Israelis
that American Jewry is our great
support which helps us in our
struggle for advancement."
Mrs. Sarah Ravel emphasized
this upon the conclusion of her
week's visit here as the guest of
Air. and Mrs. Samuel Lichtenstein,
17565 Wisconsin.
A teacher of English in the
Achuza School on Mount Carmel in
Haifa, Mrs. Ravel specializes in the
Harvard method of teaching
English. She has just completed a
brief study at Oxford, and in this
country she is traveling on a sight-
seeing coast-to-coast tour by bus
to see America.
Mrs. Ravel said that there is a
lack of understanding of the true
role of the Jews of America whose
great tasks in Israel's behalf
should be more emphasized. She
said this will be her message to
her people when she returns home
next month.
She was especially moved by the
Detroit school systems, the Jewish
Center, the beautiful synagogues,
and she said she was heartened to
know that there is such deep inter-
est in Jewish life and in Israel in
this and in other American Jewish
communities.
