Shuval, research as- sociate at the Israel Institute of Applied Social Research, has been awarded the Israel Prize for the Social Sciences for her book, "Im- migrants on the Threshold." A chapter of the book is based on the paper for which she was awarded the Helen L. DeRoy Award of the Society for the Study of Social Problems. The book, published by Atherton Press, a division of Prentice-Hall, is the first large-scale empirical study of the adjustment problems of immigrants. Dr. Shuval reports on the attitudes and behavior of almost 2,000 people from 20 coun- tries during their first year in Israel. In a letter to Helen DeRoy, well- known Detroit philanthropist, Dr. Shuval expressed her appreciation to Mrs. DeRoy for her "part in the earliest stages of this research." American - born and educated, Dr. Shuval received her PhD from Radcliffe College in 1955 and teaches in the sociology depart- ment of the Hebrew University, Jerusalem. Since 1949, she has lived and engaged in research in Israel, working in the fields of immigration, acculturation a n d , more recently, medical sociology. The Institute for Applied Social Research conducted an indepen- dent study of the adjustment of immigrants to Israel back in 1949 and 1950, but lack of funds brought an end to the study just as the field work had been completed. Grants from several foundations and from UNESCO permitted an- alysis of the study almost 10 years later, and Dr. Shuval's book re- ports the result of the investiga- tion.

"Inside Kasrilevke" will be published by Schocken Books on Sept. 20. Kasrilevke symbolizes any one of hundreds of Jewish towns in Eastern Europe fifty, sixty, and seventy years ago. Sholom Alei- chem portrays the essence and vitality of a Kasrilevke in transi- tion from the old, isolated commu- nity to a more modern town which has trains and tramways, hotels and restaurants, and even a theater featuring an actor from America. Characterizations of the many in- habitants of Kasrilevke, and the situations which they live through, are told with a Yiddish humor of which Sholom Aleichem is the supreme exponent. The humor of inversion, of self-analysis and in- trospective satire, the humor used 80-year-old rabbi who leads the Kasrilevkites from profound des- pair after the "great fire" of Kas- rilevke, to rebuild their beloved city.
