Longtime Dream Is Realized
on the Israel-Jordan Border
There are many points on Israel's
eastern border where you can look
right across into Jordan. At one of
those points stands the forest of
Cantor Anton A. Rosenfeld.
In May. he and his wife Helen
saw the forest of 10,000 trees dedi-
cated in memory of their parents,
Joseph and Bluma Leah Fisher and
Yehezkel and Leah Rosenfeld.
Standing 43 kilometers (27
miles) outside Jerusalem, the
Rosenfeld Forest provides a strat-
egic curtain of greenery for Kib-
butz Bet Guvrein, which not long
ago was the object of sporadic fire
from across the border.
In fact, while the Oak Park cou-
ple was there to dedicate the forest,
bullets were fired in dubious wel-
come. Some 60 friends and relatives
were present for the dedication.
For some boys, owning a fire
engine would be life's greatest
gift. For Rosenfeld, former can-
tor of Cong. Bnai Moshe, plant-
ing a forest was his longtime
ambition. Orphaned at an early
age with the death of his father,
a cantor in Hungary, Rosenfeld
well remembers the JNF box in
his home.
That box, in the days before
independance in Palestine, symbol.
ized Zion to many an impoverished
family in Europe.
Rosenfeld has come a long way
since then. A successful insurance
agent for the past 26 years, he
serves on the Jewish National Fund
board. (He also is former president
of the Detroit Jewish Ministers
Cantors Association, having been
cantor at Bnai Moshe 14 years. Be-
fore coming to this country in the
1920s he was chief cantor in Buda-
pest.)
Mrs. Rosenfeld also is active in
the JNF and the Zionist movement.

Anton A. Rosenfeld, former
cantor at Cong. Bnai Moshe, takes
a hand in the planting of a tree
in the forest he has endowed
in Israel in memory of his par-
ents. Mrs. Rosenfeld looks on.
This was the second trip to Israel
for Rosenfeld, who said he hopes to
go back soon "to see the trees
grow." Urging others to similarly
plant forests in Israel through be-
quests, Rosenfeld said, "What Isra-
el does, no other country can do.
These people know the purpose
of life."
A "GEMS, MINERAL AND
EARTH SCIENCE EXHIBIT",
sponsored by the Michigan Min-
eralogical Society, will be held this
weekend in the Community Arts
Building, Michigan State Fair
Grounds. According to Gerald Ir-
vine, general show chairman, the
show will feature many unusual
displays of gems, minerals, fossils,
lapidary work, jewelry, carvings
and other crafts. Hours are 10
a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and 10
a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
Ground was dedicated Monday
in the settlement of Ramat Hash-
aron, near Tel Aviv for a voca-
tional school sponsored by Sam
Rothberg of At-
lanta, Ga., whose
$250,000 gift to
the Israel Edu-
cation Fund of
the United Jew-
ish Appeal will
finance construc-
tion of the sec-
ondary school.
The school will
be named the
Kalman and Min-
nie Rothberg Vo-
cational School,
in memory of
Rothberg's par-
ents. The Atlanta
realtor and phil-
Rothberg
anthropist was present at the
ceremony.
Rothberg, who is actively en-
gaged in Jewish and civic affairs
in Atlanta, was born in New York,
son of immigrant parents who came
from Europe in 1880 and moved to
Plainfield, N.J., in 1884. He at-
tended Plainfield schools and was
a retail merchant there until his
marriage to the former Rita Froh-
sin of Atlanta, after which he
resided in , Atlanta, continued as
a retail merchant and branched
out into the real estate field. He
studied law at night and obtained
a Bachelor of Laws degree some
years ago.
Rothberg is actively affiliated
with many Jewish and civic move-
ments.
He traveled abroad with the
Trade Mission of Atlanta under
the leadership of former Governor
Ernest Vandiver in 1960 and has
toured Israel several times with
United Jewish Appeal missions.
His sister Peggy, with her hus-
band, Artist Leonard Gidding of
Plainfield, N.J., plan to accompany
him to Israel in the spring of 1966
to attend the dedication of the
school memorializing their par-
ents.

NEW DELHI (JTA) — A top
official of India's second largest
political party called again for a
change in India's foreign policy
toward the Arab states and for
recognition of Israel.
Balraj Madnok, general secre-
tary of the Bharatiya Jansangh
Party, told a press conference at
Ahmedabad also that Israel was
the strongest and most democratic
country "in west Asia."
He said that if Egypt could have
diplomatic relations with "India's
enemy, Pakistan, and India at the
same time," there was no reason
why India could not have relations
simultaneously with the Arab
countries and Israel.
