Stollman Gift Turns
Rubbish Heap
Into Park in Poor Jerusalem Area
This is one of the most interesting photographs of contrasts in
Jerusalem. It is, in fact, two photos in one. The upper shows a heap
of rubbish in a Jerusalem area inhabited by impoverished newcomers.
The lower shows the same spot as it is today—turned into a beau-
tiful park.
These photos tell a story of generosity. When Detroiter Phillip
Stollman was in Israel the early part of this year, Mayor Teddy
Kollek of Jerusalem told him of a dream he had—of converting the
neglected areas of his city into parks, of establishing schools, of
setting up playgrounds.
Stollman, unsolicited, gave a generous contribution towards any
such project Mayor Kollek would choose.
The above is the result of that generosity: it was Stollman's gift
that made possible the conversion of the neglected spot into a park.
When he was in Israel last month, Stolhnan was shown the result
of the aid he had given. Stollman thereupon contributed "another
little green corner, near the Windmill overlooking Mount Zion." The
quotation is from a letter from Mayor Kollek to The Jewish News
attached to the above photographs—all submitted to us without
Stollman's knowledge.

LETTER BOX
R. Kretchmer to Take
_Rochelle Cherin as Bride
Cooperation Lack
on Program Plans
Insult to Speakers
Editor, The Jewish News:
It seems to me that the Jewish
community needs a lesson in pub-
lic relations. The Annual Jewish
Book Fair is one of the outstand-
ing events that is held each year.
It should be supported by every-
one who calls himself a Jew, re-
gardless of his affiliation or lack
of affiliation.
Outstanding lecturers are
brought here for the benefit of the
community. It is an insult to the
guest for other Jewish organiza-
tions to schedule events that will
detract from the audience. One
example will suffice.
On Monday evening, Nov. 7,
the Community Center had
scheduled Prof. Irving Green-
berg to lead a discussion on the
"The State of Jewish Belief" at
8 p.m.
At 8:30 p.m., also at the Center,
Rabbi Benjamin Z. Kreitman of
the Brooklyn Jewish Center spoke
on "The Talmud: The Foundation
of Jewish Life". This was co-
sponsored by the National Acad-
emy for Adult Jewish Studies.
The same evening, Temple Is-
rael was holding its adult Jewish
education classes. Shaarey Zedek
had the cantorial concert, and
Temple Beth El had Isaac Bashevis
Singer.
By dissipating the audience in
so many diverse places, each guest
suffered. Who is to blame? How
can this be corrected?
Sincerely,

Reunion Gets Boost
From Columnist Danny
Editor, The Jewish News:
For many months, a group of
people from the Class of Central

union . . . It has taken consider-
able time and effort for us to
compile a list of addresses and
names . . .
We would like to take this op-
portunity to thank Danny Raskin
for his cooperation in giving us
publicity in his column. We re-
ceived a great response which
came as a result of Mr. Raskin's
column . . .
Thanks to Danny and your
newspaper, our 25th reunion
should be a great success.
Sincerely,
FLO GOODMAN
