They were told that the short- age of beds for the aged among long-term residents is desperate. Of the 40,000 who benefit from JDC-Malben services, some 3,000 are now maintained in old age homes. At least 5,000 more beds are needed immediately. Center to Sponsor Trip to Flint Art Museum Reader Recommends Vance of Genghis Cohn' Editor, The Jewish News: Whoever has an interest in Nazi persecution of the -Jews, brother- hood, heroism, Vietnam, Christian- ity, True Believers and humor is urged to read "The Dance of Genghis Cohn" by Romain Gary. (World Publishing Co., NY, Cleve- land). Romain Gary made a discovery: the Nazi extermination of Euro- pean Jews should be told as a comedy. Like all great insights, this one is self-nvident: the inde- scribable is best described in the form of comic writing. This book, in spite of the subject matter, reads easily and even pleasantly. The hilarity of the book conceals the danger that it poses. The book should not be read by those who wish to avoid disturbing thoughts at any price. This is not an epic documentary which will acutely 'disturb, cause disgust and permit a quick throw- ing up whereupon everything goes back to normal. This book is easily consumed, but digested with diffi- culty. Romain Gary's humor is like milk containing Strontium 90, harmless and pleasant when taken in, but disturbing to the system in the long run. Since I think that we -should be disturbed, I recom mend the book. DR. EMANUEL TANAY • `Never Forget' .. . Editor, The Jewish News: "Zahor for remembrace" was the theme recently in the chapel on the beautiful grounds of the He- brew Memorial Park. Many of those who attended the service were asked to light candles in memory of our "Six Million" relatives who perished in Europe. This annual endeavor must be no- ticed and shared by the entire Jew- ish community . . . Rabbi Leizer Levin and the per- petual chairman of this service, Mr. Nathan Samet, each addressed the vast attendance, and Cantor Hyman J. Adler's beautiful voice leterally _ shook the structure with his rendition of the "El Mole Ra- hamim." Rabbi Levin related that the in- structions for this service are di- rectly ordered to us through Moshe Rabenu. He continued saying that in the Ramesh there are three dis- tinct commands: "Remember what Amalek did to you. Blot out his name. NEVER FORGET." . MRS. IRVING PITAK The strength of criticism lies in the weakness of the thing critic- ized. —H. W. Longfellow Rev. Albert Cleage Jr., leader in the Detroit black community, is planning to introduce some ele- ments of Jewish worship into his service at the Shrine of the Black Madonna. Mr. Cleage told a press confer- ence in St. Louis recently that the Passover is a particularly mean- ingful observance to black people. (Last year, in an interview with The Jewish News, Phillip Merritt, elder of Detroit's Beth" El Temple Church of God, told how his con- gregation observes the Passover and other Jewish rituals.) Active in the Interfaith Foun- dation for Community Organiza- tion chaired by Rabbi Marc Tannenbaum of New York, Mr. Cleage has long been interested in the Old Testament, on which he bases most of his sermons, he said. He is author of "The Black Messiah," and said he plans to write a second book on the ques- tion of adapting Jewish forms and worship to black churches. Mr. Cleage, invited to St. Louis to address a meeting of the Nation- al Committee of Negro Churchmen, said he believes that the Bible Jews were basically black, that the 40 years they spent in the "wilderness" after leaving Egypt was, in truth, spent in Africa. Deanna Sperka, arts coordinator of the Jewish Center, will lead a tour to Flint Thursday to see a major exhibit, "Made of Plastic," at the DeWaters Art Institute.
