The Jewish Publication Society
has just published "Tales in Praise
of the Ari," according to an an-
nouncement by William S. Fish-
man, president of the society.
The locale of the tales is the city
of Safed, which occupies a unique
position in Jewish history. Situated
on a hill in the Galil, its sand
colored stone houses and tiny,
meandering streets give it a charm
and quaintness all its own. During
the Middle Ages, Safed became a
city of mystics, a dwelling place
for great religious leaders whose
words and deeds have come down
to us in the strange, exotic lan-
guage of mysticism.
One of these leaders was Rabbi
Isaac Luria Ashkenazi—the Ari. In
a little book called Sefer Shivchai
Ila-Ari, some of the deeds of this
great man have been preserved in
legendary form. This book forms
the text for this collection of draw-
ings by Moshe Raviv.
Moshe Raviv is one of the great
contemporary artists of Israel. He
was horn in Vilna, Lithuania. He
studied painting, architecture, and
the history of art at Vilna Univer-
sity. In 1928. he entered the Bau-
haus of Dessau where he spent two
years and came under the influ-
ence of Kandinsky and Klee. In
1934 • he moved to Palestine where
he has lived ever since.
It has been said of Raviv that his
paintings reveal the secrets of
Safed and its atmosphere, that his
brush puts magic into the stones of
the city. The drawings that ac-
company this collection of wonder
tales about the Ari capture, through
the forms and discipline of modern
art, the unique mood and utterance
of a legendary city that has be-
come an integral part of the living
memory of the Jewish people.
The book is beautifully designed
and produced. It has 64 pages, is
13 inches by 10 inches in size.

Student Objects to BAM's Tactics

Editor, The Jewish News:
I am a University of Michigan '
student who should be at this time
be in my dorm studying for my
finals. But I am at home because
the striking Black Action Move-'
ment (BAM) and its white sup-
porters erupted in Ann Arbor, as
they threatened to do if all their
demands were not met, and have
created a chaotic, dangerous and
unconscionable situation.
To be awakened at 4:30 a.m. by
the banging of metal instruments
brandished by boisterous adoles-
cents and the shouting of reiterat-
ed anti-establishment slogans —
none of this was what I had anti-
cipated when I was still in high
school working toward a scholar-
ship to permit me to attend U.
of M.
This, past week at school has
had the quality of a nightmare.
The striking students (advocates
of freedom of thinking, rights of
the individual, etc.) snarled at any
student who dared to question
their tactics, used obscenities. and
from what I could gather were
having a very good time. Break-
ing windows, destroying priceless
library volumes with . fire exting-
uisher spray, breaking vials of
dangerous chemicals in the science
labs, gathering in force around
the car of a professor who has a
heart condition and not permitting
him to enter the parking lot so
that he ha dto resort to sedatives
for most of that day, preventing
food service trucks from deliver-
ing their supplies to the dorms—
these are only a few of the out-
rages that were perpetrated by
the strikers and supporters . . .
and all of it done with such un-
holy glee, with absolutely no
thought spared for the costly dam-
age and serious consequences of
their actions.

writing their senators, newspapers,
the regents, etc., to accado to the
BAM demands and end the vio-
lence and destruction. Not because
they actually agree with their
children's demands and methods,
but because their parental peace
of mind is threatened.

NEW YORK — In the reception
area of the Juilliard School, sat
Rosina Lhevinne to receive her
guests for her 90th birthday party.
Half ,of her life has been spent at
Juilliard as a teacher to future
greats.
A few of the famous guests were
the Isaac Sterns, Jenni Tourel,
Mrs. Serge Koussevitzky and Mrs.
Arthur Rubinstein (her husband
could not break a concert date).
Her birthday gifts were a lucite
encased silver medallion from the
school, a loving cup as Outstand-
ing Piano Teacher of the Year
and many good wishes.

Before the party Madame
Lhevinne spoke about her career.
"The more one teaches the more
one knows how much there still
is to learn," she said. "As Mr.
Lhevinne would say, we stress
technique not as a goal, but as
a means of musical expression.
We are the middleman."

h
lions until she married the pianist
Josef Lhevinne. She then confined
herself to two piano recitals with
her husband and teaching. (After
46 years of marriage, he died in
1944.)
Although she gave up solo ambi-
tions, "I've never regretted it, not
at all," she said. "His hands
played the notes, that was the
only difference. I knew every
note, and I felt as if I had played
a thousand concerts."
The list of her students includes
Van Cliburn, John Browning,
Adele Marcus, Tong 11 Han, Misha
Dichter, Ralph Votapek, Jeffrey
Siegel and Daniel Pollack.

Reform
You know how happy I am about
any reforms that the future may
bring. But I deeply abhor anything
sudden or violent because it is not
natural. — Goethe.

A Wayne State University stu-
dent's deep study of the works
of Elie Wiese', results in a tribute
to the eminent author.
Rena Deborah Harold. daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Harold of
Lauder, Ave., chose as her theme
for her baccalaureate degree
essay at Monteith College the title
"The Legend of Elie Wiesel—The
Man and His Writings."
Her 60-page extensively annoted
essay contains analyses of Wiesel's
books, a record of many reviews,
references to his speeches and
evidence of deep research into
the life, works, philosophy of one
of the most eminent Jewish
writers today.
Miss Harold's analyses of the
Wiesel books and of the many
articles that have appeared about
him make the baccalaureate es-
say an important addition to the
vast file of critical material that
has accumulated about the author
of many works that deal with the
Holocaust and with Israel's re-
demption as well as with the
Jewish position in the USSR.

The hair you pluck will come back to haunt

you. Before you tweeze again, remember this

Quotation from one of the foremost medical
authorities on the subject of human hair:

"Plucking out strong hairs should never be
advised." Why not? Because the long term
penalties for continued plucking can be so
severe:

1. You may stimulate the
the growth of additional
hairs around the one you
pull out.
2. You may cause succes-
sive generations of hair from
the abused follicle to grow
coarser, longer, darker.
3. You may cause skin irri-
tations, pits, scars.
4. You may make eventual
permanent removal slower
and costlier by pulling the
root and follicle out of
place.
Such risks are needless

now that Air-cooled jet
Stream Electrolysis is avail-
able to you. This is the first
method of permanent hair
removal with everything to
commend it. Air-cooled Jet
Stream is faster, more com-
fortable.
Electrolysis
• is the only
medically approved method
to remove hair permanently.
Investigate this superior spe-
cialized service for the per-
manent improvement and
confidence. You owe it to
yourself to look your best.
