El- Dror, with a commendatory intro- THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, September 11, 1970-39 duction by Prof. Abraham Joshua Heschel. Printed by Masada Press in England, it is being distributed in this country by Herzl Press. The variety of topics is es- pecially impressive in this vol- ume. The compiler of these say- ings not only drew upon Bialik's devotion to the national renais- sance of Israel but also upon the literary comments, on the poet's knowledge of the Bible and the Talmud from both of which he had drawn inspiration.

Danny Raskin's LISTENING p 0 S T By HY LEWIS Guest Columnist Sam and Sylvia Goldstein, one of the nicest couples you would ever want to meet, just back from Las Vegas . . . Sammy says, "There's no truth to the rumor that gambling is down . . . they are still spending millions on games of chance . . . including marriage." Sam Evans along with Benny Schecter who are doing the decor for Danny Raskin's big party were playing the back nine at Rackham when Ben's tee shot rolled into the cup for a hole-in-one. Sammy looked stunned for a moment . . approached the tee . . . set his ball down and said, "O.K., you had your practice swing, now I'll have mine." What had started out to be an intimate dinner party honoring Danny Raskin, has now mush- roomed into a big-bash testimonial dinner-dance . . . as the list of :hose wanting to attend grew, more friends of Danny got together to expand on the original ides and that's how it got started. Danny's list of credits are many . . . as a zolumnist for The Jewish News for 28 years . . . his mother Min- nie's scrap-book of the Listening Post column goes back to the first article dated March 27, 1942. Danny is on the board of directors of the Jewish National Fund and the Oak Park Symphony Orches- tra . . . Honorary member of numerous charitable organizations, national representative of Saints and Sinners who help mentally retarded children. Unprecedented 3-time chancellor commander of the Knights of Pythias, Detroit Lodge No. 55, 32nd degree Mason, Perfection Lodge . . a Moslem Shriner. Danny has received cita- tions from the Jewish War Vet- erans and the American Legion, Julius Rosenwald Post for his dedi- cated services to these august bodies . . we could go on and on . . . but come to the dinner- dance in his honor at the Raleigh House, Tuesday night, Oct. 16 at 6:30 p.m. and shake hands with this really nice guy whose host of friends think that much of him. Nadine Miller whose twin sons Brian and Robert are celebrating their Bar Mitzva this month, ob- serves that a mother's role is to deliver children first at the hos- pital and then by station-wagon afterwards. Many people have an aquarium in their home and it's almost hyp- notic to watch the little fish move about so gracefully . . . but if you were to visit Oak Parkers, Lenore and Sam Diskin who along with their boys, Mark, Johnny and Jef- frey, share their home with over 700 fish in many varieties in as- sorted aquariums. You can he entertained for hours watching this spectacle and come to think of it . . . no mercury in the water. Dr. Paul Kerwin observes that when you're driving it's always your wife who is the first to see a parking space, but only after you passed it . . . which reminds me that a woman driver can sel- dom figure out which of the three parking meters to put her nickel in. Johnathon Block, former De- troiter who has become a citizen of Israel, writes his 'Uncle Charlie and Grandfather Abram Hoptmaa how happy he is in the Holy Land. He has just become the head chicken man of his kibutz . . . Grandpa 'shepped nahas' from John.
