THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

A Break-the-Fast Dinner in Vietnam

High Holy Day arrangements of the National Jewish Welfare
Board's commission on Jewish chaplaincy for Jewish servicemen at
military installations around the globe include break-the-fast dinners
such as the one shown taking place in Vietnam.

Rosh Hashana Message to U.S. Jewry
From Jewish Chaplains in Vietnam

From Saigon, Vietnam, comes
the text of the Jewish New Year
greeting to the American Jewish
community from the four Jewish
chaplains in Vietnam — Sanford
Dresin, Sheldon Lewis, Robert
Krauss and Frederick Wenger.
The message, which was sent to
the commission on Jewish chap-
laincy of the National Jewish Wel-
fare Board, voices Judaism's an-
cient plea for peace and good will
among the nations and people of
the world and expresses thanks
for religious and morale services
provided to Jewish personnel in
Vietnam by the American Jewish
community through JWB. The
commission on Jewish chaplaincy
is made up of representatives of
the three major rabbinical bodies:
Central Conference of American
Rabbis (Reform), the Rabbinical
Assembly (Conservative) and the
Rabbinical Council of America
(Orthodox). The message reads:
The High Holy Days afford a
time for all Jews to stop, take
stock of themselves, and join their
brethren in prayer for Divine di-
rection during the coming year.
We chaplains, together with all
Jewish personnel here In Vietnam,
greet you as we enter on the year
5731. Though the world has made
but little prcgress in Its quest for
righteousness and peace, still we
hope that God will bring us closer
to that day "when nation shall not

lift up sword against nation
neither shall men learn war any
more." Here in a war zone, we
feel the need for this blessing as
never before.
We want to thank the National
Jewish Welfare Board, its Wom-
en's Organizations' Services, Jew-
ish Federations and Welfare funds,
the United Jewish Appeal of
Greater New York, and the entire
American Jewish community for
that support which serves as a
concrete symbol of your identifi-
cation with us. Truly you teach us
daily the truth of the old saying,
"All Israel is responsible one for
another."
We hope that next year all of
us may be reunited with our fami-
lies and loved enes. Until then,
we ask your prayers as the sound
of the shofar unites us in spirit,
even as it unites all Jews around
the world. L'shana tova tika-
tevu. May you all be inscribed
and sealed in the book of life for
a year of health and happiness!
(Signed)

and participated in the Maccabia

for Yale despite a two-year proba-
tion placed on the school.

Biggest news of the past year i
on the Jewish sports scene was the I
superb performance of the Israel
national soccer team in the World
Cup competition in Mexico City.
Led by coach Emanuel Sheffer, the
lightly; regarded Israeli amateurs
held Sweden and Italy to draws
and lost to Uruguay, 3-0. It was the
first time Israel reached the final
round of 16 in the World Cup
event. Outstanding players for Is-
rael were captain Mordechai
Spiegler, Giora Spiegel, Yitzhak
Visoker, Menachem Bello and
Shinuel Rosenthal. Israel was also
represented in Mexico City by
referee Avraham Klein, a physical
training teacher from Haifa.
In the United States the year
began with a 1969 National League
pennant and World Series triumph
for the New York Mets. Outfielder-
first baseman Art Shamsky con-
tributed a regular season average
of .300 to the surprise success, and
then continued his robust hitting
into the 1970 season. Other major
league players included Washing-
ton Senator first baseman Mike
Epstein; Houston Astro outfielder
Norm Miller and Chicago Cub
pitcher Ken Holtzman. When
Holtzman won his 12th game in
1970, he reached 60 lifetime vic-
tories. Only three other Jewish
hurlers have gained more career
wins. Former major leaguers
Norm and Larry Sherry were en-
gaged in coaching, Norm with the
California Angels and Larry as

manager of the Mobile White Sox
of the Southern League. Sports-
caster and former pitching great
Sandy Koufax made news when
he was named the AP's "Baseball
Athlete of the Decade."
On baseball's executive level
Allan (Bud) Selig became presi-
dent of the new Milwaukee team
and Marvin Milkes moved from
Seattle to become the Brewers'
general manager. Selig bad
worked for many years to bring
major league baseball back to
Wisconsin. Heads of other major
league clubs were Gabe Paul,
Cleveland; Jerry Hoffberger,
Baltimore; and Charles Bronf-
man, Montreal.

In professional basketball the
New York Knickerbockers under
coach William (Red) Holzman

finally succeeded in winning their
first NBA title. Holzman was

named "Coach of the Year" and
the New York club gave him the

additional job of general manager.
In the ABA Hal Blitman took over
as head coach of the depressed
Miami Floridians. At the end of
the season the owners fired the
team and kept the coach. Adolph
