State Mental Hospital Patients Join
Fellow Jews in Passover Observance
By CHARLOTTE DUBIN
Rosie has been a patient at the
state mental hospital at Ypsilanti
for the past 30 years. For a brief
moment, at the annual seder
luncheon held Tuesday by the
Cooperative Council, she was on
the. concert stage, her skill as a
pianist winning the applause of an
admiring audience.
Others among the 175 guests at
the Yeshivath Beth, Yehudah per-
formed — Donald, filled with the
spirit of the Passover holiday,
dancing a hand-clapping number;
Virginia, singing "Oif'n Pripi-
shok"; and Israel, the hazan,
chanting a liturgy of his own in-
vention.
The-re can't have been a dry
eye in the place — certainly not
among the ladies of Cooperative
Council, who have been sponsor-
ing this event off the hospital
premises for the past 14 years.
Chairman is Mrs. Joseph. Viedrah.
Participants were brought in by
bus from Wayne County General,
Northville, Plymouth, Lapeer and
Ypsilanti hospitals. Additionally,
there were some 25 former pa-
tients who are now in family care
and nursing care homes and others
being assisted by Operation
Friendship, the National Council

Goralski to Air
Calley Trial
gram that eases the patient's
return to the community.
Max Sosin, the president of
Cong. Bnai David, who has been
master of ceremonies for the
luncheon for the past several
years, brought along the cantor
of his synagogue, Hyman Adler,
to add to the spirit of the occa-
sion. Cantor Adler, who matches
Sosin in both size and heart,
sang many traditional melodies,
assisted by band leader Hal Gor-
don at the piano. All three per-
form gratis for every Hanuka
and Passover celebration held
for patients by the council.
Sosin offered plenty of good-
natured ribbing—and a little Yid-
dish—that was enthusiastically wel-
comed. It was more of a stage
show than a seder, but no one was
quibbling—least of all the hospital
chaplain who .coordinates the
visit, Rabbi Solomon Gruskin,
whose personal adherence to
Orthodoxy is undisputed.
Virtually father to all of the
patients he serves, Rabbi Gruskin
fully recognizes that among his
"children," the most important
aspect to this . day is a full kosher
meal off the hospital premises.
And it is no less important to those
in foster care situations who are
far removed from the Jewish com- -
munity. Rabbi Gruskin arranged
for these people, scattered through-
out the city, to be picked up for
the affair.
As each guest left, he received
a parcel of Passover foods—matzo,
salami, fruit, candy and cookies.
There are many state hospital
patients who keep kosher for
Passover, and the chaplain pro-
vides them with the matzo and
other necessary foods, assisted by
the Women's Bicur Cholem.
Other Cooperative Council af-
filiate groups who funded the
seder luncheon are Alpha Omega
Dental Fraternity Detroit Women,
Aesculapian Society Ladies' Auxi-
liary, Children Unlimited, David
Horodoker Women's Organization,
Hebrew Ladies' Aid Society, Home
Relief Society, Infants' Service

Radical Zionist Alliance
Seeks Aid for Activities
The year-old Radical Zionist Al-
liance, formed to coordinate ef-
forts of pro-Israel campus groups,
now has '75 chapters on campuses
across the country, according to
David Mandel, RZA national chair-
man and a student at Oberlin Col-
lege.
Mandel, who is seeking financial
support for the alliance, added that
the Labor Zionist youth movements
Habonim, Dror and Hashomer Hat-
zair have affiliated with the alli-
ance which was formed to combat
anti-Israel propaganda among left-
ists and as an expression of re-
surgence of Jewish identity among
students.
The ideology that has devel-
oped out of this effort, said Man-
del, is an understanding of Amer-
ican Jews and a commitment to
aliya and socialism in Israel.
RZA groups put out newspapers,
hold teach-ins and discussions and
sponsor other activities meant to
insure "that Israel is given a fair
hearing."
For information about the group,
write Mandel at Dascomb Hall,
Oberlin, 0. 44074. The national
office is at 3909 Burnside, Los
Angeles 90008. Jay Hurvitz is ex-
ecutive director.

Memorial Academy, to Be Dedicated
to Six Million, Scheduled. Wednesday
Shaarit Haplaytah — Survivors
of the Holocaust — will hold its
annual Memorial Academy, dedi-
cated to the memory of the Six
Million, 8 p.m. Wednesday at
Cong. Bnai David.
Leon Halpern, president, pointed
out that the 27th of Nisan was
designated as a Yizkor day by the
State of Israel, and the organi-
zation will adhere to this date as
closely as possible.
"As we approach this annual
solemn observance of Shoa, our
hearts are filled with painful grief
and chilling recollections," said
Dr. John J. Mames, chairman of
the Remembrance Project.
"We are still haunted by the
agonizing question: How could the
world allow the calculated annihil-
ation of innocent people and ruth-
less destruction of a whole spiri-
tual and intellectual life? The Six
Million Martyrs were silenced for-
ever; they cannot stand up and
cry out: Why? Their accusa-
tions, their sufferings cannot be
heard. Ours is the duty to speak for
them. And ours is the obligation
not to allow the passing time to
becloud this unspeakable, night-
marish period."
Rabbi Herbert S. Eskin will
deliver the • memorial address,
Cantor Hyman Adler will chant
memorial prayers; and a trio
composed of Gloria Kleinman,
Eric Rosenow and Charles
Weiner, will present musical
selections.
A proclamation from Governor
Milliken and messages from

ers are being issued. Hubert J.
