Cantor Barkin
Saluted for Role
in Treger Debut
Editor, The Jewish News:
An occasion that should be
lauded and applauded oc-
curred last week at Cong.
Shaarey Zedek.
Our Jewish community
need not be told of the agony
of adults resettled in a
strange new land with a
strange new language. Thus,
when violinist Alexander Tre-
ger came to our shores from
Russia just a few short
months ago and found him-
self in our city, he, too, was
unsure of his future.
Then, he met with my col-
league, Cantor Jacob Barkin,
and after many, many hours
of dedicated and hard labor,
Alexander Treger's uncer-
tainty was transformed into
magnificent reality and, we
in this country, were intro-
duced to an exciting virtuoso
whose future is extremely
bright.
May I take this opportunity
to publicly salute Cantor
Barkin and through him all
the cantors of this commu-
nity for upholding our cul-
tural heritage by bringing us
the best in Jewish music and
Jewish musicians — for fos-
tering cultural creativity
which is the lifeline of our
future.

Israeli Teens Prove Selves in Time of Crisis
By JUDY CARR
JERUSALEM — When the
Yom Kippur War broke out,
families suddenly were left
without husbands and elder
sons as the men were called
into the army. This led to
many domestic crises.
Even in cases not drastic
enough to warrant the help
of a psychologist or profes-
sional counselor, there were
serious problems. Mothers

Group Seeks Open
Discussion of Issues
in Israel, Diaspera
NEW YORK — Breira Al-
ternative is the name of a
new movement of young
Jews who seek to promote
open discussion of issues
connected with the state of
Israel and its relations with
the Diaspora Jewish commu-
nity.
The impetus for the ,forma-
tion of Breira, according to
its founders, "derived from
a very strong conviction that
the present moment is criti-
cal for the future vitality of
Jewish life in the United
States as well as Israel."
A number of Jewish lead-
ers, including Rabbi David
Gordis, provost of the Uni-
versity of Judaism, and
Rabbi Joachim Prinz, chair-
man of the governing council
of the World Jewish Con-
gress, are among the advis-
ory committee.
The working committee
plans to organize community
forums in the New York area
and has begun to prepare
materials and curricula.
Their statement proclaims:
"As American Jews we are
saddened by the extent to
which American Jewish life
has come to consist almost
exclusively of vicarious par-
ticipation in the life of the
state of Israel."
were left alone to cope with
children, who became unruly
without their fathers' care.
There was no one to mind
children while the mother
took a sick child to the doc-
tor—and this at a time of
tension when the women
feared for the lives of their
men in the army.
Schoolchildren of 17 and
18 in Gadna, the paramili-
tary youth corps, stepped in-
to the breach. At every high
school in the two upper
grades, pupils are trained for
various prearmy d u t i e s.
Capt. Simcha Zohar, organ-
izer of Gadna activities in the
southern region. relates:
- "The boys and girls were
sent to families who needed
help. They took the place of
the absent parent, helping
the children with their home
lessons, listening to prob-
lems, letting the mother get
out of the home to fulfill
necessary duties. In the
southern region, which in-
cludes Jerusalem, there are
450 boys and girls taking
care of 300 families."
Some of the families who
needed help were poor and
with many children—social
problems even without the
war. It was an eye-opener to
the high school pupils, from
good homes ; to see this side
of Israeli life.
The program is supervised
by social workers and psy-
chologists as well as army
commanders, so that any
problems that arise can be
ironed out by experienced
professionals. But the bulk
of the difficult voluntary
work is being done by teen-
agers with no other experi-
ence than they have gained
from their family and school
lives.
