NEW YORK—Michael Ar-
non, who served for six years
as secretary of the cabinet
and government of Israel, ar-
rived here to take up his
era . . . to prepare the in- new duties as president and
frastructure of Israel, the
basis on which our whole
building reposes." Speaking
about the image of the JNF,
he said it's wrong to see it
"as a mere tree-planting in-
strument." It is, he stated,
the "greatest contribution to
the ecological problem of an
ever expanding new Israel—
it is a preparation for 'a new
way of life of a strong and
secure society."
Meyer Pessin, JNF nation-
al president, pledged on be-
half of the fund, that it would
begin immediately its task of
translating the project pre-
sented by Tsur into "a tan-
gible reality which will en-

Composer Bernstein Draws
From Kabala for Ballet `Dybuk'
NEW YORK — Leonard
Bernstein, son of a talmudic
scholar and businessman,
has returned to Jewish tra-
dition — the Kabala, no less
—for the score of "The Dy-
buk." a ballet which opened
Thursday at the New York
State Theater.
Bernstein collaborated with
Jerome Robbins, choreogra-
pher, for the work performed
by the New York City Ballet.
It was inspired by the story
of "The Dybuk," a 60-year-
old Yiddish classic written
in Russia by S. Ansky and
first staged in Warsaw by the
Yiddish Vilna Troupe.
Bernstein told a reporter
for the New York Times that
every note in the ballet was
arrived at by kabalistic "or
mystical manipulation of
numbers." (In Kabala, every
one of the 22 letters of the
Hebrew alphabet has a
numerical value.)
To help unite mysticism
and music, Bernstein drew a
diagram of a kabalistic tree
representing the emanations
of the Godhead. Among the
many spiritual and physical
qualities depicted are under-
standing, strength, grace, en-
durance and glory.
Bernstein found that "Nine
is a magic number. It has
such extraordinary powers."
Within the octave range he
invented a scale with nine
notes and a multiple factor
of 18 or 36.
He pointed out that 36 is
the sum total of the letters
in the name of Leah, the un-
h a p p y heroine of "The
Dybuk" whose body is in-
habited by the spirit of her
rejected suitor.

of Syrian Jews an
`Internal Matter'
Arnon Assumes Bonds Post
"Thirty-six is the number
of unknown, just men, saints
put on earth to do good
deeds," Bernstein said.
"Thirty-six is twice 18 and
18 is the sum of the letters
for the word that means life,
hai. Twice life, that means
Leah's life and the suitor's
life, united in her name, a
further indication that this
forbidden marriage must
take place."
The composer went further
yet. He had written one piece
called "18" that had 18
rhythms for 18 instruments.
"But they cut it." Inciden-
tally, the length of the ballet
is 40 minutes, a multiple of
eight.

Film Shows Dangers
of Following Despots
NEW YORK—A short film
dramatizing how people "who
can't be bothered to think
for themselves" can be dup-
ed into relinquishing_ their
rights and freedom is being
made available to school and
community groups by. the
Anti-Defamation League of
Bnai Brith.
Called "Puppets," the film
warns against despots and
charlatans who advocate easy
solutions to complex prob-
lems and prey upon fears for
their own personal advant-
age. Among examples is the-
Nazis' scapegoating the Jews
