American Student Entertainers Leave Grateful Israeli Wounded
JERUSALEM — For. nine
American students who have
been entertaining wounded
soldiers all over Israel since
the Yom Kippur War, the
time has come to say goodby
and head for home.
They leave behind thou-
sands of loyal fans in army
bases and hospitals all over
the country.
The group was formed
spontaneously last fall when
Yoram Loewenstein, coun-
selor for members of, the
one-year study program for
overseas students at the He-
brew University, got wind of
the musical talents of several
of the students, and arranged
for them to give a campus
performance.
That original performance,
however, never took place.
The Yom Kippur War broke
out three days before the

Upon his release soon after
the cease fire, Yoram and his
young American students de-
cided to -try a little cheering-
up program of their own.
They spent four days putting
together a new arrangement
of popular American and Is-
raeli tunes and then, with
permission of the army, per-
formed for wounded soldiers
in Jerusalem's Hadassah-
University Hospital.
The students made such a

JERUSALEM — Nine
months have passed since the
Yom Kippur War, and the
emotional and personal prob-
lems of demobilized soldiers
who are students at the He-
brew University still surface.
Whether they are disturbed
by sleepless nights, problems
of concentration or a re-
assessment of their life goals,
students are seeking and find-
ing help from the university's
3 1/2-year-old student counsel-
ing services.
Dr . D o v Friedlander,
Canadian - educated director
of the service, said that dur-
ing the war the case load
dropped dramatically. "Stu-
dents were too involved in
the war or felt too guilty
about expressing certain per-
sonal problems at that time."
During the war period, the
14 s t a f f •members of the
counseling service worked
actively as clinical psycholo-
- gists for the army, and fe-
male staffers assisted widows
Tisha b'Av is the time when the Jews' thoughts turn to the destruction of
the temple. Yet this is also the time to think of the reconstruction and
the upbuilding of the privilege of witnessing the beginning of the
redemption of our ancestral national home and of the Holy City of
Jerusalem.

once a week before all kinds
of audiences in all parts of
the country. They perform-

large audiences, but Susan
Pulman of San Antonio, one
of the vocalists, said "For us,
just singing in a hospital for
a small group is the best."
Once they were taken to
the Sinai Desert to perform.
"There wasn't a soul in sight,
and then, all of a sudden,
soldiers started to appear
from nowhere, gathering all
around us."
As a reward for that per-
formance, the students were
taken across the Suez Canal.
One number in the group's
routine is a Swahili song
which blond flutist Don Ross-
off of St. Paul mirthfully
teaches to the audiences.
That song became the an-
them for the Sinai reservists
and, when the students were
invited back for a return en-
gagement, the soldiers came
swarming out to meet them,
singing the Swahili melody.
The Jewish Agency offered
the group a chance to per-
form at college campuses in
the U.S., but the students
turned them down.
