THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 36—Friday, January 3, 1975 Channel 56 to Air `Zalmen' Play This Week's Radio and Television Programs HEBRON (ZINS) — The mayor of Hebron, Sheik Mu- hammad Ali Jaabari, peti- tioned Defense Minister Shi- mon Peres by letter to for- bid the Herut Party from holding its scheduled nation- al conference in his city. The Arab mayor stated that holding such a conven- tion in Hebron would be in contravention of the law, be- cause Hebron is an "Arab city and is a part of the King dom of Jordan." Jaabari fur- ther declared that a Herut gathering in Hebron would be offensive to Arab feel- ings and would threaten the peace and security of the area ED BURG THEATER IN AMERICA Richard Bauer, left, and Joseph Wiseman portray the roles of Zalmen and the rabbi, respectively, in the Theater in America production of Elie Wiesel's drama, "Zalmen or the Madness of God," to be aired 9 p.m. Wednesday on Channel 56 (wrvs). The play centers on Zalmen, a Russian Jew, who urges his rabbi to speak out during High Holy Day services at which "outsiders" will be present.

It is a testi- mony to the endurance of the Jewish spirit even under the most oppressive circumstan- ces.
