Israeli Orchestra
Impresses Vienna
The Israeli Chamber Or-
chestra recently played to a
capacity audience of 2,000 in
Vienna.
According to Detroiter
Marguerite Kozenn Chajes,
who spends part of each
year in Vienna, the mem-
bers of the orchestra are
young, good looking and
excellent musicians. Most of
them are former refugees
from Russia, Romania and
Czechoslovakia as is their
very competent conductor
Mendi Rodan, who came to
Israel several years ago
from Romania.
All the Austrian music
critics praised the orchestra
and its program, and they
considered the solo appear-
ance of cello-virtuoso Mi-
chael Maisky as the high-
light.
Maisky, born in Riga,
studied in Moscow and
there won the 1965 Tchai-
kovsky competition. Three
years ago he left Russia
and is presently one of the
most sought after cello
soloists in the world.
The orchestra presented
as an "artistic greeting from
Israel" "Jephta's Daughter,"
a highly interesting work of
ballet music by Mordecai
Seter. Seter teaches at the
Music Academy in Tel Aviv;
his composition was influ-
enced by his teacher Stra-
vinsky and Near-Eastern
folklore.

tion consisted of some 15
athletes headed by the late
Lillian Copeland, of Olym-
pic fame. This contingent
was underwritten by the
National Jewish Welfare
Board as was the member-
ship for the 1935 Games.
In 1935 the second Mac-
cabiah was held in Pales-
tine and ultimately was to
be recognized as the Mac-
cabiah Aliya as so many
participants, particularly
from the European conti-
nent, used it as a means of
illegal immigration to Pa-
lestine. That winter the
second set of games was
held in Czechoslovakia
after which there was a
hiatus of 15 years because
of the Holocaust, the Sec-
ond World War and its aft-
ermath.

The games have grown in
stature to the point where
today the International
Olympic Committee, since
1961, has granted recogni-
tion to the Maccabi World
Union and the International
Maccabiah Games Commit-
tee. These two organizations
are responsible for the con-
duct and well-being of the
Jewish Olympics, com-
monly referred to as the
Maccabiah, and send observ-
ers from over the whole
world to check the athletic
proceedings.
One of the highlights of
the current games is Jerusa-
lem Day, in which all parti-
cipants and their followers
are driven to the Holy City
for appropriate memorial
exercises and visits to the
holy shrines. These are ac-
companied by appropriate
musical and choral selec-
tions rendered by top tal-
ents of the land.
Rich Man Dies
Amid Squalor
MIAMI BEACH — A
man who left an estate val-
ued at more than $1.5 mil-
lion died here amid filth and
cockroaches.
David Gelgor's body was
found by Miami Beach pol-
ice last week in a dumpy ho-
tel room filled with stacks
of old papers, stocks, bonds
and hank statements and
dirt and filth. According to
police, the papers indicated
that Mr. Gelgor left all but a
few hundred dollars to or-
ganizations and schools in
Israel.
Friends of Gelgor said he
once owned a lavish estate
in New York, but no one
seemed to know how he
made his fortune. Police
found an engineering di-
ploma in the rubble.
The woman who owned
the retirement home where
Mr. Gelgor once lived said
that the man refused to
bathe and there were mag-
gots on his body. She indi-
cated that other residents
"couldn't stand him in the
dining room or lobby."

Big Donors to Keren Hayesod
Urged to Encourage Others
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
S.Y. Kreutner, director of
the Keren Hayesod, urged
big donors not to rest con-
tent with giving, but to ap-
proach other potential giv-
ers with that aim of
prompting them also to give
to Israel.
Addressing members of
the United Israel Appeal-
January 30, 1976 31
Keren Hayesod interna-
tional fact-finding mission
(the annual most prestigi-
ous KH mission to Israel),
Kreutner suggested that
each such donor approach
10 to 15 others in the course
of a year. Kreutner also
urged that more emphasis
be placed on middle givers
(in the $2,000-$6,000 range).
During a meeting with
Yosef Almogi, chairman of
the World Zionist Organiza-
tion Executive, one mission
member asked why some
Israelis left Israel. "For the
same reason that you are
not immigrating to Israel,"
he replied.
In a similar vein, Tour-
ism Minister Moshe Kol
has proposed an urgent de-
bate in the Cabinet — to be
followed by prompt action
— on the problem of yer-
ida, Israelis leaving Israel
to live abroad. According
to various estimates, there
are some 250,000 Israelis
now living abroad, more or
less permanently. Govern-
ment efforts in the past to
attract them back home
have not been successful.
Last year's yerida figure,
estimated at 16,000, was
only just less than the aliya
figure.
