Goldfarb Is Man of Heart

By RABBI
SAMUEL SILVER
(A Seven Arts Feature)

My heart goes out to a
man of heart. Such a man is
Samuel Goldfarb, the man-
ufacturer-philanthropist
who founded Operation
Truth.
Operation Truth is a se-
ries of broadsides written
by this idealist pleading to
the world to improve its
moral housekeeping.
Goldfarb has just written
a flaming new book. Enti-
tled "Citizen Goldfarb," the
book - is not so much his au-
tobiography, although it
does recount his Horatio
Alger story from rags to
more profitable rags (he
was in textiles).
It is more properly his
psychography, narrating
the man's growth from a
person of indifference to a
person of views so broad
that he has been praised
by such luminaries as Dr.
Karl Menninger, Pearl
Buck, Justice Hugo Black,
Meyer Weisgal, Sam Roth-
bert, Teddy Kollek, Max
Fisher and-Henry Montor.
One of the most touching
segments of this great saga
tells how Goldfarb, now liv-
ing in Fort Lauderdale, es-
tablished one of his many
folAn4ations. This one was
at '0... college and it was
named the Good Heart

Award, a prize going to the
person who had exhibited
the greatest concern for oth-
ers.

NEW YORK — The 1976

launched at a three-day in-
ternational inaugural con-
ference beginning Thursday

nounced by Sam Rothberg,
general chairman of the Is-
rael Bond Organization.
Deputy Prime Minister
and Foreign Minister Yigal
Allon will deliver the princi-
pal address at the culminat-
ing dinner Feb. 28.
Ambassador Chaim Her-
zog, Israel's Representative
to the United Nations, will
speak at the Prinie Minis-
ter's Club and the Society of
Trustees of Israel Dinner
which will officially open
the conference.
The conference will focus
attention on the need to
widen the scope of the Israel
Bond drive this year to meet
a major share of Israel's De-
velopment Budget of
$1-billion in order to acce-
lerate the country's develop-
ment program.

No Jewish Deaths
in Guatemala City

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Reports reaching the State
Department and the Guate-
malan Embassy indicated
that the Jewish community
and Jewish institutions in
Guatemala City did not suf-
fer casualties or any serious
damage from the severe
earthquake that struck that
city last week.
Most of Guatemala's 1,-
500 Jews live in Guatemala
City, the capital of the Cen-
tral American country. The
Jewish structure closest to
the area of most severe
damage is the Sephardic
synagogue located less than
a half mile from the Na-
tional Palace and the Na-
tional Cathedral.

BUENOS AIRES (JTA)
L- Argentine journalists
have received leaflets signed
by the self-styled Argentine

state, including Jews.
The leaflet warned that
individuals will be liqui-
dated "whatever their na-
tionality, faith, race or in-
vestiture who respond to
non-fatherland, anarchist,
Freemason, anti-Christian
interests or those of inter-
national synarchic Juda-
ism."

U.S. Navy Erects

NEW YORK (JTA) — The

for use specifically as a syn-
agogue was dedicated and

Veteran Actor Lee J. Cobb,
Acclaimed for 'Salesman' Role

LOS ANGELES — Lee J.
Cobb, whose portrayal of
Willie Loman in Arthur
Miller's "Death of a Sales-
man," brought the actor
national acclaim, died Feb.
11 at age 64.

LEE J. COBB

arranged for Mr. Cobb's
visit for the premiere of the
film which, a year later, was
shown at the Jerusalem
YMCA.

Yohanan Aharoni,
Israel Archeologist

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Yo-
hanan Aharoni, the founder
and head of the Institute of
Archaeology at Tel Aviv
University and one of the
world's leading authorities
on the archeology of the
land of Israel, died Feb. 10
of cancer at the age of
Prof. Aharoni, who
said to have considered it his
personal mission to increase
the knowledge of Israelis
about their land, had re-
cently, despite his illness,
completed an extensive new
work on Israeli archeology
and had revised his classic
work, "The Land of Israel in
Biblical Times."
Born in Frankfurt, he
came to Palestine in 1933
and later was among the
founders of Kibutz
Alonim. He received his
Ph. D. from Hebrew Uni-
versity in 1955 where he
was also a professor of
archeology from 1959-68,
going to Tel Aviv Univer-
sity the following year.
Prof. Aharoni's excava-
tions included the explora-
tion of the Judaean caves,
the first Massada expedition
and excavations at Hador,
Ramat Rachel and Tel Arad.
He is the author of numer-
ous books, including "In the
Steps of Kings and Rebels"
and "The Land of the Bible,
Historical Geography."

Born Leo Jacoby in New
York City's Lower East
Side, Mr. Cobb, the son of a
compositor for The Jewish
Daily Forward, had a career
in theater and film which
spanned two decades. Be-
sides "Death of a Sales-
man," Mr. Cobb is credited
with roles in "On the Water-
front" and the television se-
ries "The Virginian."
A broken wrist ended
thoughts of a musical ca-
reer, and at age 17 he ran
away from home to pursue a
career in the theater. Un-
successful at first, he stud-
ied accounting at New York
University, but lost interest
and returned to the theater.
At 23 he joined the Group
Theater in New York where
he appeared in several plays
by Clifford Odets. He re-
ceived the script for
"Salesman" in 1949 and en-
joyed much acclaim and
success until the McCarthy
hearings of the 1950s.
Mr. Cobb, who at one
time was a member of the
Communist Party, testi-
fied as a government wit-
ness in the hearings, and
revealed that Party prac-
tices caused him to sever
ties with that group. Soon
after the trials, he suffered
a heart attack which al-
most killed him and left
him in debt.
His film credits in the
1960s include, "The Broth-
ers Karamazov," "12 Angry
Men," and "Don Quixote."
In November 1969 Mr. Cobb
returned to the stage to play
"King Lear," and was
awarded critical acclaim for
his portrayal.
Mr. Cobb was interested
in Israel's welfare and Par-
ticipated in activities in sup-
port of the Jewish state.
Five years ago, he came
to Detroit for a premiere
showing at Cong. Bnai
David of the Christian Bi-
ble Students' immense
filming of the projected
"Third Temple."
There was hope then of
his directing a film based on
the Christian Bible Stu-
dents' views stemming from
scriptural studies and pro-
phecies, but it did not ma-
terialize. Ken Wadde, one of
the Detroit leaders of Chris-
tian Bible Students, had
