Two authors with deep
roots in Detroit will be
among the featured speak-
ers during the 27th annual
Jewish Book Fair at the
Jewish Community Center
next month.
At 10:00 a.m. Nov. 13,
David Rosenberg, author of
"Lightworks," "Blues of the
Sky," "Job Speaks" will
speak on "Who's Afraid of
the Bible (and Its Jewish
Poetry)?
The first contemporary
American poet to interpret

the Bible, Rosenberg has
been a book and magazine
editor as well as a teacher of
writing at York University
in Toronto and at the City
University of New York.
Rosenberg gives many
readings from his work
(which includes 10 books)
across the country and has
often been a visiting poet-
in-residence. He has been a
Graduate Fellow in Poetry
at Syracuse University and
at the University of Esses in
England. Rosenberg is orig-
inally from Detroit and now
lives in New York City.
Esther Broner will
speak at 8 p.m. Nov. 14 on
the topic "In the Begin-
ning There Was Woman."
Her latest novel, "A
Weave of Women," is a
weave of tales, and the tales.
are those of a commune of
Jewish women in Israel.
They share a stone house in
the Old City, they come to-
gether from everywhere,
they share much more than
the house.
They create new cere-
monies for themselves:
ceremonies of birth, mar-
riage and death; of exor-
cism, excommunication,
and exodus. As they speak
to each other of the rituals of
their lives, so the novel
speaks to everyone of the
exultation of human exist-
ence.

Prof. Broner is a playw-
right and novelist, author of
"Her Mothers." She teaches
English at Wayne State
University.
Her Book Fair talk will be
co-sponsored by the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee, the
American Jewish Congress,
and the Anti-Defamation
League of Bnai Brith.
Belva Plain will speak
at Book Fair 1 p.m. Nov.
13. Ms. Plain is the author
of "Evergreen," a best-
selling novel about Anna
Friedman who comes to

RUTH GRUBER

BELVA PLAIN

the century from a Polish
shtetl.
Belva Plain has pub-
lished many stories in na-
tional magazines.
The title of her talk is
"The Myth of the Jewish
Mother."

Ruth Gruber's topic at
Book Fair will be "What
Does It Mean to Be A
Woman of Israel?" Her
latest book is "Raquela:
A Woman of Israel."
In researching her book,
Ms. Gruber spent nine
months in Israel getting to
know Raquela Prywes, a
ninth-generation Jeru-
salemite. But more than
that, she learned from
those who were intimately
involved in the establish-
ment of the state of Israel
and are the leaders of today.
Thus Raquela mirrors the
life of her country, its
triumphs and tragedies
from birth to maturity. Like
her country, Raquela's own
history is marked by love,
joy, and sorrow.
Ruth Gruber is the author
of five books on Israel and
has been a correspondent
for the New York Herald
Tribune. In that capacity
she covered the story of
Exodus 1947. Ruth has
made 29 trips to Israel and
is well acquainted with all
the places in which Raquela
has lived and worked, living
through some of the same
experiences herself.
Ms. Gruber will be speak-
ing at 10 a.m. Nov. 14 as
part of Hadassah Education
Day.
The afternoon speaker
that day will be Joseph
Borkin, author of "The
Crime and Punishment of
I.G. Farben." He will
speak at p.m., and the
title of his speech will be
"Hitler, Carter, Israel
and Oil."
One of the most unusual
and startling stories of the
Third Reich — and one of

JOSEPH BORKIN

the strangest corporate his-
tories of all time is the true
account of the unholy al-
liance of Adolph Hitler and
I.G. Farbenindustrie, Ger-
many's great chemical com-
bine — an alarining look at
the military-industrial
complex run wild.
It is a little-known tale of
industrial evil. -
Borkin was the chief of
the patent and cartel sec-
tion of the Anti-Trust Di-
vision of the Department of
Justice and was responsible
for the wartime investiga-
tion and prosecution of the
Farben dominated cartels.
He has since maintained a
private law practice in
Washington, D.C.
Borkin is the author of
numerous books and arti-
cles, the chairman of the
Federal Bar Association's
Committee on Standards of
Judicial Behavior, and a
lecturer at the Catholic
University Law School. He
is also director of The Drew
Pearson Foundation.

Golda Improves

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
"considerable improve-
ment" was reported in the
condition of former Premier
Golda Meir, hospitalized in
Hadassah Medical Center.

slaughtered without blood
