Most recently, Cohn went to Jerusalem for the pre- mier of his Oscar-winning epic of two years ago, "Black and White in Color," in its entirety shot in the Ivory Coast in Africa. A number of members of Israel's Knes- set attended the screening as a tribute to Cohn who in 1971 produced the Holocaust picture, "The Garden of the Finzi- Continis," dealing with the ancient Jewish community of Ferrara, and was directed by the late Vittorio de Sica. It is being told that Menahem Begin, upon se- eing the film, commented, If Arthur Cohn became a film producer just to make this movie — Dayenu." DAVID STEINBERG appears in a documentary feature, "Yiddish, the Mame-Loshn." The noted comedian who made himself a name both on the night club stage and on such na- tional TV outlets as the "Tonight" show, now quickly is branching out into the field of motion pic- tures. He has also guest- hosted many times for Johnny Carson before mak- ing his movie debut in such films as The End," opposite Burt Reynolds and "Some- thing Short of Paradise," in which he co-stars with Susan Saradon.

Israeli Soccer Star Avi Cohen Will Play for Champion English Team Liverpool By SIMON GRIVER World Zionist Press Service ,AeliWZA Nlirr , JEWELERS AL Belt Currently associated with Universal Studios, he has just completed his own screenplay, "Sex in America," which he will di- rect early next year. He is now preparing to direct and star in "How the West Was Shrunk," from a scenario by Robert Kaufman, to be filmed in Canada this fall with Carol Laure (of "Get Out Your Handkerchiefs") as his co-star. As to his current film, "Yiddish, the Mame- Loshn," he comes up with the mischievous observa- tion that he learned the language the best way: whenever his father or mother wanted to curse him, it always came out in Yiddish. TONY CURTIS, the former Bernie Schwartz and son of an Orthodox immig- rant from Hungary, went back to the land of his an- cestors — not only to pray at the Western Wall in Jerusalem but also to make a picture in Eilat, a Canadian-French-Israeli production of "It Rained All Night the Day I left" — termed a swashbuckling adventure story set in mod- ern Africa. The character portrayed by Curtis is a gun-running mercenary who doesn't want to grow old and always chases rain- bows.

Perhaps the most remarkable individual achievement has just been accomplished by 22-year- old soccer player Avi Cohen, whose club Maccabi Tel Aviv has been paid $400,000 by English cham- pionship Liverpool team, for his transfer. Liverpool has been the English champion four times in the last six seasons and European champion twice in the last three sea- sons. Cohen is the proverbial tall, dark and handsome and at 6 ft. Tin. and 160 lbs. an athlete par excellence. Asked about his childhood, Cohen said: "I am not quite a Sabra, for I arrived in Israel from Egypt with my fam- ily, when only a year old. I grew up in the Abu Kabir district of Tel Aviv-Jaffa. We were poor and life was very tough, but we got by. My father delivered milk from the dairy to the shops and as a small child I used to get up at four every morning and help him for a few hours before attending school. I think my early childhood gave me a sense of discipline, which is very necessary in soc- cer." AVI COHEN "When did you start play- ing soccer?" "When I was nine years old, I joined the Maccabi sports club in Tel Aviv. I al- ways represented the club's soccer team for my age group and when I was 17, I signed professionally for them." "How did you react when you first heard that the Liverpool team was in- terested in you?" "I couldn't believe it, it was like a dream." Now Cohen must confront the reality of this dream. At Liverpool, he will only be allowed two weeks vacation each year, which means vir- tual exile from home for him. Still, at least he will not be alone, for he will be taking with him his new- lywed bride, Dorit Rosenblum, a pretty, 18- year-old Sabra of Romanian parentage. I suggested to Avi, that while it may be difficult to tear himself away from Israel now, in the long term he may feel at home amidst the affluence of the West. "No, I have only one home. This is my country, I have served three years in its army and this is where I will always want to live. I am an Israeli. I hope to play for five or six years in Europe, then a fewyears in America and after this I will return to Israel. These are my plans." "Does the Liverpool team manager Bob Pais- ley want you to perform the same role for him, as you did for Maccabi Tel Aviv?" "Yes, with Maccabi Tel Aviv I played in the middle of the field, more in defense than attack, breaking down the opposition's attacks and creating opportunities for our own forwards. Paisley hopes I can do the same for Liverpool." Dialogue Held NEW YORK — Southern Baptist and Jewish clergy participated in a five ;day seminar on issues of mutual concern in North Carolina earlier this month. Educators and lay people took part in the discussions co-sponsored by the Anti- Defamation League of Bnai Brith, the Department of Interfaith Witness of the Southern Baptist Home Mission Board, the Wil- dacres Center and the Blu- menthal Foundation.
