WHERE EVERY DAY IS SALE DAY W 7 Mile At Lodge X-Way By RABBI MARC TANENBAUM (A Seven Arts Feature) Passion plays focusing on the crucifixion of Jesus are emotionally potent dramas. Too often these plays, in- stead of arousing repen- tance in Christians, have instilled hatred and con- tempt for Jews and Judaism. The Oberammer- gau Passion Play, per- formed every 10 years in Bavaria, West Germany, is the most famous — or in- famous — of these dramas, so anti-Semitic in its impact that it was praised by Hit- ler.

More than 500,000 people are expected to view the Oberammergau Pasion Play in 1980, many of them Americans. Trips to Oberammergau are being offered by uni- versity alumni associa- tions, including those of Michigan, Colgate, Wis- consin and Pennsyl- vania, and by profes- sional associations as well as religious organ- izations.

The U.S. is involved mainly because the new plane, like the Kfir, will be equipped with an American-made engine. Israel, therefore, will re- quire American permission to market the plane abroad. If this is denied, the unit cost of producing the air- craft will be much higher than otherwise. Israel also will try to ob- tain permission to produce many of the American- made engine components at home on a license arrange- ment.
