THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Terror Victim's Work on Display
NEW YORK — "Spoon-
bills," "View from Mount
Nebo," and "Hula
Waterscape" are among the
33 color photographs made
by naturalist Gail Rubin,
which will be one exhibit at
the Yeshiva University
Museum through June 15.
Ms. Rubin's work, which
was tragically halted on
March 11, 1978 when she
was shot down by terrorists
while working in Israel, re-
presents a peaceful spirit,
involved in the process of
artistic growth.
The prints which include
her earlier representational
renderings of birds and
other natural subjects, as
well as the abstractions
with which she had begun to
experiment, reveal a deep
sensitivity to color, form,
and structure.

According to the Interna-
tional Council of Jews from
Czechoslovakia, the
London-based Czechos-
lovak Jewish Aid Trust,
which has been sending
books to the library, in-
quired and was told that the
library space was needed for
the distribution of Passover
matzot and wine.
