44 Friday, November 1, 1980 THE DETROIT 'JEWISH NEWS Russian Defector to Play With DSO Next Weekend JDC Assembly Set for NY NEW YORK — The an- nual meeting of the Ameri- can Jewish Joint Distribu- tion Committee (JDC), the 66th in the long history of the esteemed social service agency will take place Dec. 9 in New York City. Some years ago I attended a concert by the brilliant young violinist Gidon Kre- mer in Vienna. I went back- stage to express to him my delight about the thrilling performance. In an almost perfect Ger- man, which is unusual for a Soviet artist, he told me that he was born in Riga, Latvia in 1947 and has been a master student of the in- comparable David Ois- trakh. Afterwards I met him often after concerts in Salzburg, Munich and again in Vienna and was always touched by his mod- esty and politeness. He could leave Russia only with special and limited exit permits. The fees he earned, and they became quite considerable, had to be sent directly to the Rus- sian State Agency of Cul- ture. When I asked his Vien- nese representative whether he would appear in the U.S. for Jewish audiences, she answered, "Maybe later." I thought of bringing him to the at- tention of leading Jewish organizations. In the meantime, Kremer became one of the foremost violinists of our time, as recognized and appreciated as Yitzhak Perlman and Pinhas Zukerman. Kremer has performed in COOLIDGE AT 9 MILE RD.

Novick paid tribute to the late Dr. Emanuel Neumann, twice president of ZOA, a former chairman of the World Zionist Organization, American Section and past president and founder of the World Union of General Zionists, who died last month. In a message to ZOA members, American and world Jewry, Novick said: "Dr. Neumann played a major role in every aspect of Zionist life in the pre-state days of the British mandate. He was the architect of the complex strategy that was victorious on the political front and thus brought about the restoration of Zion in our day. As he him- self noted, Dr. Neumann was one of the actors in the historic Zionist drama. "For more than 25 years, Dr. Neumann, to- gether with the revered statesman Dr. Abba Hillel Silver and other Zionist leaders, repre- sented the Jewish com- munity in international negotiations as well as in By MARGUERITE KOZENN CHAJES ESQUIRE TWO MEAT TRAYS FROM DAIRY TRAYS FROM ZOA President Pays Tribute to Late Zionist Neumann • LUNCHES • DINNERS • AFTER THEATER SNACKS & SANDWICHES COCKTAILS TIL 2 a.m. Your Hosts: JACK & GARY COCHRAN 4108 W.
