Jewish Content Missing from Jewish Theater By HUGH ORGEL (Copyright 1982, JTA, Inc.) TEL AVIV — The several hundred participants from Israel and abroad who attended the first interna- tional conference and festi- val of Jewish theater in Tel Aviv in early July, and took part in or heard the semi- nars and workshops, left the meeting asking the same question with which they started. They were still asking themselves, and each other: "Is there a Jewish theater? If so, what is it? And why?" It was a week of rich fare by local and foreign — mainly American and British — stage groups with presentations and dis- cussions on Jewish and theatrical themes. But there was general agree- ment that it was difficult to pinpoint the specific Jewish content of most of the works offered. Two stage groups in- cluded in the program — a West German group which was to present what was described as "A Hasidic evening," and the Jewish State Theater in Poland, which was bil- led to present a two-actor work, "The Clock Above Our Heads" based on a story by Katzetnik about the destruction of a town in World War II — cancel- led at the last minute be- cause of the war in Leba- non. The stage presentations from abroad, mostly with small groups of two or three actors, without stage decor, included from the U.S. a travelling Jewish theater's program, "Coming From a Long Distance," "The Last Jewish Poet" and "A Dance of Exile." The American Jewish Theater presented Arthur Miller's "The Price" while the American Jewish Repertory presented "The Mexican Village Restaurant Presents Loves of Shirley Ab- ramowitz." All received lukewarm reviews by Is- raeli critics. "Letters from K" by the London Cafe Theater was based largely on some let- ters written by Franz Kafka to his fiancee Felice and was picked out by the critics as an example of the misuse of the term Jewish theater. Both Kafka and his fiancee were Jews but there was lit- tle Jewish content to their communications, apart from a vague reference to "a visit to Palestine." The second half of the show was a monologue by Kafka about his interest in a group of Yiddish actors who visited Prague. The critics and news- paper columnists showed far greater interest in an Anglo-Irish production of "James Joyce and the Israelites," first pro- duced in London last March and scheduled to be presented in New York in the spring of 1983. This work — a "stylized reading" presented by Julua Pascal and written by Belfaster Seamus Finne- gan, who taught for four years at the Jewish Free School in London before taking up full time play- writing — could also be de- scribed as "Jewish theater," but only with difficulty. It was written as part of the James Joyce centenary cel- SOLERO De ESPANA Second Level in the Flamenco Supper Club 3 Shows Nightly 8, 10, 12 Aug. 13, 14 RESERVATIONS PLEASE: 237-0333 Entertainment Every Week • Dining • Dancing 2600 Bagley Corner 18th %- $3 Cover Open Ti I 4 a.m. he met and who befriended him in Dublin, Trieste and Switzerland, apothesized in Leopold and Molly Bloom.

In reality, not that many people lived in the entire area now under Israeli con- trol. Yet, the search for exact information has proven somewhat elusive. Latest statistics show victims to- taled less than 500 dead and approximately 1,000 wounded. Some 30,0.00 Palestinians and 20,000 Lebanese were left home- less. Their re-housing before winter is the greatest single problem faced by the Israeli civil aid unit, according to Brig. Gen. David Maimon.
