JERUSALEM — Shlomo
Glickstein, rated the 29th
best player in the world by
the Association of Tennis
Players, is a sportsman in
both the modern and old-
. fashioned sense of the word.
The 24-year-old Sabra is a
jet-set professional whose
tennis skills have capti-
vated crowds and been
acclaimed by the public and
fellow players alike. Since
turning professional at the
start of 1979, he has risen
rapidly up the ladder of suc-
cess.
At the end of his first sea-
son he was 153rd in the ATP
ratings; he rose to 57th
place the following year,
33rd by the end of 1981 and
is now currently holding
29th slot. If he is to continue
improving his position,
Glickstein needs to reach
the quarter-finals of every
competition he enters. Now
the pressure is really on.
But the financial poten-
tial is enormous. Last
year Glickstein raked in
an estimated $120,000 in
prize money and
bonuses, and much more
in advertising endorse-
ment contracts. And this
year's earnings should be
appreciably higher, since
the tennis star has moved
into the top 30.
It was in 1980 that Glick-
stein rocketed to fame. He
won a grand prix title in
Hobart, Australia, was
runner up in the British
Hard Court Cham-
pionships, and at Wimble-
don won the Plate for
players defeated in the first
two rounds. In the main
Wimbledon competition it-
self he had beaten Mexican
ace Rael Ramirez before los-
ing to champion Bjorn Borg.
Unfortunately, at Wimble-
don in 1982 he again lost.
Born in Rehovot and
raised in Ashkelon, Glicks-
tein comes from a tennis-
playing family. His father
Moshe headed the Youth
Committee of the Israel
Tennis Association but as a
youngster Shlomo was
never entirely committed to
being a tennis pro. Friends
described the young Glicks-
tein as an intelligent boy
who could have been any-
thing he set out to be.
After his father's death in
1978, however, his mind
was made up. "I was deter-
" mined to honor my father's
name in tennis," he recalls.
At that time Glickstein
was still serving the last
of his three-year stint in
the army, which helped
him by stationing him
close to the Ramat
HaSharon Tennis Center.
It was the tennis center
that launched him on his
career with a loan that he
had already succeeded in
paying back by the end of
his first season.
Glickstein feels a special
affinity for the Israel Tennis
Center's program which es-
tablished the Ramat
HaSharon Center as the
first of its kind in Israel.
Today there are 65 courts at
seven centers all over the
•
SHLOMO GLICKSTEIN
country, catering to 85,000
children.
Glickstein regrets that he
can only spend several
months a year in Israel. One
of the moments most dear to
him was when he lit the
torch at last summer's Mac-
cabia games. He went on to
win the tennis cham-
pionships, but it was a hol-
low victory for him because
none of the world's other top
Jewish stars had bothered
to come to Israel to partici-
pate in the "Jewish Olym-
pics."
For the time being Glick-
stein's priority is improving
his game. However, his
service still remains weak
and he lacks aggression on
the court, a problem that
Glickstein's Australian
coach, Ron Steele, has
worked hard on. Steele
feels, however, that Glicks-
tein has overcome many of
his problems and is develop-
ing into a far tougher and
more determined a player.
Nevertheless, he ad-
mits that Glickstein is not
the type of person that
enjoys "murdering an
opponent."
Despite this, Glickstein
has defeated some of the
world's best players. He re-
cently beat the world's 18th
ranked player, Roscoe Tan-
ner and the 24th rated John
Sadri, thus taking the

It is not necessary to place
a mezuza on the door-post of
a synagogue. A mezuza is
required only for a door-post
of a structure used as dwell--
ing in which one eats,
sleeps, etc. Since techni-
cally one is not allowed to
eat or sleep in a synagouge,
a mezuza is thus not re-
quired.
In a synagogue hall
where people eat, or a study
hall (Beth Hamidrash)
where food is sometimes
served it is felt that a
mezuza would be required.
Some sources add to this
reasoning the fact that a
synagogue usually contains
a Torah. Thus, the words of
the Almighty are con-
stantly the center of atten-
tion in the synagogue and
there is no need to have
them on the door-posts as a
reminder.
A man with God is always
in the majority.
