36 Friday, July 29, 1983 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Wallenberg Birthday Demonstration NEW YORK — A "71 balloon" salute and a mas- sive birthday cake — both "symbols of life" — will be among the highlights of a public observance in New York next Thursday to mark the 71st birthday of Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish diplomat who saved an estimated 100,000 Hungarian Jews during World War II and then dis- appeared after being ar- rested by Soviet forces in 1945. The birthday party will take place opposite the United Nations headquar- ters. The Soviet govern- ment contends that Wal- lenberg died in a Soviet prison in 1947, despite the release of 14,000 pages of documentation by the Swedish government last summer which maintain that Wallenberg is still alive in Soviet custody. Sponsored by the Raoul Wallenberg Committee of the United States and the (Women's Clubs). Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith, the observance will begin with a wreath- laying ceremony at the Holocaust Memorial Wall on Dag Hammarskjold Plaza to honor those whom Wallenberg was unable to save. The participants will then proceed to the Isaiah Wall in Ralph Bunche Square, across from the UN, for a public vigil followed by the cake-cuttinkand the re- NE GBAH SHALOM- CHAI CHAPTER, Pioneer Women/Naamat, will meet noon Wednesday in Suite 205-E Kristen Towers.

Officers of the Mothers Club of the Jewish Commu- nity Center recently joined with Club Two of Pioneer Women/Naamat to-present a check for "Spiritual Adop- tion" to the Greater Detroit Council. The spiritual Adoption program provides support for children in Naamat day/night homes in Israel. These are children who have been referred to the facilities by the Department' of Social Welfare due to neg- lect, abandonment or abuse. The support given to this program by Pioneer Women/Naamat in the U.S. supplies half of the funds "My Michael," directed by JWB to Distribute Israeli Feature Films in America NEW YORK — Five full- length Israeli films have been made available for dsitribution by the Jewish Media Service of JWB. The films are all in Hebrew, with English sub-titles. "But Where Is Daniel Wax?," directed by Avram Heffner, is about a suc- cessful doctor and a singing star who come to a high school reunion and look for Daniel Wax, the popular hero of their class. The film emphasizes the importance to Israeli life of relation- ships and social groups formed during childhood. "My Michale," directed by Dan Wolman, is an artistic rendering of novelist Amos Oz's work about growing tensions between a young couple. As Michael becomes more enmeshed in his studies as a doctoral stu- dent, Hanna feels increas- ingly isolated. They fail to find the bond that once joined them. "Paratroopers" is a film commentary di- rected by Yehuda Judd Neeman on the struggle of a nation to build a disciplined, effective military that reflects the civilian values it claims to defend. Military service in Israel is observed through the inter-action of a tough career officer and an unstable recruit. In Yaki Yosha's "Rockin- ghorse," an Israeli-born ar- tist, Shmuel Kraus, strug- les to find his "lost r m- ise" in the Promised Land. After living in the U.S., Shmuel returns to Israel to make a film about his par- ents. "The Wooden Gun" is a powerful film set in 1950 and directed by Ilan Moshenson. The movie fo- cuses on two rival gangs in Tel Aviv. Their behaviq and their views of heroism, honor, nationalism and friendship raise hard ques- tions not only about Israel's past but its present.
