The HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL CENTER will assure the acquisition, study and maintenance
of historical materials, as well as provide for creative programming that will ensure the preserva-
tion of the memory and lessons of the Holocaust.
YENTL is based on Isaac Bashevis Singer's tale of a young Jewish woman in turn-of-the-
century Poland whose passion for the study of Torah leads her to break with the traditional
woman's role and the conventions of love and marriage.

Those men, mostly
fathers of grown children
look at the young girl who
speaks Hebrew with an
American accent with ad
miration. She teaches them
with much knowledge, and
teaching and psychological
know-how.
There are young women
officers, who came a few
years ago with their
families from the Soviet Un
ion. They train young Is-
raeli recruits who were born
in Israel or are immigrants
from the U.S. They soon find
a common language with
the recruits.
Yael Marcus, a girl with
big eyes and a blond
ponytail, is one of the few
girls in the world who has
passed the officer's artillery
course.
Yael is 20 years old and is
today the chief instructor at
the Artillery School. She
teaches young officers the
theory and practical aspects
of using artillery. Yael also
writes manuals.
We asked Yael how the
men in the course have
treated her. "They got used
to me," she answered with a
smile. Another question
was how she managed to
overcome the physical dif-
ficulties of the course.
Yael answered, "It is a
difficult course, even for
sturdy men. But I suc-
ceeded, because I had
high motivation. I de-
cided to succeed and not
to remain ashamed. I was
interested in the written
material as well as the
exercises and not in the
military rank which I
would get after finishing
the course successfully."
Yael said her male stu-
dents accept a woman in-
structor as a natural thing.
"I have reached my position
and prestige as commander
in the school owing to my
activities in the school dur-
ing the course of 18 months
and practical exercises in
the field," she said.
The artillery units had
great success in the Leba-
non war and were decisive
in many battles. They had
special success in the bloody
fighting in "Sultan Jacob."
German-Jewish
Exchange Lauded
BONN — American lead-
ers of Bnai Brith Interna-
tional, meeting with West
German Chancellor Helmut
Kohl, former Chancellor
Willy Brandt and other
government and political of-
ficials, have called for an in-
crease in exchange visits to
improve contacts and un-
derstanding between the
German people and Ameri-
can Jews.
Completing a two-week
mission as guests of the
Federal Republic, David M.
Blumberg, Bnai Brith hon-
orary president and head of
a six-man delegation, said
that access to a wide spec-
trum of the population "has
enabled us to gain signific-
ant insights into conflicting
problems facing the Ger-
man people."
Here a unit of Israeli tanks
was under heavy fire from
Syrian rockets and suffered
great losses. The same hap-
pened in the fighting
around the roads to the Sy-
rian part of Mt. Hermon.
Owing to the accurate fire
of the Israeli artillery, the
Israeli units succeeded in
getting out of difficult situa-
p
tions during these battles.
During the Lebanese war
the prestige of the artillery
units rose dramatically.
A visit to the school in
which Yael Marcus is one of
the commanders shows how
the soldiers are being
trained to use the most
modern technological
means.
