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. • Electronics IN THE NEW DRAKE SUMMIT SHOPPING PLACE DRAKE AT WALNUT LAKE RDS. 661-5630 VIDEO CASSETTE RENTALS AND SALES CLUB MEMBERSHIP $19.95 EXPIRES DEC. 11, 1983 ONLY 90 SECONDS NORTH OF THE J.C.C. 5550 DRAKE RD., WEST BLOOMFIELD, MI 48033 - MONDAY-SATURDAY 11:00-7:30 SUNDAY 9:30-3:00 VISA' WALNUT LAKE ROAD VIDEO ELECTRONICS N W I E JCC MAPLE ROAD THE INSTANT BEDROOM Multiply the uses of your existing space.
