JAPs and
Jewish mothers
I am more than pleased
that you have printed the
article by Beverly Davis
concerning JAPs and
Jewish mothers. It is time
that the stereotype of the
Jewish woman as a Jewish
American Princess by
erased from the Jewish
community.
It is surprising that the
community so sensitive
about a Jewish caricature
has done nothing about this.
Too many Jewish women
actually are not hesitant to
label themselves "Jewish
American Princesses."
They seem to think it ex-
cuses them from expecta-
tions of accomplishment in
their personal, domestic or
intellectual life.
Hopefully the article here
will help to bring this mat-
ter to an end.

The second erroneous
statement in the article re-

services until we beseech a
stranger from Lincoln Rd. to
complete the minyan. In the
almost two years we have
had our minyan, at no time,
ever, did we have to go beg-

stranger. Thanks to the
wonderful nucleus of reg-

exceed the required number
needed for a minyan. The

they come to pray in the

"Keeper of the Sephardic
Flame" (Aug. 3). I have re-

about the Sunday services

pray the regular weekday
services on Sunday morn-

Our dream, in accordance
with the dream of our foun-

services will be conducted
on a daily basis in the true

this will guarantee the per-

Sephardic heritage.

Survivors are
sought for film
On May 2, 1945, Ameri-
can soldiers occupying
Ludwigslust broke into an
unexpected group of bar-
racks and found, among
piles of corpses, huddles of
emaciated prisoners, some
of whom survived.
One of these survivors,
Tibor Hirsch, a professional
filmmaker, is planning a
documentary film to com-
memorate the 40th an-
niversary of the liberation
of that Nazi concentration
camp, Wobbelin, near Lud-
wigslust. As part of his re-
search, he seeks to speak
with other survivors of that
camp, whom he has not seen
since the day of liberation or
never knew.
They may respond to
Hirsch or to me, at THT
