THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

is also in the forefront in
pushing for a reduced U.S.
federal budget deficit.
The defeat of Democratic
Representative Clarence Long
of Maryland represented a real
setback for Israel. As chairman
of the House Appropriations
Subcommittee — Republican
Bob Kasten of Wisconsin, who
is Chairman, and Democrat
Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, the
ranking minority member. They
recently returned to Washing-
ton from a visit to Israel. They
again can be expected to take
the lead in pushing for the
economic and military aid
packages for Israel.
In the end, however, the
bottom-line decisions made by
Reagan, Shultz, Weinberger and
company will have the most
immediately-felt impact on
Israel. A string of Middle East
visitors — beginning with
Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin
on Jan. 28 and followed by King
Fand of Saudi Arabia in Feb-
ruary and President Mubarak of
Egypt in March — will try to
shape their views. For everyone
concerned, the stakes are high.

Music Month

New York — "Celebrating the
Sephardic-Oriental Tradition"
will be the theme of Jewish Music
Season, to be marked from Feb. 2
to April 26, undei—the national
aegis of the JWB Jewish Music
Council.(JTA) — Jewish Music
Season will highlight the richness
and diversity of a little-known
tradition — Sephardic-Oriental
music — and will widen the musi-
\ D cal horizon of thousands of Jews
through special events, according
to Leonard Kaplan, of the JWB
Jewish Music Council.
"It will also open the door to the
tremendous diversity of Jewish
music in synagogues, Jewish
Community Centers and schools,"
Kaplan said.
The 15-by-20-inch poster
heralding Jewish Music Season
was created by New York artist
Eugene Karlin. It, features three
Sephardim (two men and a
woman) playing music on an oud,
a stringed, wooden instrument
somewhat like a lute; a tzilal, a
tambourine-like instrument, and
a kinnor (David's harp).
Two, full-color Jewish Music
Season posters will be part of the
1985 Jewish Music Kit from JWB
that will also include a Resource
Guide on Sephardic-Oriental
Music by Neil W. Levin, in-
structor of music at Hebrew
Union College-Jewish Institute of
Religion and the Jewish Theolog-
ical Seminary of America, and an
issue of Medium devoted to
"Rhythms of Jewish Life," pub-
lished by the Jewish Media
Service-JWB.
The kits, designed to help com-
munities plan programs and cele-
brations during Jewish Music
Season, are available from the
