Overall, Mrs. Spalter said
she "loved it," and would
encourage Jews and non-
Jews to see the exhibit.
Larry Wolfe, Israel Bonds
New Leadership Division
co-chairman, looked favora-
bly on the exhibit, but came
away with mixed emotions.
"I had a mixed feeling —
very happy and depressed at
the same time." He said he
was happy and proud to see
the work created by his co-
religionists, but sad because
of the "circumstances under
which it was received." He
said he was moved by the
entire exhibit and found the
tapestries "amazing."

Christians who had seen
the exhibit were equally
moved. Liane Jensen, a
nurse at Botsford Hospital
who visited the exhibit with
a group from the North Con-
gregational Church where
her husband is the senior
minister, found the exhibit
"sobering."
"Just seeing the pictures of
the warehouses made the
numbers of Jews killed by
the Nazis a little more con-
crete." She said she was im-
pressed by the "detail and in-
tricacy" of the handcrafted
items. "The true impact of
what a labor of love these
items are eludes us."
Mrs. Jensen said that The
Showroom by Appointment

Precious Legacy went be-
yond just being a museum
exhibit. She called it a gate-
way to providing an opportu-
nity for dialogue between
Christians and Jews.
Eleanor Tatreau, a
member St. Gerard's
Catholic Church in Detroit,
was inspired by the Torah
curtains. "The Torah cur-
tains are just beautiful and ,H
represent a lot of painstaking
care." She said the exhibit
"aroused a lot of pathos in
me," and added that it was
worthwhile seeing.
In conjunction with the
exhibit's run in Detroit, a
Sefer Torah traced to the
Prague Jewish community
and obtained from the
Memorial Scrolls Trust was
presented to Cong. Beth Ab-
raham Hillel Moses. The oc-
casion for the presentation I
was the dedication of the '
synagogue sanctuary which
had been destroyed by fire in
January 1983.
Meanwhile, Rabbi Richard
Hertz, rabbi emeritus of TJ
Temple Beth El, told The
Jewish News that one of the
Sifrei Torah housed at Beth
El also originated in Prague.
Group tours of The Preci-
ous Legacy exhibit can be ar-
ranged, and tickets are still

Jerusalem (JTA) — Defense

Wednesday that he anticipated no

in upper Nazareth, said the with-
