seconds and cutting the rib-
bon a couple of times (extra

director of JCC,' whose un-
ending cooperation is so very
much appreciated by the
energetic and very enthusias-
tic board members.

monies ... in memory of
Hank Greenberg.

BEN "BENITO" ROTH,
here visiting sister Frieda
and husband Jack Drapkin,
and brother optometrist doc
Morton Roth, left Detroit 24
years ago and founded the
little Jewish community in
Majorca off coast of Spain ...
It had only 60 Jewish people.
Daughter Francisca, who is
now a sophomore at Michigan
State U., was named at Tem-
ple Israel here ... Rabbi
Leon Fram said he was going
to Belgium for the World
Jewish Congress and wanted
to stop for a few days in
Majorca.
Knowing he was coming,
Ben received permission from
the government to have serv-
ices in July 1966.
Rabbi Fram conducted
Majorca's first public Jewish
service in 500 years.
Today, services are held
regularly ... and no permis-
sion is needed.
There are now 150 in
Majorca's Jewish community
... with services held in the
Hotel Santa Ana.
Too bad not even a plaque •
or synagogue has been put up
in Rabbi Fram's honor.
Ben started with the
Majorca Daily Bulletin at it's
beginning 24 years ago ...
writing a daily column,
"Who's News" by Benito.
