ing sponsorship, uniforms, and
last week's visit by the all-star
team. Elitzur divided its squad
for the games at Southfield's
Thompson Middle School, so
that each unit played two
shortened games. The
19-member Elitzur delegation
also visited the Holocaust
Memorial Center and
downtown Detroit during their
visit here, which is part of a
nine-city U.S. tour.
Rose said all the members of
the Elitzur team were 18 years
old "and theoretically some of
them could be in the Olympics
in a few years. We were told
that some of them are playing
professionally now in Israel."
Another Israeli pro, former
U.S. college star 'Pal Brody, gave
a coaching clinic to the Akiva
team during a Detroit visit
several weeks ago.
In spite of the hefty Elitzur
competition, the Akiva team
has a six win, eight loss record
for 1987, playing a schedule of
alumni teams, Hillel Day
School, AZA chapters and an
intramural team from
Southfield-Lathrup High
School. Rose hopes to keep fin-
ding games for his team
through May, and plans to play
the Detroit Maccabia team
which is being formed now for
the regional youth games in
Cleveland in August. Maccabia
coach Burt Hurshe served as
referee for the Elitzur contests
here.
Akiva's team is captained by
Michael Selesny, and includes
Gab i n Hertz, No am
Koenigsberg, David Rosenberg,
Joel Finkelman, Danny Na-
jman, Jeffrey Traurig, Jason
Subelsky, Joel Starr, Micha
Zwick, Yaariv Misgav, Sidney
Katz, Donee Posner, Geoff Ber-
dy, and Jeffrey Goodstein, who
was named to the all-
tournament team in New York.
Coach Rose is assisted by Joey
Selesny.
"Our Record is only 6-8," Rose
said, "but last year all we did
was go to Chicago to play one
game. I never thought we'd
come this far:'

Habimah Invited
To Hungary
Tel Aviv (JTA) —
Habimah, the Israel National
Theater, has been officially
invited to perform in
Budapest, and the Hungarian
National Theater will come
to Israel later for perform-
ances at the Habimah Thea-
ter building.
The invitation to Habimah
was extended by the director
of the Hungarian Ministry of
Education's Cultural Affairs
Department to Habimah ar-
tistic director Omri Nitzan
and actor Avraham Ronai
during their visit to Hungary
as the guests of the Hunga-
rian National Theater.
The Israeli group will
probably visit Hungary in
September or October, during
a Habimah tour of Europe
during which they will per-
form at theatrical festivals in
Copenhagen, West Berlin and
Belgrade.
Interfaith
Amity Urged
New York (JTA) — The
Episcopal Bishop of Washing-
ton, D.C., speaking on the
"unfinished agenda" between
Christians and Jews, has
called it "critical" that mem-
bers of both communities go
"beyond the level of simple
interfaith services" and seek
truly to understand and re-
spect each other's faith. They
must do this, he said, not
only for the sake of harmony,
but to "strengthen the integ-
rity of both Christians and
Jews."
Pointing to a specific
example, the Right Reverend
John T. Walker urged Chris-
tians not to support so-called
"Hebrew Christian" groups
such as "Jews for Jesus."
