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.

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."
