Uhe pleasure of your company is kindly requested at the aventy-seventh Anniversary Banquet of Alva Hebreo Day School New York, Los Angeles and Norfolk, Va., so far, Mrs. Freudenheim said. She hopes to get the funding to make this possible. Eventually, the materials will become part of the JWV archives, which documents "the involvement of Ameri- can Jews in all American wars;' said Herb Rosenbleeth, the JWV's national executive director. These items from the Per- sian Gulf are just the latest affirmation of the contribu- tions Jews have made to the U.S. military since the American Revolution. The JWV was founded in 1896 to combat the belief that Jews did not serve in the armed forces and that their patriotism was suspect. The exhibit demonstrates that Jewish military par- ticipation continues to be an honorable endeavor, accor- ding to Mrs. Freudenheim. "Of the people who sub- mitted (materials), only three wanted to remain anonymous," she said. "The rest were so proud to be in- cluded." ❑ General Warns Against Iran Tel Aviv (JTA) — Israelis have been warned by their highest-ranking military leader that Iran now poses' the greatest menace to their security, including a nuclear threat. That was the judgment ex- pressed by the outgoing Israel Defense Force chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Dan Shomron, in his final television inter- view as an active officer of the IDF. Gen. Shomron formally handed over the ac- coutrements of his office to his successor, Lt. Gen. Ehud Barak, in a series of rituals and ceremonies that ended a 35-year IDF career. Gen. Shomron said the damage done to Iraqi forces in the Persian Gulf war altered the military balance of power in the region. He explained that the battering of Saddam Hussein's army as it was driven from Kuwait deprived Syria, a sworn enemy of Israel, of strategic depth. That, plus the end of the "Soviet umbrella" over Damascus, reduced Syria's immediate threat to Israel, Gen. Shomron said. But it also removed a check on Iranian ambitions and the spread of the Ira- nian-led Islamic revolution, he warned. honoring Joan Leon Moskovitz and 6--) Morris Novetsky for the establishment of the Ruth Moskowitz 5u0aica eihrary Sunday, April 21, 1991 Visit us at ART EXPO Jeviish Community Center April 7.17- 7 Iyar 5751 — Congregation Shaarey Zedek 27375 Bell .Road • Southfield, Michigan Control V Yo-Yo Man Dinner: 6:30 p.m. Cocktails: 5:30 p.m. Honorary Chairpersons general Chairpersons Sy Dr. Mrs. fawrence foewenthal Dr. 6-) Mrs. Jerome Kasle Enter the world of bronze sculpture metaphors Patron Chairmen Banquet Arrangements JERRY SOBLE • SCULPTOR Mr. Abraham Selesny Dr. Benjamin Wolkinson Karen Nussbaum Shifra N Zwick Available in 1/3 lifesize, 2/3 lifesize and lifesize Detroit (313) 683-4364 New York City (212) 254-3788 Chicago (708) 433-1229 Sarasota (813). 383-8921 PERSONAL ATTENTION TO -- Couvert: $250 per couple Black tie optional • O CORPORATE GIFT SOLUTIONS presents a Sensational TRUNK SHOWING OF SPECIAL OCCASIONS & BRIDAL JEWELRY by CRYSTALARE JULES R.
