joined the program, and .Mr.
Mintz, who by now traveled
with his own custom-made ar-
chery bow and arrows, agreed

INSTALLATION and SERVICE

At the course's end, violinist
and teacher Professor Itzhak
Rashkovsky and Coach
Lachter compared their
evaluations of each partici-
pant. lb their astonishment,
both were in complete agree-
ment on each individual's
progress. Those who had ap-
plied themselves and improv-
ed in archery made similar
progress in their violin play-
ing. Those who had taken a
half-hearted approach to one
manifested the same ap-
proach and results in the
other. "It is not enough to
practice for 10 hours a day,"
says Professor Rashkovsky. "A
violinist must have physical
ability and stamina."
Italian violinist Andrea
Cappelletti, who regularly at-
tends Keshet Eilon, and
always carries his archery
case next to his two
Stradivari violins, agrees:
"Over the last two years, I

have found archery to be the
best way of attaining both
mental and physical alert-
ness. It's a whole attitude. I
take as much pleasure in hit-
ting a bull's-eye as in hitting
a true note on the violin."
Word on this experiment
and the results to date are
drawing international in-
terest in both music and ar-
chery circles, with sponsor-
ship of a study being con-
sidered by an American
manufacturer of archery
equipment. Friends and sup-
porters of Keshet Eilon,
meanwhile, are raising funds
for scholarships, instruments
and the construction of profes-
sional music facilities at Kib-
butz Eilon.
One of the greatest
testaments to the professional
level of the program was
evidenced recently when one
of its regular participants,
Russian immigrant Vadim
Gluzman, 18, was the
featured soloist at the
Jerusalem Symphony Or-
chestra's season opening.
"Zen masters, whose lives
are directed toward a search
for harmony, use archery to
attain this state of being,"
says Mr. Weinstein. "We
believe our integration of the
uses of the bow will achieve
the musical harmony to
which we aspire."

Montreal Rabbi
Sentenced For Drugs

Montreal (JTA) — In a case
that has stunned the Jewish
community here, a Montreal
rabbi has been sentenced to
five years in prison for traf-
ficking in cocaine and heroin
and on related con- spiracy
charges.
Rabbi Meyer Krentzman,
49, received the sentence re-
cently along with a Sri
Lankan man, who was
sentenced to three years on
similar charges. A third man
in the case, Andor Galen-
dauer, was scheduled to re-
appear in court on a later
date.
Mr. Galendauer, a vol-
unteer at the Beth Zion
Congregation in the Mon-
treal suburb of Cote St. Luc,
was said to have been a
member of the Jewish
Defense League.
When the three were ar-
rested at Mr. Galendauer's
place of business, police
found semi-automatic
weapons and tens of thou-
r sands of rounds of am-
munition in his possession.

The three men were ar-
rested in January after sell-
ing drugs to an undercover
police officer.
The story of the January
arrests of Rabbi Krentzman
and Mr. Galendauer made
headline news in Canada,
New York and Israel.
Rabbi Krentzman has held
executive-director posts with
several Jewish organiza-
tions, including the Cana-
dian Zionist Federation, the
Jewish National Fund and
the Jewish Education Coun-
cil.
Rabbi Krentzman is well
known in the Jewish corn-
munity here. One source
said the rabbi had been
despondent in recent years
that he could not earn
enough money to support an
expensive lifestyle.
Quebec Court Judge Yves
Lagace was particularly
harsh in his comments to
Krentzman during sentenc-
ing, saying the rabbi had
"lost the respect of the peo-
ple of your community." ❑
