war; describes how the conflict engulfs
Europe; covers the sacrifices of battle;
and moves through the correspon-
dence between a German soldier, who
finds a picture of a fallen Frenchman's
family, and the soldier's widow.
"There's a lot of hard work in
putting these musicals together, but
we enjoy being together dramatically
and musically," says Rose. "There's a
lot of camaraderie."
A doctor who plays the piano as a
special interest, Rose also directs the
chorus and has been invited to lead a
New York choir for a special presenta-
tion at the synagogue where his
daughter is a member. A guitarist also
will be part of the performance.
Although most of these musicals are
performed only once, response to a
show about former students at Detroit's
Central High School brought a large
demand for tickets and a second staging.
"This really is a program expressing
feelings for the community of
Humanistic Jews," Rabbi Kolton says.
"The people who are performing have
a passion for what they are doing."
Giving the script a personal connec-
tion is the reference to William Line,
who survived the horror at Gallipoli in
the Dardenelles and the second battle
of the Somme, where he fought along-
side his wife's three brothers, who all
lost their lives in the first day of battle.
"Daphne Line Schiff is my sister-in-
law," Landau explains. "Her father was
born outside of London and enlisted."
During the two weeks of rehearsals,
performers stay busy learning their
lines and the music.
David Kreiger remains energetic as
one of the performers.
"This is an exhilarating opportunity
to express ourselves," Kreiger says.
"We learn about the music we're per-
forming, and we love the fellowship.
I've gotten to know a lot of the people
who are in the singing group."
Landau sees the play as an overture
to the establishment of Israel as a
Jewish state.
"In the dreary aftermath of it all, a
hope emerges for the Jewish soldiers of
the British army who fought with
Allenby in the liberation of Jerusalem
from the Turks," Landau says. "That's
the origin of an eventual Jewish home-
land lost for 2,000 years." ❑

The Lost Moment of Peace will

Temple, 28611 W. 12 Mile,
