played and Berris was coach of the two
U.S. masters basketball teams.
Berris' teams took the silver and the
bronze medals in the five-team competi-
tion. While the silver-medal team beat
eventual champion Maccabi Tel Aviv in
a preliminary game, it lost by 20 in the
championship game when Tel Aviv had
all its national players present. Fishman
played on the bronze-medal team.
Berris walked into the opening cere-
monies with player Todd Schayes of
Denver, nephew of NBA great Dolph
Schayes. At Berris' suggestion, Schayes car-
ried a sign that said he wanted to marry an
Israeli woman. Schayes created a sensation
in the Israeli press, and received 6,000
telephone calls during the Games. ❑

hooted their way through the show,
which included belly dancers, the Israel
Defense Force choir perforniing disco
numbers and a helicopter bearing the
Maccabiah flame from Teddy Stadium.
In return, the athletes were thanked and
applauded for their decision to compete.
"We're grateful to the athletes,
because without them we wouldn't have
had the Maccabiah at all," said Oudi
Recanati, chairman of the Maccabi
World Union and one of the sponsors
of the 16th Games, which were short
ened to seven days from the usual 10.
Despite the low turnout and some
unusual competitions — in some
events every team won a medal,
because there were only three teams —
it seemed that the significance of this
year's games was that they took place
at all during such a tense and trying
time for Israel.
"The very fact that the 16th
Maccabiah was held, against all odds,
is a tribute to the Jewish people of the
world," Recanati said.
