HENDERSONVILLE — In an
inspiring setting in the North

senting 30 chapters from 7
Southeastern states, gathered at
Camp Blue Star to participate
in a United Synagogue Youth
Leadership Training Institute

September 23
The Institute leaders sought
through many lexciting techni
ques to provide the campers
with a greater knowledge of
Judaism and a renewed enthusi
asm for U.S.Y. which they
could take back to their individ
ual chapters in the form of bet
ter leadership. Morning seminars
under the guidance of rabbis
were devoted to an intensive
study of The Ten Command
ments with emphasis on the
ethical concepts of Judaism

Among the highlights of the
week, according to Jerald Udin-
sky, president of the Atlanta
Chapter, was the privilege of
sitting on a grasy hillside above
the lake "and hearing Ehud Ben

to the editors of the Atlanta
papers have been loud and voci
ferous, condemning and criticiz

ed by abstract paintings, almost
to the exclusion of more tradi

a feeling of awe the Sabbath
services conducted in their en
tirety by the campers, all dress
ed for the occasion in white. He
said, "I think many rabbis would
be envious of the total participa
tion of the entire congregation
of LTI campers.”
The adult advisors and leaders
were: Rabbi and Mrs. Kenneth
Bromberg, Oakridge, Term.; Rab
bi H. H. Friedman, Mobile; Mrs.
Esther Block, Miami; Rabbi
Samuel Lerer, director of the
Southeast Region U.S.Y.; and
Ehud Ben Yehuda, Hebraist, lec

In fact, we whittled and whittled

objective art as contrasted with
the majority being abstract or
modern.
Kris Kringle Spector (Mrs.
Julian Spector) is among the
twenty Atlanta artists whose
work was selected by the judges.
Her painting, “Portrait of Nan
cy,” has the added distinction
of being in a traditional style
Mrs. Spector describes her work
as “a study in tone, texture, color
and feeling, non-photographic,
but realistic in manner.” As she
says, “Who can resist a painting
of a pretty little girl in a pink
dress?”
Recognition for Mrs. Spector's
work dates back to the selection
of an eighth grade work by the
Art Institute of Chicago, for an
exhibit of children’s art. She
was awarded a merit certificate
by the Association of Art Stu
dios in Chicago, her work was
included in a group of outstand
ing commercial artists selected
by the National Society of Art
Directors, New York, in the At
lanta Paper Co. 1957 Painting of
the Year Exhibit, and in at least
three other S. E. Exhibits.
Mrs. Spector is the daughter
of Mr and Mrs. David Krengel
of Chicago. Her father is widely
known for his work in the Jew
ish community of Chicago which
has honored him on many occa
sions. In 1956 Chicago Zionists
gave a dinner in his honor for
his work done for the Jewish
National Fund and for the Zion
ist cause in general. On this oc
casion a mile of trees were
planted in his name in Israel.
She is the wife of Julian Spec-
tor, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Spector.
