AJCC Schedules Annual
Meeting on March 21
“AT HOME AT CENTER”
DISCUSSIONS
Rabbi Abraham Ohrenstein
will continue his discussion - of
the Chassidic movement within
Jewish life, Sunday, March 19,
at 8:15 p.m. in the Adult Lounge
Last Sunday’s discussion dealt
with the economic and social
conditions in Poland during the
17th century which gave rise to
the movement. Rabbi Ohrenstein
described the motivations and
feelings of the Jewish communi
ties in South Poland, at that
time, and their eagerness to
grasp the teachings of the Baal
Shem Tov. The discussion also
dealt with the movement of Sab-
batai Zvi and Rabbi Luria, with
the subsequent leanings toward
the Besht. The Zaddiks who were
self seeking practitioners of
magical healing and spper na
tural powers, who took advant
age of their followers, were also
emphasized.
Rabbi Ohrenstein also told of
the conflicts with the more learn
ed and prosperous communities
in the North which emphasized
learning and knowledge rather
than emotional ecstasy.
This Sunday’s discussion will
deal with the Vilna Gaon and
his teachings, in addition to the
contributing elements which have
contributed to the beliefs and
practices of Modern Jews in the
20th century. Admission is free,
refreshments will be served and
a question and answer period
will follow.

well-known Hassidio folksinger,
known as the Jewish Elvis Pres
ley and Johnny Ray combined,

ment to this afternoon a special

entertainment at the AJCC is

Teen-agers are especially in
vited to join in the fun.
SHLOMO CARLEBACH
HASSIDIC SINGER
ON ARTS SERIES
Shlomo Carlebach, Hassidic
folksinger often called the “Pipe
of Piety” makes verses really
sing. He is making his appear
ance in Atlanta as the second
performer of the Center’s 1961
Jewish Arts Series.
Shlomo is a unique pheno
menon who immediately entra
nces his audiences in wild eyed
adulation. Not only do the audi
ences accompany him, clapping,
tapping, harmonizing, but they
practically submerge the soloist.
“Let me sing it by myself the
first time,” he pleads over and
over again.
Carlebach confesses that, “Five
years ago I didn’t begin singing
at New York’s Town Hall,” and
his confession hardly comes as a
surprise. Five years ago, he was
the spiritual leader of a small
community in New Jersey. To
day, he is one of the most popu
lar and sought after performers
on the Jewish scene, and his
performance is unique in many
ways. He has just made his
second recording and returned
from a second European tour.
(He is still assistant rabbi in
his father’s West Side Synagogue
in New York.)
Rachel A. Rabinowicz states
in the National Jewish Post and
Opinion that “Observing Carle-
bach’s Town Hall dobut, one
realizes that the ability to pass
ionate participation is the clue
to and the keynote of his suc
cess”.
What are Sholmo Carlebach’s
songs? Not the folksongs in
the conventional sense, but brief
prayer passages or Bible verses,
set to melodies of his own com
position. And what are these
melodies? Mainly monotooic,
rhythmic and increasingly rhap-
s o d i c repetion. He acknow
ledges his debt to the Negro
spiritual which streak his min
strels with moments of deep-
toned melancholy, and to the
exuberant influence of Israeli
music. But his chief inspiration
has been the fire and fervor of
the Chassidic circles in which he
has spent his life, for among
Chassidim, music is a matter of
mood and mood is a means to
achieve soaring ecstasy.
This Lubavitcher Chassid gui
tarist maintains that “From
studying the guitar I have come
a few steps nearer to my Father
in Heaven.” Rabbi Carlebach is
a descendant of a long line of
notable rabbis Vkj scholars and
feels that he has found his func
tion and his fulfillment in this
form of expression. He has ap
peared in almost every major
city in the United States and
Canada, and only last month
played to a standing room only
crowd at the 92 St. “Y”.
Admission to this exciting
event is $1.25 and tickets may
be purchased at the Center or
at the door. The program, under
the sponsorship of the Adult Ac
tivities Committee, is scheduled
for Sunday, March 26, at 8:30
p.m., in the AJCC Garson Audi
torium. There will also be a
special concert for teen-agers
only, that same afternoon at 3:00
p.m. Admission for teens is 25c.
PRE-SCHOOL
DISCUSSION GROUP
On Tuesday, March 28, at 8:15
p.m., Dr. Richard Ward, psychi
atrist, will discuss a vital phase
of family relationships. His topic
“Mommies and their Substitutes”
will be the third in a series of
family living discussions present
ed by the Parents’ Group of the
AJCC Nursery School. The meet
ing is open to all parents of pre
school age children.
Academy Theatre to
Present Comedy
“Misalliance,” Shaw
The Academy Theatre will
present “Misalliance” by George
Bernard Shaw as their next pro
duction. The play will open
April 1 and will run April 2,
5,7.8, and 9.
This play, one of Shaw’s most
extravagant comedies, is a witty
investigation of the relationships
between parents and children.
The play is set in the home
of John Tarelton, manufacturer
of Tarelton’s Underwear, and
author of the pamphlet, “The
Romance of Business, or the
story of Tarelton’s Underwear.”
Action proceeds in a hilarious
romp in which girl chases boy.
Shaw has an aeroplane crashing
on Tarelton’s home; an aeroplane
piloted by a female aviator who
is carrying on her family tradi
tion by risking her life at least
once a day. And as if Shaw felt
that he had not made this group
of people incongruous enough, he
introduces Tarelton’s illegitim
ate son in an assassination at
tempt centering about a por
table turkish bath.
Sydney Walter directs. Admis
sion is $2.00. Reservations may
be made by writing the Academy
Theatre at 1429 Peachtree Street
or calling TR 4-6682.
