Brains, Beauty to Combine for Women's Gala May 5
Entertainment and inspiration
will be provided in abundance
at the Gala Victory Luncheon it
was announced by Mrs. Leon
Frohsin and Mrs. Harold Levow,
co-chairmen of the Women’s Di
vision of the Jewish Welfare Fund
Campaign.
The Luncheon will be held on
Friday, May 5, 12 noon at the
Progressive Club. The Luncheon
will feature the Metropolitan Op
era Star, Miss Mary Curtis-Verna,
and Dr. Howard M. Sachar, dis
tinguished scholar and historian.
Miss Curtis-Verna, the interna
tionally acclaimed dramatic so
prano, and presently appearing
with the Metropolitan Opera, will
sing several arias which have won
her world-wide acclaim.
Born in Salem, Mass., of a mus
ical family, Miss Curtis-Verna
studied in Italy where her debut
in Milan was a resounding suc
cess. After appearing at all the
important European festivals, she
was lured back to the states
where she became the leading so
prano of the Metropolitan Opera
Association.
Not content with confining her
activities to opera, Miss Curtis-
Verna has toured the United
States regularly in concert, and
has also starred in musical com
edy and on television. Many
critics have commented that she
recalls the fabled prima donnas
of yesteryear, in her colorful
stage-personality, as well as her
blazing temperament, the versa
tility of her talent and magnifi
cent voice. She has also record
ed three complete operas as well
as records with Richard Tucker.
Dr. Sachar, who is well known
in academic circles, both in this
country and in Israel, is Profes
sor of History at George Wash
ington University.
Specializing in the history of
the Jewish people and Israel, he
was formerly the acting director
of Brandeis University’s Philip
Down Institute for Contemporary
Jewish Studies. He has also
served as director of Brandeis
University’s Jacob Hiatt Institute
in Israel, the first fully-accred
ited university program for train
ing American undergraduate stu
dents in the structure of the con
temporary Jewish state. In the
latter capacity, he lived in Israel
for six years, returning to this
country only last year.
Three of his books: “The Course
of Modern Jewish History,” “Ali-
yah, The People of Israel,” and,
most recently, “From the Ends of
the Earth,” have been enthusias
tically received by critics and his
torians, and have become stand
ard texts wherever Jewish history
is taught.
Dr. Sachar has lived and work
ed with Israelis of all back
grounds, native-born Sabras, im
migrants, Orientals, Arabs, Chris
tians. He has labored in kibbut
zim and in King Solomon’s mines
in the Negev desert, has explored
thoroughly Israel’s political and
security systems, its schools and
hospitals. He has lectured ex
tensively in the United States and
has become known as one of the
most articulate interpreters of the
State of Israel.
Invitations to the Gala Victory
Luncheon have been mailed to all
contributors of the Women’s Di
vision who have pledged a min
imum of $15 to the 1967 Cam
paign. The cost for the luncheon
is $3 per' person. Mrs. Henry Cap-
lan, Committee Chairman of the
Luncheon, urged those receiving
the invitation to send in their
reservations as soon as possible
since seating arrangements are
limited. She recalled that at the
first Gala Victory Luncheon,
held last year, over 400 women
attended and many who had not
made advance reservations could
not be accommodated. She urged
those who had not as yet made a
contribution or received an invi
tation to call the Welfare Fund
office (525-4825).

Congregation Passover Schedules
In Atlanta, as throughout the world, Jewish
housewives are stocking up on Matzo and other
Passover supplies and hoping the knaidlah will
be light. Heads of households will seek the
chometz. The youngsters are avidly praticing the
Four Questions and trying to determine in ad
vance the best place to look for the Afikomen.
These and other preparations for the Festival
of Pesah point up that this holiday is basically
a home celebration. However, synagogue ser
vices have their own important role to play and
special services are scheduled.
