MONTREAL’S
EXPO ’6 7
By HENRY W. LEVY
(Seven Arts Feature)
MONTREAL, Canada—Jew
ish visitors to Expo ’67 which
opens in Montreal on Friday,
April 28th, will be proud of, the
extent and quality of Jewish
participation in what in pre
view seems to be the most ex
citing exposition ever held in
the western hemisphere. Un
like the recent New York’s
World’s Fair, which was a
source of disappointment to
Jewish viewers, Expo ’67 has
two beautiful Jewish buildings,
an Israel Pavilion and a Pavi
lion of Judaism sponsored by
the Candian Jewish Commun
ity. And what seems most pro
mising is the fact that neither
of these buildings will be mar
red by the commercialism that
was so apparent at the unof
ficial Israel building at New
York’s Fair.
Among the highlights of Jew
ish interest at the Montreal
exposition will be the display
of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the
Israel Pavilion, the perfor
mance of a musical comedy,
“The King and the Cobbler,”
by Tel Aviv’s Cameri Theatre,
during the week of May 15-20,
and pages from the original
diary of Anne Frank at the
Jewish Pavilion. Then, of
course, there will be the offi
cial visit to the Expo by Presi-
i/Ttent Zalman Shazar, which
willN>e on Israel Day, May 23rd.
Almough I *have not seen the
interior of either the Israel Pa
vilion or the Pavilion of Juda
ism, I can testify as to the
beauty of the exterior archi
tecture of both buildings.
Essentially rectangular in
shape, Canadian Jewry’s Pavi
lion of Judaism will be located
on the lie Notre Dame, over
looking the St. Lawrence Sea
way. Built with white concrete
panel, and topped with a cop
per covered dome, its outside
walls are decorated with He
brew inscriptions. Its inverted
elipses rise slightly above the
level of the flat roof. Natural
light in daytime is provided
by full length windows at the
four corners and the dome. In
all, it is a triumph for Mon-'
treal architect Harry Stilman.
The Israel Pavilion, even
more modern in design, has
walls of a three-dimentional
crystal pattern, with a roof in
sharply angled sheets — all
formed of white fiberglass
panels on a steel frame. Its
basic. wails resemble the play
building that so many Ameri
can children have built wjt,h
the rectangular wooden blocks
that have been a part of our
educational toys these many'
yegrs. At night, the building
will have an attractive glow,
the result of the fiberglass be
ing partly translucent.
The Israel Pavilion is also
on the lie Notre Dame, next to
the Pavilion of Greece—almost
as though linking the two an
cient cultures, and near the
impressive building of Great
Britain. The Israel Pavilion
has two upper floors and a low
er level containing a sunken
Bibical garden, a restaurant
and an auditorium. In charge
of the exhibit as Israel
missioner General wirj^Bae
Yaacov Yannai, assisted b^Lt.
Col. Dov Sinai, Israel’s Consul
General in Montreal since 1965
as his deputy and Amram Zur.
head of the Israel Government
Tourist Office in London, as
director of the Pavilion. Hos
tesses, who will speak French
and English, as well as He
brew, will wear a new navy
blue suit created by El Al.
With Expo ’67 dedicated tc
the theme, “Man and His
World,” > the. exhibits of both
Canadian Jewry and Israel
will be in accord with the
theme, as expressed by the
French poet, Antoine de Saint-
Exupery: “To be a man . . .
is to feel that through one’s
own contribution one helps to
build the world.” Expo ’67
translates this into an effort
