Rothberg School Ready
For Dedication Nov. 26
At long last, the Rothberg
School at Ramat Ha Sharon ia
ready for dedication.
Atlanta philanthropist Sam
Rothberg is planning to make
the trip on November 23 for the
November 26 ceremony.
Mr. Rothberg who has contri
buted the $250,000 school through
the United Jewish Appeal in
memory of his parents has made
several trips to Israel in conjunc
tion with the building.
A group of his close friends
in Atlanta accompanied him last
fall for the official cornerstone
laying. Prior to that he had been
on hand for ground-breaking
ceremonies.
Now the facilities, already in
use, are ready for the full-dress
event.
Mr. Rothberg’s sister, Mrs.
Leonard H. Gidding of Plain-
field, N.J., will accompany him
on the charter El A1 flight. Any
of his friends who may wish to
go along should contact him for
the special rates available.
Ben-Gurion Gives
Bible Lectures
On 82nd Birthday
SDE BOKER, Israel (JTA) —
Scores of friends and admirers
flocked to this tiny desert town
last week to pay tribute to David
Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first Prime
Minister, who celebrated his 82nd
birthday by lecturing on Biblical
subjects at the Sde Boker school.
Mr. Ben-Gurion, a widower
now and at least officially out of
politics, spent the day among
close friends of the Bible Circle
which used to meet in the Ben-
Gurion’s Tel Aviv home or In
the Jerusalem home of the late
Itzhak Ben-Zvi when the latter
was Israel’s President.
Later, speaking in the school
which overlooks the grave of his
wife, Paula, Mr. Ben-Gurion dis
coursed on Moses, David and
Elijah. Moses was right, he de
clared, when he said that the
Jews are a genuine and unique
nation.

Once Visited South
Alfred Wolfmann, author of
the perceptive article on page
seven, was a visitor to Atlanta
in June, 1964, on a cross-country
lecture. His talks dealt with
“Anti-Semitism in Post War Ger
many, Life in Germany Today,
German Youth, and the Eich-
mann Trial.”
Born in Berlin, Wolfmann fled
to Palestine with his mother in
1938. His father escaped through
Belgium to England, where
though a Jew, he was interned.
After the war, the family was
reunited and Wolfmann began his
career in journalism in West

While in Atlanta, Mr. Wolf
mann visited the offices of The
Southern Israelite and related
some of the experiences of his
tour to staffer Vida Golc^gar.
