Chatham County Metro Drug
Squad agents Jack Levine and
Karl WatBon “raided" the
Savannah Jewish Educational
Alliance February 42, and their
drug dog “Blits” sniffed out
more than $75,000 worth of il
legal drugs in the building.
The “raid" was -part of a 50
minute program sponsored by
AZA 1621. Tony Eichholz, a
- chapter member, coordinated
the event, which was widely
publicised in area newspapers,
and on radio stations.
Hie illegal drugs had been
hidden in a meeting room by
the detectives prior to the
meeting, attended by about 60
AZA, BBG, and others, in
cluding parents and friends.
“Blits” found the drugs within
seconds after being given in
structions by Levine, his trainer.
A specially trained German
“sniffer," “Blits” and Levine
attended courses in drug detec
tion, tracking and attack. The
78-lb. dog will only take com
mands from Levine and those in
German. The $12,000 invested
for the dog and training has been
recovered many times over, the
detective said, as more than $1.3
million worth of heroin, cocaine,
marijuana, and other drugs have
been seized during cases when
“Blitz” has found drugs on Am-
track trains passing through
Savannah.

When Temple Beth El in Bain
bridge was dedicated December
19,1916, fewer than 25 Jews liv
ed in the city. Today the small
synagogue on the corner of
Broad and Evans Streets has a
membership of 40.
It hasn’t grown tremendously
since then, but the dedication of
Temple Beth El’s members
remains. In November, they
celebrated the 70th anniversary
of the dedication with a dinner.
Rabbi Donald Tam of Temple
Emanuel in Dothan, Ala., was
the speaker.
Temple Beth El’s present
spiritual leader, Rabbi Charles
Lesser of Albany, is only the
seventh rabbi in the temple’s
history. Before the temple was
built, services were held twice a
month in the Elk’s home on
Water Street. The first religious
services began in 1909 when
Rabbi Edmund A. Landau of
Temple BKai Israel of Albany,
conducted services.
W. H. Krause headed the first
building committee for the tem
ple, which was built through
donations from non-Jews as well
as Jews.
The eternal light, which still
burns in the temple, was first lit
with a prayer by Max Nusbaum.
In the period of the temple’s
existence, 12 men have served as
president Today Jake Wolffe
