SARA’S COLUMN By SARA MESSING STERN

A WEEK’S HONEYMOON ON THE ISLE OF CAPRI! This fell to the lot of Lt. Jessie Levin, the bride, and Lt. David Bernstein, the groom! They were married the latter part of May by the army chaplain in Naples, Italy. There were bridesmaids, a maid of honor and a best man, a bridal gown and veil, a “choopah” (hnd the leading cantor of Naples made it a lovely wedding! The bride is a daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Sam Levin, 2822 Central avenue, and a sister of Mrs. Douglas D. Brown. She is a dietitian in a station hospital in Italy. The groom is a former Indianapolis man who was living in New York City at the time of his induction. And, to cap the climax, Dr. Bennet Kraft, a brother of Philip Kraft, was present at the wedding. Major Kraft’s wife and 3-year-old daughter live at the family residence here, 7025 Washington boulevard. Major Kraft has been overseas since May, 1943. * * * MRS. SIMON L. KISER INFORMS ME that the E. M. K. initials on the menu of the Wineman-Snewind wedding mentioned in this column on May 19 belonged to Emanuel Kahn, whom everyone called “Manny,” a son of the Leon Kahns, pioneer residents of the Indianapolis Jewish community who lived on East street just north of New York street. Mrs. Kiser also adds two names to the L. L. L. group written up in the column on June 9. Mrs. Kiser said that Mrs. Sol Hays and Mrs. Simon L. Kiser were adipitted to memmership when one member moved away and another died. * * * TEN YEARS AGO, on June 10, a friend of the then Bertha Brown dressed three dolls, a bride, a groom and a maid of honor, down to the last detail. They turned out to be a beautiful set and were presentd as a loving gift to be placed on the wedding cake when Mark P. Klain and Bertha Brown were married. It was the first marriage, by the way, solemnized by Rabbi David Jacobson after his graduation from the Hebrew Union College when he came as assistant to Rabbi Morris Feuerlicht. The sequel to the story of the dolls is that they were used on the tenth wedding celebration by the Klains as a table centerpiece. The handwork is exquisite and the dolls are in perfect condition. The Klains received informally on their anniversary, and more than fifty friends called to congratulate them. Rabbi Jacobson, who performed the ceremony is now located in San Antonio, Texas. * * * LT. CHARLES B. FEIBLEMAN, who recently landed in Italy—he is in the field service-—was reading a letter from home when someone came up in back of him, put his hands over Lt. Feibleman’s eyes and asked: “Who is it?” And the lieutenant answered: “Sonny.” And it was he. “Sonny” is the nickname of his first cousin, Lt. Isadore M. Randolph, who is with the infantry. Lt. Feibleman had been told “Sonny” was “somewhere in Italy.” Lt. Randolph is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Randolph of New Castle, Pa. Mrs. Philip Randolph is the former Gladys Grohs of Indianapolis, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Isadore Grohs, New York street residents of the olden days and a sister of the late Henrietta Grohs Bowman. Philip Randolph is a brother of the late Ella Randolph Feibleman, mother of Charles. Lt. Feibleman and Lt. Randolph have had an evening and later a part of a day together in which to talk about the dear ones at home. * * * CONGRATULATIONS to Isadore H. Katz and his parents and to the Louis Strashuns on the engagement of Isadore to the charming niece of the Strashuns, Jacqueline Winkler of Chicago. Jacqueline’s mother is a sister of Mrs. Strashun and has been a frequent visitor in Indianapolis. * * * CONGRATULATIONS to Mrs. Samuel Alpert, who on June 9 celebrated her fiftieth birthday. She has lived in Indianapolis 29 years and she and her husband will have been married 28 years on September 3. The Alperts have a grocery at 983 West 21st street and there is a saying that has endured through the years: “No one in need comes away from the grocery or the Alpert home (at 4013 Boulevard Place) empty-handed.” I never knew a warmerhearted, more generous personality. If cakes are needed for the U. S. 0. at Kirshbaum or for the Old Folks’ Home, if food has to be cooked, if money is needed for a good cause, back on Mrs. Alpert. And she makes you feel you are doing her a favor by asking her. She is a member and board member of the Joseph and Anna Boriirstein Home for the Aged, a member of the Eastern Star and on its cheer committee, a helpful worker for the Masonic Old Folks’ Home at Franklin, Ind., a member of Hadassah, chairman of the ways and means committee for the Denver Home for Children 1 on the membership committee, a member of Beth El, Knesses rru' uud the Central Avenue congregations. In fact, she is a woman of real service to our Jewish community. * * * CHARLES SUDRANSKI, 16-month-old son of Capt. and Mrs. Herbert Sudranski is already deeply religious! On Friday evenings, when the candles are lighted and the Sabbath prayers are recited, he puts his little hand on top of his head and very solemnly his little lips move in devotions. * • * MAMIE BASS TOLD ME A GOOD ONE on the former Corinne Horwitz. Corinne was very young and naive when she worked in the old Chamber of Commerce building for some man who got out
