Composer’s Friendship With Solomon Leads to World Premiere of 'Codura’ Friendship between Conductor Izler Solomon and Elie Seigmaster will lead this Saturday night to the world premiere of “Codura” by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. Sharing the program with this first for Indianapolis will be Isaac Stern, who will be heard in Beethoven's violin concerto. Seigmaster composed his work as the music score for the current motion picture, “They Came to Cordura.” It was at the suggestion of Solomon that the composition was expanded into a full-length symphonic selection.
Where Does Responsibility LieTo Members or to Community?

without such certification, this does not neccessarily follow. Other factors may make the reverse actually true. WE GIVE you this instance only to indicate that both sides can be right when they argue on theoretical grounds, and both sides right when they point out the inadequacies of the other’s position. In at least one case however, we feel that Rabbi Greenfeld is wrong. This is when he asserts that the JEA will not be harmed by the withdrawal of students whose parents afe affiliated with Beth El. Julian Freeman is more realistic when he said that. the JEA’s budget may have to be cut in view of the decreased student body. SO IN EFFECT the Beth El action will damage the JEA. Mr. Freeman in his letter (P-O, Nov. 13) presented cogent arguments for the establishment of a Beth El school and then presented a program for Jewish education for Indianapolis, which would call for the setting up of a Bureau of Jewish Education. This is a program first suggested in this column some years ago. 15UT BET US see the difference in the methods proposed by Mi-. Freeman and this writer. Mr. Freeman is the great exponent of community planning, not alone in Indianapolis, but even more throughout the U. S. Jewish community. No one has ever elected this writer to an office, either national or local because of his great devotion to
the idea of community planning and community solidarity. Yet it was this writer who threw out the idea for a bureau of Jewish education which would emcompass within the purview of its work, not alone education for the young, but adult Jewish education, programming of our various Jewish organizations and every other avenue for increasing the Jewish knowledge of the Jewish populace. Our approach was one- calling for discussion and consideration which might lead to action upon the part of the community as a whole. MR. FREEMAN'S approach is not that at all. A bomb has exploded in the community, and Mr. Freeman at this point urges that the fragments from the explosion be put together into the form of a bureau of Jewish education. The point of this editor’s chair is not that Beth El does not have the right to establish its own religious school. It is an autonomous body, and it may do whatever its membei's decide. Our contention is that Beth El is not operated in a vacuum. It is a part of a proud Jewish community and has responsibilities to it, which it has always sought to assume. THE DISCUSSION will go merrily on, we are sure, as to whether Beth El can best discharge its responsibilities to its own members, to Conservative Judaism and to the Jewish community as a whole through a school of its own or through the kind of school which has been traditional in Indianapolis.
