Reform Rabbi's Opinion Of'The Tenth Man'Low

By HERMAN BROWN NEW YORK (P-O) — “Everyone is entitled to his own opin ion” was -famous dramatist Paddy Chayefsky’s only comment to criticism levelled at his current Broadway hit, “The Tenth Man, ’ by Rabbi Alexander A. Steinbach, chairman of the National Jewish Book Council, and a prominent Brooklyn Reform rabbi. Rabbi Steinbach took particular exception to the depiction of the “old shul” and the Orthodox rabbi in the play. “Some of the characters in his play are more like comic puppets than they are like real human beings one meets in the synagogue,” Rabbi Steinbach told The POST and OPINION. “And even in squalid neighborhoods “shuls” have dignity.

The Orthodox “shul” in the play is without dignity. And I have never seen an Orthodox rabbi such as the one in the play.’/ Rabbi Steinbach paid tribute to Chayefsky's “theatrical gen* ius,” and conceded that the plafy* wright “effectively pointed to the aridity in modern life, with its confusion of prosperity and success with happiness. Chayefsky is correct in stating that society is incomplete without a spiritual element. And that there is a “dybbuk” in man’s soul which must be exorcised. But the play itself does not have beauty or spirit.” Asked if he considered the play anti-Jewish, Rabbi Steinoach commented that “the play is not anti-Jewish, but it is certainly not pro-Jewish. That is its failure.”

This Week In New York HASIDIC FESTIVITIES ARE FASCINATING FARE

Each year since 1950 the 10th day of Shevat has ever increasingly become known as a day of Hasidic festivities in New York. This acclaim, though unofficial, is recognized by the pilgrimmage made by hundreds of Jews to the Hasidic center of the Lubavitchers in Brooklyn, where the Lubavitcher Rebbe leads the annual yortzeit celebration of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe who passed away ten years ago. The festivities start right in the morning, when an escort of busses and private automobiles drive to the old Montifiore cemetery where the late Hasidic leader rests. There the Lubavitcher disciples say prayers, the Rebbe himself spends well over a half a day on behalf of the thousands of Hassidim from all over the world, conveying their prayers to God. Visitors to New York would witness something of an unusual ceremony during this day, on Monday, Feb. 8, which continues in the form of an all night Hasidic celebration, with the Rebbe reciting Hasidic- philosophy and the singing of Hasidic songs. Colorful dances of modern Israel will be performed by dance groups from 13 Jewish youth organizations at the ninth annual Israel Dance Festival to be held at Hunter College Assembly Hall, on Sunday. There will be an afternoon performance at 2:40 and one in the evening at 8 o’clock. The Dance Festival is being EXQUISITE GIFT ITEMS ISRAEL HOUSE 8 West 28 St. LE 2-8320 For the finest collection of Israel arts and crafts

Dance groups from the following organizations will participate: B’nei Akiva, Betar, Dror-Hecha-lutz Hatzair, Nationad Fed. of Temple Youth, Student Zionist Organization, United Synagogue Youth, Young Judaea and Young Zionist Organization of America.
