Vanessa Redgrave Takes Jewish Role

Vanessa Redgrave whose continued support of the PLO has angered the Jewish community will make Jewish news again this fall when she plays the role of a Jewish musician in a concentration camp in CBS’s “Playing for Time.” The threehour drama depicts the experiences of an all-female orchestra forced to provide the gruesome music amidst the death and degradation of the camp. Arthur iYliller based the screen play on the memoirs of Fania Fenelson.

Her political beliefs were not a factor.”

A Success

The career of Peter A. Cohen, who at 32, holds a top post with one of the biggest brokerage and investment banking houses, is something phenomenal. He joined Shearson Hayden Stone as a securities analyst in 1971, became an officer two years later and by 1976 was elected a senior executive vice president and chief financial and administrative officer. But last year he left to join the Republic National Bank of New York, which is twothirds owned by The Development Bank Holdings of Switzerland. Then last month, at the urging of Sanford I. Weill, Shearson’s chairman, he was back in the driver’s seat at Shearson with the same titles he held before leaving.

The Resurrection of Richard Nixon — Rabbi Robert E. Goldburg, Congregation Mishkan Israel, Hamden, Conn.

Quotation Of The Week Today’s typology find the sanctuaries of the establishment to be mausoleums of cremated feelings. Congregant separated from congregant, pulpit from pew by prayers and sermons which, at best, touch only upon the public agenda and never the private. The Jewish school by extension offers little intimation that its students are part of an intimate community which cares about their personal lives, their interior being, not simply about the public features of the rites of passage, the public celebration of festivals. Such a typology needs a new response, but it must be from those concerned. There should be interdisciplinary groups to formulate a Jewish wisdom literature drawing from the classic texts for the Jewish family. It should deal with real life situations like separations and divorce, sickness and death, sibling rivalry and loneliness, anxiety and the search for meaning, sexuality and aging. New texts need to penetrate the Jewish home. Curricula must be addressed to the Jewish FAMILY and not just the children. As Franz Rosenzweig noted, “What we need more than ever, are human beings, Jewish human beings.” — Rabbi Harold M. Schulweis in The Pedagogic Reporter. *. vww.v v* v- * * . . « • .' " -
