Glickstein Comes Close And Gets Advice

The quarter final defeat of Shlomo Glickstein, Israel’s tennis star who is making his way not too slowly up the ladder in the tennis world, was a heartbreaker since the score was 6-7, 6-7 in the New South Wales open tennis championship against New Zealander Russell Simpson in Sydney, Australia. In both sets, he had set point, but still came out loser. On his way to the semi-finals Glickstein, who has been a pro only for 18 months defeated Argentinian Jose-Luis Clerc, who ranks in the first ten in the world. Glickstein got some advice from two of his co-religionists, Harold Solomon and Eliot Teltscher. Solomon suggested that Glickstein’s 185 pounds were to heavy for a player five feet 11 inches tall, and Teltscher suggested that the Israeli lacked the killer instinct.

The Rabbi Is A Salesman Rabbi Stephen Forstein, of Sioux Falls, S.D., the lone rabbi in that state, finds it possible to add to his income while aiding isolated Jewish communities in South Dakota by selling light bulbs. This involves him in travelling throughout the state in his spare time. “I’m out to sell a product, be it light bulbs or Judaism, and I make no bones about it — I’m selling Judaism,’’ he said. On one of his trips, this one to Pierre where only six Jewish families live, he was able to perform a briss, the first ever in that town. Only 600 Jews live in the state out of a total population of 680,000.

WORLD TITLE FQR UNDER 12S— Israeli under 12 years of age tennis players Seem to have a corner on the world championships in that class as Max Osheroff, above, duplicated the win of Gilad Bloom in the same tournament in Caracas, Venezuela, last year. Bloom could not compete this year since he is now 13 years old. Osheroff teamed with Bloom last year to capture the doubles crown. This year Boaz Merenstein and Raviv Weidenfeld took the doubles honors in the under-10 class. The fourth member of the Israeli team, Dalia Coriat,

was runner-up in the girls’ under-12 singles.

The 10-Gallon Hat When the visiting delegation of six Congressmen from Texas and Oklahoma, led by Dallas attorney Harry Shoenman, presented Prime Minister Begin with a $150 stetson hat they brought along for the occasion, he demurred and refused to pose for the photographers. But not President Sadat. He obliged for a joint picture wearing the m-gailon headgear. Shoenman heads the Texas ADL.

No Apologies Necessary There was no patronizing, as usually is true when reviews of performances of atrists who are past their prime are published, in the case of the recital at Carnegie Hall by Jan Peerce, who now is 76 years old. John Rockwell reviewing the concert in the New York Times reported that “Mr. Peerce’s singing was in sober fact more than just an old man conjuring up memories. Through some combination of good health, sound technique and luck, Mr. Peerce is singing quite remarkably well — better than a number of tenors one could think of who presently assay his old Peerce parts on New York’s operatic stages. He is audibly past his prime, but he can still make a genuine musical statement, with no apologies necessary at all.”

Swimming Record A record we doubt any Jewish Community Center can equal was established by Mrs. Dorothea M. Farr, of Vestal, N.Y. a the Jewish Community Center pool in Binghampton, N.Y. A center member for five years, she swims four days a week year round. In January 1975 Mrs. Farr, then 58 years old, began swimming six lengths of the pool per day. At the completion of 1 year she had built her endurance up to Vi mile or 36 lengths per day. At the completion of her second year she was swimming 1 mile or 72 lengths per day in 45 minutes. Through regular attendance and constant drive, she is five years later at age 63, the first JCC member to complete 500 miles or the equivalent of 36,000 lengths of the pool.

Sermon Of The Week Has Feminism Liberated Jewish Men? — Rabbi Alan Bregman, Temple Israel, Duluth, Minn.

The Boxing Judge One of the judges in the Sugar Ray Leonard victory of Robert Duran was Mike Jacobs, of England, who at the age 41 has risen to the very top in this phase of the boxing profession. The British insurance broker has handled European title fights, but this was his first performance in a world title bout.

Bicycle Tour Of Israel Four years ago Aaron Bisberg put out $1,000 to advertise in bicycling publications a bike tour of Israel, which has since become an annual event. This year seven veteran cyclists joined the 16-days of touring under their own horsepower at a cost of $1,875. Bisberg, now a spry 59, operates a bike shop in Armonk, N.Y., and provides the mechanical knowhow when problems arise, plus arranges for a minibus and driver who is the guide. Along were Richard Katz, a veterinarian from Gary, Ind., doing his second year in a row; Frank Ridge, an insurance salesman from Virginia; Wayne Probasco, a Topeka, Ks. lawyer; Liz Waldo, a retired teacher from Moosejaw, Canada ; Marvin Tannenbaum, a Chicago computer programmer; Dan Scharfman, a graphic artist from New York City; and the group’s self-styled “sex-symbol,” Nancy Akin, a free-lance editor. Starting from Haifa, where Bisberg’s daughter lives, the group made their way via Daliat elCermel to the caves of Rosh Hanikra, then a gruelling up-hill grind to Safad, followed by the downhill sprint to Tiberias, thence up the steep climb to the Golan, down to Mitzpc Ramon in the Negev, and through the Arava to Dizahav. From there only Bisberg and Katz made it to Sharm e’Shiek.

Israeli Soccer Stars What it takes for an Israeli soccer star to finally get clearance from his Israeli team so he can play with an American squad was shown when the Cleveland Force added two Israelis to their team. Prosper Cohen was scouted last summer by Force vice president Scott Wolstein, but could not approach him until the Israeli season ended, according to the Cleveland Jewish News. When Cohen accepted the Force offer, it became necessary to secrete him out of Israel because had the Petah Tikva fans learned that he was planning to leave their team they would have prevented him from going. As it turned out the management of the team came close to refusing to sign release papers permitting Cohen to play for America. In fact, Cohen was already in Cleveland for two months before the release finally arrived. The same problem did not exist with the second Israeli, Simon Look. He already was hi the United States when he was signed to a contract by Force.
