'Hester Street'
Will Be Shown
At The Center
Dec. 20 And 21
"Hester Street," written
and directed by Joan Micklin
Silver and starring' Carol
Kane, will make a long-
awaited appearance at The
Jewish Center, as part of the
1980-81 International Film '
Series on Saturday, Dec. 20,
at 8:30 p.m. and Sunday,
Dec, 21, at 7:30 p.m., according to Steve Herz, Jewish
Center Drama Committee
Chairman.
"You've heard about the
Lower East Side from your
parents and grandparents,"
says'Herz. "Now you can
relive the Melting Pot experience in Ijhis heartwarming film about Jake
and Gitl, a young immigrant
- couple in turn-of-the-century
New York. Jake is proud of
his new job and his recently
acquired Yankee mannerisms; but when his bride-
Gitl arrives from the Old
World, he finds she is not so-
eager to give up. her old-
fashioned ways."
Herz states that this
delightful tale of love and
marriage in the New World
is a must-see for anyone who
has heard stories of the old
days or yearned to
rediscover the past.
Writer-director Joan
Silver based her film upon a
short story written by Abraham Cahan that was publish-
- ed in the 1890's. Cahan was a
noted journalist and editor of
' the Jewish Daily Forward.
His stories embodied telling
observations about the Jewish immigrants from Russia
■ and Poland going through
- Ellis Island on their way to
the Lower East Side of Mah-
hattan and elsewhere.
"Hester Street," says
Herz, "gives audiences an
opportunity to hear Yiddish
spoken- in a way different
from the uses made of tjie
language by Mel Brooks and
" Woody Allen."
Tickets -are available at
The Jewish Center. For
reservations, call the Center's Cultural Arts, Department, 231-2731.

NEW YORK, (JTA)-A
neo-Nazi publication, with
Hitler and Mussolini on the
cover, is openly being sold in
the heart of Buenos Aires
despite an alleged police
crackdown, it was revealed
by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith.
According to Rabbi Morton Rosenthal, director of
ADL's Latin American Af-
. fairs Department, Argentine
authorities assured the delegation of Argentine Jewish
Associations (DAIA) that
the police had launched a
massive sweep of
newsstands to remove neo-
Nazi and other anti-Semitic
' literature;
The president of DAIA, Dr.
- Mario Hector Gorenstein, reported to the representative
body of Argentine Jewry
that the police action was
triggered by a DAIA complaint against a blatantly
anti-Semitic program that
was recently aired on prime
Bid Process For New Building
time Argentine television.
Rosenthal said that days
after the promised police
crackdown, the October
issue of "Papeles," published by the Aryan Nationalist
Integral Party (Partido Ario
Nacionalista Integral), was
still available on newsstands
in downtown Buenos Aires.
In the October issue, above
the * photos of Hitler and
Mussolini standing side-by-
side on a reviewing stand, is
the inscription: "Buenos
Aires is the capital of the
Aryan world."
One of the articles glorifies
the Nazis convicted at the
Nuremberg trials and calls
their accusers "criminals."
Another describes U.S. National Security Adviser Zbig-
niew Brzezinski as a "miserable Jew." and accuses him
of having pressed the Shah to
assassinate,the Iranian people. The article on-Brzezinski, , along* with others, is
reprinted from other anti-
Semitic journals in Latin
Rosenthal said.
The "Buenos Aires. Herald," an English-language
newspaper, attacked the
Aryan Party last May as a
"political entity which proselytizes with extremist
ideology!' and "shares the
premise of the fuehrer and
seeks the resurgence of the
swastika'." The newspaper
also challenged the legality
of Papeles and asked, "Why
is Papeles in its seventh
month of publication?"
Papeles labeled the Herald
editorship as dominated by
"Hebrews." *
Another major source of
current Nazi literature, Rabbi Rosenthal said, is the
organization Editorial Zor-
zal of of Buenos Aires, which
has been publishing a series
of booklets, some of which
are entitled "Jew, a Taboo
Word," "Jews or Argentines," "Hitler and .the
Jews" and "Timerman, One
Gauclio Less." One' of ..its
booklets, titled "Introduction to Hitler," contains a
America, making Papeles a
• "sort,of;clearinghouseforin:-, poem that,begins: "Hitler; is
,-  ternatfcnal anti-Semitism,"  God." , '  -
At The Cols. Jewish Center
Newsies at any time go* 100
percent into the Clothing
Fund. The Newsies
themselves handle the entire
clothing operation on a completely volunteer basis. No
Newsie is ever paid for the
work he does. The Newsies
believe that, "No child
should ever have to be kept
out of school for the lack of
suitable clothing."  -
Since "1907, nearly three-~
quarters of a milion children
have been given clothing by
the Newsies. The Newsies
outfit between 10,000 and
12,000 children every year
with warm winter school
clothing. The clothes are all
brand new in the lastest
styles and colors with no
"charity" look to them. Dur-

"Hospitals in the central
Ohio region will request
more than 2,000 units of
blood this week and every
week this year. Blood that is
needed by' family, friends
and neighbors of our own
community," reminds Sol
Derfler, coordinator of the
. upcoming Jewish-sponsored
bloodmobile.
"Yet with the support and
participation of members of
the Jewish community, as
well as many other organizations, the Central Ohio Red
Cross Blood Services provides the total supply of
blood needed by patients in
51 hospitals throughout 26
counties, including all Jewish donors, their families,
■ friends and neighbors," he
adds,.
"In addition,"  explains
Derfler, "in the event of a
national emergency,  it is
*A"^. " ' ■
quite possible that Israel
could request blood and/or
blood products from the
American Red Cross Blood
Services, just as they did in
1973 during the Yom Kippur
War. Such a special request
.could only be filled if there
was an adequate supply of
blood in the system at the
time of need. Blood is also
used daily by Jewish immigrants to this country who'
need blood because of
surgery or other medical
treatment,"
Derfler urges members of
the Jewish community to
share life on Wednesday.
Dec. 24, when the Agudas
Achim Synagogue,. 2767 E.
Broad St., hosts a Red Cross
bloodmobile. The bloodmobile will be at the
synagogue from 11 to 5 p.m.
