Prior to me multi-media ex travaganza, former (President Gerald R. Ford delivered a keynote address (see related story below). The ;''Partners In Freedom''' production was truly a conscience-moving experience for both Jew and -Gentile alike. The show's underlying theme of "We Are One" provided for an enriching and at times tear-inspiring audience reaction. It's very usual to see Mayer Rosenfeld, former Center Director, visit the Center.

The event was organized by a dedicated group of members from the lay community, headed by N. Victor Goodman and Judie Swedlow, chairman and co-chairman respectively of the Israel 30 Co-ordinating Committee. It indeed was a most fitting finale for two weeks of local programming (which began with the Center's . Expo) dedicated to the State of Israel on her 30th Anniversary. The evening's festivities began long before the Qhio Theatre and continued long after. Approximately 130 Patrons had the honor of dining with the former President beforehand and over 400 Sponsors were in attendance at a gala reception held ih the Statehouse Rotunda following the show. The out- pourint of community support behind the entire evening deeply demonstrates < that ihe Jewsr of-Columbus- are committed to a strong and viable Israel, and on Monday night they rejoiced in her accomplishments of 30 years. The show's tone was set early, in a welcoming speech by Goodman. "This evening we are^ initiating a unique celebration of 'Partners In Freedom ..." A bond between two nations with identical ideals of decency, of' human rights, and of ' human equality. A partnership between two sister democracies, young as the American dream and old as the Jewish Destiny. "Yes, we celebrate 30 years of partnership, of trial and triumph, sorrow and gladness, unity and solidarity. We celebrate a partnership of choosing life and fac: ing life with confidence, thaf the night shall shine as the day," he continued. A group of relatively un known, yet extremely talented entertainers, provided the audience with a rare treat. Led by a former Tevye from Broadway's , "Fiddler1 on the Roof," the dramatic presentation was a ''song to life, an affirma- tiuon of purpose and resolve" (in the words of Mrs. Swedlow). Harry Goz (Tevye) was the charming master of ceremonies. His versatility and abounding, talent was evident as he sang "If I Were A Rich Man" and did a rendition of "Look Ma, I'm Free" from Sam Levenson's book 'Everything But Money." The ever popular "Do You .Love Me?" from "Fiddler" was stirringly performed by Goz, along with the evening's co-hostess dancer- singer Elaine Petricoff. Her vivacious spark and shine helped set the show's pace. Performances by. Israeli soprano Stella Richmond (a recent immigrant from Rumania) and Metropolitan Opera star Misha Raitzen (a former star of - Russia's Bolshoi Opera) were equally exhilarating. Enhancing and contributing to the total mood were slides of Israel, her land and people, which flashed on a screen behind the artists. The faith, unity and eternity of Jerusalem was beautifully transmitted through the words and music of Kenny Karen, a multi- talented composer, writer, singer and actor. The man responsible for putting this magnificent tribute together is Issachar Miron, an Israeli cc-mposer- playwright. The show's executive producer is the Creative and Educational Programs Department of the United Jewish Appeal; On the local level, Harold M.

Appearing tanned and healthy, the former cheif executive emphasized his firm dedication "to a strong, secure and independent Israel." These views will never change, he added. In an obviously political speech aimed at the policies of the Carter Administration, President Ford emphasized the destructive implications of forcing any Mideast nation to make concessions. "The best American policy is public restraint," he noted. President Ford indicated several "constructive recommendations" concerning the current volatile situation in the Mideast. *"W „js .^gssential that mea ningf ul pri va te negotiations at the highest possilbe level be resumed promptly between Israel and Egypt." He urged subsequent bilateral negotiations between Israel and her other Arab neighbors. •A totally separate peace "may not be a realistic option for Egypt," the former President observed. •The turmoil and domination characteristic of the Soviet Union can not be allowed to exist in the Mideast, he said/ In criticizing the Carter White House, former President Ford stated that he thjnks "the present Administration made a serious and dangerous mistake by bringing the Soviet Union back into the peace-making process.: "He strongly believes that the United States needs a national defense program "so that we are trusted by our allies, respected by our adversaries."
