Dr. Jerome Folkman, Rabbi Emeritus of Temple Israel will receive the "Man of the Year" award in recognition for .his "exemplary role as a leader in our community .and .for his unique, and warm relationship t6 the Beth Jacob Congregation." Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach creator of the new sound in Jewish music some 12 years ago is a brilliant composer. Hundreds of thousands of young Jews have heard his music. Thousands have turned to him through his music. One of the most picturesque personalities on the folk- singing scene, black-; bearded revivalist Shlomo Carlebach is an extraordinary artist with an extraordinary art form. An ordained rabbi, a scholar and a scion of scholars, he left the pulpit 12 years ago to pursue a career of service through song. He'has already composed oyer 300 melodies, and He now has six best-selling LP's circling the globe. Widely acclaimed idol of Jewish teenagers and colle- giates, Rabbi Carlebach travels the country from coast to coast. He has performed in practically every state and every city from Toronto to Texas. He' has given several concerts at Town Hall and other major auditoria. He has already completed four or five (he is beginning ' to' lose count) European odys&es, packing concert halls in London, Paris, Jerusalem, Rotterdam, and Rome. Milton Arnoff, President of the Beth Jacob Brotherhood said, "It is with distinct pleasure that we welcome back for his third concert for the Beth Jacob' Brotherhood, Rabbi Carlebach,- particularly since we are honor- Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach ing a man of Dr. Folkman's stature." Arnoff furthermore stated that Martin Hoffman will chair a committee of patrons of the arts to give proper recognition to Dr.' Folkman on this auspicious occasion.

That reference by Toaff to the common position taken by Catholics and Jews, at least the Orthodox, against abortion was evidently appreciated by the Pope, especially as the right, of choice in this matter has become a heated political issue in Italy. '" Toaff also spoke of a common - "struggle for the affirmation of the values of the family; its unity and its morality, a struggle against the plague of drugs which kill the weak and rootless, and a struggle for the realization of a society that is more just; where all can share those goods that God 'has conceded to man.. .And finally; the struggle for the rights of man and his religious liberty." A statement issued after the meeting by the Rome Jewish Community , declared;. "Iathemoment in - which ' a Roman Pontiff ' meets the Chief Rabbi of ' Rome and representatives of the Roman Jewish Commun-. ity near the area which for over 2000 years witnessed infinite pain and both ancient and recent mourning, the Jews of Rome recognize this - encounter as an event of historical import and the real point of departure for a new chapter in the relations of ' the great monotheistic religions." latter YmtfMt ¥m Dissident WASHINGTON-Recent action by the House of Representatives may have resulted in improved conditions for a "refusnik" jailed in the Soviet Union, Congressman Bob Shamansky reported. On Feb. 3, Shamansky joined other House members in support of a resolution by New York Congressman Hamilton Fish, Jr., urging the Soviet jailers to provide proper treatment to Dr. Vik- tor Brailovsky. Con-' gressional sources now say that since the passage of the resolution, it appears Brailovsky has been transferred to another prison and ' his medical care improved. Whether this is in response to' Congressional action or - merely to make sure-the dissident scientist can stand ' trial is not clear, the Columbus Democrat noted. A prominent computer specialist and leader of the , Soviet Jewish emigration movement, Brailovsky was whisked off to prisin in November. The charge against Brailovsky was . "slandering the Soviet state." In' truth, his crime was his request, in 1972, for permission to emigrate to- Israel with his wife, Irina and their two children. Irina Brailovsky said her .

ROME, (JTA)-Pope John
Paul II and the Chief Rabbi
of Rome, Elio Toaff, met last
week in what the Jewish
community officially termed -
"an event of historical import'! and which most
observers saw as a calculated effort by the Vatican
to enhance its relations -with
the Jewish community
which, generally, have been
good. '
The encounter took place
in.a building adjacent to the
Church of San Carlo Ai
Catinari on the . Piazza
Cairoli, in the heart of the
Roman ghetto, the oldest in
Europe. The Pontiff was
accompanied by Cardinal
Ugo Poletti and Msgr. Jorge
Mejia, Secretary of The
Vatican Secretariate for
Religious Relations with the
Jews. Toaff had with him
Assistant Chief Rabbi Alberto Piatteli and a small delegation representing Rome's
Jewish community.
It^was the first time in the
2000 years of variegated
relations between the
Church of Rome and "the
.Jewish community, that a
chief rabbi of the city has ac- ■
, cepted an invitation, to meet
"with"a Pope. Although'
Rome's Jews never suffered
pogroms or similar persecutions, they have been, in past
centuries, subjected to many
levels of humiliation, including forced attendance at
sermons aimed at their conversion in the very church
