A Miracle Greeted By Song And Dance Local Ties To Ethiopian Jewry Herald Staff Without the contributions of early supporters of Ethiopian Jewry, the great events of the past weekend would not have been possible. " It's another Entebbe - when Israel moves, it does swift work." Graenum Berger, founder of the American Association for Ethiopian Jewry, saw the fulfillment of 36 years of effort and preparation. His son Ramon Berger lives in Providence. Mr. Berger spoke at the J.C.C. years before the plight of the Beta Israel was widely known. Barbara Gordon, a prime mover of the North American Con­ ference on Ethiopian Jewry, spent weeks prior to the airlift in Ethiopia, and is now in Israel. She had sponsored many trips inlo the Gondar Province, Falasha region, and has spoken to Hillel and at Temple Emanu-El in Providence. Her sister-in­ law, Carolyn Gereboff, lives on the East Side. In the early 80's a group of Falashas, as they were then called, spoke at Beth Sholom, and stayed at the home of Aharon and Sandi Afsai. A team was formed to put pressure on Jewish organizations to put the Jews of Africa on high priority. Herta Hoffman, a fo under of Self-Help, noted that her (Photo by Susan Price) parents in Germany hosted some of the very early Ethiopian "It's a miracle!" declared a smiling Rabbi Strajcher, a long-time supporter of Beta Israel. students brought out by Professor Faitlovich. "Students greeted the new arrivals on Sh abbat with dance and with song." · He went on to ask, "How will people from an agrarian culture adjust to a radically different society?

But there were no signs of the massive Israeli military buildup in the southern Lebanon security zone or along Israeli-Lebanese border that had been reported by foreign news media. According to other experts, the " brotherhood pact" con­ tains no timetable for the withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon and thereby legitimizes their presence. It weakens ca lls for the with­ drawal of all foreign forces from Lebanon and turns the country into a Syri an pro­ tectorate, these experts say.

What's it like managing the house of a grand theatre aside from running your own house and keeping things in shipshape order? Judging from Roberta Perlman in action on location as house manager at the Providence Performing Arts Center, I'd venture to say her "grand house" runs smoothly. Amidst hurry and scurry of theatre patrons rushing into the theatre, there's Roberta at her post, calmly speaking to patrons or ushers. When we met in quieter surroundings, there was that · same calmness, a lovely facet of Roberta's personality that extends to those around her. It was a few days after Mikhail Baryshnikov and the White Oak Dance Project performed for a house of 2,639, and as Roberta said, "We had few problems. Everything worked out fine," adding that seating wasn't allowed for the first 13 minutes until a pause allowed the ushers to seat latecomers. " Rhode Islanders are notoriously late for performances and they're angry not to be seated right away. It's not PPAC's policy but the performing company's rules," she said softly and without a trace of disdain. We spoke of the mixed audience Roberta Perlman, house manager at Providence Performing Arts Center, reaction to Baryshnikov's appearance.
