SOPHIA HERMAN AND LUDMILLA LIFSCHITZ consider their performances In own , she adds. Since coming to this country, they have concert together as the main part of their lives. Listening to music for appreciation " is not as simple as hearing jazz on the radio," Sophia says. "It's important to teach peo ple how to listen. Just as there are five senses, there is a sense with music,". she says. The students they teach are encouraged to express their personal ideas about music. " How you feel about music is dif ferent for every person," Sophia explains. Someone will hear a piece and envision a country scene or the same score will elicit an image of the ocean to another. Music can be " heroic or pathetic," but each response will depend on the individual. A few of their students are musically gifted. "It's important to have ability," Sophia says, " but if you don't want to work you will never get results." As teachers, the sisters serve as ex cellent examples of what can be achieved with hard work and dedication. Each sister has her own chosen specialty. Ludmilla is primarily a teacher. Most of Sophia's time is engaged in per forming. Yet, what they both consider the main part of their lives are the concerts they present together as a duo. On Oct. 29 they will perform atSMU and on Nov. 8 the sisters will present a concert at Salve Regina College in Newport. ' They have performed over 50 concerts in this country. "We are very happy because we can play a lot and perform anything we want, " Ludmilla says. The sisters were selected, after passing strict criteria, to appear in the New England Touring Program.

Only 24 when he became Mayor of Yavneh, he was Israel's youngest-ever municipal leader. He was also the youngest in his graduating year at Bar Ilan University and the youngest matriculating student in his high school - class. For all of this Shitrit credits the Youth Aliyah village of Kfar Baty a. " At 15 I had finished 11th grade and the day school I at tended did not teach any further. It seemed that my education was over, and ·then Youth Aliyah awarded me a scholarship to the village of Kfar Batya. It marked the turning point of my life." The story of Shitrit's early years has a familiar ring. Born in Morocco, the youngest of a large and impoverished family, he arrived in Israel in 1957 when he ,.~ was 8 years old. The family was sheltered first in a transit camp or ma'abara, and then moved to the desolate collection of Arab buildings that was then the town of Yavneh. Shitrit's parents could neither read nor write, but they encouraged their youngest son who was eager to learn. By the time he was 12 , Shitrit was paying for his schooling by working in the nearby citrus groves. The Youth Aliyah scholarship to Kfar Batya was a dream come-true - until the day he arrived at the village and the principal informed him that dormitory fees were not covered by the scholarship. " I had no money at all ," says Shitrit. "It seemed that everything was over before it had even begun. Then the principal suddenly said : 'Perhaps you could work on the farm here in Kfar Batya .

Is the whole story (soo kah) "T imagination, or was there an Ark of the Israelites that had great powers? If so, what became of it? While the film is just fantasy and fun, Jewish history is filled with stories about the Ark of the Covenant. Here are some of them. According to the Bible, the Tablets of the Law of Moses were placed inside the Ark. The Ark was made of acacia wood and covered with pure gold, both inside and outside. Golden angels were placed on top of the Ark to "protect" it. Four golden rings were attached to the Ark's feet, two in front and two in back. Rods were put through the rings so the Ark could be carried on the shoulders of four men. Wherever the Ark was carried, miracles were said to have hap pened. The most famous one is the story of the wans of Jericho: the Israelites marched with the Ark around the city seven times and the fruit walls came tumbling down! (pay rote) When the Children of Israel marched through the desert, the Ark led the way. When it was time to move to a new camp, ~he Ark would soar into.the air, showing the direction God wanted the Israelites to go.
