It was a cold, dismal, rainy Sunday afternoon when the “Local Photographers Show” opened with a wine and cheese reception. Over 100 people gathered, some friends and relatives of the photographers, the photographers them selves, some who were curious who came to see what was there and others stopped by who were at Shalom Park for other reasons. The Galleries were filled with the warmth of friendship and cheerful chat ter. The consensus was that the photography was extra- ordin£u-y. Those entering their works were Mark Bernstein, Jonathan Bograd, Alan Goldberg, Bruce Levin, Audrey Madans, Mark Perlin, Allen B. Saxe, Ada Shapiro, Eric Skiut, Josef Sklut and Eric Sklut discusses his photof'raphs with Alan Goldberg (R). Elkie Tulman. No awards were given. It would have been an impossible task to select the “best in show.” The photographs both in black and white and color were truly outstanding. The reception was also the location of a special event, a presentation of an artwork by friends of Nettie and Ben Bruck, parents of Bernice Roberts and Marilyn Swim mer, honoring their 60th an niversary (story in adjoining article). Those members of the com mittee who participated and hosted the reception are Louise Bernstein, Patty Gorelick, Florence Jaffa, G.G. Kosch, Lina Levine and Judy Perlin. Allen B.

His son and successor, Aaron, sur vived the Holocaust, and man aged to reach Palestine in 1944, establishing a strong following in Tel Aviv.

The portrait may be seen hanging in the Chai Lounge. « « « Zahava and Thomas Rosenberg have presented to the Foundation a Shraga Weil litho^aph titled “Cycle of Life.” It is a visual statement of life’s transience: phases and cycles, time passing and time eternal, the repetition of history itself. The piece is hung in the Jewish Family Service conference room, a room honoring family members of Zahava Rosen berg. Also donated by the Rosenbergs are two framed Daniel Nierman, photograph er, posters, son of Leonardo Nierman, Mexican Jewish artist.
