} Page 7-THE NEWS-April 1981 I $ration/UJA Campaign *81 Champagne Brunch Lynn Lerner’s home was the beauti^l spring garden setting for the Federation Women’s Division Champagne Brunch on March 5. Nearly 70 women attended the brunch which honored all the women who have donated $100 or more to the 1981 campaign. During the Champagne Hour, the women had the opportunity to visit informally with the guest speaker, Lt. Colonel Ruchama Hermon of the Israeli Defense Forces.

The brunch was prepared and served by a group of Federation women under the direction of Florence Jaffa and Ann Abel. Those who also cooked and bak ed the delicious foods were: Bob* bi Bernstein, Ellen Fligel, Renee Gk)relick, Blanche Jaffa, Arlene Karp, Gloria Lemer, Lina Levine, Brenda Meltsner, Helga Rosenberger, Sara Schreibman and Mary Wojnowich. — Ruth Goldberg Masada On April 5-8, WSOC-TV presents an eight-hour fic tionalized series on the siege of Masada.

In the film’s onset, Jews are engaging in guerrilla warfare; in and of itself it produces ho special concern; however, because of the inclusion of con temporary Israeli military there are likely to be some people who will try to draw an analogy between Arab terrorists of today and the Jewish Zealots of that time. This point is made only because it has already been rais ed by one review which appeared in the Christian Science Monitor. Two excerpts from that review are: “...the Palestine-Israel analogy is clearly drawn in rela tion to the Roman-Judean situa tion around 73 A.D.” and “Because of the bitter con troversial confrontations between the Israeli government and the Palestine Liberation Organization today, partisan interpretations of the ‘Masada’ script are bound to cause heated argum^ts.” While such conclusions might be drawn by some people, the overall impact of that segnaent of the film plays such a minor role in the totality of the produc- (Continued on Page 8) Women at Brunch enthralled with Lt.
