**Fiddler on the Roof** To Be Presented
At Rock Hill Little Theatre
Rock Hill Community Celebrated
A Passove Seder Together
The Rock Hill Little Theatre
of Rock Hill, S.C. proudly
presents Fiddler on the Roof as
you have never seen it before.
Yes, we have a director, an or
chestra, cast, crew, script,
music and set, but we have
found the best!
Steven Haas, international
opera singer and director, will
direct this great event. He has
studied at the N.C. School of
the Arts and the Cincinnati
Conservatory of Music. He
has been a featured performer
on the stages of Portugal, Ita
ly, Australia, Israel and Ger
many. He has also appeared in
our own area in cities such as
Columbia, Charlotte, Savan
nah and Charleston. Mr. Haas
is sure to produce a rare per
formance that will be
memorable, professional and
educational.
The authenticity of Jewish
life and tradition will be ut
most in our performance. To
help achieve this goal we have
sought Rabbinical advice for
our sets, wardrobe and
customs. There will also be a
Jewish exhibit featured in
Johnson Hall lobby for the
month of May. The exhibit en
titled “Images of Polish
Jewry: Arts and Cultures”
focuses on “the artistic and in
tellectual life prior to World
War II” says Stu Schwartz,
director of the Museum of
York County. More than 100
of these rare photos were ob
tained from the Institute for
Jewish Research in New York
and will be on display to help
depict the quality of life of
modern Jews similar to life
depicted in Fiddler.
There will also be a special
section reserved in the York
County library for featured
books on Jewish life,
Jerusalem and historic infor
mation. These books will be
featured for the month of
May.
However, we would not have
a musical such as Fiddler
without songs such as “If I
Were A Rich Man”, “Match
maker” and “Sunrise. Sunset”
and who better to perform
these songs than VIVA
KLEZMER! The Charlotte
quartet, consisting of Eugene
Kavadlo, Ali Kavadlo, Mike
Mosley and Leo Bjorlie, isn’t
the only musical ensemble in
the southeast specializing in
the performance of klezmer
music or Jewish folk music.
VIVA KLEZMER! has per
formed for the Jewish Com
munity Center, the Jewish
Musical Festival at Temple
Israel and the University of
North Carolina to name a few.
Mark Dickinson, our
musical director and director
of several musicals, will help
grace our stage, as well as his
wife Elaine who will be our
pianist.
With the Little Theatre’s
largest cast ever of over 70, we
have assembled talent as
never seen before in the Rock
Hill area. These performers
help to create and tell the
beautiful story of Tevye,
played by Lee Young, and his
struggles with “Tradition”
and his changing society.
Come and be a part of this
Jewish family for an evening.

For the past eleven years,
the Wesley Foundation
Newman Community and
Westminister Fellowship of
Winthrop College has offered
the Rock Hill and Winthrop
communities a hopefilled
celebration of Passover.
Reverend Randy McSpadden,
Presbyterian Campus Min
ister for Winthrop College, has
organized it every year. This
spring festival was held on
April 7 at 6 p.m. under the
leadership of Gerry Schapiro,
George Ackerman, Frances
Underwood and Lil Adickes.
During the evening they re
experienced the Israelite
journey from bondage to
freedom with songs, readings
from the Haggadah and a
delicious Seder meal prepared
by Jewish and Christian
friends from the Rock Hill
community. There was no
charge for those attending;
those who wished could make
a donation.
The event was well attended
and was very much family
oriented. In fact a booklet of
drawings depicting various
aspects of the holiday (the
finding of baby Moses;
Pharoah; Slavery; crossing of
the Red Sea; the four ques
tions) were distributed along
with crayons to the very
young to occupy them if they
got restless during the
readings. What a clever idea
and what a nice way to
remember the event.

IF YOU HOLD AN ISRAEL BOND
BOUGHT DURING THE YOM KIPPUR WAR
During the traumatic early days of the Yom Kippur war, over a million
Jews flocked to synagogue and Bond offices to buy Israel Bonds. You gave
Israel heart and strength in a time of crisis and helped the nation
reconstruct its post-war economy.
ISRAEL WANTS TO SAY ‘‘THANK YOU”
Israel wants to say “thank you” by giving you credit for up to 20 months
advanced interest on your maturing 1972 or 1973 Israel Bonds when you
reinvest in an Israel Bond of a higher denomination.
IN THE SPIRIT OF ISRAEL INDEPENDENCE DAY, CELEBRATION OF
BEGINNING AND BUILDING, REAFFIRM YOUR TIES WITH ISRAEL BY
REINVESTMENT.
