Being fluent in Hebrew, Yiddish and German, he intended to teach comparative linguistics, however, the theater beckoned, and in 1943, he joined the internationally famous Habimah Theater which he left a year later to help found the Israel Chamber Theatre. Among Bikel?s best-known screen roles are ?The Defiant Ones,? ?The African Queen,? ?The Little Kidnappers,? ?The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming,? ?My Fair Lady,? ?The Enemy Below,? ?I Want To Live,? and ?The Little Ark.? His most personally satisfying performances include the southern sheriff in ?The Defiant Ones,? for which he received an Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting Actor, ?The Love of Four Colonels,? and ?Fiddler on the Roof.? Bikel?s Tevye, acclaimed by critics and audiences alike, was hailed by the Hollywood Reporter as ?the most enchanting night of theater that has ever been awarded an audience.? For many years a recording artist for Elektra Records, with sixteen albums on that label, his most recent recordings are ?Silent No More,? a collection of freedom songs of Soviet Jews based on tapes smuggled out of the USSR, ?For The Young,? an album for children, and ?The Fifth Cup,? a contemporary Seder. He is currently a Vice-President of the International Federation of Actors, and a Senior Vice-President of the American Jewish Congress. He has been on the board of Amnesty International and was appointed by President Carter in 1977 to serve a 5 year term on the National Council for the Arts. An American citizen since 1961, Theodore Bikel divides his time between California and Connecticut where he resides with his wife, Rita, and two sons.You will enjoy bidding on the following items during the ?live-auction? portion of the evening.

LEDERMAN Rabbi One might ask: Why be especially concerned about the 40th anniversary of the founding of our congregation? Are there not more significant numbers? Eighteen, twenty- five, thirty-six and eventually ifty and a hundred? Why forty? In the entire bible, there is one number that stands out more than all others. 40. The days of the great flood were forty. The years of wandering in the desert were forty. The days Moses stood on the summit of Mt. Sinai were forty. The years of enslavement and bondage in Egypt were forty. The years of the life of Moses himself were three times forty. One would have to conclude that forty and its multiples have, in some way, a meaning and significance that no other number has. And for that reason, to celebrate and to observe the 40th anniversary of the founding of Temple Beth Sholom does have a significance and meaning that no other milestone in the history of our congregation could ever have. Thus it is so very fitting to thank God who has so generously blessed our congregation and its families these past forty years. Indeed, now is the perfect and most appropriate time to pray that God will continue to bless our congregation during its second forty years and the forty years following... For 120 years! Amen.LOUIS M. LEDERMAN Rabbi SIMON BERGMAN Cantor ISABEL .1. GOLDBERG Executive Director LEO A. WILNER Executive Director Emeritus G^ficeu Z9877988 GENE GREENBERG President HERB PASTOR EDWARD M.
