| Betar experiences | My first Betar meeting was at Beth Weizmann. The madrich was the late Philip Mirjam. The group consisted of Gary Rudzki, Betty Brisson, Jackie Katz, Dennis Samolin and……..can't remember who else. On entering the room I saw Jackie smoking with his feet on the chair before him, Gary looking half asleep, Dennis looking into the far distance and only Betty listening. to Philip. Somehow that picture never left my memory!! Another thing I cannot forget is Henry Krantz making me sing, in Hebrew, at Yosef and Dora Steiner's farewell function!! Didn't know any Hebrew, didn't know the song, didn't know Henry Krantz - but he was handsome and very persuasive so I went on and really botched it. Later I was in Seminar Madrichim run by Shimshon Feder and others. My Hashmonaim group met at Beth Weizmann . Later I was a member of the Netzivut, but cannot remember as what. |
