...appearances by more big names than their underground appeal might be thought to merit, ya big hag. But Brennan tells how a couple of schmoes from the City achieved recognition with the stars. "Alan Arkin's sons knew about us," he says, "and Tom Jones--his son and his grandchildren were into...

...years only a few circumcisions were done here,'' he says. ``It was difficult to gather the 10 men required to hold Sabbath prayers.'' Now Prague's Altneu Schul, the main synagogue, holds services daily, and three study groups meet weekly to explore Jewish religion and culture. ``My grandchildren,'' says Rott, ``know more about being Jewish than my children do.''
