The amphitheater on the Mount Scopus campus of the Hebrew University was rededicated yesterday in the names of Samuel and Jean Rothberg, of Peoria, 111. Mr. Roth-berg, chairman of the university’s board of governors, contributed to the restoration of the outdoor theater following the June, 1967 war. The ceremonies were attended by Premier Golda Meir and several Cabinet members, Louis A. Pincus, chairman of the Jewish Agency, and Nobel Laureate S. Y. Agnon. The theater overlooks the Judaean desert and on clear days affords a view of the Dead Sea.
