The article presents information about the novel "Yehuda," by Meyer Levin. Mr. Levin's novel takes its name from a young violinist, member of a small Palestinian commune on the banks of the Kishon River in Israel. By day Yehuda works in the fields and at night he practices long hours, forcing his work- dulled fingers to be nimble on the strings. But progress is slow, he begins to think of leaving the commune for the U.S. where he can support himself and perfect his art. He struggles between desire for perfect musicianship and loyalty to his group. However, the problem is resolved for him by the visit to the commune of a famous violinist.
