L’Shonah T ovah!

The High Holy Days are traditionally a
time to take stock of our actions of the preceding
year, and to resolve that our deeds in the year to
come will achieve even higher levels.

During this past year, CKJF, with support
and participation from many of you in our
community, has accomplished a great deal. We
have welcomed five new Soviet families; provided
more than 40 youngsters with an outstanding
Jewish Day Camp experience at Camp Shalom,
and maintained year-round Jewish cultural
programs for 3 to 5—year-olds with our pre—school
parties. In addition, 5 children were able to
attend a non-profit Jewish camp with the support
of our camperships. People of all ages sang along
with the Israeli group Galgalem, and were

President’s Message

A Good Year!

entranced by Peninah Schram - a consummate
story-teller.

Perhaps most significant from a Jewish
ethical perspective, we supported Israel’s efforts to
resettle more than 200,000 new immigrants
through our generous contributions. At the same
time, we provided financial and emotional
support for many members of our own local
community through our Social Services
Committee.

What more can we do? I believe we
understand that to maintain the status quo is to
slide backward. Let us all pledge to expand our
efforts in the year to come - in our own
community, in Israel, and to Jews throughout the
world - financially and with our time and energy.

May you all be inscribed for a good year! Hatimah Tovah!

Resettlement Report

The Resettlement of our four new American
Jewish families has been successful. With
cooperation of many individuals in our local
community, the tasks necessary to settle and
assimilate the families have proceeded smoothly.
More families will arrive soon, and from What
we’ve learned the process should go even more
smoothly.

A huge thank you goes to Kaye and Harold
Frankel, who coordinated the hospitality and
transportation for the families. They have stepped
down from their important position and they will
be difficult to replace.

The four older youths, Maya, Sasha, Viktor,
and Sofya, attended Jewish overnight camp. Sofya
and Viktor were sent by Temple Adath Israel to
GUCI, and Maya and Sasha were sent by CKJF
and the Central States Hadassah Zionist Youth
Commission to CYJ. All had a positive, exciting
Jewish experience.

 

The Resettlement Committee needs more
volunteers for the next families. If you haven’t
participated in the process, please let us know
what you can do. We Will also need apartment
furnishings in the near future. Contact CKJF so
we can get your name.

Thank you to all who helped.

Jon Adland

 

CKJF would like to thank the Great
Harvest Bread Company for their
August 2nd donation of loaves of

bread to the Soviet families.

 ISRAEL AND
THE UNITED STATES
A Shared Tradition of ’Aliyah'

Like the United States, Israel is a society based
on ’Aliyah’ or immigration. In the same way
that the Statue of Liberty has beckoned the
oppressed to America's shores, Israel has been
a haven for millions of Jewish refugees
worldwide. Most recently, Israel dramatically
airlifted 15,000 Jewish refugees from war-torn
Ethiopia. However, Jews are not the only
refugees to immigrate to Israel. In the 1980’s
nearly 1000 Vietnamese boat people found
freedom in Israel.

Today Israel faces her largest
immigration challenge. After a two-decade
campaign by the United States government
and the American people, Jews are finally able
to leave the Soviet Union. One million will
immigrate to Israel over the next several
years--the largest single migration of Jews in
history.

Fears of a resurgence of Violent anti-
Semitism and a cutoff of immigration are
rising as the political and economic decay of
the Soviet Union continues. Anti-Semitic
demonstrations have percolated throughout
the country. Quickening the pace of
immigration depends on the ability of Israel to
absorb the immigrants. While Israel has the
will, acquiring the means is a staggering task.

In September, Israel will ask the United
States to ’guarantee’ or ’co-sign’ a loan to help
pay for the costs of absorbing Soviet Jews.
This will be in the form of a $10 billion loan
distributed over five years. Many
organizations are participating in a national
letter-writing campaign to educate Members of
Congress on the urgency of this legislation.

Please participate and write a letter
now. In your letters, emphasize that Israel is
asking the US. to co-sign a loan, not give her
a grant, and that Israel has never defaulted on
a loan.

 ROSH HASHANAH 5752
HOME CEREMONIAL READING

 

During the course of the festive meal on Rosh Hashanah evening, pieces
of alpple that have been dipped in honey are distributed to the participants
an the following is read either in unison or responsively.

For centuries, jews have celebrated Rosh Hashanah by eating apples and honey. We express
our hopes and prayers that this new year ahead may be especially sweet for ourselves, our
loved ones and all the jewish people around the world.

Seated at the festive table, we remember our precious heritage. We understand that the new
year is a sacred time for reflection and hope, as we pray for guidance to meet the challenges
of the coming year.

The beginning of the year 5752 is marked by extraordinary events.

We are witnessin the redemption of Ethiopian jews in the [and of Israel May their memories
of famine and nger fade, as they experience the joy of reunification with their families.

We are witnessing the emigration of more than 250,000 Soviet jews who have been isolated
from the mainstream of the jewish world for decades. May they find empathy and caring
as they establish new homes among the people of Israel.

We are witnessing — where there had been repression — the resurgence of jewish vitality
in Eastern Europe. May these communities gain new strength and success in their endeavors.

We are witnessing throu h Operation Exodus, an outpouring o compassion and generosity
for all jews in need. ay we be thankful for our religious reedom and the a ility and
opportunity to extend help to others.

Now, on this Rosh Hashanah, as we once again dip our apples into honey, we recite the
age-old worlds of our tradition. May we en arge our horizons, pledging to ourselves that
t is year we will do even more to reach out to jews in distress, wherever they may be.

Kol Yis-rae—el ah-ray—vim zeh ba-zeh. .711; n; Dung 5233?)? '7;
All Israel is responsible for one another.
This year may all jews know a new measure of sweetness.

May each of us continue to grow in our commitment to our people and our faith.
