Russia. Where is Dagestan'? It's on the southern end of Russia proper. north of Azerbaidzhan. next to the Caspian Sea. Our new family comes from the largest city, Makhatchkala. What is the new family like? The parents are thirty- something and well educated. The father. Shebetey. (a Russian- Jewish name meaning"Shabbat"). has a degree in radio electronics. and worked for several years (is the lead designer of a radio an; it .illtl lit-x \‘lUplllV‘H Lilwnutwi'x ”l il.iue.\tnii \n ntwium _. re . Grunt L‘ni'miy’w 1r“ nth-Iii ‘ - ‘ equipment as that produced by his company. The two companies exchanged experiences and technologies. Svetlana. his wife. comes from a musical background. Her father. who sang tenor in his youth. still leads a choir in Dagestan. and teaches choir conducting at Dagestan Pedagogical University. Svetlana's brother leads a chamber orchestra in Israel. Svetlana has a degree from Leningrad Conservatory in piano performance. She has performed as a concert pianist. in chamber music ensembles. and as an accompanyist for singers. She hopes to give piano lessons in Lexington. as she did in Russia. She is currently looking for a piano. The Alkhasov's have two children: Solomon. age 7) 1/2. named for Shebetey's father: and Mariya. almost 2. Shebetey and Svetlana are modern. hands-on parents---they share childcare and household chores. The CKJ F Russian Resettlement Committee has been hard at work orienting the. family and helping them to adjust to life in Lexington. A major obstacle in resettlement is learning English. Shebetey and Svetlana qualify to take the English as a Second Language courses at the University of Kentucky. but need help with childcare. The courses are taught Tuesdays. Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 am to 1 pm. Currently. Solomon is being treated for a medical problem at Shriner's hospital. so one parent is staying with Solomon at Shriner's and one parent is staying with Mariya at their apartment. Anyone in the Jewish community who might be able to help with child care for the family. whether at Shriner's or at their home. is urged to call the CKJF office (268—0672). Your help will be very much appreciated. The other critical need right now is to provide transportation to job interviews. shopping. etc. Any members of the community who have time during the day to drive can call the CKJ F office. Mariya has a car seat already. and will call all drivers "bah-bah" which is Russian for Aunt or Grandmother. The Russian Resettlement Program desperately needs translators! If you can help. or know someone who can. please let us know. We will follow up on all leads. In the next few months. you will get to hear from Shebetey and Svetlana. They will tell you their impressions of Lexington and how they see life in the United States. .’ .‘ , M... _ ., A81 , .1, the same kind oft-Edie- CK$JF In This Issue j Book Review a CKJF News 2 Commentary 1 7 “' Community Calendar 1 1 3-".

JSO-Hillel serves as an advocate for Jewish students on campus and as a liaison between the campus and the local Jewish community. University students participate in the functions of the congregations. the Federation and other local Jewish organizations. During the last few years, Jewish university students have taken an active part in CKJF's Super Sunday campaign. Thanks to support from the Central Kentucky Jewish Federation and from B'rith Stanley Rose Lodge (#289). we are looking forward to increasing JSO-Hillel activities through the hiring of a program coordinator. This will be a most important step in trying to provide services to Jewish students similar to those available at other campuses. Members of the local Jewish community can help JSO- Hillel in several ways. First. let us know if your sons or daughters are attending a university in the central Kentucky area. Second. volunteer to provide home hospitality for the high holidays. Passover or Thanksgiving. Tara Lieberman. who is from Old Westbury. NY. is this year's president.

Goodman L.C.S.W. ,A.C.S.W. Retirement is a personal challenge that should be met with the same excitement and anticipation one has had for all life's previous challenges. The goals. dreams. tasks. and parameters of retirement are very personal and will best be identified by the individual retiree. There are however some common retirement lifestyle elements that aging persons strive for to make the "golden years" truly "golden". Dignity and respect are things that are an important part of an older person's self- esteem. Sometimes the tendency in families is for the adult children to take on the role of caretaker for the elderly parent when the need is not really indicated. The physically and mentally intact older person has a right to self-determination and control in all aspects of his or her life. The simple accumulation of years is not a justification for people to not take their opinions. wishes. - hopes and dreams seriously. T.I.P. SAT Review Course Offered by Kaplan Education Center For the first time ever, Stanley H. Kaplan Educational Center is offering a course specially adapted for middle school students who qualify for the T.I.P. Program and who will be taking the SAT on January 28, 1995. The course is limited to seventh graders. The program is designed to demystify the exam, relieve fear and anxiety. and to expose middle school students to unfamiliar subject content which appears on the SAT. The approach is low—key: the goal is to build confidence and to help students score their maximum potential. All classes are held at Kapian Education Center, 220] Regency Road, Suite 508, Lexington, Kentucky 40503. Tuition for the course is $100 and this cost may be applied to any future Kapian ACT. PSAT, or SAT full course tuition during high school. You can‘t lose! Kapian Education Center welcomes any questions or visits to their center. For further information .30“ 27675419 Unfortunately some older persons find themselves in familial or other relationships in which their mental faculties are discounted. One cannot forget that older persons at this stage of their life are often forced to accept the loss of family and friends and are therefore. coping m'th grief. Grief is a sensitive area in which the respect. consideration, and dignity of the older person is of the utmost importance. The loss of a spouse on a scale of life stresses is at the top of the list. A surviving spouse will sometimes need to find new common daily routines. activities, and assume additional responsibilities. \Vhile dealing with strong feelings of grief. lifestyle adjustments can be difficult and the older person needs support and guidance during this period. Older persons. even the physically frail. can show an amazing determination and ability to care for themselves and this should be respected.

Often adult children or significant others will pressure the older person into an alternative living arrangement in which independent living is sacrificed for an environment of alleged greaterphysical security. Imposing an unnecessary restriction on an older persons independent lifestyle is usually an attempt by people to ease their own feelings of fear and guilt regarding a persons age and their frequency of contact or care of the older person. To maximize the mental and physical health of the older person in retirement it is important that they be as independent as possible as well as mentally and physically active as possible. One challenge of retirement is for the older person to maintain an intellectually stimulatingas well as a socially and physically active lifestyle.

Unfortunately. financial security oft en correlates with the quality of life during retirement. Usually it requires careful financial planning long before the actual retirement years. With a fixed retirement income one must plan for the rate of inflation. and anticipate other economic factors to insure that retirement will be as successful as possible. Dealing with financial matters can be confusing or difficult and one should feel comfortable consulting a financial expert when it comes to preparing for this important lifestyle change. While it is important for the retired person to maintain as physically active a lifestyle as possible to maintain their maximum health. one cannot over look the need for quality health care. Low impact aerobic exercise can be important for maintenance. of a healthy heart. A heart healthy diet. To“ in cholesterol and saturated fats can also be beneficial ll is adrisable for the elderly person to have regular physical exams and cheek-ups by a doctor st) that they can be aware ol'their state. of health. A doctor can help an individual outline a physical fitness program and diet that would be best suited for them.
