Holocaust Museum: Impressions

It took a week to sink in. Two weeks later

me. The electric shock I felt

This morning was the longest of my life. I
woke up at 5:30 AM which is the time my dog
normally wakes me up to make sure we have
time for a nice walk before I go to work. But
today my dog wasn’t there because I left him
at the kennel in preparation for the trip. So
this morning, after closing my briefcase and
bags, I went to the office for the last e-mail
check, and to leave things as organized as I
could. Me nervous? N 000000. . ..

President's Message

The Lost tribe of Barbourville

During Yom Kippur services, I met a very
engaging couple from Barbourville. Since I
have not asked their permission, I will not
name them. They were very pleasant and had
lived in Philadelphia before relocating to
Barbourville to take academic jobs. Since I
had grown up outside Philadelphia, we had
much in common. Privately, I was looking at
them with some shock. Were there really
Jews in Barbourville? I censored myself
successfully but still asked many questions
about how they were able to maintain their
Jewishness in this small town. I tried to think
of how I would attempt to preserve my
heritage while living in a place that had no
synagogue and was hours from the closest
house of worship.

Growing up near a metropolitan area where
there are so many Jews and so much Jewish
food and culture it was easy to coast. That is,
to go to synagogue and participate but not
necessarily take a leadership position or an
involvement that requires a great deal of
effort. When community is all around you

Chanukah Crossword

GELT 2
GIMEL

David Feinberg

there may be less of a need to be particularly
active to find and maintain one’s identity. I
like to think of being Jewish in Lexington as
requiring "hands on" Judaism. It takes effort
and active involvement to maintain one’s
Jewish identity and values.

My new friends from Barbourville talked
about their efforts to meet Jews they knew
about in other southern Kentucky counties.
They were then preparing to have Jewish
families from several counties meet together
to network. They were also conversant with
information about Jews in other rural parts of
the state. They mentioned that there had been
a synagogue in Harlan. I have no reason to
dispute that yet I found myself amazed at the
news. I had to begin to challenge my own
provincial ("Lexington-centric") regional View.

More recently, I attended a lovely evening at a
private home in Richmond. Jewish people
from Richmond and surrounding small towns
were invited. The response was quite good.
There was a strong sense of camaraderie and

good feeling based on
common Jewish
thoughts and feelings.
Although I recognized
some of the attendees from services in
Lexington, other were not affiliated and had
not been involved in Jewish community life in
any manner. The people at the Richmond
gathering decided they would continue to
meet, preferably in conjunction with Jewish
holiday Observances.

Meeting these Jews from the greater Kentucky
"Diaspora" was a very positive experience. I
was glad of the opportunity to meet them. I
admired their efforts to strengthen their
Jewish identity. I also concluded that we in
Lexington need to be especially welcoming to
people who come from a distance to worship
with us. It was also clear that Federation
needs to do all that it is able to encourage and
facilitate such gatherings in our greater
region.

Jacobo (Yankel) Stotland

Yankel Stotland was born in Narodizhe, in the
Ukraine, on December 3lst 1899, two days
after Hanukkah 5660. He was the first child of
Sarah (Malamud) Stotland and Mosheh
Stotland. By the time he was 15 he was an
apprentice at a printing house and a skilled
Yiddish linotypist.

The world in which he and his family lived
was anything but easy. By the time he was 15,
he had also witnessed several raids of
Cossacks in Narodizhe, and the growing
unrest of the
Russian and
Ukrainian
peasants that
would erupt a
couple of years
later in the
Russian
revolution. His
father Mosheh
wanted to take the family to a safer place, and
they got in touch with Sarah’s sister who was
at the time living in Philadelphia. While the
paperwork was ﬁled and ready, Sarah failed
the medical examination due to the eye
disease trachoma. With the doors of America
closed to them, the Stotland family headed for
Buenos Aires in South America with their four
children.

. Jacobo

When they arrived in Buenos Aires, Mosheh
started a business that was marginally
successful, but as few years and two more
children later, he died leaving Sarah a widow.
Yankel, as the oldest of the children, went to
work to help the family and became one of the
first Yiddish linotypists in Argentina. After
finishing his workday, Yankel used to go to the
Jewish Home and teach his trade to the
orphans. Eventually, during one of his Visits to
the Home, he would meet his future wife Pola
Schiffman, a pogrom survivor sent to Buenos
Aires by HIAS.

Jacobo (Yankel) loved his trade in every
possible way, and was in love with Yiddish
and Jewish culture. When a group of writers
and workers came together to start the first
Yiddish newspaper in Buenos Aires (Die
Presse), Yankel was with them. After some
disagreement among the partners in this
enterprise, several of them broke away to start
a second Yiddish newspaper, "Die Yiddishe
Tzaitung," Jacobo was among them. In his free
time, he helped the "SChreiber’s farband" (the
Yiddish writers’ circle) start a Yiddish literary
magazine by providing his services as a
linotypist for free.

From the Executive Director

Daniel Chejfec

Jacobo married Pola Schiffman and by the
mid-1930’s managed to save enough money to
start his own printing shop. Those were days
of social upheaval in Argentina; days in which
anarchists and communists controlled the
workers’ unions. Jacobo was, like most Jews at
the time, sympathetic to socialism and
communism. He was also interested in
Zionism, which explains how his daughter
Clara became active in the Hashomer Hatzair in

Buenos Aires.

On October 17th, 1944
many things changed
forever in Argentina.
Peron was brought to
power by the masses of
workers which
assembled in Plaza de
Mayo lead by Evita and
the union bosses. The
period of Peron’s first
administration was a dark age in which
individual freedoms were trampled. Jacobo,
always the optimist, believed in
the freedom of the press and saw
nothing wrong with printing
books of the communist publisher,
"La Rosa Blindada". The
government strongly disagreed
with him, and Peron’s thugs
invaded his printing shop and
trashed it. He was given a week to
leave the country.

The Stotland family moved to Uruguay for a
few years, where Jacobo was among the

WHEN THERE IS...

founders of the
"Uruguayer Morgn
Shtern", and where
they spent the end of
the war.

After a few years they moved back to Buenos
Aires and Jacobo worked as a linotypist for
"Die Yiddishe Tzaitung" until he retired. After
retirement he did part time jobs for a private
printing house composing Yiddish books and
magazines in the linotype.

Toward the end of his life, he learned that the
last Yiddish paper in Buenos Aires, the same
"Die Presse" which he helped found, was about
to close for lack of advertising. He then
volunteered to go out and seek ads for the
paper. It was while on that mission that he lost
consciousness in the street and died a few
days later of a brain embolism at the age of 77.

His daughter Clara married my father Jaime
Chejfec. My grandfather Jacobo was one of the
most
important
influences in
my life. He
taught me as,“ 1
love for ””35
Yiddish and
Yiddish

culture. He

was a ﬁghter.
He showed me his passion for justice and for
truth; his love for Israel. He will never die, for
he is alive in my memories and in my heart.

Hillel Happenings

By Andrew Grossman

My, how the time passes!

It’s been a few short months, and already the
semester lS waning. Finals and final papers
are looming 1n the weeks ahead, and all across
campus students are beginning to think ahead
to the spring semester.

For Hillel, it has been a year of revival and
enthusiasm. With the steadfast support of
Austin Cantor, our witty faculty advisor, and
Jana LaZur, our CKJF Jill-of—all-trades, the
Hillel has offered fun and exciting
programming so far this year, with much more
in store for the springtime.

Last month, we embarked into the wild,
untamed wilderness of Red River Gorge.

Aaron Kemper is the Piano Man!

After a few false starts (East on 1-64? I
thought you said West!) we arrived just in
time for a spectacular day. The weather was
warm (oh, so long ago, it seems) and the sun
was shining. Our resident botanist, freshman
Robin Michler, pointed out different ﬂora on
our hike, while VP Leah Craft and Jana went
above and beyond the call of duty to protect
Jana’s fragile camera.

We’ve enjoyed two Shabbat dinners together,
with members of the community and former
students joining our group to eat, drink, and
listen to Aaron "88 keys" Kemper tickle the
ivories. Between the heartwarming hospitality
of Judy Craft and the fantastic culinary
contributions of my mother, I’d say both
dinners were a resounding success.

Last week, Hadassah
held its ”Little Taste of
Israel" at the home of
Leah Craft. Israeli
food and wine were
enjoyed by around
fifty guests from the
local community, and
with the help of a
makeshift doggie bag,
even some members
who couldn’t attend
were able to savor
their own ”little taste."
(Thanks, Leah!)

This semester has
been a fantastic
success (final grades
still pending), and
we’ve got a great
group together for
next semester. We’re
planning on launching Shabbat-

Leah Craft, Joseph Broudy, Aaron Kemper, Tami O’Huyon, and Andrew Grossmtm enjoy a Hillel

a community service
project, making
connections with other religious groups on
campus, and expanding our Shabbat dinners
to twice a month.

More ambitiously, we’ve even discussed a trip
to New York to see the new Broadway
production based on the life of Golda Meir.

Sound interesting?

All Hillel events are open to members of the
Lexington community, and I encourage all of
you to attend Even if you’ re just popping in
to say hello, we ’11 make you feel welcome. As
a social group, we put the highest emphasis
on reaching out to our community, and as Jana
will tell you, we love nothing more than
getting new people involved.

If you want to find out more, drop me a line at
andrew330@yahoo.com. I’ll provide you with
a current copy of our ever-changing schedule,
and let you know about new events as they
get penciled in. Also, if you’re interested in
sponsoring a Hillel dinner (if I can do it, trust
me, so can you!) let me know and we’ll find a
time that works for you.

It’ s an exciting time to be Jewish in Lexington.
The officers and support staff for Hillel have
done a great job organizing events and
offering programs to pique any interest, and I
have every confidence that next semester will
be even better!

The only thing missing is YOU.
