IT’S HERE!

SUPER SUNDAY
IS READY TO ROLL!!

Will you answer the call?

On Sunday, Mar. 23, sometime during the
day, chances are your phone will ring with
the most important phone call you will re-
ceive in this young year. How you answer,
what you tell the caller and how you res-
pond along with others in the community will
spell the difference between caring and not
caring, between showing concern and turning
a cold shoulder and between success and
failure at a time when failure could cost
in terms of human lives and living condi-
tions.

The call will be part of the fourth
annual Super Sunday phonathon planned by
the 1986 CKJF/UJA Campaign Committee.

Super Sunday co—chairs Vinnie Dubilier and
Joe Rosenberg said, “Responses we get from
the Central Kentucky Jewish community will
be a significant part of our effort to serve
our own local and American Jewish community
as well as Jews around the world. We want
everyone to consider their responses now
and be ready when the call comes. This is
the time for all of us to pull together.ll
Gail Cohen, 1986 General Campaign chair
.dded, "We are in the final stages of the
1986 campaign. Our final totals will
influence our ability to support national

 

and international needs along with local
concerns. Think especially of the Jews
still held prisoners in the Soviet Union
and the Ethiopian Jews recently arrived in
lsrael who still need our help in becoming
productive citizens of Israel.ll

Volunteers are still needed, Vinnie and
Joe said. They urge anyone interested in
helping to contact the CKJF office, 252-
7622, and leave a message. The tape machine
is always on when the staff is not there, so
messages can be left at any time.

Shifts are open at all four time periods.
The shifts run from 10 a.m. to noon, from
noon to 2 p m., from h p.m. to 6 p.m., and
from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Solicitors are asked
to report 30 minutes early for training.

Refreshments...and a lot of support from
fellow volunteers...will be available. ”We
want our volunteers to have a good time, but
at the same time we want them to know that
what they are doing is extremely important
for them and for the whole community,” said
Vinnie and Joe.

Assisting in the planning and production
of Super Sunday are: Charlotte Baer and
Sheila DeKosky, solicitor training; Halley
Faust, Terry Wilson and Bill Levy, records;
and Gigi White, food. In addition, Alan
Stein is arranging for visits by local
celebrities, and Jim Mischner and Bill
Milman are in charge of facilities.

Remember SUPER SUNDAY...MARCH 23. Be
there to answer the call...or come and help
make the calls. Help to make your phone
line a lifeline!

 

 

 Community Relations Committee Update

EXPLORES CONCERNS EXPRESSED FOLLOWING MARTIN LUTHER KING CEREMONY .

Members of Lexington's Jewish community
are looking for ways to improve communica-
tion with the black community in the wake
of a Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration
that included a speech that offended many
Jews.

The program prompted CKJF and Rabbi
William Leffler to write letters expressing
their displeasure to a program organizer,
William Parker, vice chancellor of minority
affairs at U.K. Rabbi Uri Smith held a
meeting with Parker, and the CKJF's Com—
munity Reiations Committee held a special
meeting to discuss the program and what
should be done about it.

The speech by the Rev. William Jones of
Brooklyn included expressions of sympathy
for Libya and a statement that terrorism
would end if Palestinians were given what
he said were their rights.

The Rev. Jones, a former Lexingtonian,
also told the crowd at U.K.‘s Memorial
Coliseum on Jan. 19 that he couldn't under—
stand why the Reagan administration had what
he characterized as too little concern for
Haitians while paying so much attention to
the plight of Soviet Jews.

Some of the Jewish people who attended
the observance -- which celebrated the
birthday of the slain civil rights leader
—— also expressed concern that the program
was so Christian-oriented. Some of the
prayers were offered in the name of Jesus.

In a letter to Parker on behalf of CKJF,
Community Relations Committee co-chairs
Marilyn Moosnick and Charlotte Baer said
that while they believed the program to be
successful ”it is important to make you
aware of portions of the program that
troubled some of the more than 100 Jewish
participants.”

”After our series of black/Jewish
dialogues in 198A, at which we attempted to
meet the needs of all those present with a
silent prayer, we have come to expect a
more ecumenical flavor at programs in which
we take part,” the letter said.

”We urge next year's committee to ex-
plain to any invited speakers that remarks
lauding the Palestinian cause and supporting
terrorism on its behalf, without further
discussion of the complexities of Middle

 
 

 

 

Eastern politics, can appear anti-Semitic
and can be very divisive when we are
striving for unity.”

Rabbi Leffler also wrote to Parker,
saying he was ”very much upset“ by the
Rev. Jonesl remarks and that he was dis-
tressed by the invocation given by the
Rev. Carl Belden.

”I believe he showed a great deal of
insensitivity to those who were present
and not Christians of his persuasion,” the
rabbi said.

The Rev. Paul Jones, dean of chapel at
Transylvania University, also sent a letter
to Parker saying: “The observance was not
publicized as a Christian worship service.
Consequently, I felt that the substance of
some of the prayers and keynote addresses
was an affront to our Jewish sisters and
brothers.”

Rabbi Uri Smith held a meeting with
Parker to express his concerns.

Rabbi Smith said that Parker told him
he would try to ensure that problems did
not arise in next year's celebration. Th
meeting was also attended by the Rev. Paul).
Jones, the Rev. Willis Polk and the Rev.
C.B. Akins.

At the Community Relations Committee
meeting Feb. 9, Rabbi Smith said: “i felt
needled all the time” during the program.

He noted that the names of two Jews
killed in Meridian, Miss., during the
civil rights movement, Michael Schwerner
and Andrew Goodman, were not included in a
list of movement martyrs.

Ellie Goldman, who attended the program
as a representative of the American Civil
Liberties Union, said at the committee
meeting she was ”very concerned and afraid”
because of the ”rampant, deep—rooted anti—
semitism in so many of the things that
were said” at the program.

”Somewhere there has been a failure in
the black leadership“ to explain to the
black community what King stood for,

Mrs. Goldman said.

The committee meeting produced a number
of suggestions for a response to the pro-
gram. Among them were:

*Restoring the black—Jewish dialogue,

in which members of the black and .

ON SCHARANSKY'S RELEASE

There is no one who cannot be moved by

.Anatoly Scharansky's release from the

oviet Union after his imprisonment since
1977. This hero to all
is finally free himself.

lovers of freedom
His release brings

great joy to his long-suffering wife, Avital,
who has wandered among the capitals of the
world seeking freedom for the man she had
not seen since just after their wedding day

197A.

on July A,

  

AvtIaK Schaaanéhg at CJF General Assembly,

November, 1985.
His release will now give hope to the
any others who remain behind, still trapped

in the Soviet Union: to Jews for whom he be-
came a symbol through nearly a decade of im-
prisonment, and to non-Jews, who were em-
boldened by Anatoly's advocacy of the idea
that all Soviet citizens have rights assured
them under the Helsinki Accords the Soviet
Union signed in 1975.

While he is an important symbol, he is
but one man. Moreover, if the emigration
trends of the last few years hold true,
then he was but one of a hundred or so
Soviet Jews who were permitted to emigrate
last month. From a high of more than
51,000 in 1979, the figure for last year
dropped to just 1,1h0. In January, only 79
Jews were allowed to leave for Israel.

A real show of good faith by the Soviet
Union cannot hinge on the release of one
man, even a man of such symbolic importance
and personal dignity as Anatoly Scharansky.

 

 

Even as he is freed from prison, and from
the larger jail of the Soviet state, other
Soviet Jews also guilty of the “crime“ of
wishing to live as Jews in the Soviet Union,
or emigrate to Israel, are harassed, ar-
rested, imprisoned. Until they are free,
the world cannot be appeased by this ges—
ture, as much as we rejoice at Scharansky's
release.

Editor's Note: This statement was issued by
the National Jewish Community Relations Ad-

visory Council in connection with the release
of Anatoly Scharansky from the Soviet Union.

SUSAN CANTOR

He went on to explain that Susan Cantor
has agreed to assume the chairmanship with
some proposed changes for 1986.

Late spring 1986 will see the inaugural
event of the recently endowed Elizabeth

funding support provided from the Forum
budget. As this is the only Forum program

Memorial Program will be a part of the
1986—87 series and all future Forum series.

Susan Cantor says she is in the process

A TIME FOR FUN

Purim is unique in the Jewish holiday
cycle because it is a time for unadultera-
ted joy! In spite of the su5penseful nature
of the story of Esther (Megillat Esther),
the ending is soul satisfying. The wicked
Haman is punished, the noble Mordecai is
rewarded, and the Jews lived happily ever
after in Persia.

Purim is joyous -- but with a serious
side as well. Perhaps this is the genius
of Purim -- the ability to genuinely re-
joice after a threat to life; the sense of
a people able to outwit the hostile forces
of history again and again.

Observance of the Purim holiday calls on
us to listen to the megillah (the scroll of
Esther) being read, to eat a festive meal,
to send gifts of sweets to family and
friends (Mishloach Manot) and to give gifts
to the needy.

It is during the reading of the megillah
that we are urged to literally “stamp out”
Haman's name, using noisemakers (graggers)
and feet. What fun for the kids!

It has become a tradition to dress in
costumes representing the Purim characters
and to present plays and other forms of
entertainment to accompany the festive meal

Gifts of sweets can take many forms, but
the traditional Purim treat is Hamantaschen
—- literally Haman's pockets. Following is
a recipe for Hamantaschen reprinted from
“The Spice and Spirit of Kosher-Jewish
Cooking.“ Enjoy!

the middle of each circle.

To shape into a triangle, lift
up right and left sides, leaving
the bottom side down, and bring both
sides to meet at the center, above
the filling. Lift bottom side
up to center to meet other two sides

ISRAEL BONDS TO HONOR
"HAPPY” CHANDLER

Charles Stern, CKJF Israel Bonds Chair,
announced that Israel Bonds will honor
former Governor A.B. “Happy” Chandler on
Sunday evening, May 18 at a gala dinner to
be held at Temple Adath Israel.

Chandler’s extraordinary career in
public service has included two terms as
Governor, a term in the U.S. Senate, and
serving as the Commissioner of Baseball
who first approved racial integration of
the major leagues.

Chandler traveled to Israel in the
early years of the State, met Ben Gurion
and other Israeli leaders, and has always
been a staunch supporter of Israel.

In making his announcement, Stern said,
”We are indeed fortunate to be able to
honor someone who has participated in so
much of our recent history. Governor
Chandler is truly unique. I hope the en-
tire community will show its support for
our honoree and for Israel Bonds.

“Israel Bonds has provided over $6.5
billion in development funds for Israel
over the past 35 years. These funds have
played a key role in Israel's economic
growth. Israel Bonds will continue to
stand by Israel as the nation plans and
builds for the future.‘l

MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO VISIT ISRAEL

 

NOW IS THE TIME

If you are among the 80% of American Jews
who have never been to Israel, now is the
time to go. If you are among the remaining
20% who have been there, now is the time to
go again.

And the way to go is through the Israel
Bond Organization, which has been assembling
unique synagogue, industry and trade delega-
tions to Israel for many years.

 

 

Bonds invites the special participation
of synagogues offering congregation members
and friends an opportunity to see an Israel
that no other tour can offer. I

The program is part of ”Operation Inde—
pendence“, the effort by leaders of world
Jewry to strengthen Israel's economy through
increased investments, trade and tourism.

For more information on the variety of
Israel Bond tour packages available, please
contact the Israel Bond Office, 3hll Bards-
town Rd., Suite IO, Louisville, KY A0218,
(502-A59—l896).

AMERICAN PROFESSOR FOR PEACE IN
THE MIDDLE EAST
SPONSORS STUDY MISSIONS

American Professors for Peace in the
Middle East is an academic organization
whose members represent varied opinions,
approaches, and solutions to the problems
and challenges confronting the Middle East.
Membership derives its cohesiveness from
the recognition that a greater understand-

ing of the complex issues is essential to .

the process which is hoped will lead to a
wider peace. APPME provides the academic
community with a scholarly forum to inves-
tigate these issues.

During the past l7 years APPME has
sponsored over 30 study missions to coun-
tries in the Middle East. More than 350
academicians have taken part in this
program.

The sole requirement for eligibility to
participate in a study mission is member—
ship in APPME. Preference will be given
to those who have never been to Israel.
Each study mission group reflects a wide
geographic representation and a variety of
academic disciplines and personal political
views. For this reason the missions are
organized to provide numerous opportuni-
ties for in-depth analysis from the perspec-
tives of various disciplines and to enable
individuals to pursue personal spheres of
interest within the established framework
of the mission.

Anyone interested in participating in a
future mission may contact the CKJF office
for an application form. .
