CKJA AFFILIATES WITH FQUR COURTSW
As you well know, CKJA has long been aware of Lexington's
need for a facility which would provide quality residential care
for our Jewish elderly. Two years ago, Four Courts, the
Louisville Hebrew Home approached CKJA with a proposal to extend
the services of their new facility to the Central Kentucky Jewish
community. Just within this past month the CKJA Board of Directors
reached an agreement whereby Four Courts has set aside five beds
to serve our local needs.
We are pleased with the opportunity to become associated with
Four Courts, a facility long known for its dedication to providing
its residents with a home built upon Jewish traditions and values.
Four Courts is more than a nursing home. It offers skilled,
intermediate and personal levels of care with individual attention
given by a dedicated staff. Residents can participate in a
variety of religious, cultural and recreational activities.
Of course, all meals are strictly Kosher and Sabbath services are
held regularly.
Sue Friedman has agreed to serve as liason with Four Courts.
She would be happy to talk to anyone who wants additional infor—
mation about Four Courts or about admissions procedures. Sue
can be reached at 266—5321.
The CKJA Board of Directors asks you to join us in supporting
a home for our elderly that offers the very best in a Jewish
family environment where each individual is treated with dignity
and respect. We hope that you will return the enclosed member-
ship card as a demonstration of your interest and concern.

RUSSIAN RESETTLEMENT NEWS
. Just about a year ago, CKJA welcomed the first Russian
JerSh immi3rant family to Lexin3ton, Leonid and Natalia Simanovsky
and their children, Roman, Marina and Ol3a. Adjustin3 to a new home
in a new city is always difficult. When that city is located in a
new country, the task is even harder. Happily, the Simanovsky family
has made the transition very well and, in the process, has also made
iountiess new friends. Certainly our city is enriched because they
ive ere.
In July, we expect to welcome another family, Gri3ory and Viktoria
Rozman and their son, Alexander. The Rozmans, who come from Vilna,
are both en3ineers whose specialties include desi3nin3 machinery for
the production of machine tools. Mr. Rozman has published several
articles on this subject. The family is particularly happy about
comin3 to Lexington because they have cousins, Gre3 and Irina Kaplan,
livin3 here. I
