EROMILOUISVILLE TO LEXINGTON,

In a two—part education program series

spoke at Ohavay Zion Synagogue on Sunday, January 29 at a meeting sponsored by the
Women's Division Education Committee. Ms. Baron, who has just returned from special
Young Leadership Cabinet Missions to the Soviet Union and Israel, spoke on ”Reflections

HOW DOES CKJA SERVE THE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF CENTRAL KENTUCKY?
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FUNDS ALLOCATED FOR LOCAL USE?

The Board of Directors, the six standing committees and ad hoc committees,
as needed, administer an increasing number of activities designed to serve and
support the Jewish community.

Executive Committee: is responsible for administrative matters, such as main—
tenance of the CKJA office, hiring and supervising the Community Worker and
secretary. In an ongoing effort to enhance the capability of the entire CKJA
Board, the Executive Committee sponsors an annual Board Retreat, with the
assistance of the Council of Jewish Federations. A new program currently ad—
ministered by this committee is Interact, a program for leadership development,
with a goal of educating future leadership for all parts of the Jewish community.
The first group has been functioning for almost a year. Interact II is in the
planning stages and will be inaugurated during Spring, 1984. Since opening the
office and hiring staff 2% years ago, there has been a significant increase in
other areas of community activity as noted below.

Campaign Committee: conducts the general fund—raising campaign and the Israel

Bond Drive. Campaign workers receive education and training at regional and
national UJA conferences and workshops, in addition to local campaign events.

The committee administers a UJA/Missions to Israel and Washington D.C. support
program, providing financial assistance for participation in missions on a
selective basis. Lexington shares responsibility for a Project Renewal community,
Netanya—Selah, with Louisville and continues to raise funds to enhance the

quality of life there.

Community Activities Committee: is responsible for the Forum, Camp Shalom, pre—
school holiday parties, the annual Israel Independence Day Celebration, and an
Israeli Folk Dance program. The newest program sponsored by this committee is a
Jewish singles group for persons aged 21 — 41.

Community Relations Committee: oversees publication of the CKJA Newsletter;

provides educational programs to the Jewish, and occasionally, general community
dealing with a wide variety of topics —— political candidates forum, current
concerns in Israel and the Middle East, Holocaust Memorial, Soviet Jewry, etc.;
monitors the local media on issues pertinent to the Jewish community; and organizes
crisis response. This past year a Speakers Bureau was organized, a system of public
school liaisons was established to deal with iSSues affecting Jewish students, and

a Jewish faculty group is being organized.

Social Services Committee: administers the Emergency Loan Fund, Israel and camp
scholarships, and the Russian Resettlement program. Through the Community Worker
we also provide support services to New Americans and short—term counseling and
referral for individuals needing this service. New areas of service currently
being developed are a transportation service for older adults and outreach programs
for the Jewish prisoners at F.C.I.

Budget Committee: prepares the annual budget and recommends allocations of all
funds.

How Our Allocations TO UJA

Help World Jewry

ABOUT THE JDC

Ihe American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee was
founded in 1914 to aid Jews in Palestine and Eastern
I.urope caught in the war zones of World War |.

In November of that year the JDC began to distrib—
ute the income of the Orthodox Central Committee for
the Relief of Jews, the American Jewish Relief Commit—
tee and the People's Relief Committee, all of which were
acti\el\ raising monev for refugee relief.

Irom that dav forward the IDC has served as the over—
seas arm of the American Jewish communitv, providing
life-sax ing and life—sustaining programs and services for
lens and Jewish communities in everv corner of the

-rarth. The number of people aided during the past b9 vears
' .eaches into the millions. There has been a JDC pres-
ence at one time or another in over 70 countries.

»\ single criterion has guided the IDC through the
\ears: Jews in need should be helped and should be helped
to li\e as Jews. The scenes have changed and the needs
haxe changed and IDC has changed with the changing
times. Thus, in the period following the Holocaust the
maior need \\as for basic relief first and then rehabilita—
tion and education. In East European countries today
\\ here there are manv elderlv and ill survivors, the need
is for life maintaining programs. In \N’estern Europe and
North -\frica, with large numbers of children, the empha—
sis is on education. In Israel JDC programs have an
impact on almost everv aspect of social welfare.

It was once the dream of the JDC founders that when
the ’ emergencies" would be over the JDC would ”go out
of business." That dream was shattered hv the furious
pace of Jewish historv. JDC has become a vital instrumen-
talitv of the American Jewish community, reaching out
in service to the Jewish people — to aid communities
in need and in distress overseas and to impro\ e the condi-
tion of life for Jews everywhere.

Since I939 the bulk of JDC's income has come from
the campaigns of the United Jewish Appeal.

HITCH-A—RIDE

We have just come through the coldest December on record,
and January has been just as bad. Many of us, especially in the
55 and over group, are reluctant to go out at night in this
kind of weather, or don‘t wish to venture out alone at night.

The CKJA Social Services Committee has addressed itself to
this situation and is developing a new service for our Lexington
area members, age 55 and up. We want to make it possible for
everyone to attend the many cultural and religious activities
offered in our community.

Initially, we are offering transportation to the next CKJA
Forum event, on Sunday evening, February 12. (See enclosed flyer.)

Here's how it will work: Arrangements have been made with
a local cab company to pick up participants, 3-5 persons per
taxi, deliver them to the Ohavay Zion Synagogue in time for the
program, and bring them home afterwards. The charge for this
service will be $2.00 per person, round trip.

If you are interested in using this new service, please call
our coordinator, Marty Kaplan at 276—1H52, or the CKJA office at
277—8OH8 by Thursday, February 9, to reserve a space.

If there is enough interest expressed we hope to make similar
transportation available for Friday evening services and meetings 'I‘
or special events sponsored by our local Jewish organization.

CALL US! WE WANT TO SERVE YOU!

David Wekstein, Community Relations Committee Chair, reports that a total l, .
of 102 Central Kentucky Jewish faculty members were recently invited to meet
to discuss organizing a Jewish faculty group here. Twenty—eight people
gathered to hear the experiences of representatives of the University of
Cincinnati Jewish Faculty Council. The consensus was to work on the formation
of a faculty group here, and several people volunteered to draft an initial

proposal. Another meeting will be scheduled in February.

Michael Lieberman, Assistant Director of the Ohio, Kentucky and lndiana
office of the Anti Defamation League, recently met with members of the CRC and
other Jewish community groups. He discussed the role of ADL in the community
and responded to the questions and concerns of those present. Lieberman also
announced the establishment of a toll—free WATS line for the ADL office. This
was done to expedite communication with the ADL staff and to facilitate requests
for materials and information. The WATS line number is 1—800—821—8614.

HUMAN RIGHTS — from Congressman Larry Hopkins Newsletter, September, 1983,
following his trip to the Soviet Union....”Refuseniks are Soviet Jews who've
tried to get a visa to leave Russia but who have been refused time after time,
year after year. The Supreme Soviet was iot anxious that I talk with Refuseniks
but a meeting was arranged anyway.

One Refusenik divorced his wife eight years ago - not because he didn't love
her. but because he did - so she could leave Russia. She did: he didn't. He
hasn't seen her since. When asked what he believed the main difference between

America and Russia to be, he replied: 'lu Amcaica, you can do anything unit? feed

you can’t. in Russia, gcu can't do anything unt£€ teﬂd you can.’
A young lady, an architect trying to get out for six years, added: 'Thc _

Correspondence with them since my return has focused on helping them leave

Russia.” ....Congressman Hopkins spoke at the Women's Peas for Soviet Jewry
