IN THIS CORNER

I want to begin this article by
thanking all of you who supported me in
my words spoken before the Kentucky State
Senate. At a time when life becomes
hectic, it is wonderful to look around
and feel a sense of security recognizing
that you, my friends share my thoughts
and support my actions.

Many of you who called mentioned the
words courageous or brave. I thank you
for your kind words, but the truth is
that I followed my convictions. I was
angry over our State's traversing beyond
the wall of separation between church and
state. The catalyst behind of building
of the creche scene at the state capital
in Frankfort was the government.
Religion is not the role of government.

I appreciate the support of the
Herald—Leader in the editorials written

about the First Amerdment to the U.S.
Constitution. The local news coverage
has been fair even though the popular
feeling is very much against my
convictions and my feelings and my
beliefs.

All of us have convictions, areas in
which we feel we must contribute or
participate in order to achieve a better
life and a better world. When we act on
those convictions, we do justice to our
Jewish values of justice and
righteousness (tzedakkah) and compassion
(rachmanut). Recently, Gail Cohen,
president of CKJF, invited me to
represent Lexington by sitting on the
national board of the National Conference
on Soviet Jewry. This term of one or two
years will allow me to follow my
conviction of getting Jewish refuseniks

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL NEWS
KINDERGARTEN CLASS
Elayne Crystal, Teacher

Sunday, December 18th was a fun—
filled morning for all of the Sunday
School classes. Rabbi Adland suggested
we all work and share in learning about
one main theme.. . T‘zedakah/Mitzvot.

The Kindergarten children spent the
first hour discussing ways in which we,
here at Temple Adath Israel, demonstrate
Mitzvot and care for others. We read a
story about this and played Tzedakah
Concentration. The second half of the
morning all of the classes met and did
arts and craft projects. We then shared
our pnojects with each other.

The end of our Tiedakah day was
complete when the fire department came to
collect all the toys the children donated
for needy children here in Lexington. We
certainly had a wonderful response and
may toys were brought in.

The Kindergarten class made people
nepresenting various Temple members who
perform Mitzvot (good deeds).

I feel we all learned a lot from the
day and want to share a sampling of their
ideas with you.

Question: Give an example of a Mitzvot
someone does?

Answers: Lindsey Goldfarb — I help my
nrnnat home.

Rachel Haggin — A person can visit
someone who is sick and make
him happy.

David Eidelson — I sing '1 the Temple
choir and Mrs. Adland says
that's a Mitzvot.

JCnathan Friednan — Bringing Keren Ami
(Ttedakah) money each Sunday for the
poor people is a Mitzvot.

Ben Potter — Rabbi Adland does good deeds
when he helps people.

Absent — David Ravvin and Errol Strauss.

Thank you to Stephanie Russell for
helping during the crafts session.

SEVENTH GRADE CLASS

Roy Meckler, Teacher

The Seventh Grade is busy learning
about Judaism and Christianity. we
started out this year learning about the
differences between Reform, Conservative,
and Orthodox Jews — their laws,
historical roots, philosophy, and their
current practices. We visited Hebrew
Union College in Cincinnati. We learned
that all Reform rabbis must attend this
college cm coe in Los Angeles to be
ordained a rabbi. We also found that
anyone who is interested in scholarly
pursuits concerning Judaism and Biblical
history can also attend HUC. We visited
the museum which is entered as though one
were entering an archaeological dig in
Israel. We really enjoyed our visit to
HUC and hope to return there in the
future to see the rare book section in
the library and to talk with some of the
teachers at this special place.

Currently we are studying the life of
Jesus from a Jewish perspective to see
how the early developnent of Christianity
grew out of Jewish traditions during the
time of the Ranans in Israel. We have
seen a video called Jesus of Nazareth
which has a long presentation of Jesus as
a young boy. After the holidays we will
be visiting various Christian churches in
the Lexington area. Please feel free to
join us on any of our visits. We will
post a schedule on our door and on the
main bulletin board in the lobby.

SENIOR ELKIIK

Howard Kemp, Teacher
IHIJHTINSHIPS: A Jewish View

Our six week course was fun but
serious as we examined our roles in the
relationships we participate in — such as
friendship, dating and love, marriage,
and family. We identified with Jewish
perspectives and compared and contrasted
our relationships today with those of
Biblical and.bkdieval times.

Through exercises and role playing,
we became aware of our knowledge and
attitudes on moral values, traditional
Jewish wisdom, and our hopes and
aspirations for future relationships. It
was very evident that our expression of
thoughts and feelings in the class
demonstrated that we all have different
views .

  

T.A.I. m

permission to leave. I believe most of
these families will get out during the
1989 year.

Much of the success in the new
emigration policy is a result of the
application of the 15 year old Jackson—
vanik Amendment which tied U.S.—Soviet
trade to improvement in Soviet human
rights policies. The Soviet government
is recognizing the benefits of the U.S.
as a trading partner.

Even though 18 years of hard work by
the National Conference on Soviet Jewry
is finally being rewarded, it is not true
to relax our vigilance on Soviet Jewry.

that concerns the Soviet Jewish

the legitimate cultural ambitions and
desires of Soviet Jews. Many other
Soviet nationalities have had their
language approved as a national language.
Hebrew is not yet the official language
of Soviet Jews despite their continued
petitions. Second, according to the law,
parents may not teach more than three of
their own children at cne time about
religion. Even though this law is not
being enforced at the present time, the
Soviet Jewish community wants this law
repealed which would allow Hebrew and
Religious Schools to exist. Third, some
refuseniks are placed in the category of
refusenik as a result of their possession
of State secrets. The Soviet government
must identify how long someone may be
refused permission to enigrate based on
this knowledge. At this time there is no

policy.

The National Ctnference on Soviet
Jewry is interested in continued Jewish
travel to the Soviet Union to visit Jews,
but not necessarily only to visit
refuseniks. Soviet Jews want and need
Jewish education. Rabbis and educators
should be sent to teach about Judaism and
to teach Hebrew to this culturally
neglected Jewish oonnunity.

Our support is still critical in the
area of Soviet Jewry. we must continue
to press for freedom for those who wish
to leave and for education for those who
wish to remain. Only a concerted effort
by the entire Jewish community in America
and abroad will insure the rights of our
brothers and sisters. We must not only
say ”Let My people go,” but we must add,
"Let My people be Jews.”

SAUDI ARMS SALE PROPOSAL EXPBCHBD

In spite of assurances that sales of
advanced American arms to Saudi Arabia
would not occur until Saudi Arabia joined
the peace process, the Bush
Administration is now considering a major
arms sale to Saudi Arabia. Press reports
suggest that the sale may include over
100 F~18 fighter aircraft which are among
the most sophisticated fighters in the
U.S. arsenal. These plans could
seriously jeopardize Israel's security.

Although the actual size and scope
of the sale is not yet known, it is
imperative that elected officials now
receive our message of opposition to any
sale.

Saudi Arabia has not advanced the
peace process. They still maintain a
state of war with Israel by refusing to
recognize Israel's right to exist,

m-Hv—wm

bankrolling the PLO, and continuing the
Arab boycott.

In addition, at a tine when the U.S.
has opened formal diplomatic relations
with the PLO, the U.S. should not take
any action which might be interpreted as
weakening support for our strongest ally
in the Middle East —— Israel. On the
other hand, strong congressional
opposition to the proposed sale would
send a clear message of ongoing U.S.
support of Israel's right to exist.

Please write your members of
Congress and urge their opposition to
this sale. Write to senators at U.S.
Senate, Washington, DC 20510;
representatives at U. S. House of
Representatives, Washington, DC 20515.

Fourth Grade Class
Phyllis Russell, Teacher

Fourth Grade students have been
engaged in a variety of stimulating
activities as we cover the cbjectives of
our curriculum.

At the beginning of the year, we
toured our Temple and interviewed
prominent people associated with the
religious school. We also learned about
the different services provided by our
TEmple.

We talked about how the Talmud is a
Jewish classic and how its format differs
from that of the Bible, the Tbrah, and a
Siddur.

We discovered our Jewish identity in
discussing group membership and Jewish
life experiences. Mrs. DeBenedetti
taught us a Yiddish song and a song in
Ladino as we studied some differences of
Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jews. And we
found out that Host of us are Ashkenazic.

We spent some time studying the
meaning of Tzedakah and reported cn
Jewish people and Jewish organizations
that exemplify Tzedakah. As part of the
Mitzvot presentation which involved most
of the religious school, fourth grade
made a film strip depicting the eight
steps of Tzedakah according to
Maimonides.

We also worked 01 our Tu B'Shevat
program that was presented at the Family
Shabbat on January 20th.

Fifth Grade Class

Sixth Grade Class
Jana DeBenedetti, Teacher

The sixth grade Sunday school class
was polled to see how they felt about
what they learned and how they learned
it. When asked what they have learned so
far in 5749, they enthusiastically
recalled these topics: God, famous Jewish
people, Hebrew words, Bible, life cycle,
and Jewish identity.

They unanimously agreed that
learning is fun this year, and they look
forward to Sunday nornings. As a matter
of fact, they said they feel more
comfortable in the Temple than anywhere
but home. So if you see a sixth grader
around (you can look for them in the
Temple), ask them about the topics
they've learned or why its's fun in
Sunday school -— maybe we'll print the
results of your poll next time.
