CKJF BUDGET 8 ALLOCATION
PROCESS T0 BEGIN

 

CKJF's budget and allocation committee
will meet next month to discuss which
charities, outside of the United Jewish
Appeal should receive money from the
federation.

The committee welcomes suggestions for
funding, both for Jewish and non-Jewish
charities. The deadline for submitting
them is Feb. 1A and they should be sent to
the committee's chair, Evelyn D. Geller,
3A93 Sutherland Drive, Lexington, 40502.

CKJF sends 70 percent of the money it
raises through the General Campaign to the
UJA. Money contributed to designated
finds such as Operation Moses and Project
Renewal is used only for that purpose.

Administrative expenses are taken from
the remaining 30 percent.

The balance at the end of the fiscal
year is then combined with other federa-
tion income, such as interest on invest-
ments, and is distributed to other
charities.

Funding recommendations of the budget
and allocation committee must be approved
by the CKJF board. After this year's
recipients are designated, a list will be
published in the CKJF newsletter.

Serving with Ms. Geller are Harold
Baker, Bob Baumann, Gail Cohen, Halley
Faust, Judy Levine, Erie Levy, Stanley
Rose and Ricki Rosenberg.

In 1985, nearly $23,000 was distributed
to Jewish charities in the United States
and abroad aiding medical and welfare
programs as well as educational institu-
tions and youth activities. An additional
$2,000 was distributed to charities in
Central Kentucky.

Beginning in 1987, the process for
funding other charities will be changed,
with a specific amount being designated
in the 1986 federation budget to be
allocated in 1987.

JEWISH AGENCY MEETS IN U.S.

 

In an effort to forge closer links be—
tween leaders in Israel and those in the
diaspora, the Jewish Agency will hold its
Board of Governors meeting in New York
Feb. 18 and 19.

The meeting will give Jewish leaders in
North America the opportunity to observe
decision—making in the Jewish Agency,
which supervises many social welfare pro-
grams in lsrael. Members of the Agency
board and staff members will tour several
Jewish communities in the United States
and Canada after the meeting.

It will be the first time that the
Agency's board of governors has held a
meeting in the U.S. since the reconstitu-
tion of the Agency in 1971.

Editor's Note: A major portion of UJA
funds is allocated to the United Israel
Appeal, which in turn transfers to and
monitors the use hf these monies by the
Jewish Agency.

THANKS

ERLE LEVY, Campaign Committee Chair for
I985. You and your Men's Division Chair
ALVIN GOLDMAN and your Women's Division
Chair JUDY LEVINE led a most successful
campaign. Every dollar raised was chan—
neled into a network of services and
programs that directly and indirectly
improve the quality of Jewish life.

Events like Super Sunday 1985, co—
chaired by ERNIE COHEN and SUSAN MILLER,
raised monies that enable the Joint Distri—
bution Committee to ease the lives of

 

thousands of elderly Holocaust survivors
still living in Eastern Europe. Money from
Central Kentucky also poured into absorp-
tion centers in Israel where so many
Ethiopian Jews escaped famine and arrived
into the twentieth century.

Project Renewal Chair JO BELIN...our
thanks to you on behalf of the residents
of Netanya Sela. Their beautiful park and
so many of their social programs are in
place because of the generosity of Central
Kentuckians.

To CHARLES STERN, Chair of the I985
Israel Bond Drive, we speak for the govern-
ment of the State of Israel when we say
thank you for the dollars loaned to Israel
through the purchase of bonds.

The children who attended Camp Shalom
and everyone who participated in CKJF
programs join in with grateful thanks to
the 1985 fundraisers.

The I985 campaign was a great success
as $315,381 was raised. Erle, Alvin and
Judy...your leadership insured it. The
cooperation you received from the hundreds
of campaign workers guaranteed it. We
residents of Lexington and surroundings
are proud to be a part of this caring
Jewish community.

AND FROM ALVIN AND JUDY.............

Cabinet: Martin Barr, Robert Baumann,

SOVIET JEWS PROFILE

 

Samuel and Rachel Matveyev live with a
small group of other Jews on a collective
farm in rural Russia.

The community, called Ilyinka, was
founded before World War I by a group of
Jews fleeing pogroms. After the Russian
Revolution it became a kolkhoz, or col-
lective farm. The Jewish collective was
later forced to merge with another.

The Jews in the collective have at—
tempted to maintain a traditional way of
life and many have sought permission to go
to Israel. While a few were allowed to
leave, the Matveyevs, who have four child-
ren, were not among them. The chairman of
the kolkhoz has said he will never give
them permission to leave. He has refused
to forward mail from Israel containing
invitations to immigrate.

Five families protested by striking and
returning their farm equipment to the col-
lective. In retaliation, the collective
has denied them food, forcing them to sub-
sist on what they are able to grow them-
selves. Letters to the Matveyevs may be

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
TERROR IS INDIVISIBLE

FROM THE CONSULATE GENERAL OF ISRAEL
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

 

The Consulate General of Israel points
out that the recent airport massacres in
Europe are reminders anew that terror is
indivisible. That applies to Palestinian
terror as much as any other.

One cannot make a distinction between:
a) PLO terrorism and that of other Pales-
tinian terrorist organizations; or b) be-
tween terrorist activity in Israel, the
Administered Territories and abroad; and
c) between Israeli and Jewish victims, on
the one hand, and those of other faiths and
nationalities, on the other.

The latest assault on innocent, defense-
less passengers of international civilian
air facilities in Rome and Vienna were per-
petrated by two groups of terrorists pre-
sumed to belong to the Abu Nidal terror
organization. But the crucial point to be
made is that the PLO, which is the core of
international terrorism, cannot evade its
major responsibility.

The terrorization of international air
traffic - whether by blowing up or hijacking
aircraft in mid-flight or by holding their
crews and passengers hostage, or by shoot-
ing up departure halls in airports - was
introduced by the PLO in 1968 (the hijacking
of an El Al plane to Algiers). It has been
repeated countless times by various PLO
factions over the years since then.

The fact that the Abu Nidal splinter
group brags about the Rome and Vienna at-
tacks, does not absolve Arafat from his
overall responsibility. It is he and his
PLO that have made terror the norm in the
Middle East and the world over; and other
PLO leaders continue, to this day, to
advocate stepping up the ”armed struggle“
(a euphemism for terrorist activity) and
miss no opportunity to say so. Moreover,
the PLO continues to carry out terrorist
strikes.

Those who close an eye to this kind of
terrorism, while condemning that practiced
in Rome and Vienna, simply play into the
hands of all terrorists.

LEXINGTON JEWISH MUSIC SCENE

 

A picture of a Klezmer Band appeared on
the front page of the Wall Street Journal
in April of 1983, which read ”Lively 8
Soulful, Old Klezmer Music Undergoes a
Revival.‘I In smaller print, but still in
headlines, it continued ”Import from
Eastern Eur0pe Even Hits Carnegie Hall.”

What the reporter didn't know was that
a revival had taken place in Lexington,
Kentucky years before and a Klezmer Band
had been playing here for weddings, bar
and bar mitzvahs, congregation dinners
and special Jewish functions.

continued....

 

Larry Sherman, self-styled Jewish
musicologist of the Bluegrass, has been
keeping the Jewish Klezmer tradition alive
with his own Klezmer Band.

His players are mostly professional mu—
sicians now living in the Lexington Jewish
community. The jobs usually have been
tailor-made to fit particular needs like
the wedding of the Jewish bride and the
Latvian groom.

Chasidic and Israeli music have been
furnished for bar and bat mitzvah family
celebrations. Chanukah tunes were played
for the public at the Lexington Public
Library and at Dudley Square this past
December.

Larry has accumulated a small treasure
of Cantorial, Dance, Folk, Hebrew, Israeli,
Ladino, Liturgical, and Yiddish theatrical
music.

Like Klezmer Bands of yesteryear, his
groups have played appropriate music for
non-Jewish events also.

These talented musicians play accordian,
bass, clarinet, drums, flute, guitar,
halil, piccolo, piano, saxaphone and tam-
borine; and include vocalists who can sing
in Hebrew, Ladino and Yiddish.
