The
President’s
Message

by
Evelyn Dcmlzie Geller

KADIMA;
ONWARD

or centuries Jews have had a watchword; “KADIMA,”

translated as “ONWARD.” Legend has it that “Kadima”

was used by both Bar Kochba and the Maccabees.
And many of us have heard it as we were packed ever more
tightly into a bus in Israel. The point is that whatever the state of
affairs, we always look forward. We always move toward
bigger and better things. Regardless of what is, we can only
improve the state of affairs.

1 often cogitate about this notion of “onward and upward”
when confronted by an anniversary. On the secular New Year,
with some trepidation, I make resolutions designed to improve
myself, wondering ifI really will be able to accomplish the
forward movement proposed. On Yom Kippur I ponder about
the difficulty I’ll have making the changes I must make if I am to
come to the next Day of Atonement with less guilt. On my
birthday I am more than a bit disconcerted that I may not live
long enough to do all the living vet to live. You get the idea. we“ -
Moying forward in a positive way. grtm mg as time passes is not
an easy undertaking. Yet we humans keep on keeping on as if
there were no other option. Well folks, an anniversary is ap-
proaching. Soon the Central Kentucky Jewish Federation
(CKJF) will have its annual celebration of a new Board. New
representatives of our community will embark on their leader-
ship roles. They will accept responsibility for helping us move
onward into the 21 st century. I wish them Yasher Koach and
pledge them my support and help.

But what I want to dwell on for a brief time are the two years
just past. In 1997, I accepted the presidency ofCKJF with
reluctance. I felt that the position should have gone to a younger
person who had better administrative skills. I still feel that way.
The problem is that so many of our potential leaders have no
history ofinvolvement in the Jewish community as well as
interests and responsibilities in a number ofother areas. I ask
you to let the new Board members know what CKJF must do
to encourage you to extend the sphere ofactivities and help us,
too. This is one area in which our forward movement was not so
great.

On the other hand there are many continuing volunteers as
well as some newly involved individuals who have served CKJ F
diligently and well. 1 want to thank all ofyou who have donated
funds to ourjoint campaign and time and effort to the success of
our committees and programs. Without your generosity the
components ofCKJ F—c. g. Jewish Family Services, the resettle-
ment program, the Leisure Club, the Campaign Committee, our
Community Relations efforts. the wonderful programs ofCom-

The Jews of Yugoslavia Under the NATO Bombing

March 29, 1999

By The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, Inc.

Overview

The approximately 3,000
Jews in the Federal Republic
of Yugoslavia (Serbia and
Montenegro) are organized in
a strong, J DC-supported
Federation of Jewish Commu-
nities centered in Belgrade. At
J DC’ 5 urging, the Federation
set up a Crisis Committee
many months ago to plan for
emergency situations. Their
plans are now being put into
effect.

At the moment, the entire
Jewish population is safe and
cared for. There is capable
leadership in charge and the
lines of communication, despite
certain difﬁculties, are largely
open. Jewish communities
from different European
countries are assisting in every

The Situation in

B uda pest

Beginning just before
NATO warplanes began to
bomb Yugoslav targets, the
Federation sent approximately
200 Jewish mothers. young-
sters, and children to safety in
Budapest, mostly in special
buses. At ﬁrst cared for by the
Budapest Jewish Community
by prior arrangement, these
individuals are now under the
care of J DC.

JDC is working successfully
in cooperation with the
Budapest Jewish Community
leadership. Also helping
considerably and included
among the group of 200 are
leaders sent by the Yugoslav
Federation, cultural workers,
and madrichim. The earliest
arrivals are lodged in the Balint
Jewish Community Center and
are making full use of the
center’ 5 facilities. Those who

arrived over the weekend are
being housed temporarily in the
Jewish Community’s Sandor
Seiber School. By the end of
the Pesach vacation, however,
new lodgings will have to be
found.

Of the group that has come
out so far, only a handful had
previously registered for aliya.
One small family from Kosovo
and one man from Belgrade
are to reach Israel this week
and have apparently been
invited to pass the seder with
Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu.

The group in Budapest sees
itself as being there to escape
the NATO bombs. They hope
that the ﬁghting will end soon
and that they can then return
quickly to their homes.

Inside Yugoslavia
Itself

In Belgrade, the
Federation’s Crisis Committee
has set up temporary shelters
in the Community building and
in the synagogue. They have
made special relief payments
to the poorest Jews and are
doing their best to met special
needs. All of the ample re-
sources sent in before the crisis
by J DC are now being de-
voted to this emergency and
other projects have been put
on hold. J DC and the Federa-
tion are in close and regular
contact.

While the Jews of Kosovo
are part of the Federation,

J DC is currently in direct
telephone contact with them
due to the special circum—
stances. Most live in Pristina,
which is 30 kilometers from
the Macedonian border. They
are mostly members of one

extended Jewish family and
will either leave all together or
not at all. At the moment, they
are choosing to stay put.

In cooperation with the
Macedonian Jewish Commu—
nity, arrangements have been
made to house the Kosovar
Jews should they decide to
leave.

The current Jewish popula-
tion consists of approximately

CKJF LEISURE CLUB UPDATE

by Ruth Moser
t just gets better and better. We meet, we eat, we have programs, we have
our service project with Hadassah, and in April we even had a Nutrition
Mission with Beth Loiselle, Dietician at the Good Foods Co—Op, as our
guest speaker. Where do we go from here?

In March, sixteen Leisure Club members met and ate at J onathan’s in Gratz
Park Inn. With Annette and me, and Shainey and Kim, it made twenty. It was
a bit crowded and hectic, but some how we managed. It was good seeing
Senta Frank and Ruth Freed again, and I was delighted to see Bea Milner.
The food was good, and Rebecca Gratz’s ghost was there, too.

We promised you musical soirees. In May, Kim Slaton and Sandy Adlan
will perform R&R (Rebbitzin and Rebbitzin) for the Leisure Club Lag Bomar
luncheon at the Temple. If you remember the last time they performed for us, it
was fabulous. And we will again have one of those six-foot tuna subs, with
cheesecake for dessert. And door prizes, too.

And in June we will go to Giuseppi’s on Nicholasville Road where we will
enjoy lunch in a private dining room.

Remember, we are a club that you don’t reallyjoin—you must come and
have a good time. At the Leisure Club you are never too old or too young.
Just come and bring your friends—or come and make new friends. It makes
Annette and me feel good when we work hard on an event and a whole gang
shows up. And we do work hard because we believe in the Leisure Club and
the service we are providing for C KJF and the Jewish Community. it?

President’s Message continued from page 2

munity Activities, our Leadership Development undertaking, our
administrative committees, Camp Shalom, and our professional
staff—would not be able to function. You made possible our
many and diverse undertakings, from the Yom Ha’atzmeut
celebrations, to our campership and scholarship program that
enables our young people to attend Jewish camps and study
programs in Israel, to our support ofAnytown and ADL, to
sending calendars to the Fayette County Schools, to a multitude
of other programs. You are CKJF and I am grateful for all you
have given to your Jewish community. I am certain that as we
move onward, your support will grow. My gratitude goes also
to the members of the CKJ F Executive Committee and Board
of Directors. Your wisdom has resulted in policies and actions
that can only beneﬁt the members of our community. Your
efforts, including the authorization of our 1 80 Day Committee,
reﬂect your commitment to the concept of “Kadima.”

Highest accolades, however, go to our professional and
clerical staff. All of our staff over the past two years have gone
far above and beyond the call of duty to assure that CKJ F
works and grows. Without their endeavors, none of our under-
takings would have been realized. Our programs would remain
plans. Our newspaper would be—if it existed at all—a ﬂyer. There

Still Fighting for Jerusalem

By Foreign Minister Ariel Sharon
arch 19 - It is a sunny winter’s day on the road that climbs up to Jerusalem. Driving
along the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem highway, we pass the memorial to Israel’ 5 Armored
Corps near Latrun. Whenever I pass this spot, I am reminded that what is today a
place for family hikes and visits was, 50 years ago, the site of bitter and bloody battles in our
efforts to open up the road to Jerusalem - which had been under siege and military attack by
Arab forces for several months.

As one who participated and was wounded in those battles, I find one thing hard to believe: I
find it hard to believe that 50 years after those bitter battles for the liberation of Jerusalem, we still
have to fight for Jerusalem, to repel the ongoing attacks seeking to undermine our right to this city
.- a city that has been the capital of the Jewish people for the past 3,000 years and Israel’s capital
for the past 51, and, indeed, for all time.

The denial, the refusal to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over Jerusalem, has been going on for
over half a century. In UN General Assembly Resolution No. 181 of November 1947, it was
proposed that the city of Jerusalem be internationalized. The Arab nations rejected the resolution
and promptly launched a war against the small Jewish community in the Land of Israel. Our
people made a heroic stand against the onslaught of seven Arab armies that invaded Israel.
Thousands of our young people died in this struggle, and tens of thousands were wounded. But
we won.

That UN resolution, therefore, calling for the internationalization of Jerusalem is null and void; it
no longer exists.

About a month ago, the Palestinian Authority invited the members of the diplomatic corps in
Israel to a “political briefing” in the Orient House. In response to this invitation, we sent a letter to
the ambassadors in which we made it unequivocally clear that the holding of a meeting of foreign
diplomats by invitation of Faisal Huseini would not only contradict the clearly stated and often
reiterated policy of the Israeli government, but it would also be a ﬂagrant violation of the Declara-
tion of Principles signed with the Palestinians in 1993. ‘

The determined stand we took in this matter - in contrast to the reaction ol’the pm ions
government in similar situations - this time resulted in the cancellation ofthe planned meeting.

The opposition, which attacks this government indisciminately on every issue, claims that it was
the action of the government that has placed the issue of Jerusalem once again on the national

agenda. I would like to remind the opposition that the issue of
Jerusalem has never been taken off the national agenda ofthe
Jewish people during the past 3,000 years.

Here are some historical facts and f1 gures concerning J erusa-
lem that all ofus need to keep in mind:

Throughout the history offoreign rule in Jerusalem - from the
Roman and Byzantine periods, through the Crusader era, down
to the time ofthe Ottoman Turks - the Jewish community has
maintained a continuous presence in the city, in the face of
repeated acts of persecution, pogroms and attempts at expul-
sion; just as, for some 3,300 years and down to this day. there
has not been a single day that Jews have not resided in the
Land of Israel.

Again and again. down the centuries, Jews have opted to
settle in Jerusalem. Since 1840. the Jews have comprised the
largest ethnic community in the City. From the 18605 to this day,
the Jews have constituted the majority ofthe city’s population.
In 1948, during the War of Independence, the Jordanians, after
heavy battles, captured the Jewish Quarter of the Old City and
demolished it, together with scores of synagogues and Jewish
institutions, some of them centuries old. Thus was Jerusalem
divided.

Jerusalem has always been the national capital of the Jewish
