Klezmer Conservatory Band
to Perform at Eerea College

As part of its convocation series this
fall, Berea College is sponsoring the
Klezmer Conservatory Band in a two—part
program on Thursday, Oct. 29, 1987 in the
Phelps Stokes Chapel on the Berea College
Campus.

The Klezmer Conservatory Band is
described by the Washington Post as “... a
riotous, gifted ensemble of 14 young
musicians celebrating a very precious
strain of Yiddish folk music, one that
discovered its voice in Europe and, when
transplanted to America, lapped up ele-
ments of jazz, rhumba and Tin Pan Alley as
well.” The Band is in the forefront of a
Klezmer revival movement in the U.S.

In a move to offer support and appreci-
ation to Berea College for its promotion
of the knowledge and awareness of differ-
ent cultures and heritages within our
area, the CKJF board of directors approved
a special grant of $100 which was forward-
ed to the Coordinator of Convocations at
Berea College. This support was made
possible once again by the Central
Kentucky Jewish community’s support of the
annual CKJF-UJA fund raising campaign.

On Oct. 29, at 3:00 p.m., Hankus
Netsky, founder and director of the
Klezmer Conservatory Band, and the musi-
cians will give a lecture/demonstration of
the history and subtleties of the music of
Eastern European Jews.

That evening, from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m.,
the Klezmer Conservatory Band will appear
in concert. Both the afternoon and
evening events are open to the public and
free of charge. We encourage all members
of the Jewish community to take advantage
of this wonderful opportunity.

On March 84, 1988, Berea College is
sponsoring The National Theatre of the
Deaf with a Lecture/Demonstration in the
afternoon and an evening performance of
”The Dybbuk". More information on that
program will be provided in the next few
months.

NOT THIS TIME

Following is an editorial taken from the
Near East Re ort, September 7, 1987.

After the Israeli Cabinet voted 18-11,
with one abstention, to halt development
of the Lavi fighter-bomber, Finance
Minister Moshe Nissim said, “It was simply
a case of bowing to reality. To have gone
on with the Lavi would have spelled an end
to our economic recovery program."

Israel had spent seven years and $1.5

billion —— most of it American military
aid -- to put two Lavi prototypes into the
air.

The decision not to produce the Lavi
will cost approximately $400 million in
termination fees and end the jobs of at
least 2,000 to 3,000 Israel Aircraft
Industry (IAI) technicians, engineers and
scientists. Additionally, cancellation
could prove to be a blow to the entire
country.

But building the Lavi would have
required an estimated $500 million a year
(some U.S. tallies were closer to $1
billion annually) for the next four to six
years. For a country with a gross nation-
al product (GNP) of roughly $26 billion
and an annual defense budget which already
consumes about $6 to $7 billion, it was
too much.

In fact, Lavi "savings" might not get
directly into the export sector. Israel’s
military has several major and many minor
acquisitions on hold because of cuts in
defense spending in recent years. Press—
ing needs include new submarines, new
missile boats, new and more combat heli-
copters, continuing upgrading of the
armored corps, restoring funds for train-
ing, for routine procurement and military
research and development funds.

So Finance Minister Nissim, displaying
the political courage which has marked his
term in office, broke with his Likud
colleagues and voted ”no“ on Lavi.
Labor’s Minister of Health, Shoshanna
Arbeli—Almoslino, a supporter of the
plane, bowed to party pressure and ab—
stained. Labor leader and Foreign Minis—
ter Shimon Peres, a last—minute convert to
opposition, proposed a plan to keep IAI
competitive without the Lavi.

Israel’s unity government already has

weathered several tough assignments.
Putting the Lavi decision into proper
perspective will be another. Lavi sup-

porters and critics both can claim a large
chunk of the truth: Israel needed the
plane, but Israel could not afford the
plane.

Removing the Lavi should enable Israel
to increase the budget in other areas of
military modernization. It also should
resolve a snag in U.S.—Israeli relations,
and open new opportunities.

Soviet Union and Israel

to Make Film

JERUSALEM - Israel and the Soviet Union
are planning their first joint movie, a
comedy about the misadventures of a
non-Jewish Soviet citizen who emigrates to
the Jewish state, an Isareli filmmaker
said yesterday.

“It’s a funny film that makes jokes
about the bureaucracies of both coun-
tries,” filmaker Yitzhak Kol aid. ”Ameri—
ca warmed up to China through ping-pong.
Maybe we are starting with the script of a
movie.”

Kol, the president of 6.8. Israel
Studios Jerusalem, said the idea was born
five months ago when Israeli—born Menahem
Golan, president of Cannon Films of the
United States, visited the Soviet Union
for a film festival. Golan suggested to
Soviet officials that Cannon coordinate
with an Israeli and Soviet film company to
make the film, Kol said.

The Soviet Union cut ties with Israel
after the 1967 Middle East War, but
relations between the two countries have
improved since Mikhail S. Gorbachev came
to power in March 1985.

Associated Press, Lexington Herald-Leader,

Jerusalem Banned From

Historical Cities Conference

The following is reprinted from Boycott
Re ort, August/September, 1987, a publica*
tion of the American Jewish Congress.

Jerusalem Banned From Historical Cities
Conference

Despite protests from Ray Flynn, Mayor
of Boston, and others, the Kyoto [Japan]
City Council has voted to exclude the city
of Jerusalem from the World Conference of
Historical Cities to be held in Kyoto in
November, 1987. The Kyoto City Council
has invited 35 ”historical” cities from
various countries, and had originally
planned to invite Jerusalem, but protests
from Damascus induced Kyoto to drop
Jerusalem.

Boston and Kyoto have for some years
regarded themselves as sister cities. In
his letter to the Mayor of Kyoto, Mayor
Flynn pointed out the anomaly of not
inviting Jerusalem, not only one of the
oldest cities in the world, but one which
has played a great role in the history of
religion.

Kyoto justified its rejection of
Jerusalem by stating that the city’s
status was a subject of political contro-
versy and the the UN General Assembly
passed a resolution on Dec. 15, 1980
rejecting Israel’s annexation of Jerusa-
lem.

The Kyoto City Council’s decision is
not an isolated instance of Japanese
political bias against Israel but one more
indication of Tokyo’s political and
economic boycott of the Jewish state.

On another front, two Congressmen, Mel
Levine (D. Calif.) and Robert T. Matsui
(R. Calif.) (himself of Japanese ances-
try), began rounding up a group of their
colleagues to protest to Japan’s Ambassa-
dor, Noguo Matsunaga, the exclusion of
Jerusalem from the conference. Their
circular letter described the exclusion as
”unjustified" and said that it raised
concerns of ”political bias and preju-
dice“. As we go to press, 60 House
members have signed the letter.

Israel’s Economy
Shows Improvement

The following is reprinted from Boycott
Re ort, August/September, 1987, a publica-
tion of the American Jewish Congress.

An optimistic report on Israel’s
economy has just been issued by the
Committee for Economic Growth of Israel
(CEGI). Among the favorable items cited
by CEGI was that the Israeli consumer
price index only rose by 4.5 percent in
the first quarter of 1987. In 1986, the
consumer price index was up 9.7 percent
for the year, compared with a 186 percent
inflation rate in 1985, and a horrendous
inflation of 445 percent in 1984.

Israel’s foreign currency reserves rose
$58 million in March 1987 and by May 1987
stood at $4.3 billion. However, Israel’s
foreign debt increased by $884 million in
1986 and totaled $84.88 billion by
year—end.

Israel, like the U.S., continues to be
plagued by an unfavorable trade deficit.
In the first quarter of 1987, imports
increased by 84.5 percent while exports
only increased by 11.5 percent. In 1986,
imports totaled $9.88 billion and exports,
$6.98 billion. Excluding diamonds,
Israel’s principal exports in 1986 were:
metals, machinery and electronics
amounting to $8.10 billion; chemicals,
$718 million and agricultural products and
fuel, $876 million. One third of its
exports went to the U.S. The second
largest destination was the U.K. with 7.9
percent. Only 3.3 percent went to Japan.

Israel’s principal imports in 1986,
apart from the diamonds, were spare parts,
fuel and lubricants, vehicles and consumer
durables, iron, steel and food. One—fifth
of Israel’s imports came from the U.S.;
11.8 percent came from Belgium and
Luxembourg.

Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics
has also published rather optimistic
findings. The gross domestic product rose
by two percent in 1986, with the private
sector showing a four percent increase.
The “standard of living” increased by 18
percent last year and continued at the
same rate in 1987. Unemployment dropped
from a high of 7.9 percent in mid—1986 to
5.7 percent in the first quarter of 1987,
a rate lower than that of the U.S.

Dear Friends,

The needs of the Jewish people world—
wide demand our attention in every season.
We are concerned over the fate of Soviet
Jews, and are engaged in supporting the
resettlement in Israel of those who are
able to emigrate. We are concerned with
the well-being of Jews of all ages in 34
countries around the world, from Israel to
Morocca, from Yugoslavia to Argentina.
When will we ever be able to say that our
responsibilities are completely fulfilled?
Indeed, when the day comes that only a
single righteous deed remains to be
performed, we will still remain challenged
—— a challenge Jews have always accepted.
Of the 613 mitzvot enumerated in Jewish
tradition, only tzedakah is called The
Mitzvah.

And so, this Rosh Hashanah, as we
review the past year and look forward to
the next, and as we reaffirm our heritage,
let us make this time of awe into a time
of unity regarding the needs of our
people. Ne stand as one before G-d. Let
us stand as one with one another.

As the New Year begins, we embark on
the 1988 CKJF—UJA Campaign. 1 hope all of
us will be involved together in this great
endeavor of tzedakah. Through this
community involvement, our personal
renewal can be extended far beyond the
High Holidays. Please watch for and
support the exciting 1988 campaign events
and together we can strengthen Central
Kentucky’s contribution to the Jewish
people.

May we all be inscribed for a good
year.

Sincerely,
Simone Salomon,
Campaign Chair
