WORLD JEWRY PREPARES FOR
PASSOVER 1985

The escape of the Jews from oppression
and enslavement which they had suffered
at the hands of the Pharoahs is an histori-
cal fact of striking symbolic relevance to
the desire of Soviet Jews to be free of
their oppression by the Soviet government
and the recent influx of Ethiopian Jews
to Israel. Pesach celebrates freedom.
Matzah is ”the bread of affliction.” Jews
are enjoined to teach the young the story
of the exodus and, at the seder and through-
out the week of the festival, to remind
themselves that they were slaves and were
brought forth to freedom.

Israel, (2) Commission on International
Community Relations Concerns, (3) Commission

8 pm.

TEMPLE ADATH ISRAEL

CELEBRATE THE 37TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL

with Chava Alberstein. Like the troubadours of the Middle Ages, who brought songs of
love to the people, Chava Alberstein brings her unique interpretation of love songs
to the people of Israel....and now to the people of Central Kentucky. Chava's songs
epitomize the poetry of the Israeli spirit. Through her, we relive the changing
season, especially the sadness and soul—searching which accompany the end of summer,
the harvest, the start of a new spiritual year.

Chava Alberstein's career started when, as a child, she won first prize in a talent
contest held in her home town, Tivon, near Haifa. High school graduation was followed
by Army service — where soldier—Chava soon became soloist in the Army—Entertainment
Corps. Army life was followed by university days and the beginnings of a professional
career and a recording contract with CBS/Israel. Chava's achievements are impressive.
She has recorded thirty LP's, including records of children's songs and traditional
Yiddish tunes. She won the prestigious David's Harp Award six times. She was twice
awarded the Silver Rose Award, presented to the best singer of the year and the best
album of the year. Her latest award was presented in honor of her album, ”Voices.“

In addition to singing, Chava played a leading role in the major Israeli movie,
”Intimate Story.”

Tickets to this CKJA Israel Independence Day/Forum Celebration are available at the
door, or can be ordered by sending a check payable to C.K.J.A. to Dr. William Levy,
515 Lone Oak Drive, Lexington, KY 40503. Patron tickets are $20/person; series
tickets are $lO/person. At the door tickets are $6/person or $l/person for full—time
college students. Children of season ticket holders are admitted free.

Arrangements for Miss Alberstein's appearance were made through

FROM ONE JEN TO ANOTHER

The pages of this newsletter are most often used to describe the needs of
Jews in Israel and around the world. Our CKJA—UJA Campaign emphasizes our global
responsibilities —— our oneness with our fellow Jews. We speak, too, of the
financial obligation that is a part of our peoplehood. In recent years we have
expanded our focus to heighten our awareness of local needs and the enhancement
of our own Jewish community.

In the past several months a new dimension has been added to our Jewish
awareness. The University of Kentucky Medical Center has a bone marrow trans—
plant unit for the treatment of Leukemia, and several Jewish families have come
to Lexington because their children are suffering from this disease. Patients
come here because this is one of three centers in the U.S. that will carry out a
bone marrow transplant even though the donor and recipient are not a perfect
match.

Last December,Roger and Rocille McConnell came with their son Stuart
Altschuler. The Lexington Jewish community, as soon as it was contacted, opened
their collective arms and hearts to the family and the numerous friends and
relatives of the McConnells who came to add their support.

Sadly, Stuart's transplant did not have the desired effect and he died last
month. But in spite of our sadness and the grief experienced by the McConnells,
we felt a special satisfaction in having helped the family in its most trying
moments. They, in turn, expressed deep appreciation for the support and affection
they received from us.

Now, we have another child, Marc Rosenzweig, from Framingham, Massachusetts,
who is a patient in the same unit. He is accompanied by his mother, Brenda, and
is visited on weekends by other members of his family. Marc received his bone
marrow transplant a little more than three weeks ago.

Many members of the community have already visited the Rosenzweigs, and we
hope others will. Marc is 10 years old and loves video games and sports. Cards
and letters of encouragement are welcome. He is at the U.K. Medical Center,

5 North.

There is also a need for blood donors who will give blood in Marc's name to
help replace the blood that has already been given to him. Donations can be made
at the Central Kentucky Blood Center on Waller Avenue.

CKJA, through the efforts of the board, the Social Services Committee, and
Administrator Judy Saxe, make every effort to reach out to the members of our own
community and those who come here with special needs. Temple Adath Israel also
has a committee, called the Caring Community, which works closely with Rabbi
Leffler to respond in the same way. Judy and the Rabbi communicate frequently
in order to coordinate these activities. Additional offers of assistance are
always welcome. Call Judy Saxe at the CKJA office, (606)252—7622, or Rabbi
Leffler at (606)269-2979.

SHARI ELDOT FUND

Another month has passed with little change in Shari's situation. She
continues to wait, in Richmond, Kentucky, for an appropriate donor match. CKJA
also continues to urge the members of our Central Kentucky Jewish community to
share in the mitzvah of saving a life. We hope Shari will soon receive a new
heart, and meanwhile we hope you will open your hearts and contribute to the CKJA
Shari Eldot Fund. Checks should be made out to the fund and sent to CKJA,

OFFICE RE-OPENS

Jerusalem, Israel——The Council of Jewish
Federations recently re—opencd its Israel
office. Re—opening of the CJF office in
Tsrael will enhance the relationship be—
tween North American Jewish Federations
and Israel and will fulfill specific pro—

gram functions for CJF member Federations.

The goal of the office is to keep key
lsraclis more informed and aware of the
agenda, services, programs and issues of
the North American Jewish Federation
movement thus improving the effectiveness
of dialogue and cooperation between the
two communities.

The Council of Jewish Federations is
the association of 200 Federations, Wel—
fare Funds and Community Councils which

serve nearly 800 communities embracing
a Jewish population of more than 5.7
million in the U.S. and Canada.
Established in 1932, the Council
serves as a national instrument to
strengthen the work and the impact of
Jewish Federations through leadership in
developing programs to meet changing
needs in the Jewish community; the ex—
change of successful experiences to assure
the most effective community service; es—~
tablishing guidelines for fund raising and
operation, and through joint national
planning and action on common purposes
dealing with local, regional and inter—
national needs.

1985 PASSOVER

PASSOVER IS AN OCCASION ES—
PECIALLY FITTING FOR REMEMBRANCE
OF OUR BROTHERS IN THE SOVIET
UNION, OF THE ETHIOPIAN JEWS WHO
HAVE RECENTLY MADE THEIR WAY TO
FREEDOM, AND TO ALWAYS REMEMBER
THOSE WHO DID NOT SURVIVE TO CELE‘
BRATE IN FREEDOM. WE HOPE YOU
WILL INCORPORATE SOME OR ALL OF
THESE SUGGESTIONS IN YOUR SEDERS
THIS YEAR.

At the family seder, place an empty
chair at the table to symbolize the de—
nial to Soviet Jews of the means of cele—
brating the event, perhaps with an en—
larged photo of a refusenik or prisoner.
Have a fifth son, Ivan (the one who isn't
free) ask, for example, "Why can't we
awewmtePaadiwxhowiﬁalmulme'
Answer: We shall work for a time when
all Jews will be free to celebrate Pesach
in whatever land they please.

The leader, when explaining the
meaning of the matzah, holds up a fourth
