CRC Chair, David Wekstein, and Co—Chair, Charlotte Baer, advise us that we
need a 16 mm sound movie projector and screen to project a movie Mr. Mermelstein
is going to share. If possible we need a big screen — not one used in home
living rooms. Are you the person who can solve the need? Volunteer the screen
and projector by calling CKJA at 277—8048.

OOPS!
BAR/BAT MITZVAH TWINNING — A POSTSCRIPT

We apologize for inadvertantly omitting mention of Becky Birenbaum who celebrated
her Bat Mitzvah in May at Temple Adath Israel, sharing it with Frida Mullokanov of the
Soviet Union.

Young people at the Temple preparing for Bar/Bat Mitzvah work closely with Rabbi
Leffler in making a decision whether to ”adopt“ a Soviet ”twin.” Information from an
organization called Action for Soviet Jewry is distributed to all pre—Bar/Bat Mitzvah
students.

If you or your children are interested in obtaining further information about
this project, please call Rabbi Leffler at 254—8815; David Wekstein, CRC Chair at
233~667l, or 269—4454 (home); or Charlotte Baer, CRC Co—chair at 257—5932, or
277—3072 (home). '

ISRAEL BOND COMMITTEE

The I983 Central Kentucky Israel Bonds Campaign was kicked off during the
lligh Holiday7 Seas(ni. (duiir(wl by lloz arui thirris IQUZtni :f

‘ Hirhmond, co-chaired by
Steve Caller, and supported by a large, active committee, this year's effort will

he a telephone and personal solicitation campaign rather than a dinner honoring a
local person. It is felt that hccause less than 10% of our Jewish community actually
attended the dinners, the new format will reach a larger segment of possible bond

Pllf(il;k$(d-5.

This year Israel Bonds offers a minimum $250 bond which is not interest bearing,
but is readily convertible to cash. The $500 bond, and increments above, bears the
usual 4? rate and matures in IS years. There is also an excellent bond available to
IRA's. Keogh plans, building funds and other such non—profit institutions at a com—
petiIiVe rate of 757 plus half the difference in the prime rate. Today it is paying

x-
94/!

Funds raised through the sale of Israel Bonds go to help build Israel's economic
infrastructure and to create jobs. This, of course, is the best route for Israel to
hccome self sufficient and able to compete in the world financial community. The next
decade will feature the construction of a water carrier—channel from the Mediterranean
Sea to the Dead Sea. This will provide hydroelectric power for Israel as well as
restore fresh salt water to the nearly depleted Dead Sea.

When you are called to purchase a bond, please respond with a positive and

supportive reply. For more information, contact R02 and Morris at 606-623—3865
