MICKEY BARON (FINALLY) ADDRESSES
WOMEN’S DIVISION

The big news in Lexington and the
Jewish community this winter was the
snow and cold. But Jewish commitment
is equally newsworthy. After two
prior attempts, Mickey Baron, past
national chair of the UJA Young
Women's Leadership Cabinet, finally
made it to Lexington on February 17.

Within the context of her presen—
tation which emphasized commitment to
our Jewish community world—wide and
at home, she described the plight of
Soviet Jews and the absorption of
new Ethiopian immigrants to Israel.

The story of the Ethiopians, once
they arrive in Israel, is heartwarming
—- yet requires our financial commit—
ment to help the Israelis make their
adjustment as smooth and effective
as possible.

The story of the Jews of the So—
viet Union is tragic and frightening.
Mickey gave many personal vignettes

 

from her trip —— of meeting in parks
with refuseniks to avoid surveillance
and bugging by the KGB; of meeting
with a group in an apartment, and
having the police show up at the
door; and of the great fear that the
refuseniks have that they might be
forgotten by their fellow Jews.

Each letter, each visit, each con—
tact gives them the courage to conti—
nue their struggle.

Steve Caller also spoke, following
up his outstanding December presenta—
tion with a further update on the
Ethiopian Jews.

Judy Levine, Women's Division
Chair, announced that individual so—
licitations would be completed in the
next two to three weeks. Emphasis will
then shift to preparation for Super
Sunday and the community—wide effort to
reach out to every Jew in Central
Kentucky.

ISRAEL STEPS UP EFFORTS TO SOLVE ECONOMIC CRISIS}
ROLE FOR U.S. JEWS SEEN

Jerusalem —— Israel's efforts to solve its economic problems has entered a
new phase as the comprehensive 90—day freeze on wages, prices and taxes is being
replaced by an eight—month program to further limit costs and increase revenues

by some $600 million.

The Cabinet unanimously approved a $23—billion budget structure for the fiscal
year beginning April 1. While the budget cannot reduce debt service (38 percent),
it cuts defense spending another $300 million (to below 30 percent). Discre—
tionary areas must be reduced at least 10 percent, including humanitarian spending.
A government spokesman told UJA Watch Desk, ”We're not through yet; more cuts are

planned."

All Israelis share in the struggle to rebuild their economy, and we Jews in
the U.S. must help, through the CKJA/UJA Campaign. Funds collected from UJA
campaigns support Jewish Agency programs for housing, financial aid, health care,
vocational training and Hebrew instruction for Israel's new immigrants; the estab—
lishment of rural settlements in the Galilee, Arava and Negev; Youth Aliyah faci—
lities for the education and care of youngsters who remain outside the mainstream
of Israeli society, and special programs for the elderly so they may spend their

final years in dignity and comfort.

 

ADL Praises
U.S. Action On
Lockheed Bias

New York (JTA) —— The Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai
B'rith (ADL) recently commended
the U.S. Commerce Department
for its handling of the Lockheed
Corporation's violation of the
antiwdiscrimination provisions
of the Export Administration
Act. The ADL had earlier
brought the violation to the
attention of the Department.

Abraham Foxman, ADL'S
associate national director and
head of its International Af—
fairs Division, said the ADL
had informed the Commerce
Department that a Lockheed sub—
sidiary, Lockheed—EMSCO of

Houston, posted an internal job
notice for research chemists in
Saudi Arabia which stipulated:
”The customer has stated no
Jewish applicants or women
would be acceptable.H

Under the terms of a consent
agreement announced on Jan. 18,
Lockheed was fined $10,000 and
stripped of its export privi—
leges to Saudi Arabia for a one—
year period.

In praising Commerce's ac—
tion, Foxman declared that ”it
is a clear re—affirmation of the
Department's determination to
combat Arab boycott activity,
including religious discrimina—
tion against Americans."

 Ethiopian Jews:

"The State 06 Innaei Ahaii be open to Jooiéh immigaation
and the ingatheaing 06 exiieé."

Pnociamation 05 Independence, 1948

Rehovot, Israel -— The
citizens of Kiryat Shmoneh
in the Upper Galilee were
less than enthusaistic
when they were informed
a year and a half ago that
54 Ethiopian Jewish fami-
lies were to be sent to
their town.

Having suffered for
years from P.L.O. Katuska
rockets and terrorist
raids -— as well as from
unemployment more recently ”
—— they had no desire to
be saddled with yet another «”_
problem.

Today the townspeople,
and especially the resi—
dents of the Eshkol
Quarter where all the
Ethiopian Jews live, are
pleased to have the new—
comers in their midst.

The experience of Kiryat Shmoneh is encouraging at a time when Israel has not
hundreds but thousands of Ethiopian Jews to absorb. Real absorption, of course,
is not a matter of a year and a half; it will require a generation or even two.

And in this sense the Ethiopians in Kiryat Shmoneh also have a long way to go be—
fore they become true Israelis, whatever that may mean.

While those dealing with them, officials at the Jewish Agency and the Absorption
Ministry, are an extremely devoted group, they themselves are not sure what policies
should be pursued now that the initial goals —— teaching the Ethiopian Jews how to
use electricity and gas as well as how to flush a toilet and fill out an application
form -— have been achieved.

For example, present plans call for turning the Kiryat Shmoneh Absorption Center
into a regular housing estate and having the Ethiopian Jews remain there. But this
is opposed by some of the people working with them and by most of the Ethiopians
themselves because, they warn, it would create a permanent ”black ghetto”. They
believe it would be better to split the group and send a few families to live in
each Kiryat Shmoneh neighborhood.

Even more serious are problems that arise from the fact that insufficient atten—
tion is being paid to the cultural and religious heritage of the Ethiopian Jews.
Despite the existence in Israel of Ethiopian rabbis, religious ceremonies in Kiryat
Shmoneh are being conducted by local rabbis in a manner that the Ethiopians find
foreign. When the town had its first Ethiopian wedding, for instance, there was

nothing distinctively Ethiopian about
it. The rabbi was Moroccan, the cloth—
ing worn by the young couples was Euro—
pean and the food was Middle Eastern.

Overall, Menachim Amit, Director of
the Mental Health Clinic in Kiryat
Shmoneh, is amazed by the resiliency
of the Ethiopian Jews, both psycholo—
gical and physiological. Despite the
fact that they have moved from the
Stone Age to the 20th century over—
night, most manage to find their feet
here.

In Kiryat Shmoneh, following ten
months of Hebrew studies and vocational
training, 90% of the able—bodied men
obtained employment in textile factories,
packing plants or construction companies.
Now, in a radical departure from tradi—
tional mores, the younger Ethiopian
women are also being trained for jobs
outside the home. It only remains to
be seen whether their husbands will
actually allow them to go to work.

The Ethiopian children have adjusted
most quickly and successfully of all.
The educational achievements of the
boys and girls from Ethiopia are parti-
cularly impressive considering that
only four of the Ethiopian adults in
Kiryat Shmoneh knew how to read and
write any language when they arrived
in the town.

Indeed, when the annals of Israeli
immigration are finally written, the
Ethiopians may prove as successful as
the Yemenites, another group which ——
though coming from a primitive back-
ground —— ultimately made enormous
contributions to Israeli society.

The Central Kentucky Jewish community welcomes Imer Steier, Israel's Shaliach
to the Louisville Jewish community. Imer has already been living in Louisville
for a year with his wife, Lea, and his two children, Sharon and Alon.

Shlichim (plural of Shaliach) are representatives of Israel sent by the Jewish
Agency to this country to educate Americans about Israel. The Agency has chosen
wisely with the Steier family. Teaching runs through their veins. Imer attended
Haifa University and received his B.A. degree in Jewish History and Political
Science. Lea attended a Seminar for Teachers at Haifa University for two years.
Both have been teaching ever since. Prior to arriving in Louisville, Imer served
as principal at a school in Beth—Sham, a development city, and Lea has taught
elementary school for the past twelve years in Nazareth—Elit. Imer also was princi-
pal at a junior high school in Afulla and before that spent five years as a teacher
at an agricultural high school in Nahalall.

The Steiers had an earlier experience as shlichim when they spent two years
in Winnipeg, Canada from 1976 to 1978. Both taught in a local Hebrew day school
there.

Imer has already visited Lexington several times, most recently on February 22
when he spoke at Temple Adath Israel. His next visit is scheduled for Sunday,
March 24 when he will lead a special Lexington Hadassah study session dealing with
”The West Bank or Jerusalem: Then and Now".

NEH ISRAEL STUDY PROGRAM ANNOUNCED BY U.K.

A summer program in Israel has been organized by the University of Kentucky,
the University of Louisville, and Michigan State University to provide under—
graduate, graduate and non—traditional students with a unique study and travel
opportunity in the Middle East's most vibrant nation.

Through university lectures, visits with community and government leaders
and contact with the diverse peoples of Israel, participants will examine the
critical issues facing that nation's society: Arab—Jewish relations; economic
development and fiscal crises; immigration, assimilation and settlement of new
lands; problems of urban—rural, ethnic and cultural disparities. The program
maximizes student exposure to the critical dilemmas facing Israel and the Middle
East, and promotes greater understanding of the problems and potentials of this
fascinating region of the world.

Academic credits are available in the fields of Allied Health, Sociology, and
Political Science. Deadline for receipt of applications is March 15, 1985 and
must be accompanied by $100, refundable only if the program is cancelled. For
further information on this Israel program, especially the academic component,
contact Professor Dan Frank at (606) 254—7930.

 

MATERIALS SOUGHT ON HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS, 19A5-195O

1985 will mark the 40th anniversary of the liberation of Europe from the Nazi
nightmare. To commemorate this occasion, Beth Hatefutsoth is planning a comprehen—
sive exhibition on the Holocaust survivors, recalling the story of the hundreds of
thousands of Jewish refugees who survived the war —— in camps, in resistance move—
ments or in hiding.

In preparation for this exhibition, Beth Hatefutsoth has announced a world-wide
campaign to collect photographs and films that have any bearing on the subject of
Holocaust survivors.

Beth Hatefutsoth would like all those —— especially Holocaust survivors, their
families and descendants —— who have any films or photographs on this subject to
send them to the Beth Hatefutsoth archives, thereby making them available to the
general public.

The material will be used for the historical research of the period, as well
as for the preparation of exhibitions that will make known the history of that era ——
in particular to the younger generation.

Photographs and films are being sought relating to the period from the liberation
from the Nazis (1944—45) to the final rehabilitation of the Holocaust survivors ——
whether in Israel, Europe, or elsewhere (1948—50).

To simplify the identification of the visual material, please stick a label on
the back of each photograph with the name of the sender; his exact address (including
telephone number); year the photograph was taken (exact date, if possible); place
where the photograph was taken; and description (20 words) of the subject matter.

All the photographs will be kept in the Beth Hatefutsoth archives. Beth Hatefutsoth
reserves the right to use the material for exhibitions, research, educational activi—
ties, publicity, or any other purpose it sees fit.

Submit photographs to: American Friends of Beth Hatefutsoth, 515 Park Avenue,
New York, NY 10022.

CKJA FORUM, MID—TERM REPORT

Professor David Sidorsky, Professor of Philosophy and Jewish activist,'provided
the initial program in the 1985 CKJA Forum Series.

Dr. Sidorsky put his presentation in the perspective of short—term, mid—term,
and long—term concerns. In the short—term he presented the question of whether the
Jewish community would consider changing its traditional alignment from the liberal
to a more conservative stance. He pointed out, for example, that a great many members
of the Jewish community are opposed to a higher defense budget but must also deal with
a real concern for Israel's need to maintain a strong defense posture in the Middle
East.

As a mid—term concern he discussed the relationship of the American Jewish community
to Israel. Israel represents a ”sacred space” for the Jews, and thus the center of
Jewish historic reality. For now, while it is under attack the American Jewish com—
munity, in particular, is called upon to aid in its defense. But it is entirely pos—
sible that the future will see Israel occupying a more secure position, and this would
lead to a more equal give—and—take relationship between two major Jewish communities.

Finally, Dr. Sidorsky raised the question of what exactly the future character of
the American Jewish community would be. He suggested that much of what we do today and
in the near future would mold this character. The questions were asked, the answers
were left to the listeners to provide.

Along with this thought provoking presentation, Dr. Sidorsky also expressed his
great concern for Soviet Jewry. Calling this the ”overriding crisis” of today, he
described U.S. government efforts to further the cause of Soviet Jews while pursuing
its own interests. He also urged us to maintain a high level of awareness on the
issue and support our government's efforts in every possible way.

Many thanks are due to the hard working committees who helped to make this possible.
The setting was delightful; the reception following added a touch of Lexington hospita—
lity and gave all present an opportunity to talk with Dr. Sidorsky on an informal basis.

NEXT. ..... Be sure to save the evening of MONDAY, APRIL 29 for the Chava ..,. ..NEXT
Alberstein concert. Sponsored jointly by the Porum and the Israel Independence
Day Committee, "The leading lady of Israeli song” will entertain us with the
full range of her musical talents.

Shari Eldot Fund Update

The sweetest Jewish holidays are those on which joy is shared. On
Purim, it is customary to give gifts of food and fruit to friends and to
those in need, called Miéhfloah Manof.

In honor of this Purim recently passed, the CKJA Social Services
Committee suggests a contribution to the Shari Eldot Fund.

The fund now totals over $7800. A recent contribution of $500 from
Ohavay Zion Synagogue Sisterhood was a big boost, and individual contribu—
tions continue to arrive. But we are all aware that much, much more is
needed.

In the meantime Shari and her family have returned to their home in
Richmond, Kentucky while she continues to wait for a donor match. We wish
her well, and we hope that a new heart will be found soon.

THE BIG 9W MOVE

Sunday, January 27 dawned cold and
snowy. Snow enough to cause minor
concern, but not enough to deter the
hard working volunteers who gathered
to help Judy Saxe and Beth Altenkirch
make the big move to 333 Waller Ave.,
Suite 5.

Boxes were packed with dispatch,
and furniture was eased out the door
and into the truck generously provided

by David Rose of Factory Services, Inc.

and driven by Bill Milman. Unloading
and moving into the new space was
also accomplished quickly, as we

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

spread out into twice the space we'd
had before.

There is room now to hold board and
committee meetings, to store supplies
so they will be visible and accessible,
and, we hope, allow volunteers to help
us with our many mailings.

Our thanks to: Robert and Steve
Baumann, Ted Friedman, Jeremy Joseph,
Bill Milman, Neal and Stanley Saxe,
Lewis Anderson and Allen Kelley who
all pitched in to make this move
possible.
