MULTI—CULTURAL DIVERSITY DAY

Multi—cultural Diversity Day at UK was a
great success thanks to all who assisted. The
highlight of the CKJF booth was the film
”Operation Moses” about the escape of the
Ethiopian Jews. Everyone at the multi—
cultural day stopped to watch it. Many
interested people stopped by to learn about
Jewish culture. Anyone interested in
assisting in the booth or the planning stages
for next year are welcome to participate. It’s
a lot of fun to be a part of this special day at
the University of Kentucky (and the food is
great!).

PASSOVER HOSPITALITY

For the past twenty years we have
had a "Matzah of Hope" as part of
our Seder to remind us of Soviet
Jews who could not celebrate
freely. Our hopes have been
realized! We have in our
community new American families
who are looking forward to
celebrating Passover in freedom.
CKJF is looking for families
wishing to invite these new
Americans to join them in their
Passover Observances. Please call
252-7622 or 252-7600 to offer your
hospitality.

There are also Jewish
University students in the area who
would appreciate home hospitality
for the holidays. If this is a
possibility please contact CKJF.
