June/July 1995

 

College brought new
knowledge. Many students at Ohio
State were New York/New Jersey
Jews. Of course the housing staff
had placed me in the dorm with the
girls from the small towns in Ohio
How were they to guess a Jew
could arrive with roots cultivated
in Kentucky? My roommates
perceived my Judaism the same as
my high school peers However,
with the large Jewish population
on campus. I was not alone

I befriended another
misplaced Jewish girl in our dorm.
Through this friendship, which I
am happy to report is still very
much intact, I discovered much
more about being a Jew, With my
friend and her family I observed my
first High Holy Days service, We

time, my first observance came in
1973, the year of the Seven Day

Being Jewish has always been an important part of my identity, War

From childhood, when anti-Semitism was my strongest exposure to
being a Jew, to now as the Acting Executive Director of the Central
Kentucky Jewish Federation, you might say I‘ve gone at least 180 degrees
toward knowrng my Jewrsh self

First let me tell you a little bit about myself Though not a
native of Lexington, I have lived here smce I was three. My parents
became well acquainted with many members of the local Jewish
community, To this day, many of the familiar faces at Jewish functions
trace back to those early days. I have two sisters and one brother. My
brother celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at the Synagogue when it was located

on Maxwell Street

My friend also let me
know what a goy I was. Today
she's amazed that I know the Sh’ma
and say the Hebrew blessing over
the candles on Friday night.
Whereas I still have a lot to learn,
at least the journey has begun. My
curiosity and desire to learn were
always there, but it peaked with the
birth of my daughter seven years
ago.

Neither my srsters nor l became involved in the Synagogue, nor

was Jewish tradition prevalent in our home. But the feeling of being

Jewish was always there.

I remember my best fi'iend in high school refusing to believe I
was Jewish because I didn‘t Show any obvious physical signs. To this day
I 'm not sure what those signs were suppose to be. I remember my father
being referred to as ’the Jew' in the Herald Leader newspaper. I
remember feeling different, but not quite understanding why.

The last several years I
have been active in the Jewish
community having served on the
Board and Executive Committee of
Temple Adath Israel. I even found
my way to a Camp Shalom
committee a few years back.

Through this involvement

CKJF. As the Acting Executive
Director, I see my responsibilities
as keeping the day to day
operations running smoothly
during this transition time and
being available to the needs of the
Jewishcommunity. Those needs
vary in Scope. It may be as simple
as imparting information about
Jewish holidays to a none Jewish
entity, to operating Camp Shalom,
to seeing to the needs of families in
trouble.

The Central Kentucky
Jewish Federation has an
impressive list of functions. All
this is accomplished through the
dedication of our volunteers. At
this time I would like to thank and
commend the CKJF Board,
committee chairs and members and
all the volunteers that provide the
time, heart and energy to keep the
mechanism going. Working
together works for all of us, and I
look forward to being part of the
CKJF community.

To Shalom Readers
from the Editor

Samye N. Miller

This is my last issue as the editor and advertising manager of
Shalom.

Numerous people have been instrumental in the success of
the publication Their support and guidance have contributed to
Shalom’s unique flare. First the staff and editorial board of the
Central Kentucky Jewish Federation who gave a great deal of time,
knowledge and assistance to the newspaper. Secondly, the many
advertisers ~new and veteran-—whose support broadened community
input and increased revenues contributed to the growth of the
newspaper. Finally, the gracious contributors to the paper——be it
scripting articles or brainstorming ideas--have made Shalom more
interesting and informative to our readers.

This note would not be complete without acknowledging
the opportunities I’ve had to meet many professionals-—individuals
who are interesting and compassionate members of our community-
at-large. Over the past two years the work has been rewarding and
to those with whom I collaborated, thank you. '

Volunteer,
It’s the Jewish Thing to Do

Evelyn Dantzic Geller, Resettlement Chair

I’m back again, brimming with reasons each of you should
respond to our need for volunteers with Resettlement. I’ll be generous
and not bombard you with any reasons other than: 1) it's the Jewish thing
to do. and 2) each of us is obliged to help honor the community’s
promise to assist in the resettlement of Jews from the Former Soviet
Union. This may sound “hokey”, but it is the plain truth. We‘ve asked
repeatedly for help and very little, if any, is forthcoming. All that is left
is for me to be blunt and say that without an infusion of “new blood", we
will be in dire trouble.

What kind of help do we need? Just about anything! Some of
the most pressing needs are:

'people with trucks or vans-and strong backs-who can help us
with the task of setting up apartments for New Americans;

'someone who has about [500 sqllarcfecl offrcc storage space
we can use;

'people who can drive Ihc newcomers to the many appointments
they have as they enter our social system and the job market;

‘individuals and families who will host New Americanfirmilics;
e.g. invite them to dinner, take them to services, help orient them to the
community, etc;

'people who will visit the newcomers for at least an hour or two
each week to help them practice speaking English;

'people who want to participate in the Accu/mralion program-
both Jewish and secular;

‘people who have jOhX which can be filled by workers with
limited English skills.

Working with the New Americans is a wonderful and exciting
experience, It is an opportunity to help people who have every potential
for becoming contributing members of our community-if only we teach

  

as role models".
To srgn up, please call the Central Kentucky Jewrsh federation

office, 268-0672 or 268—0775.

HIAS Alert to the

Emigré Community
(Regarding Overseas Calling Changes)

AT&T has announced several new country code changes for
overseas calls placed to Armenia, Belarus and Ukraine.

The changes are in already in effect. The new country codes are
374 for Armenia; 375 for Belarus and 380 for Ukraine. In addition to
eliminating the zero in front of all city codes for Ukraine, the new codes
replace the 7, Russia’s country code, which was required to call these
countries. For example, consumers calling Kiev will dial 380 (country
code), 44 (city code) instead of 7-044 before the phone number.

A Little Light Summer Reading
by .
Buddy Thompson

Buddy Thompson retdired from the real estate and auction business (Thompson and Riley, Inc.) a decade ago, and now spends
his time writing. His bookM Bell rezin is now in its second printing and Pgny Lady is now in local book stores.

Before spending some thirty years in the auction business he had operated a flying service at Blue Grass Field after flying 52
missions as a photographer-gunner in the Pacific in WWII.

He opened the first Pet Shop in Lexington in 1948 and has restored several historic homes.

Mr. Thompson is now writing a book of short stories based on experiences covering seventy—five years as a Kentuckian.

Here he shares with our readers two of the stories to be included in his new book.

Shalom would like to thank Mr. Thompson for this delightful contribution!

“MISINFORMATION ”

When I was in first grade--a little sponge
I had a parrot in my pet shop that was several years old when I got it and was about as silent as a Trappist eager to absorb knowledge-J found a dead bird in the
monk. Parrots, of course. only repeat what they hear; and if what they say seems apropos at the moment, it’s purely
accidental. This bird's vocabulary consisted of a lot of loud squawks and one word--"Hello"--which she'd say about
once a week, usually when there were no customers in the shop. Most of the time, she would squawk from five to
twenty-five times in a row and then, thank God, be silent for a time.
An older woman came in one day, saw the parrot, and wanted to buy her. I explained her limited
vocabularrg, but she wanted the bird regardless. So I said goodby to old dummy and jingled the cash register. it could be. There was no one around to ask, so I

What We Can Do:
Lexington Citizen Summit ‘95

The purpose of the Lexington Citizen Summit is to convene,
connect, and serve as a catalyst for people interested in working together
on community building topics. The first Summit event particularly
intended to encourage people to work on ways to address the historic
racial and other divisions that have brought serious harm to our
community. The theme for the 1995 Summit was "How can citizens,
government, the private sector and charitable organizations best work
together to make Lexington a community of full opportunity for all its
citizens?"

The outcomes include:

1. A series of new workgroups on issues such as
supporting parents, ending discrimination by lending
institutions, restoring and giving hope for the future to
our youth, creating a transportation cooperative to
make it possible for people to go to good grocery
stores, creating a museum program about respect for
differences, and creating a women's justice and
empowerment center;

2. The connections most participants made with other
people interested in similar issues; these connections

problem solving in Lexington

The Summit‘s origins lie in the interest of a small group of
people in seeing permanent and profound change in our community's civic
habits following the death of Antonio Sullivan in October, l994. The first
session took place at Second Presbyterian Church in December, 1994, A
group of five citizens then formed the Executive Committee for the
Summit, made all arrangements for the Summit, raised money for it, and,
with help from others, produced the first Lexington Citizen Summit. The
first Executive Committee included two women, three men, two African-
Americans, three whites, and five different perspectives on religion and
spirituality. Three new members will join the Executive Committee in
June, I995.

The Summit style is open, egalitarian, broadly inclusive and
participative. The Summit was conducted in an "open space format." This
is a structured system that groups can use to construct their own agenda,
form and run their own groups, and produce their own reports on the
topics that matter most to them. People experienced the Summit as having
a special quality of energy, respectfulness, frankness, and openness.

About 150 citizens participated in the first Summit. Participants

‘ were self selected. They included high school students, retirees, elected

officials, neighborhood leaders, school board members, religious
organization activists, parents, government employees and educators.
Because of the two day time commitment to participate in the Summit, 21
number of people took vacation time or missed work in order to
participate,

Total costs for the Summit were nearly $9,000. The space was
free, courtesy of Calvary Baptist Church. Primary costs were for food,
printing, mailing, and child care. Summit participants contributed $2,730
for food costs. The remainder of the money is being contributed by
individuals, religious organizations, and Urban County Government.
