CKJF budget is
balanced—for now

Increased community support

essenﬁal
+¢+

By Robert B. Grossman

The Board of CKJF recently passed its 2009 budget. Here
are some details about the source of most of CKJF’s
income.

Income

We plan each year’s budget based on the previous
year’s income. The lion’s share of CKJF’s income comes
from Campaign. In 2008, we raised about $311,000 in
Campaign contributions. This amount represents a very
steep decline from our 2007 Campaign income, which
was $380,000.

CKJF has a few other, smaller sources of funding. In
2008, Camp Shalom raised approximately $17,300 in fees,

an amount that only partly defrayed its cost of about

An infrequent holiday

Birkat HaHammah: Bless the Sun

And God said: Let there be lights in the vastness of sky to
separate day from night... And they shall serve as lights in
the vastness of space, to shine upon the earth. And it was
so. (Genesis 1:14 ~15) Every 28 years, the Jewish community
celebrates the return of the sun to its original place in the

heavens at the precise time and day of its creation. This
celebration is called Birkat Hahammah—blessing of the
sun. The next date on which we mark this moment is April 8, 2009.

Reﬂection: One feminist’s experience in Israel

By Judith Worell

What is it like to give a lecture on
one of your favorite topics to 200
eager listeners at an overseas uni-
versity? A few months ago I was
privileged to find this out for myself.
During the past summer, I received
an email from someone I did not
know at Ben Gurion University

of the Negev, in the southern part
of Israel. She asked if I would be
willing to give the keynote lecture
on Feminist Therapy at the Third
National Conference on Promoting
Mental Health Among Women.

What an exciting prospect indeed.
Of course there was no hesitation on
my part and I arranged for a two-
day visit to the university toward the
end of September. Since I had never
been to Israel, I took the opportunity
to go a week earlier and arrange a
tour. A woman named Yocci was
recommended, a “Certified Tour
Guide, Specializing in desert tours.”
Yocci and I traveled mainly in Old
Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Yocci was
well versed in the ancient history of
this land and navigated us through
5000-plus years of the peoples and

, cultures that had lived here. Each

culture built its own towns and
temples, leaving traces that were
excavated, one on top of the other
over time. Coming from the US, a
nation that is only 200 years young,
it was overwhelming to experience
how ancient is the history of the land
of Israel.

As a feminist visitor, there were
some things I was not prepared to
experience.

In Jerusalem

Almost all the women I saw in

the streets were clothed in ultra—
Orthodox dress, mostly black, and
covered from neck to feet, with
only hands and face showing. Some
women wore head scarves, other
women’s heads were uncovered

but they wore obvious wigs under
which, I was told, their heads were
totally shaven clean. I was surprised;
I had thought it was a secular city.

Arab or Muslim women also
appeared in the streets but only in
groups, wearing black burkas that
covered them completely, only the
eyes showing behind a mesh veil.
Reminded me of the times of the

Taliban occupation.

Security ofﬁcers, mainly males,

were stationed at entrances to stores,
malls, restaurants, many with loaded
machine guns held in readiness
across their chest. Any restaurant
with such security protection added
a fee to the meal, usually $2 or $3,

On the road south toward

the Negev

We traveled on roads that were
Palestinian- or Jordanian-controlled
on one side and Israeli on the other
side. The proximity of the two fac-
tions was amazing.

.There were no visible Israeli women in military uni-
form. I understood that all those of age had to serve
in the military for at least two years. Apparently the
women tend to be assigned to desk jobs and are not
given combat duty. Is this sexism or protectionism?

On the road
from Jerusalem
south to the
Negev, the
ruins of cars
are left on the
roadside as a

to cover the cost of hiring security.
People here live like this under con-
stant threat of external Violence or
even suicide bombers.

I am told that some Arabic women
have become suicide bombers, blow-
ing up themselves and others in
crowded places like markets. I won-
der who puts them up to it? A recent
story tells that some of them are
systematically raped, then told they
can erase their shame and dishonor
to their families by volunteering as a
suicide bomber. A sad story if true.

But there .are fewer suicide bombers A.

now, since the high wall was built
by Israelis separating Israel from the
West Bank. More evidence of the
drastic means the Israelis must take
for self-protection.

There were no visible Israeli women
in military uniform. I understood
that all those of age had to serve in
the military for at least two years.
Apparently the women tend to be
assigned to desk jobs and are not
given combat duty. Is this sexism or
protectionism?

The unexpected panoramic beauty

of Hadassah College Jerusalem

was overwhelming. It was totally
funded by the Hadassah women of
the United States of America, most

of whom will never see it. As a
Hadassah member, I felt such pride
in the strength and commitment of
women giving to others in the service
of a dream.

In Tel Aviv

It was like a different country. In the
more modern city, young women
were dressed in skimpy colorful out-
fits, lots of skin showing, and there
were no black-clothed Orthodox
women to be seen.

“ reminder of the
1948 siege of

Jerusalem by Jordan. The cars were

bringing food to the Israelis but were

attacked on both sides of the road

by the Jordanians. I could see bullet

holes throughout the hulks.

Road signs everywhere are in three
languages—Hebrew, Arabic, and
English, all on the same sign.

View of the Dead Sea along the way.
Up on the rocky hills above, numer-
ous caves are Visible, in which the
famous Dead Sea Scrolls were found.

Apparently scholars are still trying to
decipher them.

At Ben Gurion University

of the Negev

The first day of my visit was devoted
to my lecture, followed by discus-
sion and responding to questions and
comments. The second day consisted
of conversations with anyone who
wished to raise a relevant topic with
me either in a group or individually.
Both days were easily filled with
interesting dialogue and exchange

of ideas. Conference attendees
responded with an intense interest in
how feminist principles, which I cov-
ered in my lecture, can be effectively
applied in specific clinical or applied
situations and with particular types
of clients.

For my own information in turn, I
asked about the status of feminist
practice in Israel and was surprised
to learn about the widespread accep-
tance and extent of feminist'clinical
and training sites throughout the
country. Although I heard a number
of explanations for the popularity

President's Message

Linda Rawin

It is that time of year again: we've
adjusted our clocks, we expect 70
degrees with rain instead of snow
and ice, and my dog is spend-

ing more and more time outside
chasing invaders (squirrels and
chipmunks) from our property.
Spring is the season of renewal,
hope, and eternal optimism.

We will be celebrating the wonderful
holiday of Passover soon, a holiday
that signifies so many things to the
Jewish people. It represents freedom
from slavery, G—d’s covenant with the
Almighty’s children, the promise of
the Holy Land, and continuity from
generation to generation. We retell
the story—our story—every year,
and we are instructed specifically

to include children and strangers at
our tables. It is vitally important to
be inclusive and instructional, at the
same time that we enjoy both the
celebration and the special foods pre-
pared for the occasion. The holiday,
as emphasized during the seder, is
different from any other. It encom-
passes a period of history in which
our ancestors were tested over and
over, overcoming obstacles as they
sought freedom and a homeland.

Almost immediately following the
end of Passover we will observe,

as a community, Yom Hashoah,
Holocaust Memorial Day, on Sunday,
April 19. It seems very fitting to
me that the day to remember the
struggles of our people in modern
times comes so soon after we recall
those ancient struggles. We lost
almost an entire generation to the
evils of Hitler and his followers; in
ancient times, we wandered in the

desert until an entire generation had
passed. Were Hitler’s motives that
much different from Pharaoh’s? Both
were intent on the slavery and even-
tual eradication of Jews. Both events
called for immense faith in G-d,
despite the almost

the very same flagraising on Mount Herzl that marks
the end of Yom HaZikaron. As in so many of our obser-
vances and celebrations, there is a mix of sadness and
joy, of remembrance and jubilation. Our community's
main celebration of Israel’s birthday will take place

shortly after Yom Hashoah, on Sunday, May 3.

The holiday, as emphasized during the seder,
is different from any other. It encompasses a

of the modern
State. Our peo—
ple survived and prosper and we
honor the memories of those who
went before us, paving our way
and sacrificing on. our behalf.

Soon after we observe and remember
the Holocaust, we again have cause
to honor those who have sacrificed
on our behalf. Yom HaZikaron is

the Israeli Memorial Day. In the

State of Israel, all movement stops
throughout the country when the
sirens sound at sunset on the evening
before and again at 11:00 am. The
entire day is one to reflect on those
whose lives were sacrificed both as
fighters and defenders of the State or
were victims of terrorism. Both offi-
cial ceremonies and private remem-
brances take place everywhere,
beginning at the Western Wall where
the flag is lowered to half mast,

and ending on Mount Herzl, when
the flag is returned to full mast.

The day after Yom HaZikaron is Yom
Ha’Atzmaut, Israel’s Independence
Day. The start of Yom Ha’Atzmaut is

In a period of less than one
month, we have gone from
remembrance to joy, to remem-
brance, to remembrance, and
once again to joy. We, as a people,
seem to embody the eternal opti-
mism that I associate with spring.
We struggled throughout many
times in our long history; we suf-
fered abuse, misunderstanding,

and persecution. However, we persevere and thrive, constantly renewing

our connection to Judaism and our contribution to the worldwide commu-
nity. We are renewed by our recognition of those who have come before us
and we strive to continue and strengthen from generation to generation. 33X

Reflection (from page 3)

of feminist perspectives, the most
cogent seemed related to the broadly
devalued place of women in that
society, not much different from

that of women in the US. (Anyone
wishing to challenge this last state-
ment can take a look at the average
gender discrepancy in salaries across
a range of occupations). However,
because this is a relatively small
country, perhaps the recognized sta-
tus of feminist practice was clearly
more apparent in proportion to their
population than would be evident in
a larger nation.

Back in the USA
Having returned home to Lexington,
I was eager to talk about my Israel

trip. But in a recent conversation
about my experience I used the term
”feminist therapy,” and a university
professor friend said to me ”What’s
that?” Perhaps the puzzled reac-

tion here in Kentucky to anything
associated with feminism reflects

a generally conservative southern
social norm. I think it more likely
that Americans in general have dif-
ficulty with what feminism seems

to represent and tend to regard it as
something subversive. When I was
teaching at the university, some stu-
dents would still misrepresent in talk
or writing the term ”feminist” even
after it was carefully defined and dis-
cussed in class. Apparently, stereo-
types die hard. ﬁ

The Officers and Board of Directors

Campaign (from page 1)

$26,500. Shalom newspaper brought
in $10,900 last year from advertising
income, which only partly defrayed
its annual cost of about $22,100. (CKJF
now has an advertising salesperson,
working on commission, who has
already increased our advertising
income substantially.) We also have
several small endowment funds that
can support limited initiatives such
as the Israel writing contest and the
Holocaust Memorial Essay contest.
Nevertheless, as you can see from
the numbers, Campaign is by far the
most important source of our income.

Expenses

CKJF’s largest expenses are the
salaries of our four staff members
(including the currently vacant posi-
tion of executive director) and office
expenses. In 2008, these expenses
totaled just shy of $200,000. To bal-
ance our 2008 budget, we made

the difficult decision to reduce the
time of our Jewish Family Services
social worker by 50 percent, and we
reduced the time of another staff
member to 60 percent. When the
executive director position became
vacant at the beginning of October,
we were able to restore the latter staff
member to 100 percent, and, since
our search for a new executive direc—
tor is taking longer than we expected,
we have even been able to give token
raises to the staff in 2009. Assuming
we fill the executive director position
starting June 1 at a salary somewhat
lower than national norms, we will

have a balanced budget in 2009—maybe even a small sur-
plus.

Aside from the expenses associated with publishing
Shalom newspaper and running Camp Shalom, our larg-
est outlays are associated with our membership in the
larger Jewish community. In 2008, we sent $10,000 to

Ben Yakir (about 50 percent of the amount raised by the
Equine Division) and $50,000 to Net@, a program run by
Hadassah Neurim to provide computer education to dis-
advantaged children. We also sent $15,300 to the national
UJC organization. Our commitment to send $50,000 annu-
ally to Net@ expires this spring, so in 2009 we are free

to reduce the level of our contribution to Israeli charities
to reflect our poorer financial standing. The Board has
approved an expenditure of $25,000 in 2009, although we
have not yet decided how this money will be directed. We
are currently negotiating with UJC to reduce our annual
contribution to them, as well. We will continue to send
donations to Ben Yakir that reﬂect 50 percent of the con-
tributions of the‘ Equine Division.

In 2009, our only other budget category that exceeds
$10,000 is for Jewish Family Services. Unfortunately, the
aging Jewish population and the difficult economic times
mean that the demands on JFS have increased substan-
tially. As a result, the CKJF Board increased JFS’s budget
from about $8000 in 2008 to $13,000 in 2009.

To help reduce expenses in our other areas, the
Community Activities Board and the Campaign
Committee have decided that CKJF will charge enough to
cover the costs of all community events such as the Yom
Ha’Atzmaut celebration and donor dinners. We simply
cannot afford to subsidize them any longer. The fact that
the 2008 Winter Dinner was so successful, despite the fees
being large enough to cover the cost, bodes well for the
community’s support of this approach.

Outlook

Again, our 2008 and 2009 budgets are balanced because
the executive director position has been vacant since
October 2008 and will remain so until sometime late this
spring. However, our new executive director, the CKJF
Board, and the Lexington Jewish community will face
stark challenges in late 2009. We have already cut our
overseas contributions substantially. If Campaign income
does not recover in 2009, we may have no choice but to
cut staff again, and we cannot offer programs without
staff. If you value this newspaper, Jewish Family Services,
Camp Shalom, celebrations such as the Winter Dinner and
Yom Ha’Atzmaut, and our community’s support of social
development in Israel and other Jewish communities
around the world, please give generously this year. $
