jointly supported by a group of major philanthro»

is to provide large numbers ofcollege age people

the need for them to be committed to Judaism.

time in the Jewish calendar. The celebra-

tion of our liberation from Egypt behind us,
the commemoration of the victims of Nazi barbarism
upon us, and the celebration of the independence of the

assume that somehow all these events are connected.
And maybe they are...

On the second night of Passover in 1942, the Jews
of the Warsaw Ghetto were being deported to the
murder camps. Within a week of that event the Jews
remaining in the Ghetto took arms against the Nazi
oppressors in a desperate attempt to protect life. to
save whatever could be saved.

that Passover night. Many of the survivors found

For many, those doors were closed.

It was the Jewish community in British
Palestine that took up the task of ensuring a
home for the homeless and a shelter for the
refugees. It was these refugees and survivors
that gave Zionism its final edge. Their
strength, their determination, and their
courage. were decisive for the realization of
the Jewish Dream for a homeland in our
ancestral land.

The Yishuv (Jewish community in
Palestine) built up the land, but the

Will the Wall Come

Tumbling Down?
by Michael E. Adelstein

The Berlin Wall looked like it would last
forever, but it crumbled. The wall between
church and state seemed solid until recently.
Now cracks are appearing. Will it come
tumbling down?

The crumbling is evident in many areas.
Perhaps the most noticeable involves school
vouchers. which allow tax money to be used
for student attending parochial schools.
Although a Cleveland judge has struck down a
voucher program passed by the Ohio legisla—
ture. the issue will probably go to the Supreme
Court. (More about the Court later.)

The Senate has passed a bill that would
allow individuals to contribute $2000 annually
into a tax-free interest account for education,
including tuition at private religious schools.

Then there, is the matter of charity. A

nrovision in the government’s welfare reform

bill allow s religions oigain/ations to administer

social services to the poor. Although laudable
in one respect. it is an example of churches
obtaining tax money.

And as every Kentuckian knows. recent
legislation permits and encourages the Ten
Commandments to be posted in every class-
room as well as to be displayed at the state
capitol. While the Court has ruled against this
practice in the past. it might change its mind.
either because of the Courts present make—up
or because the legislation has been cai‘ei‘ulh
crafted to a\ old past ( ourt llUlllllc‘LlllOll

And then there is a University of Virginia case
involving a student religiousjoumal. Because
other student journals were subsidized by student
fees, the Supreme Court ruled that religious
groups could not be excluded from benefits
offered to other student groups.

Presently, parochial schools are given public
funds for textbooks. Under consideration now is
whether these schools can receive computers from
state and local agencies. The case was argued by
Mitch McConnell on the grounds that state aid to
religious schools is constitutionally permitted as
long as it is a policy that also benefits private
schools.

In addition, school prayer is an issue although
many students pray before exams. But the Su-
preme Court‘s review of a Texas case involving
school prayer at a high school football game will
bring this issue to the forefront soon.

Finally. the Court refused to hear a challenge to
a Maryland law that requires public schools to
close on Good Friday. Indiana has a similar law.

How the court will rule in the unresolved cases
depends mainly on thejustices~ political and
religious beliefs. Three of the four proponents for

breaching the wall are Catholics (Scalia, Kennedy,

and Thomas) This block is ioi‘nele‘R‘ehnquﬂt a -

Souter; and Stevens. who lists himself as "Protes-
tant." The swing person. O‘Connor. is an Episco—
palian. who usually votes with the conservative
bloc.

As the Court stands or sits. the justices are
inclined to favor some changes in the church—state
wall. But after the iorincoming election. three or
fourjustices may be replaced. Stevens \\ ili soon

CKJF LEISURE CLUB UPDATE

By Ruth M user

This has been a busy year for the Leisure Club. We
had to cancel the January luncheon. but we have more
than made up for it. In February we went to Szechuan
Gardens (where Dale and I eat every week). Then we had
our make-up luncheon in March at the Coach House.

In April. along with many New Americans. we
enjoyed the TA] Adult Choir under the direction of
Debbi Eisenstadt. I especially thank Norma Allweiss for
helping with food preparation and for the delicious
desseit. I thank CKJ F for the awards presented to
Annette and me for our years of working with the Leisure
Club. and I thank my friend Judy Baumann for being
there with me when I received the award.

On MaylS. the Leisure Club has another special treat.
Tomas Milch will discuss ﬁnancial issues. I know
everyone will have a lot of questions for him. and I know

he will have all the answers. So come to Guiseppis. eat a
good Italian lunch. and hear all about it.

This is my last column for the Leisure Club. After
nearly four years. I have resigned from my post as co—
chair. It has been a pleasure working with Annette and
the Leisure Club. I would not have known Annette were
it not for the Leisure Club. And that’s what it is all
about. what I have been saying over and over — come
to the Leisure Club where you will meet new friends. I
came and I met Annette. and I restored my friendship
with Ann Buckholtz. And now all the kvetching and
kvelling must go on without me. In closing. I must tell
you that my favorite Leisure Club event was doing the
Yiddish KVETCH & KVELL with Evelyn Krislov. may
she rest in peace.

‘The Plot Against Harry’ is a comedy about the life of Harry Plotnick. a low-level hoodlum

style. " Roger Ebert *** 1/21/2.

“As an observer of Jewish life. Roemer is as cutting as Philip Roth and as affectionate as
Isaac Singer....the irony about Harry is that the work of both Woody Allen and Paul Mazursky is
prefigured here-in a film neither ofthem could possibly have seen”. Hal Hinson
