Super Sunday: Heed the call

CKJFIUJC Campaign Phonathon set for March 1

#00

This year, Super Sunday is more important than ever. It is our opportunity as
a community to reach out to each other and to support a common cause that
benefits all of us. When our volunteers call you, please remember that they
are not only calling to encourage your donation to the CKJF/UJC annual cam—
paign. They also want to touch base and see both how you are doing and how
we as a community could be functioning better. Carole Wilson will chair this
event in March.

We are already seeing increased need within the Central Kentucky Jewish
community for referral and emergency loan requests. This is unfortunately
looking like a difficult year for everyone economically, with portents of a very
slow recovery. Our donation levels in 2008 have already suffered a significant
drop and the picture does not look prettier for 2009. By the time you receive
il..‘~ :~~ Lu- of Sim/om, the ' 'l\ U Reid \\ :ll lam-q adopted a leaner budget to

reflect the reality of the situation. However, there are essential programs and

W Jewish «unanimity and the community at large. These

include Camp Shalom and Camp
Gesher, Jewish Family Services,

Day of Giving, Yom Ha’Atzmaut
celebrations, Yom Hashoah obser-
vances, Winter Dinner, and the
activities of the Community Relations
Committee.

Camp Shalom and Camp Gesher are
both superb summer programs that
afford the youth of our community
an opportunity to spend two weeks
within a safe Jewish atmosphere,
playing, learning, and absorbing
Judaism under the excellent guidance
of experienced and knowledgeable
staff. Younger children are guided
through an enjoyable experience that
enhances their friendships, builds
their confidence and teamwork, and
nourishes their minds. The older chil-

dren are taught, by experience and
modeling, to assume leadership roles
within the camp community; these
are skills which are then applied to
their roles in Jewish youth groups
and to the community as a whole.

Every year we join with the rest of
the Jewish world to commemorate
and celebrate two pivotal events

in recent Jewish history. One, Yom
Hashoah, is catastrophic: the com-
memoration of the Holocaust and the
devastation it brought to the Jewish
world. The other is Yom Ha’Atzmaut,
the celebration of the establishment
of the State of Israel. Both of these are
community—wide events under the
auspices of CK] F.

Over the past few months we have listened intently to
news reports on the radio and television, read cautiously
through the newspaper, and wondered if we would be
able to buy that new car or send our children to college
after all. We are hoping that we do not have to relive the
hardships our parents and grandparents went through
during the Great Depression, and praying that our fami-
lies, friends, and the charities that we support do not suf-
fer too much.

Society has been changing, too. We have known for many '
years that a widening chasm exists in our philanthropi-
cally active Jewish community; the older generations and
baby boomers who have faithfully guided the way for-
ward for Jewish non-profit organizations are struggling
to reach the next generation of leadership. Where are
they? Why do they not choose to become more involved,
to fundraise the way it’s always been done, and to partici-
pate in programming as we always have? Why have we
not succeeded in cultivating that new energetic force that

Letter to the Editor

In the December/January "Third Opinion" column. Ned
Rosenbaum cites the American cultural divide as com-
prising two classes. the educated and the uneducated.
He posits that “literacy is a pre—requisite for clear think»
ing." While I agree with his premise, I don't agree with
where he goes with it.

First of all, literacy and education are two different
things. While illiteracy is rare, almost everyone in this
country has at least a high school education. What
Professor Rosenbaum means by education is not the
learning of quadratic equations and the Peloponnesian
Wars, but rather an enlightened path to the fully
developed liberal mind, On the other hand, the lack of
education leaves the mind to stagnate in the cultural
backwaters of the red states, the land of the obese and
the Southern Baptist Church (although my wife, who is a
Southern Baptist, is not quite as wide of body and nar-
row of mind as the good professor would have it).

To be sure, the red state mentality is In direct opposi—
tion to the professor‘s own ideology, and in calling the
red staters uneducated, he is able to lessen them in

our esteem and to claim for himself the moral high
ground. His prescription for closing the cultural divide?
Education. His teachers would be the likes of Bill Maher,
Jon Stewart, and Stephen Colbert.

No, the true cultural divide is not one of education, but
of belief. The belief is in God, which is to say a tran-
scendent power, a hidden reality. Believers are pegged
by non-believers as rubes who believe what they are
told—blind faith. But in fact, mature belief arises from
experience, experience not of the physical senses, but
sensate nonetheless.

Believers see morality as a projection of the divine into
the world. manifest as justice and compassion. For the
non-believer. justice is not of Providence, but of society.
Hence the term "socral justice." For the believer. divine
justice is always just. but not always social, and social
justice is always social, but not always just.

Believers are not always religionists, and religionists are
not always believers. Believers respect the faithful of
other religions in their love of God and man. Religionists
tend to believe in the exclusivity and supremacy of their
particular religion. The lslamists are a good example of
this. I would venture they put their ideological agenda
above God. They murder the innocent in the name of
God, but they are not themselves godly. In fact, they are
anti-believers. They see the worship of a power greater
than their own as a threat to their dominance. Hitler
and Stalin took a similar view, and they have many fel-
low travelers in the twenty-first century. It is interesting
how the radical left is sympathetic to the fascism of the
lslamists. It is not left or right that concerns them, It is a
common cause called anti-Americanism.

Modern Jews also are in the process of subordinating
God to ideology. I am amazed at how many fellow Jews,
even the pious among us, do not believe in God. Many
of them come back with the apology, “Ours is to do, not
necessarily to believe." The danger there is the worship
of the doing itself, and not of for Whom you are doing.

One cannot teach or coerce belief. It comes from the
experience of those who are ore-disposed to believing.
But it Is important to recognize that above all it is the
source of our cultural divide, and, as the gap widens, it
becomes ever more apparent.

Spotlight: Harriett Rose

By Lynn Furness

 

 

Harriett and I met for this interview
in her beautiful art-filled apart-
ment in Hanover Towers on a day
as sunny as her demeanor. While
she claims everyone knows all
about her, perhaps she shared some
information in our conversation
that will be new to Shalom readers.

Born in Shelbyville, Kentucky,
Harriett moved to Lexington

when she was 4. She graduated
from Henry Clay High School (the
original one, that is now the Fayette
County Schools Administration
Building) in 1937. She then earned

a Bachelor’s degree in music from
the University of Kentucky. Harriett
taught music from 1941 to 1943,
when she went to Wright Field in
Dayton, Ohio and helped write army
regulations from 1943 to 1945.

Harriett met Stanley Rose in Dayton;
after they married, they moved to his
hometown, Cleveland. Soon, though,
they returned to Lexington and Stan
went into business with Harriett’s

WWW whpran

Lexington Dairy. For a while they
lived with him and Harriett’s moth—
er, Hilda (née Rosenthal). However,
her father later made a down pay—
ment on a house so Harriett and
Stan could live on their own.

After a few years in the dairy busi-
ness, Stan needed to find other
employment. Luckily for the Roses,
Stan and Harriett were members of
”The Piker Poker Club." Other mem-
bers of the club included Phyllis and
Stan Scher, Alice and Bob Mickler,
Madeline and Al Straus, and Harold
and Anita Baker. A requirement to
be in the Club was that one person in
the couple had to be from Lexington.
Moreover, there were many inter-
connections among these couples, a
situation Harriett summarized as ”If
you’re a born and bred Lexingtonian,
you inherit your friends.”

Harold was in auto parts at that
time, and he offered Stan the
opportunity to work with him.
When IBM brought part of its
operations to Lexington, Stan and
Harold approached IBM about
what services it might require
locally. IBM said it needed factory
services, including trash removal.

A community champion with a sense of history

+§+

Consequently, Stan went into the
trash business and was a found-

ing member of the Detachable
Container Association founded in
1961. This industry group started
when Dempsey Dumpsters were first
introduced by Ralph Dempsey; it
later became the National Solid Waste
Management Association. Stan went
on to become the national president
of the association. Harriett traveled to
many conventions with Stan and they
made many friends in the group.

In the meantime, Harriett had
returned to UK and earned a Master’s
degree in counseling and guidance.
Upon completing the Master’s pro-
gram, Harriett received a PhD in
counseling psychology. Harriett said
Stan liked to say he was the only
garbage man in America married to

a PhD. And she thinks he was right!

Harriett served as director of the
Counseling and Testing Center at UK
from 1964 to 1985. She was also an

, adjunct professor at UK from 1982

till 1985. In 1985'Harriett openéd é‘ '
private practice in which she saw
patients until 1990. Throughout

this period of her life, Harriett pub-
lished 36 articles in refereed jour-
nals in the field of psychology.

Harriett remarked that while she
fixed the individual, Stan fixed

the world—referring to Stan’s
efforts in, among other social
service groups, B’nai B’rith (the
Lexington Lodge is named for

him) and the National Council of
Christians and Jews, from which he
received the Brotherhood Award.

After Stan’s death, Harriett mar-
ried Charles (”Chuck”) Elton, who
was a psychologist and a profes-
sor of higher education. They had
been married only eight years
when Chuck, too, passed away.

Throughout her life, Harriett has
been an active member of Temple
Adath Israel. She was the director

of the religious school while her

two boys were growing up and is

a past and present board member.
Harriett not only enjoys attending
Torah study and Kollel at the Temple,
but also delights in being its old—

est member. Her granddaughter,

 

 

  
    
  
 
    
   
   
 
    
   
    
  
 
   
    
 
 
 
 
  
  
  
  
 
  
  
 
 
  
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
    
   

Alicia Rose, daughter of Harriett’s
son David, is the first fifth—gen-
eration member of the Temple.

Harriett, still able to drive, stays
busy with many activities. One activ-
ity is her monthly column for the
Chevy Chaser. She also plays dupli-
cate bridge and likes to attend UK
basketball games. Over the years,
Harriett participated in National
Council of Jewish Women. She
noted that efforts initiated by the
council later became the audiol-
ogy clinic at UK. Harriett has also
been active in Friends of Music at
UK and served as president of the
retired faculty association at UK.

Harriett Rose

 

Hall of Fame—she was in the third
group of four to be so honored.

Harriett’s diverse and interest-
ing life is an inspiring example of
leadership in both the Jewish and
secular communities. Lexington
and Temple Adath Isarel are lucky
to have a champion with a sense
of history and place who enriches
the lives of all around her. Xi!

Reflecting back, Harriett said she is
glad she has been able to help others
with life’s struggles, and she contin-
ues to counsel people who seek out
her expertise. She is also very proud
to be in the Henry Clay High School

President's Message

Linda Ravvin

 

We are facing a difficult time as we
start the new year. Economically
the United States, and indeed, the
world have not experienced such
difficult circumstances for many
years. We have watched our sav-
ings dwindle, housing values and
interest rates drop, unemployment
soar, and expenses increase.

It is in times like these that we

turn more than ever to our family,
our friends, and our community.
We form a support network, with
concern and caring for each other’s
welfare constantly in our thoughts
and actions. It is now, during harder
times, that we must be aware of our
strengths and be grateful that we
are still in a position to help our-
selves and build for the future.

The CKJF staff has worked arduously
over the last few months—going
way over and above what would

be considered normal work levels.
Despite the absence of an execu-

tive director, we have continued all
Federation activities. We successfully

completed our CKJF/UJC campaign
(although the contribution levels are
definitely down). The Winter Dinner
was enormously popular and the
Day of Giving accomplished every-
thing it set out to do; it offered our
non-Jewish friends an opportunity
to celebrate the holidays with their
families and provided wonder-

ful programs for those in need.

When you email, call, or see

our staff—Tamara Ohayon, Jana
LaZur, and Paula Clancy—please
let them know how much they are
appreciated for their hard work,
professionalism, and dedication.

We have instituted a thorough review
of office procedures, particularly

our accounting processes. We have
had multiple meetings with our
accountants and our online con-
sultants to make all our reporting
and tracking systems as up to date

as possible and make sure that our
systems are simplified, are more
detailed, and present full visibility.

 

  
     
   

Special occasion?
How about celebrating with a cake
everyone will remember.

Whether a bar
or bat mitzvah.

The Budget Committee has been
diligent in reviewing the budget
requests from each committee and,
with the knowledge of decreased
donations, has determined a reduced
and fiscally responsible budget for
2009; by the time you read this mes-
sage, the Board will have voted on
it. Everyone involved in the pro-
cess, including the staff, has made
conscientious decisions regard—

ing the cuts that are necessary.

 

With your help, understanding, and
involvement we will get through this
trying period. If we all work together,
CKJF will emerge as a stronger, more
efficient organization and we will be
a closer, more caring community. a

Winston Churchill said, ”Difficulties
mastered are opportunities won."

 

Be a volunteer to save
lives in Israel now

Local couple shares life-changing experience
9 e 4

By Betty Nigoff

Israel desperately needs volunteer support in its efforts to stop rocket fire
from Gaza. Lowell and I recently returned from a tour of duty with Sar-EI.
Sar-El is a program offering volunteers the opportunity to work on military
bases performing non-combat civilian support duties. We packaged medical
supplies for medics and mobile hospitals. This base depends on 40 volunteers
each week to supply the army with medical supplies, and we were a group of
onlv 25.

Contributing to Israel, to the land of our people, was one of the best experi-
ences we’ve ever had. Putting on the IDF uniform each day really gave us a
feeling of belonging to Tzahal—the IDF—and to Israel.

Volunteering with Sar-El is a life-changing experience. You get much more out
of the experience than you give. We volunteered in 2006 and in 2008, and plan
to return this year.

Israel needs your help now. To volunteer, contact Volunteers for Israel at vfi-
usa.org or Sar-El.org, or Betty Nigoff: bnigoff@yahoo.com, (859) 533-4014. Get
involved now! X?!

From the Editor: Keep Shalom so1vent

If you have been reading this news-
paper with any regularity you will
note that this is an unusual occur-
rence. I am not given to writing col-
umns from the editor, but these are
particularly trying economic times
and, along with an overwhelming
number of other organizations and
businesses, we are feeling the pinch.

It costs the Central Kentucky Jewish
Federation $20,000 annually to
publish Shalom. Lest you think this
money is going for inflated editorial
staff salaries, you should be aware
that, with the exception of the edi-
tor/ administrator (who is paid far,
far less than she is worth), the edito—
rial work on this newspaper is done
entirely by volunteers. We have tried
to defray some of the cost by making
a bigger push for advertising and,

while we have been moderately successful in this endeav-
or, we fall far short of breaking even.

Please rest assured that we will continue to publish
Shalom and it will continue to be free to anyone who
requests it. We are, however, asking for a voluntary con-
tribution from you. We are suggesting Chai, $18 per year,
but any amount will be appreciated. Certainly we would
appreciate multiples of Chai.

Whether or not you choose to respond to this solicitation,
Shalom will continue to publish news of local, national,
and international Jewish interest and will continue to
support and report on community activities, celebrations,
and noteworthy events. We will remain the voice of this
Jewish community and your conduit to all that is happen-
ing here.

Making a contribution to Shalom is purely an act of tze-
dakah and we hope you can find it in your heart to do so.
And if you own a business that is not presently represent-
ed here, we would love to advertise it for you.

Visiting Mr. Green is keystone
of TAI Sisterhood fundraiser

Be prepared to enjoy some first—rate
theater on Saturday, March 31, as the
TAI Sisterhood brings you Visiting
Mr. Green. Written by Jeff Baron and
originally performed on the New
York stage, the play was produced
here in Lexington by Studio Players
in 2001. It was critically acclaimed in
New York and the local production
was equally well received. In fact,
the Herald Leader said it was ”the best
play so far in Lexington’s 2000-2001
arts season.”

We are fortunate to have Marcia
Blacker, who directed for Studio
Players, doing the honors for us. In
addition, local actor Ed Desiato, who
created the role of Mr. Green for
Studio Players, will perform it again.

The play tells the tale of Mr. Green, an 86-year—old,
recently widowed Jewish man, and his interaction with
the much younger Ross who, convicted of reckless driving
because he almost hit Mr. Green, is sentenced to visit him
every week for six months. The evolving relationship, the
bond they forge, and the hurdles they must conquer to get
there, are at the center of the play.

The performance will be at TAI on Saturday, March 21,

at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $25 for general admission, $50

for preferred seating, and $75 for preferred seating and a
champagne reception with the cast and director following
the performance. Refreshments, including desserts, coffee,
and wine, will be served at intermission. Watch for your
invitation in the mail or contact Rebecca Young (rsy2@hot-
mail.com) for information or reservations. The proceeds
from this performance will benefit the Temple Adath
Israel religious school and other Sisterhood projects. fi

Strong alliance

Over six decades, the U.S.-lsrael Relationship has grown from a
partnership based on shared values into a deep strategic alliance
aimed at confronting global threats

+§+

from AIPAC’s NEW East Report — May 1-15, 2008

Seated behind a sign on his desk that read, ”The buck
stops here,” President Harry Truman was faced with a
historic choice—one that only a president could make.
Should he recognize the newly created State of Israel?

The day was May 14, 1948, and the American people were
waiting for his decision. Truman's top advisors had all
warned him that recognizing the Jewish state would lead
to a global catastrophe.

But 11 minutes after Israel declared its independence,
Harry Truman made the United States the first nation on
earth to recognize Israel. In the years following that his-
toric decision, the U.S.-Israel alliance would become the
cornerstone of American policy in the Middle East, and
Israel would emerge as one of America’s greatest strategic
assets.

The United States Maintains Israel's Qualitative
Military Edge

Three years after President Truman recognized Israel,
Congress approved the first aid package to Israel—$65
million to help the Jewish state absorb Holocaust survi-
vors and Jewish refugees from Arab countries.

However, the United States did not
sell Israel any arms until 1961, when
President John F. Kennedy lifted
the embargo and sold Israel crucial
Hawk missiles—the only effective
defense against Soviet-made bomb-
ers. Kennedy's decision established
an important precedent: The United
States would act to maintain Israel’s
qualitative military edge over its
potential adversaries.

Following the 1967 Six-Day War,
when Israel routed its enemies and
captured advanced Soviet weaponry,
the strategic relationship deepened.
The United States became the chief
supplier of weaponry to Israel and
began providing significant amounts
of foreign aid.

President Lyndon Johnson fol—

lowed Kennedy’s example by sell—

ing Phantom fighter jets to Israel in
1968. Similarly, during the 1973 Yom
Kippur War, President Richard Nixon
provided Israel with a massive airlift,
helping the Jewish state overcome
initial setbacks on the battlefield.

As a result of strong U.S. influ—
ence in the region after the Yom
Kippur War, Egypt—long Israel’s
strongest enemy—left the Soviet
sphere of influence, aligned itself
with the United States and signed
a peace treaty with Israel in 1979.
Israel withdrew from the entire Sinai
Peninsula—an area three times its
size—after recei
