Jewish Federation

(CKJF) began the process of establishing a set of

program priorities to be implemented over the next
few years. The people who were invited to take part in
this effort were the members of the CKJF Board and
committees, plus ofﬁcers and board members of Adath
Israel, Ohavay Zion, Hadassah and the Havurah.

l have been very gratiﬁed at the interest the two
meetings held so far have engendered, with attendance
at each meeting of about thirty to forty people. One of
the points that has become clear to me as the process
has continued, however, is the lack of knowledge that
many people have of what CKJF does for the commu-
nity. Many know only the annual fundraising cam—

paign and social events such as the winter dinner and
Yom Ha’atzmaut celebration. These are important, but
they are only a part of the story. It is our intention to
correct this situation.

The July meeting focused on such basic issues as
defining our coverage area for campaign and service
delivery. The second meeting concentrated on identify-
ing: a) The strengths and weaknesses of CKJF, and b)
the outside inﬂuences that affect us, both positively
and negatively. We then moved into the area of pro—
gram identiﬁcation.

The third meeting will continue to concentrate on
infrastructure recommendations and program develop—
ment, and will end with the division into short term
and long term objectives with a priority ranking
assigned to each item.

If you can not attend the third meeting which will
be in mid-October and have program ideas for consid-
eration, please contact the CKJF staff who will bring
them to the meeting. a

between Prime Minister Ehud Barak and President
Yasser Arafat. And it looks like that was indeed the
case. But let us have a closer look at what happened.
During the negotiations, the Israeli team advanced
several proposal for handing over those parts of East
Jerusalem with a Palestinian majority, and proposals
for a shared control situation in the Old City that
would grant free access to the holy sites for the
followers of all religions. Israel probably felt com-
pelled to ensure this free access because between 1948
and 1967, not only were Jews not allowed access to
the Western Wall but the headstones of the Jewish
cemetery on the Mount ot‘Olives were used to pm e the

About That City

From the Israeli song “Lu Yehiy”
By Daniel Chejfec, Executive Director
Central Kentucky Jewish Federation

Jerusalem, Dr. Schultze, the population of
Jerusalem included 7, l 20 Jews, 5.000 Muslims,
3.390 Christians, 800 Turkish soldiers and 100
Europeans. While Jews were only 43 % of the
population, they represented the single largest
plurality in the city.

According to the Jerusalem almanac of 1868,
the population of Jerusalem was 9,000 Jews,
5,000 Muslims, and 4,000 Christians. Jews
constituted 50 % of the city’s inhabitants. And
Political Zionism as a movement was yet to be
founded.

By 1889, from the almost 40,000 inhabitants
of the city, 25,000 or 64 % were Jewish, 7,000
or 18 % were Muslims and 7,175 were Chris—
tians. Jews were living everywhere in Jerusalem,
not only in the Jewish Quarter, but in the other
three quarters of the Old City as well as outside
the City Walls.

In 1896, a Population study counted 28,112
Jews. 8,760 Christian Arabs and 8,600 Muslim
Arabs. An ()ttoman Census oi l9tl5 registered

All the News That’s Fit to Print

About the Times

by Michael E. Adelstein

don’t know when I fell in love with the

New York Times. Dad read the Herald

Tribune because he was enamored with
Walter Lippmann, the politically prominent
pundit of the day, so it wasn‘t as a child.

However, somewhere, sometime later, I
realized what a great paper the Times was
and still is. One of my two main disappoint-
ments about living in Lexington is that I
can‘t get home delivery. (The other is that
we‘re too far away from the ocean.)

But recently. from books and articles
about the Times. I've come to realize that it
hasn‘t always been objective and responsible
in treating the news, especially about Jews.

inﬂuential families in 20th century America,

especially in their failing to report the
Holocaust prominently. But I‘m getting
ahead of my story which starts with Adolph
Ochs.

Born in Cincinnati in 1858 to German—
Jewish parents. Adolph left school at l l to
help his family by working at the newspaper
in Knoxville where his family had moved.
Eight years later. while working at the
Chattanooga Times. Adolph borrowed $250
to purchase the paper, which was failing. ln
a few years he increased the circulation
tremendously.Even though he kept a low
profile, he married into one of the most
celebrated families in America by winning
lphigenia (Effie) Miriam Wise as his wife.

\fpaeinliats
23 3— 1 173

She was the daughter of Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise of
Cincinnati, generally considered the founder of
Reform Judaism in this country.

Using Wise’s inﬂuence and connections, Ochs
bought the failing New York Times. But he stayed
out of the public spotlight, concerned about being a
Jew. He followed the advice he had once given a
Chattanooga congregation "Live quietly, happily,
unostentatiously. Don’t be too smart. Don‘t know
too much.”

But Ochs could not escape public notice, espe-
cially when William Randolph Hurst branded him
“as an oily little commercial gentleman” controlled
by the Jewish banker August Belmont. who wanted
Longacre Square changed to Times Square.

The Times afterwards refrained from engaging in
any crusades except for supporting Leo Frank, a Jew
who had been wrongly found guilty ofthe murder of
a l3 year old girl in his factory. The trial was
conducted in such an anti—Semitic atmosphere that
the governor commuted Frank‘s death sentence to
life imprisonment. but a lynch mob hung him.

Ochs was so shocked and depressed afterwards

away from the paper for about a year. When he

banned all letters about Der Fuhrer. fearing that
there would be some anti—Semitic ones supportng
him. The ensuing uproar about the refusal to print
letters caused Ochs to become so depressed again
that he retreated to his estate and soon died.

Arthur Hays Sulzberger, Ochs’
son—in-law, became the new
publisher. As a young man, he had
become personally aware of anti-
Semitism, having been rejected by
a Columbia fraternity because of
his religion. Also, he later encoun-
tered it at Cape Cod when a hotel
clerk refused to honor the reserva-
tion for his family because he was
Jewish. This experience caused

eptember l. 2000, is

the first day of the

month of Elul. This is
the 6th month on the Hebrew
calendar. Therefore. Elul
precedes the 7th Hebrew
month that we call Tishri.
During Tishri we observe a
number of important holy days.
This includes Rosh Hashanah,
Yom Kippur. Sukkot and
Simchat Torah. Yet. the prepa—
ration fol the
these special days begins in the
month of Elul. It is during this
month that we begin to ask
ourselves questions about our
activities during the last year.
Did we say the right thing? Did
we act mercifully when we
could? Did we participate in
Tikkun Olam‘.’ Did we truly
repent by not acting in the
wrong manner as we did the
year before?

The month of Elul is the
opportunity to prepare us for
the Holy Days of Rosh
Hashanah the Day of Atone—
ment. Yom Kippur. Our rabbis
taught about Elul with the
following parable:

There was once a poor
countrywoman who had many
children. They were always
begging for food, but she had
none to give them. One day
she found an egg.

She called her children
and said, “Children. children,
we’ve nothing to worry about
any more; I’ve found an egg.
And being a provident woman,
I’ll not eat the egg, but shall

set it under her setting hen. until a
chick is hatched. For I am a provi—
dent woman! And we’ll not eat the
chick, but will set her on eggs, and
the eggs will hatch into chickens.
And the chickens in their turn will
hatch many eggs, and we’ll have
many chickens and many eggs. But
I’m a provident woman. lam! I’ll
not eat the Chickens and not eat the
eggs. but shall sell them and buy me
a heifer. And I’ll not eat the heifer,
but shall raise it to a cow, and not
eat the cow until it calves. And I’ll
not eat it then, either. and we’ll
have cows and calves. For I’m a
provident woman! And I’ll sell the
cows and calves and buy a ﬁeld,
and we’ll have ﬁelds and cows and
calves, and we won’t need anything
any more!”

hands and broke.

Said our rabbis. “That is how
we are. When the Holy Days arrive.
every person resolves to do
Teshuvah (repentance), thinking in
his heart, ‘I’ll do this. and I’ll do
that.’ But the days slip by in mere
deliberation. and thought doesn’t
lead to action. and what is worse,
the person who made the resolution
may fall even lower. Therefore
every person ought to exercise
great caution so as not to fall even
lower. God forbid."

Let us use this month of Elul
to seriously consider who we are
and make appropriate changes in
the way we act. Give serious
thought to your Jewish soul and
how it manifests itself in your daily
actions. Give serious consideration
to your Jewish life and how it is
lived within the community. When
we observe the Holy Days, let us
gather with spirits that are open and
ready to move forward into the new
Jewish year. a

CKJF LEISURE CLUB PLANS ANOTHER GREAT YEAR

By Ruth Moser

an you believe that summer is almost over and

the Holidays are just around the comer. This

has been an exciting year for the Leisure
Club, first under Janice Newman’s direction and now

We started off the year at the Coach House for a
Meet and Eat; we had lunch at TAl, were entertained
by the Temple Singers, and if that wasn’t enough,
CKJF presented Annette and me with awards for
helping the Leisure Club all these years.

To continue, in May we listened to Tomas Milch
speak on financial issues affecting seniors while dining
at Portabello's; in June we enjoyed the Louisville
Singers during lunch at the Temple; and in August we

boarded a bus to Louisville where we had lunch at the
JCC and were entertained by the Showtime Seniors.

Lots of programs, and now we are getting ready for
another program. This month we are pleased to
announce that Leonid Dayen, a Russian author and
poet from Louisville. will be at TAI on Thursday,
September 21st at 2pm to read some of his poetry and
to share some of his experiences of immigrating from
Russia to the US. And, delicious refreshments will be
served. Hope to see you there. All you have to do is
call JFS at 269—8244 to let them know you are coming.

So, come to the Leisure Club where you can always
kvetch and kvell and who knows you might even meet
a new friend. L Shanah Tovah its

Ask JFS is a monthly advice column with questions from
members of the community needing help with a wide
range of issues. If you have a problem or concern that you
would like addressed in the Shalom column, please send
your queries to: Ask JFS c/o Jewish Family Services, 340
Romany Road, Lexington, KY 40502.

Dear Jewish Family Services,

My mother is 84 years of age and though she
remains very active, there are times I worry about her
living alone. Fiercely independent, my mother feels I am
insulting her by showing concern over this. I’m not sure
what to do as I worry about her well-being but don’t want
to be intrusive. I would appreciate your advice and
perhaps others in your community have had similar issues
surrounding aging parents.

Unsure

Dear Unsure,

Your concern and thoughtfulness is admirable. If
your mother’s health is not an issue however, and she
functions appropriately as an independent adult, perhaps
your worries reﬂect some of your own fears about aging. It
will help you to talk about some of these concerns with
your doctor or with .i social unrki'r its fcur is a Very natural

condition, but not a necessary one. You may find helpfulgm ﬂ ..

Living Agelessly by Richard P. Johnson. As well, the
Lexington Wellness Center offers an array of workshops
and classes addressing such concerns. Their number is

Where your relationship with your mother is
concerned, you may want to seek new ways to
communicate in order to facilitate mutual agreement over
issues of well-being concerning both of you. You could
approach this in terms of enriching your relationship

Appeal, and the United Israel Appeal to merge
into a single entity that we know today as the

United Jewish Communities.

As part of the merger process, there was an

expectation of a new approach to promote

Israel experiences. And it happened. Spear-
headed by the Bronfman Foundation, a new

concept of providing free trips to
Israel for Jewish young adults
started to emerge. The
Bronfman Foundation was able
to bring together a number of
other private foundations and
established the ﬁrst third of a
210 million dollar endowment to
provide for this program. A
second third was contributed by
the Government of Israel, and
the remaining third was commit-
ted by the United Jewish Com-
munities. Individual communi-
ties participation in this new
program, called Birthright of
Israel, was voluntary and the
amount of such commitment
determined with a formula that
community campaign and city
size. The results of the ﬁrst year
of the program are even better
than expected, and follow-up
after—trip programs are mush—
rooming throughout college

campuses.

The Central Kentucky Jewish Federation chose
earlier this year to participate in this fund. Part of your
contributions to CKJF are helping to make the dream
of making a trip to Israel an established rite of passage
for American Jews between the ages of 18 and 26 a
reality. Thank you.
