1,000,000 Jews
Don’t Vote

by Joel Eizenstat

Several voter registra-
tion studies have dramatically
shattered the myth that “all Jews
always vote." They disclose that
nearly one million of the four
million eligible Jewish voters are
not even registered to vote.
(Additionally, tens of thousands
of those registered do not cast
their ballots.)

Jews have always prided
themselves on a deep commit—
ment to. and full participation in.

the highest percentage of voters
in this country. But, alarmingly,
that may now be changing.

Largely because of the
apparent apathy of newly enfran-
ehised voters between the ages of
18 and 25 and the increased
mobility of our Jewish population
(especially senior citizens).
Jewish voting behavior is no
longer at the admired and impor-
tant high level of a generation
ago.

1996 is a watershed year
for the Jewish domestic and Israel
agenda. That is why we must
pull out all the stops to regain our
once acknowledged political
clout.

Premiering on October 16, 1996 on your local PBS stations, ‘

Bill Moyers will host a ten-week series of interfaith dialogues on the
major stories of Genesis. As participants of different religious back-
grounds and different walks of life are led to examine the lessons con—
tained in these stories, so too will viewers be led to look at these stories
with fresh eyes. People interested in learning how to engage in inter-

TORAH COMIVIEN'IARY

 

 

hough it will be
October when
you receive this

edition of Shalom, I am writing
this article before Rosh
HaShanah. It is a very busy time
of year. The Temple and
Synagogue are getting ready to
begin their annual Religious
School and Hebrew School pro—
grams. The sanctuaries are being
cleaned in anticipation of the
throngs who will gather for the
Holy Days. Adult education
courses are about to begin.
Preparation and readiness is a nat-
ural part of the Jewish fall season.

It is an interesting time

Ml scar In hugm things Line“ In

the year. The leaves are turning
brown and falling to the ground.
Flower gardens are no longer pro-
ducing the vibrant colors. The
grass is growing much more
slowly. For Jews, this time of
year is rebirth, internal growth,
spiritual searching and, hopefully,
fulfillment. In this spirit of new—
ness, I turn my attention to the
Torah portions for October.

As I mentioned, most
people see this time of the year as
the beginning of the end. For
Jews, the first weekend in
October represents both the end
and the beginning. On Simchat
Torah we read the last verses
from the book of Deuteronomy,
the death of our great leader and
prophet, Moshe Rabbeinu
(Moses) and then we turn to the
first verses of Genesis, when God
begins to create the world. The
Torah is like the round challah of
Rosh HaShanah. It goes on and
on. Birth is followed by death
and death by birth.

On Shabbat Bereshit,
October 12/29 Tishri, we begin
reading Genesis again. We all
know the stories of the beginning
of the book of Genesis. In chap-
ter 1, we read of the day by day
creation. This begins with light

on the first day and continues
until human beings are created in
God’s image on the sixth day.
Each day of creation adds another
layer to the beauty of this world:
light to water to trees to sun,
moon and stars, animals and
birds, and humans. In a sense, the
writers of this story wanted us to
see clearly all the beauty of the
world at its special moment.

The second chapter of
Genesis begins with the setting
aside of the seventh day as a day
of rest. The story then moves to
the creation of Adam. After the
rest of the world is created, God
creates Eve. This chapter seems
more personal and familiar. The
chapter has more human over-
tones even though the egalitarian

nature of humans in this chapter
l\ tliztrigcd lm subscrvwnce as Iivc

another beginning i life/the~

helpmate.

he high point of
Shabbat Bereshit
is reached in

chapters 3 & 4. Chapter 3 is the
story of the Garden of Eden when
human beings learn of their sexu-
ality by eating from the fruit of
knowledge. In chapter 4, Cain
murders his brother Abel and
pays the consequences for this
action. Even worse is the
moment of this chapter when
Cain asks, “Am I my brother’s
keeper.”

Shabbat Noach is
October 19/6 Cheshvan. Noach is
a person we like to like. He is a
righteous person in his genera-
tion. The rabbis in commenting
on Noach find that he is some—
what lacking, especially when
compared with Abraham. Where
Abraham argues with God to save
Sodom and Gemorrah, Noach just
builds the ark to save his immedi-
ate family and some animals.
Where Abraham is righteous in
any generation, Noach is right-
eous only in his generation. In
his time, Noach does good. He
saves the animals. He populates a
destroyed world. He establishes a
covenant with God with the rain-
bow as its sign. I don’t mean to

negate Noach’s significance, but
compared to Abraham, Noach
was righteous only in his genera-
tion.

Shabbat Lech L’cha
(October 26/13 Cheshvan) begins
the story of the Jewish people.
Abraham is called by God to
leave behind the place of his birth
and his family to go forth to a
place that only God knows, a land
that God will show him. God
makes several promises to
Abraham. God promises to make
a great nation from Abraham.
God promises to bless him and to
make his name great. With these
commitments from God to
Abraham, Abraham starts on his
journey. This is a journey that
continues until this day.

‘ s we begin this
‘ journey, we recv
. . ,

beginning of the religion we call
Judaism. Judaism is a commit—
ment of life. It is what we do
from the time we get up in the
morning until we go to bed at
night. Judaism is celebration of
the joyous moments in our lives
and the grieving from sorrow.
Judaism is from birth to death
and, with the birth of a new
Jewish child or the conversion of
someone to Judaism, to birth once
again. Judaism is the journey
from Genesis to Deuteronomy
and back to Genesis once again.

Most people look at the
trees in their yard and call them
bare. I look at the branches in
anticipation of the recognition of
the new buds for spring. I look at
my garden after I have tilled it in
the fall and think about what to
plant in the spring. I look at a
new Jewish child and think about
the Jewish opportunities that are
still ahead of him or her.

Genesis marks a begin-
ning for Jews as most of the
world is thinking about endings.

, Let us make this new year a won—

derful beginning for us all. As it
says in Genesis, "You shall be a
blessing.”

his Rosh
HaShanah made
me think, which I

must admit is an act that becomes
more difficult with each passing
year. People make resolutions
during the secular new year, but
Jews welcome the new year with
services, the days of awe, and
then atonement. Though we start
the new year with a clean slate,
wouldn’t it be easier to adhere to
the teachings of Judaism if we
made a list of personal resolutions
as well?

Following is my list of
resolutions for 5757. Some repre-
sent merely wishful thinking,
while others are actions definitely
within my control. Keeping with
some tradition, please note I have
18 (chai)“Jewish resolutions.”

In 5757...

l. I would like to see seminars on
religious/cultural sensitivity held
on days other than Rosh
HaShanah or Yom Kippur.

2. Have any and all electronic
equipment break down the day
before the warranty expires,
rather than the day after.

u ...Shalom...October1996

3. Actually call or write people
I’m thinking about, instead of
doing nothing more to let them
know they are in my thoughts.

4, Make a phone call and NOT
get an automated answering sys-
tern.

5. Go or do something because I
want to, not because I have to or
because it‘s expected of me.

6. Finish a job or project before
it’s due.

7. Get one or two GREEN lights
driving rush hour traffic on Tates
Creek Road.

8. Contact someone less fortunate
than myself and offer words or
acts of support and kindness.

9. Buy something the day after it
goes on sale instead of seeing it
on sale in the paper the week after
my purchase.

10. Tell my daughter I love her--
everyday!

11. Cook a few “real meals”
instead of defrosting something or
serving dinner through the car
window.

12. Don’t believe or perpetuate
any gossip. By the way did you
hear ..... oops, never mind!

[3. Vacuum more than once a
month. A little wear and tear on
the old Electrolux is certainly a
fair trade-off for less dirt and dust
on the floors. Who knows, my
allergies may even dissipate.

14. Attend available
lectures/classes to expand my
knowledge on any and all inter—
esting subjects.

15. Have peace throughout the
world.

16. Discover a cure for AIDS and
canceL

17. Know of a politician running
for office that I truly wanted to
vote for, not just cast my ballot
for the lesser of the evils.

18. And finally, what would a list
of resolutions be without this one,
EXERCISE MORE!

Well there they are,
some were said with tongue—in-
cheek and others came from the
heart. Now, to offset this list, I

think I’ll also make up a list of
possible sins for 5757. Then in
5758 when I cast my bread
crumbs into the waters, I’ll know
exactly what I’m throwing away.
Ijust hope I don’t lose my lists.

Photography Gallery Shows Pictures Are
Worth More Than Words

by Holly Barnhill

otography

is no flash in

the pan

when it comes to the world of art.

Innovative technologies and

astronomical selling prices have

advanced photographic art to

prominence in galleries world-
wide.

Lexington boasts its own
world—class gallery, Julia’s
Gallery of Photography. Owner
Julia Weinstein opened her doors
two years ago in Lexington’s
Civic Center Shops. Julia previ-
ously worked in a Photography
Gallery in Carmel, California.
She moved to Lexington when
her husband’s job brought them
here.

Julia says. “ I couldn’t
Had a gallery to work in, so 1
opened my own. Ipersonally feel
the most exciting things in the
visual art world are happening in
photography.”

Indeed, photography has
come a long way since a pack of
film, a few flash cubes and an
instamatic camera did the trick.
The Gallery has on exhibit sever-
al artists who make use of various
nouveau techniques.

Elizabeth Murray uses a
polaroid camera to take her pic-
tures. Then she smears the emul-
sion, while it’s developing, with a
soft wooden tool. Next the image
is enlarged and transferred to
water color paper. Ms. Murray
then draws and paints on the
image, using oils, pastels and col-
ored pencils. The final product is
a cross between a photograph and
an impressionist painting.

Susan Fenton takes
black and white photographs, and
completely paints over the image
in oils.

Carol Henry creates her
art without the use of film or even
a camera. In a dark room she sus-
pends flowers over photographic
paper, with a light source above
the flower. The light passes
through a lens to enlarge the
image. A long exposure is used

to make the flower appear
translucent. The photographic
paper develops the final image.
Each of Ms. Henry’s works is one
of a kind, as there is no film or
negative to reproduce another
exact image, and the strong light
wilts each flower as it goes
through this process. So, as

by one of these artists is approxi—
mately $600.

When asked about the
retained value of photographs,
Ms. Weinstein replied, “Prices
have historically gone up.”

Christie’s Auction
House sold, in 1993, a black and

 

Black and white photograph by John Wimberley
titled “Descending Angel"

nature varies her creations, so
does this photographic process.
Ms. Weinstein describes these
works as, “very Georgia
O’Keeffe-like.”

For the traditionalists,
the Gallery also offers black and
white “straight” photographs
from artists like Ansel Adams. “I
have access to anything out there
in the market," says Ms.
Weinstein, “however, in the
Gallery 1 exhibit mostly contem-
porary photographers in the mid-
career level. That refers to artists
that have achieved a recognition
level, having been in the business
for about 20 years--and number
one, being very good, yet are still
relatively young.” The average
price for a 16” x 20” photograph

white photograph by Alfred
Stiegltize entitled, Portrait of
Georgia O’Keefle - Hands with
Thimble, for $398,500.
Christie’s has also sold, in recent
years, two black and white Man
Ray photographs titled Noir et
Blanche and Hier, Demain, and
Aujouidhui for $354,500 and
$222,500 respectively.

Photographers are now
careful to limit and number their
prints. Most images are limited
to 40 to 100 prints, although this
number may vary. Some artists
sell their first eight (or whatever
number is determined) for a cer-
tain amount. The next limited

Did you
ow

that Section E—2 is
for the perpetual and
exclusive use of the

Jewish community .

On December 2, 1884, the Spinoza Society purchased
from the Lexington Cemetery Company an entire section
for the perpetual and exclusive use of the Jewish
community, according to a short history of the society
written by Moses Kaufman, in 1887.

The area purchased by the Spinoza Society was
Section 13-1, and it sufficed for more than ninety years. In
1977, nearby Section E-2 was secured by the society.

If you would like to know more about space in the
Spinoza Society’s Section 13-2, or other information about

“Pirouette, ” a sculpture by Frank Morbillo, is part
of an exhibit currently on display at Julia ’5
Gallery. This piece sells for $3400.

group of reproductions has a
higher selling price. As the
demand increases so does the
price, however, the higher price
may in turn keep down the
demand. Thus, this method is
self-regulating in keeping up the
value of the piece.

Julia Weinstein plans to
keep Lexington and the central
Kentucky area in tune with the
world of art, but not only with
photography. A new exhibit, fea-
turing sculptures by Frank
Morbillo, is now at the Gallery.
Also on display is photographer
Christopher Burkett’s new collec~
tion of Cibachrome prints, enti-
tled “Hawaii.”

Planned for the future is
an exhibit featuring the pho-
tographs of Kyung Schoenman, a

University of Kentucky photogra-
phy student. Her photographs are
studies of Korean female divers.
These divers harvest sea urchins,
sea cucumbers and sea weed from
the depths of the Pacific Ocean
without the benefit of any artifi-
cial breathing apparatus.

Lexington already
claims a history with photogra-
phy. Ms. Weinstein noted that
from 1936 to 1972 the Lexington
Camera Club existed in the area.
In 1956 their show received
national recognition and included
the works of such renowned
artists as Ansel Adams and
Eugene Meatyard.

From its history to the
present, photography remains a
developing art in Kentucky.

Financial Advisor

The Rag

 

here is an old

adage that

“time heals all
wounds.” Time will also allow
you to accumulate a lot of capital.
The two secrets are: you need to
invest on a systematic basis; and,
you need to be true to that invest-
ment, unless there are unusual cir-
cumstances. Many people
believe that “market timing” will
work, but it has been proven that
it does not.

Diversification of assets
is probably more important than
any: other item. other than to keep
Iiiygstmg owr a long period of
time. ‘ The average rate Of return,
for example, of the Dow Jones
Index 500 is over 10.5% per year
for a sixty—two—year (62) period.
This is an average, but it illus-
trates the point.

Another asset that most
of us own is real estate. That has
appreciated over a thirty-year (30)
period by 400 or 500%, depend-
ing upon the location of the prop-
erty.

An item of interest is the
appearance of “no-loa ” life and
disability insurance. Actually, the
products do carry a bit of a load,
but they are non—commissionable.
This type of insurance is very
similar to no-load mutual funds.
You can buy these products

directly from the insurance com-
pany, or the brokerage operation
owned by General Electric, or an
advisor, who would charge you a
fee.

Many of us feel pres-
sured when dealing with life
insurance agents, because we are
afraid that we are going to be sold
something. But yet, when we
visit an attorney, or CPA, there is
no pressure, as we are seeking
advice, which hopefully will be
given to facilitate our best inter-
ests. By working for a fee, and
with the proper credentials and
education. this brings the insur-
anceprofessional on an equal
plane with other professionals
that you visit for financial and
investment advice.

As a certified financial
planner, I have become very
interested in the “limited liability
company” concept. This is a
vehicle that limits liability in case
of a lawsuit, which does not turn
out in your best interest. It pro-
vides an additional layer of pro-
tection for lawsuits. You will
witness that more and more pro-
fessional organizations, such as
accounting and law firms are
establishing L.L.C.’s (Limited
Liability Company) or L.L.P.‘s
(Limited Liability Partnership).
While there is no minimum net
worth to review this product, I
strongly urge those with assets of

Peddler

$2,000,000 or more to look at this
situation with their professional
planner. In addition to the
Limited Liability Company, there
are other layers of protection,
such as Family Limited
Partnerships, and Foreign Asset
Protection Trusts.
