Intellectual, Talk Show Host To
Give -Moosnick Lectures

LEXINGTON, KY - Dennis Prager, Jewish author, lecturer, and Los
Angeles radio talk show host, will be the 1993 Moosnick Lecturer at
Lexington Theological Seminary, April 15-16. He will speak on
campus at 10:00 am. each day and at 7:30 pm, April 15, at Ohavay
Zion Synagogue.

Something ofa Renaissance man, he is a moralist who is
interested in many areas of life. He states that his mission in
life is "to get people obsessed with what's right and wrong."

His radio talk show, Religion on the Line, expresses his
wide ranging interests. He can be as opinionated on music, human
relations, child rearing, and sex differences as he is on religion,
international relations, and morality.

Prager is difficult to define. He is regarded as an
independent thinker who is committed to social justice, yet is not
a liberal; an observant and deeply religious Jew, yet not Orthodox;
and an intellectual yet profoundly critical of modern universities
and contemporary intellectual life.

Prager's many interests and endeavors give him a large
number of supporters and subscribers among Christians and other
non-Jews. His radio show has been broadcast by Vatican Radio. he

to negotiate human rights with the Soviet Union. In april, 1990,
the US. State Department invited him to mnduct the Passover Seder
at the US. Embassy in Moscow.

In addition to being a radio personality, he is the
publisher ofa quarterlyjournal, ULTIMATE ISSUES, a prolific
author of journal articles, a popular lecturer, and is the author
of two major books written with Rabbi Joseph Telushkin. The first,
The Nilw Questions People Ask About Judaism, is the most widely used
introduction to Judaism in the world. His second book, Why the
Jews? The Reason for Antisemitism, is an explanation of
antisemitism.

This 'is the sixth year for the Moosnick Lectures.
established by the Seminary through the generosity of family and
friends of Lexington physician Dr. Franklin B. Moosnick. Its
purpose is to enable the Seminary’s students and others to learn
from outstanding Jewish thinkers and to gain appreciation of
Judaism.

The public is cordially invited to attend the lectures.

THE MATZAH OF UNITY

[To be recited during the Seder at Yachau—when breaking the middle Matuh)

We are about to take the middle matzah and divide it in half. As we break
this mauah and set it aside, we link ourselves symbolically with all Jews
who have lived in the former Soviet Union. We will not conclude our
Seder until the missing piece of mauah is found and brought again to our
table. That action reminds us of the indestructible unity which binds all
Jews together as a world family.

Jews of the Soviet Union encountered decades of suppression. Struggling
to live as Jews, many sought valiantly to leave for Israel, the homeland of
the Jewish people. Many sullered harassment; some endured prison, and
some lost their lives.

At last, most Jews 'can leave the country that represented a prison for so
long. For now, the door to freedom remains open. We walk with them in
their Exodus and commit ourselves to help them in their quest for a new
and better future for themselves and their children.

We also remember the several million Jews who still remain behind. We
pledge our vigilance, our support, and our solidarity with them, as they
endeavor to sustain their community, reaffirm their Jewish identity and
courageously resist anti-Semitism.

As Jews from the former Soviet Union, Ethiopia and other countries settle
in Israel by the hundreds of thousands, we know that their reunification
with the Jewish people requires our caring and loving concern. May we
be worthy of that challenge.

We pray that all Jews may find freedom this year—in a world without war
~ and with Israel at peace. Amen.

THE TORAH THIS MONTH

By Rabbi Eric R. Slaton

The readings from the Torah this month come from the
book of Leviticus. Much of it is about issues surrounding the
tabernacle, sacrifices and ritual purity.

TZAV - April 3/ 12 Nissan
This portion begins with a listing of the
difl'erent types of sacrifices that were to be made: the burnt,
sin, guilt, peace and the freewill offerings. These offerings
were brought by the people to the tabernacle to be made by
Aaron and his sons.

This portion also includes a description of the process
by which Aaron and his sons were anointed to begin their work
as Kohanim. After the ceremony, they remained within the
Tabernacle for seven days.

NEWS IN BRIEF

Israeli Casino Plans Are Rolling

by David Landau

Jerusalem, JTA -- Israel may have moved a step closer
toward having its first gambling casino after Finance Minister
Avraham Shohat told the Knesset that he favors changing the
law to allow such gaming halls. Shohat said the southern
seaside resort of Eilat would be unable to compete against
neighboring Jordanian and Egyptian Red Sea resorts unless it
offered gambling. A group of leading hoteliers in Tiberias have
written to Donald Trump urging him to invest in a casino-and-
hotel complex in their town.

 Letters to the Editor

To whom it may concern:

My ancestors were
some of the first settlers in
Kentucky.
' I am interested in
studying and researching the
lives of the first Jew to settle
in Kentucky. Especially
those that settled in Harlan
00., Knox Co., Whitley Co.,
Laurel Co., and Pike County
areas. ,

I know that most
Jews after being in less
populated areas that had no
synagogues moved to larger
cities after a time in want of
closer ties to the Jewish
community and the
convenience of a nearby
synagogue. I am interested
in the history and names of
such individuals and where
they first settled and where

they and their families
eventually settled.
I know that records of

this must exist but I don't
know where to purchase it,
that is why I am writing to
you.

If you can help me,
please send me the amount I
need to send to you and / or
where I may purchase or
receive records or copies of
records to help me in my
genealogical research.

Some surnames I am
researching from my family

Religious
Awards for
Jewish Girl

Scouts
by Mary Birenbaum '

Girl Scouts of the
USA encourages every Girl
Scout to become a stronger
member of her own religious
group and recognizes that
religious instruction is the
responsibility of parents and
religious leaders. The
National Jewish Girl Scout
Committee has developed a
series of awards for girls ages
7 through 17. The Menorah,
Bat Or, and Lehavah Award
programs were developed and
written by Jewish teachers
with the guidance and help of
Conservative, Orthodox and
Reform rabbis. The
requirements may be
completed by the individual
Girl Scout, guided by her
rabbi, Jewish educator or a
knowledgeable Jewish adult.
For information on how your
Girl Scout daughter can take
part in this program. contact,
Mary Birenbauznat277-957 l
or 1-800-432-0934 (after 5
P.M.).

I recently spoke with
Arthur Frank who suggested
I write to you. I want to
inform you that on April 25th
at 7:00 pm, St. Luke United
Methodist Church (2351
Alumni Dr.) will hold a
Holocaust Remembrance
Service. Rabbi Eric Slaton
will be a speaker. We've
invited the Jewish
Community along with every
church in Lexington to come
and be a part of this service.
Mr. Frank suggested that
this information could be
included in the next CKJF
newsletter. Your help with
this would be so appreciated.

At St. Luke, it is our
belief that we as Christians
must take a stand against
anti-Semitism and hate
which continue to escalate in
our society. During the
Holocaust years, the church
as a whole remained silent
and passive as 6,000,000
Jews were murdered. Today,
we desire to stand with the
Jewish community in saying
"NEVER AGAIN!"

Hungary Vows to Punish
Skinheads Who Stabbed Jewish

Girl in Budapest
by Agnes Bohm

Budapest, JTA -- A Jewish girl who was stabbed and
injured by neo-Nazi skinheads has become the subject of
national attention after Hungarian Interior Minister Peter
Boross made a special point of promising punishment for the
offenders.

Boross said it was unacceptable for skinheads wearing
swastikas to be attacking people on the streets of Budapest.
The 17-year-old victim of the stabbing, who did not want her
name released, said she was attacked in front of her home by
two youths who shouted at her "damned Jew".

Police have not yet identified the youths responsible for
the attack. The girl told reporters she received warning letters
declaring "Death to the Jews" shortly after telling her
classmates in school she was Jewish. The girl, whose
grandmother survived the Auschwitz death camp, is now being
escorted back and forth to school by armed guards, paid for by
the local Jewish community.

Serious anti-Semitic incidents
Are up by 15 percent in Australia

by Jeremy Jones

Sydney, JTA -- The number of anti-Semitic incidents of
violence, serious vandalism and harassment in Australia rose
15 percent last year, although the number of less serious anti-
Semitic incidents fell to the lowest in three years.

The report, issued by the Executive Council of
Australian Jewry, pointed out that there were" ever 10
incidents a month. Holocaust survivors are a particular target
of the racists with pro-Nazi harassment coupled with the
racism of the Holocaust deniers.

The total of all incidents showed a slight decrease over
the two previous years confirming the Jewish community's
belief that fallout from the Persian Gulf War was responsible
for the dramatic upsurge in the number and violence of
incidents in 1990 and 1991.

Tel Aviv Grocery Clerk Spots

Homemade Bomb In Coffee Can
by Hugh Orgel

Tel Aviv, JTA -- A Tel Aviv grocery clerk prevented a
potential disaster when he noticed that a coffee can seemed
heavier than usual. The reason: it contained a bomb.

The clerk, who had just immigrated from the Soviet
Union a few months ago, was working in a small store between
two of the city's busiest shopping avenues. When a customer
asked for a can of instant coffee, the immigrant went into the
back stocker to fetch a new supply. As he handed the can
to the customer, he remarked: "That seems heavier than
usual. Don't you think so?"

The police were called to the scene and demolition
experts discovered that the can contained explosives and a
wristwatch timer device set to go off within the hour. The
homemade bomb was detonated without causing casualties or
damage.

The annual Yam HaShoah observance
(Holocaust Memorial Day) will be
Sunday, April 18, at 5:00 PM, at Temple

remember so as never to forget the victims
and the tragedy of our recent past.

German Police confiscate Neo-
Nazi Records, Tapes

by David Kantor

German police have confiscated thousands of neo-Nazi
records and tapes in more than 10 major localities as part of a
nationwide crackdown on right-wing music.

Police raided the homes and offices of musicians and
producers of the industry which has popularized songs calling
for the expulsion of foreigners from Germany and praised the
country's Nazi past.

The music is seen by some as contributing to a wave of
anti-foreigner violence, racism, and anti-Semitism in Germany.
The Anti-Defamation League has been pressing Chancellor
Helmut Kohl's government for some time to take action against
neo-Nazi rock groups.

American Zionist‘Movement Is
Born With Focus on Grass Roots
And Youth

Miami, JTA -- The American Zionist Federation has a
new name and a new leader. Now it remains to be seen if the
umbrella group of 17 American pro-Israel organizations will
also have a new face. .

The first formal American Zionist Congress since the
founding of the Jewish state changed the federation's name to
the American Zionist Movement and elected Seymour Reich as
its president. The congress also adopted new bylaws and
pledged to reinvigorate American Zionism and to extend its
reach to a new generation of American Jews and onto
American college campuses.

The major goals include: consolidation of the
bureaucracy of the American Zionist movement, gain control
over WZO funds spent in the United States [roughly $10
million annually], create a prominent public voice dedicated to
defending Israel and Jewish political rights, and to reinvigorate
grass-roots Zionist activism.

Despite the negativism from Dina Shalit, a Likud
delegate who stated "the speeches are a farce... [because]...They
don't even have the word 'aliyah' in their bylaws, so what kind
of Zionism is that?", she also admitted that it had a reasonable
chance of succeeding and the overall goals were welcome.

"For years, campus and youth activities have been on
the back burner," said Michael J ankelowitz, an official with the
University Student Department of the American Zionist Youth
Foundation. "Now I think we’re going to be where the action
is."

Pollard Becoming Central Cause

btharry Yudelson. ' PM M

New York, JTA -- Jonathon Pollard's hour may be
coming round at last. Advocates for the convicted spy have
long targeted two obstacles to clemency or pardon: Apathy
from Jewish organizations and malevolence from former
Secretary of Defence Caspar Weinberger. Now those obstacles
may be fading away.

Among the Jewish organizations recently calling for
clemency for Pollard, or a presidential review of his life
sentence, are the American Jewish Congress, American Jewish
Committee, Hadassah, the new American Zionist Movement,
community relations councils in New York, San Francisco and
Boston, and Chicago's Jewish federation.

Meanwhile . . . W einberger has passed word that he
would not object to Pollard's release, according to a report
published in the Forward, a New York Jewish weekly. His
message was conveyed amid a number of appeals by prominent
Jewish Republicans to then-President Bush, in the final days
of his administration.

During the election campaign Clinton promised a
review of the case. Organizations, while still emphasizing that
their appeals are on humanitarian grounds, are taking a
stronger position. Hadassah called on Clinton to "commute
Pollard's sentence to time already served."

Pollard's lawyer, Theodore Olson, said he was not
worried about the tactical issues of appealing for clemency
from an administration with a new attorney general.

"I think we will play that by ear," he said. "It is an
ongoing process until we're successful. It will take whatever
shape and form avails itself."

Spielberg, WJ C Reach Agreement
Over Making Movie At Auschwitz

by Tom Tugend

Los Angeles, JTA -- A potential conflict over the filming
of "Schindler's List" by Steven Spielberg has been resolved
amicably.

Spokespersons for Spielberg and for the World Jewish
Congress, which had objected to the project, agreed that
Spielberg would not employ numerous extras nor erect a
replica gas chamber at the former death camp, which is now a
memorial site.

It was the concern that such reported production plans
would mar the dignity of the site that led WJC to issue a
protest two weeks ago.

Another point of contention was the charge that the
International Auschwitz Museum Council, of which WJ C Vice
President Kalman Sultanik is vice chairman, had earlier
rejected Spielberg's request to film at the site.

Spielberg reportedly appealed directly to the Polish
government and received permission to go ahead with his
project.

A spokeswoman for Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment
company said that only a "symbolic scene" would be staged,
showing the arrival of Jewish prisoners at the Auschwitz train
terminal.

sponsoring a Parent and Student Awareness Panel on
Tuesday, April 20th from 8:00 to 9:30 PM at Ohavay Zion
