recent incident involving a CKJF member, the

details of which are not germane, brought to

mind the level of visibility given the work of
the Community Activity and Community Relations
Committees.

In contrast, the Jewish Family Services lJFS)
Committee under the leadership of Cookie Wenneker
and Vinnie Dubiliei supported by our professional
Fran Morris toils in relative obscurity. Yet. this group
touches the lives of a significant segment of our
membership as crisis arise in people's lives. We don't
talk a lot about the effort because of the need for
confidentiality. but it is central to the being ofCKJF
and is the recipient of a major portion of our funding
campaign. I will just say that every month, people turn
to CKJF and through the Family Services Group, we
respond to the need. (See more about JFS on page 5 in

meetings, the first of which took place in July, have a
broad based of attendees point of view and started by
examining our basic tenets about areas covered and
relationships. Future meetings will deal with strengths
and weaknesses and the identiﬁcation of the pillars
that make up the vision. These will then be divided into
short and long term items and organized in terms of
relative importance. In total, the process will take
about ﬁve months to complete and we will publish the
results for the whole community to review and com-
ment upon.

Finally, the 2000 Campaign is going extremely well
with new levels of participation on the part of both
volunteer solicitors and givers. These are the people
who power the CKJF engine as we seek to increase our
level of service to the community. it

To Peace or not to Peace
By Daniel Chejfec

o be perfectly honest, this month’s article was
going to be on a completely different subject.
The developments on the Peace front however,
lead me to reconsider this column.
We all read the paper and know that the Camp
David negotiations are (by the time you read this, it
will be “were”), difﬁcult to say the least. What is the

source of this difﬁculty ?. What are its consequences?.

Let me start from the beginning...

When political Zionism started getting serious and
scores of Jews started returning to Zion, about the end
of the XIX Century, the Arab population of what was
known as P lC\llllL lix t (l ilift of dt pr itinn Most of
the Wmﬁm m
Damascus or Beirut or even Turkey itself. Those
Arabs living on the land were few and thinly spread
simply because the tern'tory did not have an economic
structure to speak of. Then the Jews started returning
to Zion, and settling either in existing cities or found—
ing new ones. Kibbutzim started to ﬂourish in almost
every comer of the land.

By the time the British occupied the territory, in

1918, many Arabs from neighboring countries had
settled in Palestine attracted by the economic boom
produced by Jewish settlement. Jewish immigrants
were also coming in. Let us remember that the reason

England was granted the status of Mandatory Power in

Palestine by the League of Nations (the predecessor of
the United Nations) was because of the Balfour
Declaration of 1917, in which it stated that Her
Majesty would see favorably the establishment of a
Jewish Homeland in so far it did not infringe on the
rights of the non—Jewish inhabitants of the territory.

During the Mandate the British did everything in
their power to put obstruct or even prevent Jewish
immigration while turning the other way when Arabs
from surrounding countries settled in the land. The
British issued “White Papers” limiting the right of
Jews to purchase land or to immigrate into Palestine in
1922, 1923, 1929, and 1937. The Arabs, in the
meantime, forced the evacuation of the Jewish commu-
nity of Hebron and massacred those who did not leave.
They rioted through the land. It is interesting to note
that many of these riots were in fact incited after 1933
by Nazi Germany which counted numerous sympathiz-
ers, among them The Mufti of Jerusalem and a group
of obscure army ofﬁcers in Egypt, known as the
“Muslim Fraternity”, that included such names as
Gammal Nasser and Anwar Sadat.

The frustration of the Mandatory power with trying
to keep peace anion g the inhabitants of the land led it

rwmumofﬁemom

nity. On three separate occasions, international com-
mittees recommended the partition of the territory into
three parts : one to be a Jewish state, another to be an
Arab state, and a third to remain under British rule. In
all three instances, the Arabs rejected the proposals.
While the Jews rejected one of them, they accepted the
other two. Every time the Arabs rejected the proposal,

Kentucky Treasurer
Jonathan Miller joins
efforts to locate assets of
Holocaust survivors.

rankfort, Ky. - At the direction of Treasurer

Jonathan Miller, Kentucky is participating in a

national study to determine whether Holocaust
victims have property or assets being held in un-
claimed property funds.

The study — being conducted in conjunction with the
Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust
Assets in the United States- is part of a pilot project to
determine the number of Holocaust victims listed on a
nation unclaimed property database.

“This effort is the least we can do to help Holocaust
victims and their families determine whether they are
owed assets or money lost during this period in our

help Holocaust survivors and their famrhes regain
assets owed to them.”

Speciﬁcally, the study will conduct a cross-match
between a national database of unclaimed property
ﬁles and a national database of Holocaust victims.
Through the pilot project, the Presidential Commission
hopes to get a sense of whether-or how many-Holo-
caust victims are on unclaimed property lists across
the country.

Depending upon the outcome of the study, the
federal government may work with participating states
to develop a program to help return money or assets
owed to Holocaust victims and families.

As state treasurer, Miller administers the $40
million unclaimed property program and is responsible
for ﬁnding the rightful owners of property and assets
contained in the fund. is

Gay Thoughts

by Michael E. Adelstein

ncle Sydney was a lovely man. My

best memories of him go back to my

childhood when he used to mesmerize
me with enchanting stories of Merlin, the
magician, in King Arthur’s court. He could
have given J.K. Rawling's Harry Potter a run
for her money.

Later in my life, he was the gracious host to
my family during several summers at Fire
Island. a Long Island. NY. beach resort. I was
somewhat puzzled by the fact that Uncle
Sydney never married because he was an
attractive. charming man.

He was a successful department store
buyer, moving from jobs at Oppenheim
Collins to Gimbels to Macy‘s to
Bloomingdale’s and ﬁnally to Ohrbach’s,

\y licrc liis fashion slit w. s Icarurtd clw‘fia's llt'
brought back from such Paris couturiers as
Givenchy, Cardin, Dior, Chanel, and
Balenciaga. I knew nothing about this fashion
world, but when I heard that Jackie Kennedy
requested a private showing of his coats, I
realized that he was important. That conclu—
sion was substantiated when Women’s Wear
ran a two—page obituary on his death, calling
him “the Coat and Suit King.”

When did I realize that he was gay? I don’t
know except that it was the conﬁrmation of a
growing suspicion because of two male friends
that he lived with over the years. But there
were no outward signs. None of the “limp
wrist” stereotypical characteristics that people
associate with homosexuals. I wish you could
have met Sydney. He was a fascinating, kind,
beautiful man.

So I’m prejudiced about homosexuals—pro
not con. And I’m irritated by the outcries
against them and the general refusal to grant
them basic human rights and to make them
eligible for same—sex marriages or unions.

More and more recent scientific evidence is
conﬁrming that homosexuality is caused by
some physiological factor. Consequently,
homosexuals are born with an attraction for
others of the same sex. They can do nothing
about this proclivity.

If homosexuals could change, I believe
most would. I grew up in an era when effemi—
nate boys were generally ostracized, being

taunted and jeered at with such words as “fairy,”
“fag,” and “sissy.” Few of them would have
endured such torment if they could have changed
their sexual identiﬁcation. And despite claims by
some religious organizations, I don’t believe that
homosexuals can change their sexual orientation
today. Some may pretend to be converted, some
may think they are converted, but in the long run,
they will realize that they are still homosexuals.

Of course, I realize that Baptists and some
fundamentalists, like Dr. Laura, adhere to the
Bible’s calling homosexuality “an abomination.“
They are guilty of being selective in choosing
statements from the Bible that they agree with.
ignoring others that are obviously irrational
today. But it is useless to point this fact out to
them.

Despite such groups and individuals. gays are
making progress. The (‘entral Conference of

American Rabbis has gone on record as support—
ing rabbis vy ho pcI'torm same—sex ceremonies.

Locally, Rabbi Adland has stated that he would
conduct such a ceremony. Rabbi Cohen could not
be reached at this time.

\._. . 3 l ‘;_.. 1.. Kw "I. I. .I... .. 31..
Lexmgton. Louisville. and Henderson~ —elltt\ c
passed gay—rights ordinances extending civil
rights to homosexuals.

Nationally. the State of Vermont has recog-
nized that homosexual couples are entitled to the
same legal rights and beneﬁts as heterosexuals
couples. Some major corporations, such as
General Motors, Ford, and Daimier-Chrysler
now provide health-care beneﬁts to the partners
of gay employees. But the gay cause is being
bitterly contested throughout the nation by the
Religious Right.

They were successful in getting the federal
Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) passed, which
deﬁnes marriage as the legal union between a
man and a woman. Consequently, if a state
legalizes same-sex marriage, other states are
exempt from the constitutional requirement of
recognizing it.

Why is marriage such an important issue for
homosexuals? State laws grant married couples
inheritance rights, the right to visit a partner in a
hospital and make health care decisions (vital in
AIDS cases), preference in becoming a partner’s
guardian if that person is incapacitated, rights as
a step-parent if the partner has a child, the right
to buy and own property together, and many
others. Without such rights, homosexual partners
are second Class citizens.

Let me leave you with one thought—there but
for some physiological factor in your genetic
make-up, go you. Please act accordingly. a

second half of the program will be the Brubeck
performance.

Brubeck, a 20th century jazz icon, has been hon-
ored the world over for his contributions to modern
music. In addition to his performing, he has received
recognition as a composer of orchestral works, orato-
rios, cantatas, ballets, and chamber music. Nonethe-
less, he remains a leading ﬁgure in the jazz main-
stream, recording and touring internationally with
today’s version of the Dave Brubeck Quartet, which
includes Randy Jones on drums and Alec Dankworth
on bass. The fourth player in the quartet on September
