BBW Charlotte Chapter
BB W Ha Laitah
Light of the Future
Charlotte Chapter’s Per
sonal Giving luncheon took
place at Temple Israel on
October 6. The theme of the
luncheon was “Light of the
Future.” With a motif of
Shabbos candles and a short
program the point was made
that BBW is striving to keep
our Jewish heritage alive.
Shining most brightly was
guest speaker Anita Perl
man, a past International
BBW President as well as
the founder of BBYO. Mrs.
Perlman said, “Being in
volved is the most important
element in your life.” That
we must work in our com
munities, for helping the
community is an important
-*• way of combatting anti-sem-
itism. We all must also strive
to instill in our youth a love
and understanding of our
Jewish heritage.
Good food, a meaningful
program, and a wonderful
speaker made for a bright
day and a resolution to work
for a brighter future for
Judaism. ^
Put on a Happy Face
Susan Bruck’s house was
the site of one of our com
munity projects “Pumpkins
for Pediatrics.” On October
18 and 19 our members had
the opportunity to display
their creative talents by
decorating styrofoam pump
kins for tray favors for the-
children in Presbyterian and
Memorial Hospitals. Styro
foam witches were also made
to liven up the nurses’ sta
tions. Imagination, lots of
kibbitzing, bag lunches, and
coffee and cake made for two
enjoyable get-togethers.
The pumpkins and witches
were then delivered to the
hospitals for Halloween by
“Ricky the Raccoon” and
“Terri the Clown.” It was
great to see the smiles on the
children’s faces when they
saw “Ricky” and “Terri.”
Candidates' Forum
For the second consecutive
year Charlotte Chapter and
the JCC have given the
Jewish community a chance
to hear and meet the candi
dates. On October 20 the
sheriff candidates and
county candidates put forth
their opinions and entertain
ed questions. On October 27
those running for State off
ices had their chance. Over
coffee and cake after the for
mal presentations there was
time to meet the candidates
and ask any additional
questions.
It is very important to our
future that the Jewish people
learn more about politics and
if not actively participating,
at least vote in an informed
manner.
Parents, It's Time To Talk
Currently, Charlotte
Chapter and the JCC are
sponsoring a course for
parents on teenage sexuality
and how to deal with it. The
four session course started
on October 21 and will end on
November 11. Facilitators

Relief is Just
A Massage Away
Wednesday evening, Nov
ember 3, will be our next
general membership meet
ing. We are fortunate to have
Cheryl Spangenthal show us
all how to massage our feet
in such a way as to relieve
the tension in the other parts
of our bodies, a lesson we
could all use. The meeting
will be at the Meadows Club
house and coffee and cake
will be served. For more in
formation call Reggie Wittlin
at 847-7090 or Susan
Doobrow at 542-6101.
Arosa House
Hopefully, in the near
future, the Family Support
Center will be opening a
house for battered children
on Arosa Avenue. The house
will be different from any
other facility in the country
for battered children in that
the parents of the children
will be working daily with
them to help bring about a
rehabilitation of the parents
and a mutual understanding
between the children and
parents.
Charlotte Chapter has
pledged to help fix up the
facility before the children
move in and also to en
courage the Chapter mem
bers to volunteer on an in
dividual basis to help the
Family Support Center in
Arosa house once the child
ren have moved in.
The Chapter will be
collecting new or used fur-
nishings, children’s
clothing, toys and linens for
the house. If you have any
thing to give, have an in
terest in helping to set up the
house, have an interest in
working with the Family
Support Center, or would
like further information,
please call Jane MacEntee at
332-6925 or Linda Binnick at
552-1435.

Personal Giving
Ha Lailah’s Personal Giv
ing dinner was held Tuesday
evening, October 5 at 7 p.m.
at Temple Beth El. The love
ly evening began with a
delicious dinner prepared
and served by several
members in the chapter.
Other members served as
table hostesses and took part
in a Personal Giving presen
tation. Anita Perlman,
founder of B’nai B’rith Girls
and past International Presi
dent of B’nai B’rith Women,
was the guest speaker. Mrs.
Perlman spoke about the im
portance of B’nai B’rith
Women in our own communi
ty and on a national and in
ternational level. She made
it abundantly clear that in
B’nai B’rith Women there is
a place for each individual to
become involved and that
this involvement is the ingre
dient that makes B’nai
B’rith Women a vital
organization. The members
in attendance enjoyed and
were moved by her speech
and Personal Giving was a
tremendous success.
Hunter House Work-out
Class
On October 26 the girls
from Hunter House were
treated to a sample “work
out” session by one of the in
structors from the Work-Out
Studio. The session was
geared towards getting back
in shape after the birth of the
baby and the girls
thoroughly enjoyed the exer
cise and the helpful hints.
Members from the chapter
brought nutricious and low
calorie snacks for the exer
cisers to munch on after the
session was over.
Minority Child Workshop
Ha Lailah’s Minority
Child Workshop began on
October 14 and will be held
through November 4. The
first two workshops were
held at the Jewish Communi
ty Center and over twenty-
five teachers from the
Charlotte area Public School
system and various com
munity organizations were in
attendance. The workshops,
led by members of the
chapter focused on the
minority child and his or her
special needs in the school
setting. Special time was
devoted to the Jewish child
to teach these community
representatives about the
Jewish religion and tradi
tions and how this specifical
ly affects this particular
child.
On October 28 the Judaism
Institute was held at Temple
Israel. This evening was an
integral part of the Work
shop but was open to all
members of both the Jewish
and non-Jewish community.
The evening began with a
brief presentation by Rabbi
Richard Rocklin who spoke
about the various symbols in
the synagogue and Judaism
in general. All in attendance
were then invited downstairs
where members of Ha Lailah
were stationed at different
tables representing each
Jewish holiday and other
Jewish events. Each person
was given a booklet explain
ing the various holidays and
then were able to circulate
around the room and see the
various holiday symbols and
ask questions. One of the
more interesting aspects of
the evening was the refresh
ment table. This table was
laden with traditional foods
prepared by the member
ship. What an interesting
way to introduce the non-
Jewish community to the
many delicious Jewish
foods. The last workshop
will be held on November 4.
