Page 9-THE NEWS-September, 1985 iPiii JCC Fall Class Schedule Something For Everyone! Yiddish Vinkl You may think that you don’t know a word of Yiddish, but along with the sights, sounds and aromas of Yid- dishkeit, you’ve memaged to absorb some of the vocabu lary, such as “gelt, chutzpah, schmaltz, bubaleh, kugel, ganef.” If you would like to learn more, in a leisurely and informal atmosphere, to sing aloud in Yiddish, to share a "nosh” and enjoy Jewish nostalgia, the Yiddish Vinkl is for you! This year we will discuss “A Bin tel Brief”, the fore-runner to “Dear Abbey.” You may choose to learn some popular expressions and light conver sation. If you know the Hebrew alphabet, then you’ll find learning to read Yiddish “a snap.” If you’re proficient in Yiddish, you’ll enjoy listen ing to poetry and prose read and discussed by a “pro.” Join us if you love Yid- dishkeit and desire to learn about and enjoy your Jewish cultural heritage. We meet once a month on Wednesdays, 7:30 p.m. at Temple Beth El. Mark Oct. 2, Nov. 13 and Dec. 11 on your calendar now to meet with our “lehrer” (teachers), Sholom Goozner, Baila Pransky, Raizel Luski, - Avrram ’For further information, call the JCC, 366-0357, or Stanley . and Elkie Tulman, 541-1803. Life Cycle Series Launched The JCC will launch a year long program, “The Life Cycle Series: Points On Our Path.” The series will explore key issues that contemporary adults and their families en counter in the course of their lives. The first session, October 29, will focus on “Children and Choice,” an informal discus sion of the importance of help ing children learn to make decisions. Featured is Mrs. Sue Riley of the Open Door School and author of “How to Generate Values in Young Children”. In February, FOCUS, a theatre group of talented teen agers, sponsored by Charlotte’s Planned Parent hood, will help us take an in- depth look at the excitement and the enigmas of adoles cence. “Baby Boomers: Where Are We Now?” will examine that bump in the population curve that has lived much of its life on the cutting edge of change in politics, lifestyle and values. What’s worth keeping from the past? What did we leam from the upheavals of the past 20 years? And p>erhaps, most importantly, what do we pass on to our children? Watch for this program in the spring! “I’m Me, Just a Little Older,” a program that will consider the exciting challenge provided by contemplating and/or living an active, pro ductive retirement, concludes the season’s presentations in early summer ’86. I Alive*’: Against All Odds Children will enjoy a class in Puppetry and Story Telling with Marie Weber and her “Pouppettes”. The Chai'Lites A Special Message Dear Senior Adults: Busy on Mondays? If not, the JCC’s Chai-Lites will begin their clubs’ fall programming on Monday, September 9. Rabbi Marc Wilson of Temple Israel will be on hand to meet everyone and to share a pre-holiday message. The group will discuss ideas and suggestions for fall activities at 10 a.m. at the Randolph Road Apts. Clubhouse.

The Raffle is the group’s major fund-raiser and will contribute to the purchase of the van. Dr. Gary Ferraro photo/Cliff Byrum The Alive series returns with a ten-week series, begin ning Oct. 2: “The Peoples of Africa”. We see faces of starving Ethiopian children, angry mobs of disenfranchised South Africans in newspapers and television. The fragmented ap proach of the media does little in telling Americans about the people of Africa. Oj>ry Ferraro. UNCC Anthropology Dept., in a series of informally structured meetings, will guide us through interesting, pro- vacative and timely topics designed to help us “get to know” the people of Africa — everything from a look at African family life to the in fluence of geography, climate and wildlife on their cultures. Dr. Robert Mundt, in a guest lecture, will discuss the cur rent situation in South Africa. Drs. Ferr£u-o and Mundt have traveled widely throughout Africa. Ferraro has worked as an international consultant to U.S. Agency for International Development, the Peace Corps, and lived and worked in Kenya, Ethiopia and Swaziland.

A Note From JACKIE By Jackie Fishman Adult Program Coordinator To those of you I’ve met, many thanks for the weirm welcome and support you've shown me. To those of you I’ve yet to meet, please know that I’m anxious to get acquainted. Watching the progress of the new Jewish Community Center Building on a daily basis makes me aware of how complex a construction it is. Each brick, each solder, each beam contributes to the strength of the structure. What goes on in the structure will be much the same. An ex citing, strong and viable pro gram will depend on the con tribution of each member of the community. Please let me know what you would like to see happen in the JCC’s Adult Programs. Your input is vital to what we’re building! The fall classes are in this issue of the “CJN”. Don’t forget that even though all eyes are focused on the new JCC, we’re still working on programs to meet your needs and interests in the interim. Join us for a class or program! Bring your friends!
