Mezuzots and Artworks Donated
By Ethel Gordon
The two available mezuzot
for purchase at the entrances
to the Sandra and Leon Levine
Community Center have been
bought and donated. The first
has been donated by Mr. and
Mrs. Leon Levine and family
in honor of Dorothy and Her
man Poliakoff, peirents of San
dra Levine. Details of the se
cond donation will be publish
ed in the January CJN as the
presentation will be made dur
ing Chanukah.
Three pieces of art to be
hung in the complex were
received by the Visual Arts
Committee. Two lithographs
were donated by Mike and
Sara Schreibman, “Path of
Life” by Grayluck and “City
in Yellow” by Arad. A third
piece, a lithograph on extend
ed loan, is from Peggy and
Elliot Gartner. The artist
credited to the work is Milsh-
tein. We appreciate their
thoughtfulness.
The committee is constant
ly looking for Jewish related
art. Soon, we hope to bring to
Charlotte a selection of art
work that would be fitting for
permanent display at our
Center or for personal use. The
works will be on view and
available for purchase and/or
donation.
Funds also would be grate
fully accepted to further our
future projects. Currently our
needs include specialized glass
cases for Judaica and
pedestals for sculpture. Until
we m£ike these acquisitions,
displays of these objects will
be impossible.
Consider commemorating
an event or honoring a special
person through a donation to
the Visual Arts Committee of
the Foundation. Contact Ethel
Gordon at 366-0527 if you
have any questions concerning
donations or leave a message
at the JCC office and a
member of the committee will
contact you.
Art Show and Sale Continues at Shalom Park
By Ethel Gordon
Twenty-seven framed pieces
of art are hanging in the East
and West Galleries of the
Blumenthal Education
Building, Shalom Park, as
part of a local art show and
sale now going on through
December 15.
The purpose of the show is
twofold; one, to acquaint the
members and visitors of the
Foundation Galleries with the
work of local artists, and two,
to raise funds for the Visual
Arts Committee.
The works are in a variety of
media including watercolors,
pastels, oils, acrylics and mix
ed media. Subjects range from
painted landscapes by
Florence Jaffa, Josef Sklut
and John Burtoff to mixed
media abstracts by G.G.
Kosch and Lina Levine. The ti
tle “Kaleidoscope Memory”
gives a hint of the content of
one of G.G.’s pieces. A group
of pieces combining
calligraphy and watercolor
washes by Laurie Graybeal
are fresh and very profes
sional. The work that states
“A clean house is the sign of
an empty mind” always brings
smiles to the viewers. Other
artists who submitted work to
the show are Lorri Barman,
Ethel Gordon, Renee Molko
Gorelick, Joel Kweskin,
Margie Rolnick, Carol
Shafranek, Roberta Sosnik
and Elkie Tulman. All artists
showing their works are con
tributors to the Foundation.
A well attended opening
reception was held Nov. 3. It
was an event that fulfilled one
of the art committee’s reasons
for being, that of bringing peo
ple together of similar in
terests, people who may not
have ordinarily met. Con
viviality spread through the
galleries and continued past
the closing hour.
Stop by and see the show.
Highly visible signs are now
located throughout the
building to direct you to the
galleries. While there be sure
to look at the unframed art in
a bin in the East Gallery. You
may find something you would
like to own or give as a gift.
Proceeds go to the Visual Arts
Committee of the Foundation
to further their projects.
Lina Levine chaired the
show and reception with the
help of Ethel Gordon. Lina’s
tireless and creative efforts
were seen in the publicity and
the reception as well as the
show as it currently hangs.
Many thanks to all who
participated.
Special Programs Planned
For Shalom Y*A11 Newcomers
By Sandra Weinstein
Shalom Y’All is intended to be a warm reception to our
newcomers, introducing them to the Jewish community and the
community at large.
Can you imagine feeling all alone in a city of 360,000
population?
Shsilom Y’All, sponsored by Women’s Division of Charlotte
Jewish Federation, meets weekly on Tuesdays, 10 a.m.-12 noon
at the “J”. There are also monthly meetings in the evening to
accommodate working men and women, spouses, couples and
all newcomers to Charlotte.
The first evening meeting was held Nov. 4 and it was a huge
success! Over 40 newcomers attended to enjoy meeting one
another and to heeir Elciine Chemotsky, Jewish Family Services,
speak on adjustments. Elaine had previously spoken to the
daytime group and she was so appreciated for her warm delivery
that it was most appropriate that she be the first evening
speaker. This was an excellent beginning for a group that was
most aware of their feelings of being new!
For these newcomers kindness, warmth and consideration are
a part of the reaching out process. Our community needs to
make themselves even more aware that newcomers are very
much in our midst and help them feel truly welcome and a part
of our community.
The following begins the next 12-week-program for Shalom
Y’All day, night and socials:
Wed., Dec. 10 7:45 p.m.
At the opening reception.
