Tlioughts From Adrienne By Adrienne Rosenberg JFS Director In March of this past year, I wrote my monthly article on the fact that we all needed to recognize that living under one roof at Shalom Park would take on ebbs and flows as we adjusted. To quote three paragraphs in that article I stated as follows: “Social Service and counsel ing agencies frequently work with the blended family today. This is a family that involves the marriage of two persons who already have children — his and hers. On paper it may seem to be a good idea; in reali ty it takes time for all the family members to adjust to each other. So it will be, too, when the entire Jewish com munity components will be blended under one roof. “As members of the com munity, we must remember that the expressions ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day’ and ‘No pain, no gain’ are applicable. None of us should be naive enough to assume that now being housed in one facility will conquer £ill; it will only be through effort, the process of living through the traditional period, and understanding that it will take two years before all is ‘normal’, that Shalom Park will be successful. “Personally, I am excited about being in Ch£irlotte at this time in the life of the com munity. But, we must not assume it will be easy for everyone, or that everyone shares my excitement. Some people will turn on to being part of a campus Jewish Center; others wiU back away. But, none of us should want to chemge the process or the questioning of reasons or the strong feelings that will occur. For if we halt the process, Charlotte’s Jewish community will not grow to its fullest potential.” For Advertising Call 366-9715 366-6632 366-5007 (ofc) IMPERIAL GARDEN CHINESE RESTAURANT -=iJ P 1^1 biU jSl 1=11 All Chefs From Hong Kong Serving Mo«t AutlMntle Chln>M Culsin* AUTNENTIC CANTONESE « tZECNUAN CUISINE « AMERICAN DISHES COMPLETE TAKE OUT SERVICE nuvATt FAimriK)oiio^T0«W0«J cTd I 333>9239 liii 310t E INDEPENOENCE MULEVARO (TWO BLOCKS EAST Of THE COLISEUM) ^11 '•I' Zii % f-S irl'j ALL ABC PERMITS jg, OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK ‘'ijj MON - THUMS 11 WAM - 10*>M Ir.ll % Ci’i •LUMCNION• LUNCHEON SKCIALS MOM - SAT 11 • DIMNBN • n« - SAT 11 30AM — 11M« SUN 1? 00 NOON - tO»»M Ten months later, it is ap parent that the impact of Shalom Park has not only caused stress and adjustment for the ten^ples, agencies, in stitutions and organizations, but has also strongly im pacted on the members of the Jewish comnriunity itself. There are those who have found the presence of Shalom Park an opportunity and have pleasantly found their “dreams” realized for everything Jewish under one roof. There are others who feel they would like to partake as a Jewish person in all Shalom Park offers as well as be part of a temple or synagogue but feel in a very short time “be ing Jewish is getting to be ex pensive.” And there are others, especially those who may have n^oved from larger communities, who found that there is pressure to live in a smdl community where every member counts and is invited to participate and to pay the cost of joining both financial ly and emotionally. All three of the above group ings have strong feelings about Shalom Park and what it represents to them emo tionally. All three are “right.” And all three groups need to be listened to and responded to by the major Foundation in stitutions. Hopefully, a balance can be achieved for all three groups whereby no one is turned off or away. The planning and opening of buildings was one phase for this community; the actual making it possible for every Jew to participate is a harder task.
