On September 19, at the
home of Meg Goldstein, the
Women’s Division sponsored a
Lion of Judah luncheon. This
luncheon gave these major
contributors an opportunity to
have input in the 1989 Cam
paign.
The Lion of Judah was first
introduced in 1972 in the
Miami, Florida Women’s Divi
sion Campaign. Women who
contribute $5,000 or more to
the Women’s Campaign are
given a diamond-inset 14-karat
gold pin, resembling the face
of a lion.
Charlotte is proud to an
nounce these new lions: Lee
Blumenthal, Meg Goldstein
and Emily Zimmem. They join
Anita Blumenthal, Bobbi Bern
stein, Renee Gorelick, Pearl
Kier, Gloria Lerner, Lynn
Lerner Edelstein and Sandra
Levine with their personal
commitment of $5,000 or more
to the Charlotte Jewish
Federation. We applaud each
one of these ladies for their
role of leadership in the Chsir-
lotte community.

Kurt Waldheim, and stated
that we must keep the mem
ory of the Holocaust alive or
it could happen again.
Morris Abram spoke in
depth about Israel, its leaders
and the occupied territories.
He stressed the importance of
support for Israel and how im
portant Israel is to the United
States as its ally in the Mid
east. Mr. Abram expressed
concern over our upcoming
elections and our future na
tional leaders’ relationships
with Israel.
The recurring theme of the
evening was that all of us
must continue to take an ac
tive role in supporting Israel
and Jews in other countries.
Our efforts should never stop.
After their talks, both
speakers answered numerous
questions from the audience.
The credentials and experi
ences of both presentors were
such that aU who attehded had
a very informative and special
evening.
Special thanks to our “host
esses” for the evening, San
dra Weinstein and Rosalind
Taranto, who helped serve din
ner and refreshments during
the bus ride.

Each month a member(s) of our Cabinet will be profiled in
The CJN.
Rosanne Zinn
is on the Public Relations/
Communications Committee
of UJA.
Active in AIPAC and V.P.
of the Peach PAC, Georgia
Citizens for Good Govern
ment, she was actively in
volved in the recent election of
Senator Wyche Fowler.
Since 1974 when she went to
Israel on a Young Leadership
Mission, there have been
numerous visits to Israel with
her Israeli husband, and with
national Women’s Division
Missions. She has served on
the State of Georgia Holo
caust Commission since 1986.
She has also visited Prague,
Poland and wiU be in Romania
this fall. Interested in helping
young people to study in
Israel, she serves on the
Scholarship Committee of the
Tel Aviv University Overseas
Student Program.
Her knowledge and concern
for her feUow Jews in the U.S.,
in Israel and in Europe, es
pecially behind the Iron Cur
tain, made her presentation a
treat for those attending this
special luncheon.
Sara Schreibman —
1990 Women’s Campaign Chair
Sara began working for and
supporting Federation in Bir
mingham, Alabama — a direct
result of having her dearest
friend living in Israel for four
years and married to an Is
raeli. According to Sara, “She
educated me, got me involved
and shared her experiences
with me, firsthand. My path
took a new direction.”
Sara was born in Mont
gomery, Alabama, the eldest
of three daughters. Their for
mative years revolved around
a small Sephardic community
whose members were family
and part of the larger Jewish
community of Montgomery.
She is well aware of dealing
with anti-Semitism and prob
lems associated with integra
tion in the deep south.
In Birmingham, while teach
ing at the newly formed Jew
ish Day School and assisting
with a community campaign
to build a new facility for the
school, she learned the impor
tance of Jewish education.
Sara moved to Charlotte, as a
single parent, without employ
ment, and found herself on the
receiving end. The Charlotte
Jewish community took care
of her and her son Mark and
Sara Schreibman
made them a part of the com
munity. After she and Mike
were married, with his intense
interest in the Middle East
and her Birmingham experi
ence, they moved toward in
volvement in the Charlotte
Jewish Federation. She worked
for 5V2 years as a professional
staff member in programming
at the JCC. Sara worked for
the Foundation for 2 years
during its formative time and
beginning of construction of
Shalom Park.
In 1983, on a Young Leader
ship Mission to Israel, Sjira
was “hooked” forever. All that
Federation does touches Sara,
through family, friends or
through being a Jew. For
these reasons, she feels that
volunteering for CJF is one of
the most important things she
does.
