CAJE: Joel Grishaver
Will Lead Unique Programs
Joel Lurie Grishaver, na
tionally known Jewish educa
tional personality, will be in
Charlotte leading three unique
programs in our community
on Sunday, Nov. 6.
Joel is a professional car
toonist. You may not recog
nize his name, but his distinc
tive and humorous Jewish
drawings are very widely
known. He is an author of
numerous articles for popular
magazines such as Hadassah
and Shofar, and has written 22
books for children, used in
homes and religious schools
across the Carolinas. Joel is a
publisher, founder and Cre
ative Chairperson of Torah
Aura Productions in Los An
geles, purveyors of some of the
most creative Jewish educa
tional materials currently on
the market. In that capacity,
Joel created novel tools for
Jewish learning, including
“Torah Toons,” “Plain Wrap
Jewish Games,” “Instant
Lessons,” and the “Building
Jewish Life Series.” He is a
master teacher and is on the
faculty of the University of
Judaism in Los Angeles. Joel
is presently traveling the U.S.
on an innovative JWB grant,
developing children’s muse
ums in Jewish community cen
ters in major American cities.
We are delighted to be able to
host one of the most creative
“movers and shakers” on the
Jewish educational scene.
Three very different pro
grams, each with appeal for a
specific target audience, will
be led by Joel Grishaver.

ence Foundation, has been

gan as an alternate U.S.

(JTA) — Israeli Arabs are
benefitting from the unrest in
the territories. Before the up
rising, Israelis drove regular
ly to the West Bank and Gaza
Strip to shop for bargains.
Now they are going instead
to the Arab villages in Israel,
which are considered safe and
underseU Jewish vendors.

(JTA) — For 40 years Win
nipeg’s Jewish popidation was
stationary, with a population
in the neighborhood of 20,000.
The peak year was 1961. The
population now stands at just
under 14,500, with 27 percent

it needed to begin its quest of
the systematic annihilation of
the Jews.
No place where Jews lived
escaped the violence of that
November night...90 were killed;
30,000 were arrested. Homes
and businesses were looted.
Synagogues were destroyed.
Torahs were desecrated. With
this the Holocaust had begun.
As historical revisionists try
to negate the existence of the
Holocaust and as others sug
gest that it is time for world
Jewry to forget the Holocaust,
it becomes more incumbent
upon us to leam and remem
ber the tragic lesson of our
history. KristaUnacht should
be a haunting reminder to all
of us of the very tenuous posi
tion in which world Jewry re
mains.
It is important that we show
our solidarity by attending the
Kristalinacht commemora
tion.
If we do not remember, then
who will!!
