The Charlotte Jewish News - December, 1995 - Page 13 mm Of Greater Charijotte JFGC OS! Of Greater Charixttte JFGC nra Of Greater Q iarlotte Pre-Season Social For Solicitors Very Successful Bill Gorelick and Jill Newman hosted a Federation Solicitor Team “pre-season social” on November 1st. The event was held at Bill Gorelick’s home and many of the solicitors for the 1996 Federation Annual campaign were present to smooze and talk informally about the upcoming drive. Bill Gorelick said the event “provided solicitor’s with an opportunity to get to know one another a little better and build the team for the upcoming fund rais ing campaign.” He stressed the importance of the solicitors role in representing the Federation and all the people in the community that Federation dollars help supp)ort. He said “fund raising for the annual campaign is more than asking for money. Asking for a pledge is helping others to fulfill the mitzvah of Tzedakah.” UPTOWNERS TO EXPLORE “NEW” RUSSIAN RESETTLEMENT PROGRAM The Jewish Federation Uptowners next meeting will fo cus on the “new” Russian resettle ment program.

UJA Mourns The Tragic Loss Of Yitzhak Rabin The UJA family is greatly saddened by the loss of its stead fast friend, the late Prime Minis ter Yitzhak Rabin, of blessed memory. His unyielding support of the UJA and its mission will continue to give us strength well beyond these very trying days. Less than two weeks ago, at the UJA International Leadership Reunion, which was Mr. Rabin’s last public appearance in the United States, he presented Presi dent Bill Clinton the Isaiah Award for Mr. Clinton’s efforts to ‘"‘has ten the prophet Isaiah’s vision of peace for all people.” As it has been noted repeatedly over the last few days, these are words that could have easily been said about Mr. Rabin himself. And it was on this stage that Mr. Rabin rein forced his long-held belief that the partnership between Diaspora Jewry and Israelis at the very cen ter of the revitalization of Jewish life around the world. It is a belief we share and will strive to em body, as Mr. Rabin did. Our only grace during a very difficult period of mourning is the hope that this overwhelming sad ness will move all American Jews to reach out to the vast majority of Israelis who share Mr. Rabin’s vision for the future of Israel and Diaspora Jewry. That this great tragedy will strengthen our re solve to ensure that the Jewish people will flourish as one. Richard L. Pearlstone, National Chairman Joel D. Tauber, President Rabbi Brian L.
