BBYO...
The second lecture of the
B’nai B’rith Lecture Series
will take place on February
14 at 8 p.m. at the Jewish
Community Center. Speak
ing will be Rebbetzin Esther
Jungreis who was born in
Hungary and is descended
from a great rabbinic dynas
ty that can trace its lineage
back to the days of King
David. Prior to the
Holocaust, there were
eighty-five rabbis bearing
the name “Jungreis” in
Hungary. Following World
War II only seven remained.
Having experienced the
Holocaust first hand as an
inmate of Bergen Belsen, the
Rebbetzin has determined to
devote her life to combatting
the spiritual holocaust that
we are witnessing here in the
United States: the alienation
of our youth, their defection
to missionary cults and the
drug culture.
For the past twenty years
Rebbetzin Jungreis has writ
ten a weekly column for the
Jewish Press, the largest
Anglo-Jewish weekly in the
world. She has also had her
own radio program, “Ask
the Rebbetzin,” which was
aired weekly on WEVD
Radio, and lectured widely
throughout the world.
In 1973, Mrs. Jungreis
founded “Hineni,” an inter
national movement to
awaken the Jewish People to
their heritage and inspire our
youth to return to their
roots.
By Jodi Mend
The recent BBYO Regional
Convention held in Winston-
Salem at the Hyatt House
had as its theme “Welcome
Back My Friends to the
Show That Never Ends.”
This is the only convention
that has representation from
both Virginia and North
Carolina.
Each night we had short
programs on different sub
jects: anti-Semitism, death,
summer BBYO camps, etc.
On Saturday night we had
processionals. This is when
the highest ranked officers
walk for a special ceremony
which is followed by “Life”
for the officers on regional
level. This continued on Sun
day night after the dance.
The band was so great that
they will play at the
Charlotte BBYO’s
S weetheart/Beau on
February 20.
Money was raised at the
convention for ISF by auc
tioning off people to the
chapters. BBG stickers, “I
Love BBYO” stickers and
Eastern Region buttons were
also sold. Over $600 was rais
ed.
Elected to office at the con

ding work has also been ac
corded recognition by the
government' of Israel. She

On the evening of
December 23, 1981, the back
of the JCC was vandalized.
According to the Police
Department, the vandals
were probably youths bet
ween the ages of 13 and 16.
The youths spray painted
in seven locations as well as
breaking a leg off an outdoor
table, breaking into the
storage shed and stealing
outdoor trash cans. They
also destroyed some summer
pool equipment and set fire
to a pool equipment storage
container.
Though the damage was
not extensive, certain costs
will have to be absorbed by
the Center. Anyone having
any information, is asked to
call Harold Cohen at the
JCC.
Should you pass the
Center and see something
suspicious, call the Police
and ask them to investigate.
It is our Center, so let’s keep
it safe.
