Over 30 Attend Shatom Y'all
By Helene Nathanson
On Nov. 13, Women's Divi
sion of Charlotte Jewish
Federation welcomed over 30
guests to another of its
popular Shalom Y’all parties.
This informal gathering was
hosted by Sharon and Bill
Sand.
New members of the Jewish
community were warmly
greeted and introduced to
Federation officers and
leaders. We were delighted to
meet the following new
Charlotteans:
Margie and Ben Liebstein mov
ed to Charlotte from
Sayreville, N.J. three months
ago. They have two children,
Jackie (14) and Michael Ul).
Ben, with Allegheny Interna
tional Exercise Co., was
transferred to its local office.
Although she still misses her
friends “up North,” Margie
says, “I’m liking Charlotte
more as I get to know more
people.”
Marty and Shelly Schneer,
originally from Brooklyn,
N.Y., moved here from Savan
nah, Ga. Marty is the Ex
ecutive Director of the JCC
and he has many new and in
teresting ideas for future “J”
programs.
wood and their three children,
Emma (8), Haya (6) and
Jonathan (3), recently moved
here from Jacksonville, FL.
Fania is giving cooking
lessons at the Charlotte Russe
with a specialty in French
cooking. Nathaniel is Director
of Social Services for Federa
tion, a job he has found to be
very stimulating. The Green-
wo^s are “glad to be in
Charlotte."
Susan and Richard Ett, defy
ing sociological trends, moved
here from San Francisco.
Richard, a former Navy
Lieutenant, is now employed
by Price Waterhouse. Susan
will be entering the job market
soon — after she masters the
intricacies of Charlotte's
roads.
Joanie Davis, friend and
neighbor of Susan, also mov
ed here recently. Joanie
graduated from UNC-CH with
a degree in Education and has
made a “pre-career" switch.
She is now studying Medic^
Record Technology at CPCC.
Shirley and Milton Fytelson
recently arrived from Union,
N. J. Milton, employed by San-
doz Colors & Chemicals, was
transferred to its Charlotte of
fice. The Fytelsons are still ad
justing to life here, but both
agree that Charlotte is lovely.
The guests were welcomed
by Sally Schrader, who, along
with Sharon Sand, chairs the
Shalom Y'all Conmdttee.
Ruth Goldberg, President of
Women’s Division, introduced
Marvin Bienstock, Executive
Director of Federation and
Foundation, who briefly
described Federation services
and gave an update on the
Foundation. Marvin said,
“The Charlotte Jewish Com
munity is characterized by
organizations that enjoy talk
ing to each other and working
together.”
Nathaniel Greenwood,
Director of Social Services for
Federation, stated that cur
rently his office is focusing on
two outstanding needs in the
conununity: Services to older
people and services to those
needing jobs and help in career
development. Nathaniel said
that he hopes to expand Social
Services into areas of family
development.
Marty Schneer, Director of
the Jewish Community
Center, spoke about the new
building and said, “With the
expansion of facilities, we’re

looking for new people to get
involved with the ‘J’.”
Ron Katz, chairman of
Federation Men’s Campaign,
cited that last year the men
and women raised $770,000
which helped on the local scene
and in Israel. “We need your
money, but we also need your
involvement.”
Ellie Katz, cochairwoman of
Super Sunday, described the
day-long telephone campaign.
Some of the newcomers im
mediately volunteered to help
in that project.
Baila Pransky, chairwoman
of the Education Committee of
Women’s Division, spoke
about University Day at
UNCC. It was a very in
vigorating day because we
were able to merge into cam
pus life.”
Gail Beinstock, past Presi
dent of Women’s Division,
spoke about the Business and
Professional Division which
was formed by business
women who wanted to par
ticipate in the Jewish com
munity but were unable to at
tend daytime meetings. Gail
hopes that this group will be
a resource for personal and
professional networking.
Helene Nathanson, cochair
woman of Publicity, was in
troduced and welcomed as a
new participant in Women’s
Division.
Warm and lively discussions
about life in Charlotte were
followed by cake and coffee.
Everyone agreed it was a
special evening—seeing old
friends and making new ones.
