Following more than 12 hours of Allocations hear ings, at the Sept. 14 meeting of its Board, Ron Katz, Presi dent of the Charlotte Jewish Federation and, with Bobbi Bernstein, one of the 1987 Campaign OveraU Chairs an nounced, “We have every right to be proud of what Charlotte has accomplished Herzog Appointed Business Manager Regrina Herzog Barry Hantman, Executive Director of the Foundation of the Charlotte Jewish Com munity, Inc. and the Jewish Conmiunity Center, is pleased to announce the appointment of Regina Herzog to Business Manager of the Foundation of the Charlotte Jewish Com munity, the Charlotte Jewish Federation and the Jewish Community Center.

We must now show that pride by supporting the quality of the programs we have made possible. “Moreover,” he continued, “we must do it without reduc ing the level of our support and concerns for all the Jewish causes we have been support ing in this community, this state, this country and in Israel.” “Everyone asked to contri bute has the right to ask in return, ‘How will I and my family benefit?’ ” said Marvin Bienstock, Federation Execu tive Director. Bienstock says the answer to that question is obvious just by looking at the local dollars spent on the quality of Jewish life in Charlotte. He cites the almost $180 dollars per membership family the JCC will receive when the cam paign makes goal. And, he notes that the $140,000 which is needed to support the maintenance of Shalom Park facilities would have to be ab sorbed and paid by the par ticipating institutions if not for the Federation Campaign. The institutions would have to raise those dollars from their membership, he notes. Rabbi Leonid Feldman photo/Roslyn Dickens Gifts of $500-h Cited for Their Importance Men’s Campaign Cochairs, Harry Lerner and Simon Estroff, will be emphasizing the importance of gifts begin ning at $500 through $5000. They point out that in other communities the size of Charlotte’s Jewish population raising over $1.2 million, and this level of giving represents 40% of the campaign income. Charlotte has a long way to go to equal that percentage, say Lerner and Estroff. But, they feel it can be accomplished by giving donors at these ranges the recognition they deserve. As a result, the community can look forward to events Shalom Y*all Establishes Weekly Newcomers *Lunch Bunch’ In response to the needs and requests of newcomers, Sandra Weinstein has announced the creation of a weekly group for Newcomers. Meeting every Tuesday at Shalom Pfirk, the group shares lunch while learning all about Charlotte. Babysitting is available through the JCC. Any newcomer may participate at any time by simply attending and bringing a salad lunch. Lunch is also available from the snack bar. “The definition of ‘Newcomer’ is very open,” says Weinstein. “It may be someone brand new to the community or someone who has lived here for months or even years but has not been as involved as they would now like to be in the Jewish com munity. We also welcome people who are involved £ind who want to extend themselves and meet the ’newcomers’.” The Newcomers Lunch Bunch is a function of Shalom Y’all, a committee of the Women’s Division of the Charlotte Jewish Federation and the JCC. Staff for the program is Ms. Jackie Fishman, Adult Program Director of the JCC. The Newcomers will be holding a Break-the-Fast at the Ran dolph Park Apts. Club House. For information call 366-5007. “We have designed 12 weeks of programs,” says Ms. Weins tein. “Anyone can start at any time and continue with the group as long as they want. Our purpose is to help newcomers meet and make friends and move on into the organizations and in stitutions of our Jewish community.” The topics for the 12 weeks are: See SHALOM Y’ALL page 12 In The News Organizations 16-17 Recipes 19 Social Services 3 Temples 1^ This 'n That 8 World Beat ^ Bess Myerson geared to provide such recog nition and honor. Exciting Events to Punctuate Men’s and Women's Division Drives Appearances by Bess Myer son and Leonid Feldman will spotlight the campaign. Ms. Myerson, the only Jewish Miss America, is well known as a government leader and consumer advocate. Leonid Feldman is the first of the Russian immigrants to this country to have become a Rab bi. He achieved that distinc tion last spring. Rabbi Feldman’s personal story and account of the Jews still re maining in Russia is a stirring example of oral history in the making. Ms. Myerson met with the Pacesetters (gifts of $1000 +) of the Women’s Division on Sept. 29 at the home of Bobbi Bernstein. The evening paid special tribute to those women who have earned their Lion of Judah pins signifying a cam paign contribution of $5000 or more. Rabbi Feldman will be in Charlotte on Sunday, Nov. 2 and will be speaking on behalf of both the Men’s and Wo men’s Divisions. The Goal Can and Will Be Reached Meetings among the Cam paign leadership and workers have all brought the same sense of positive purpose and commitment. They are all agreed that the $1,255 million is achievable and absolutely necessary. They cite, with pride, the $6 million raised for Shalom Park, Phase I and they remember the questions when that goal was set. They know how resounding ly the community answered those questions and they know that it will resonate even louder in response to the need for making the programs and services as outstanding as the bricks and mortar.
