Now that the Temple is just a stroll up the hill, for the first time all the children, includ ing the two-year-olds, got to participate in this event. On Oct, 8, the Monday through Friday and Tuesday/ Thursday twos set out on the big adventure. They got to sit in the front rows of the Temple’s main sanctuary while Rabbi White talked about Sukkot. He showed them all a real lulav and etrog and then the children got to shake! shake! shake! their very own newspaper lulav up and down and side to side, making a sound like the wind rustling through ripe corn.

There has been growth in both membership and programming. This is reflected in our Religious School where Temple youth education enroll ment is at a high. The Novem ber calendar is full with a Bar or Bat Mitzvah every week end. Canned foods were collected in a joint effort with Temple Israel’s Religious School to benefit Charlotteans in need. Holiday services were especially meaningful this year and the Yom Kippur Break-the-Fast, hosted by the Brotherhood and Sisterhood, was very successful due to the efforts of Grace Levitt and her committee.

Millie Canterbury helps her class hang decorations at Temple Israel’s Sukka. Rabbi White took a Torah scroll from the Ark and unrolled it. Then he had the children come up to the Bimah and lifted each one so that they all could get a good look at the Torah. After, it was out to the Sukka where the children hung the paper fruit and vegetables they made, with a little help from their teachers and parents. Tem ple Israel’s Sisterhood provided a taste of Sukkot with snacks of mixed dried fruit and yummy carrot muffins, Friday’s event with the rest of the preschool was similar. The Sukkot and Shabbat programs were combined. Blessings for the candles, bread and wine were said before snack and then the children hung their art work in the Sukka, The “big kids,” three to five year olds, took great pride in their decorations and had definite opinions as to where and how they should be hung. We all said a big thank you and set off down the hill back to school. There were several other events that took place in Octo ber; a visit from the Taradiddle Players and an all time favorite “Bagels and Blocks.” Post Confirmation Class Initiates a Community Relations Task Force By Sue Brodsky j SCHOO/ The Post Con- firmation a Class of the Consolidated § ^ High School \ ^ of Jewish Stu- °o, \j dies has spear- ^charlo^ headed a move ment to begin documentation of disturbing incidents regarding the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school system’s handling of Jewish holiday observances and other related incidents. The movement began last spring when Rev, George Battle, chair person of the Charlotte-Meck lenburg School Board held a dialogue with our post confirma tion students. At that meeting the students relayed several incidents which had taken place at the schools, such as prayer in the schools. Young Life, testing on Jewish holidays, and anti- Semitism on the part of some students and teachers. Rev. Battle invited the students to put their concerns in the form of a letter to him. When no answer was received to the students’ letter, the CHS Advisory Board, an adult board which oversees the CHS, wrote a letter as a follow-up. It requested that the teachers of Charlotte-Mecklen burg be reminded about correct coding of absences for religious holidays and to refrain from testing on those days. While the CHS Advisory Board awaited an answer to its letter, the Post Confirmation class reconvened for the 1992- 93 session. The students had a new crop of problems, concern ing these same issues. A Com munity Relations Task Force was appointed made up of members of the Post Confirma tion class. The task force members were to begin docu mentation of the issues. Alan Kronovet, chair of the Commu nity Relations Council of the Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte, and Daniel Lepow, director of the Jewish Federa tion of Greater Charlotte, were contacted. They called and wrote letters to the proper authorities in the school system. As a result of the combined efforts of the Jewish Federation and the CHS Advisory Board and students, a communique to teachers went out just before Rosh Hashanah which ad dressed these issues. On October 8, the Post Con firmation Class Community Relations Task Force met with Alan Kronovet, Daniel Lepow, and Rabbi Scott White to dis cuss the students’ concerns and to begin planning long term strategy and to identify specific issues to pursue, Meml^rs of the community are asked to direct their suggestions, comments and ideas on these matters to the Community Relations Council through the Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte office at Shalom Park. Students and parents should keep a log of incidents that are occurring in their schools. When the inci dents are written down and passed on to this group, they can begin to look for patterns involv ing certain teachers and certain schools. The Community Rela tions Council of the Jewish Federation will pass your com ments and ideas to the Post Confirmation Task Force, and together these groups will begin taking action on these issues. Basketball League Registration is now open for the 9th Annual Bryan Adrian Winter Basketball League. Boys and girls ages 5-17 are eligible.
