The Charlotte Jewish News - December, 1997 - Page 9 temple Israel News Temple Israel Book Club He, She And It by Marge Piercy Monday, December 8 7:45 PM There’s breathtaking excitement in Marge Piercy’s He, She and It. Temple Israel’s December 8 book club meeting selection. Set in the New England town of Tikva in the middle of the twenty-first century this adventure tale of humans and a golem-like cyborg makes for stimulating, thought provoking reading. He, She and It may be ordered from local book stores for $12 ($6 for a smaller print edition) and is available at the public and Speizman Libraries. Temple Israel’s book club meetings are open to all members of the Jewish community. ‘Drop ins” are invited. Even if you don’t read the book prior to the December 8th meeting, come anyway for an evening’s lively discussion! For additional information — or to suggest books — call Linda Levy (h) 366-6362 (w) 598-7657 or Micki Schifman (364-0041). Luski Concert a bullseye.... Again!! A wonderful evening of Jewish music was offered by singers Robert Abelson and Phyllis Berk, assisted ably by Joyce Rosenzweig at the piano. The opening number was a beautiful duet “Do You Love Me”, from Fiddler on the Roof. Ms. Berk communicated deep emotional involvement in every song. For most of the Yiddish songs, she >aIso sang an English version, gpmetimes one she had translated herself. In her performance and somewhat in her appearance, she reminded this listener of Mary Travers (from Peter, Paul and Mary) conveying a broad Sf)ectrum of emotions. Cantor Abelson used his operatic voice to great effort in songs ranging from cantorial to folk to the title song of Man of La Mancha. Both singers had great rapport with the audience, and both were sensitively accompanied by Ms. Rosenzweig. Temple Israel and the community at large is grateful to the Luski families for their continuing generosity in sponsoring these concerts.

O feeding over 300 men at the Emergency Men’s Shelter. On December 24, Christmas Eve, we will be taking our volunteers uptown to feed a wonderful hot meal to those who truly need our help. We need volunteers to help serve, as well as any FOOD contributions you may be able to make. Gloria would love to add your name to the list. Call her at 365-8118. The Social Action Committee would like to thank all persons and families who have helped throughout the year. Without our volunteers, we would not be able to make our community a better place to live. We would love to have more people involved in any way they can. We always need people, supplies and most of all contributions to help fund our projects. This Winter season, we have increased our commitment to the community, therefore, we need additional contributions to help us feed more, house more homeless, and do more. Don’t forget, the Temple has a Social Action Fund for those of you making contributions in honor/memory of someone. Giving to this fund will further help the mitzvah of helping others. Have you ever thought about projects you would like to see the Social Action Committee involved in? Got some ideas? We’d love to have you join us. We are always looking for volunteers to help plan and participate in our projects. If you are interested, just call Eric Platock at 364-8513 and we promise to put you to WORK!! « Mo STLY M-OZARjr Peter McCoppin, conducting Eugene Kavadio, clarinet Drucilla DeVan, clarinet Allan Rosenfeld, clarinet Charming, intimate concerts featuring soloists from the Charlotte Symphony.
