Mastercharge and BankAmericard By BEN GALLOB (Copyright 1977, JTA, hic.) Some of the many tiny Jewish communities which "dot the map" of the United States have been sustained in their struggle to stay viable by cooperative pro- grams with Jews at nearby military bases. according to a National Jewish Welfare Board official. - Mrs. Diana B. Coran. director of the JWB Women's Organizations' Services. reported on the development in a recent issue of the_ JWB pub- lication. the Circle. declar- ing that "where Jewish civilian and military corn- munities exist near each other, they have discovered that pooling resources' AMERICAN PROTECTIVE ALARMS, INC.

Reporting on a recent sur- vey of such programs. Mrs. Coran said there was no fixed pattern for such joint efforts. In a few cases, she reported. the two Jewish groups have come together to form a single community. That is what happened with the Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota. which has a Jewish population of between 20 and 25, and the Jewish popu- lation of the same size in Rapid City, 15 miles from the base. Together the small Jew- ish groups have organized a "Synagqgue of the Hills." They hold bi-monthly serv- ices at the base chapel. For major holidays. they gather either at the chapel or at one of the homes of the Rapid City Jews. The base provides space for services. some holiday foods and funds for a visit by a rabbi. Usually, a student rabbi is hired for the High Holy Days. A somewhat different for- mat is involved in the coop--, erative effort between the Jews at the Minot Air Force Base and Minot's Conserva- tive Temple Beth Israel in North Dakota. There are between 65 and 75 Jews in each group. High Holy Day services are conducted at the synagogue with the Jew- ish families on the base attending. Sabbath evening services are alternated bi- -weekly between the syna- gogue and the base chapel. The Jewish women of Minot take care of the oneg Shabat. The civilian and military communities support an active Bnai Brith chapter and there is also an active Hadassah chapter. Teen- agers belong to the Minot chapter of the Bnai Brith Youth Organization, Mrs. Coran said. , good times, good food, good friends come enjoy life with us at . ■ •• • CLUB AP NTS an adult community 28301 Franklin Road, Southfield, Michigan Now accepting reservations Included in one monthly payment . . .

They join with the 30 Jewish families .in Abilene who belong to Temple Mizpah. What is even more impor- tant. Mrs. Coran said. is that members of the mili- tary bases "lend their skills - to enrich the Jewish life of all those who take part. A military officer serves as - cantor and conducts Sab- bath and holiday services." A wife of a Jew in military service teaches in the joint Sunday school.

There is a syna- gogue in San Angelo but no rabbi. The military partici- pate in holiday events and services in the synagogue. The civilian Jews fund the activities and the Jewish service personnel provide the manpower. They solved the problem by moving their memorial plaques to the fort chapel and have since been partici- pating in all Jewish reli- gious activities at the base. Members of the civilian community contribute funds and services to the chapel program. A cooperative program, with many more Jews and a full-time Jewish chaplain is that of Keesler Air Force Base and the Jewish corn- Munity or Biloxi. Miss. The religious school is a joint project. Members of the base partidipate in pro- grams of the United Jewish Appeal and the National Council of Jewish- Women.
