Friday, July 13, 1979 21 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS New York Jewish Museum Exhibits Detroiter Kushner's Synagogue Models VISIT . NEW YORK — Detroiter Aid Kushner will exhibit a series of 10 miniature synagogues at the Union of Caricatures for your party By SAM FIELD Call 399-1320 American Hebrew Congre- gations' House of Living Judaism through Sept. 6. Most of Kushner's rep- licas were inspired by the history and architecture of synagogues in the United States. Those on exhibit and the dates when they were first built are: the Mill Street Synagogue, 1730, New York; the Mikveh - Israel - Emanuel Synagogue, 1732, Curacao, West Indies; Touro Synagogue, 1763, Newport, R.I.; Mikveh Is- rael Synagogue, 1825, Charleston, S. C.; Plum Street Temple, 1866, Cin- cinnati, Ohio; Beth Israel Synagogue, 1860, Portland, Ore.; Gates of Heaven Synagogue, 1863, Madison, Wis.; Central Synagogue, 1880, New York; and Bnai Sholom Temple Israel, 1914, Chicago, Ill. Kushner was first in- spired to do the minia- tures when he decided — while recovering from illness in 1970 — to make replicas of all the build- ings which had housed Temple Beth El in Detroit since 1850. Using the skills he had developed as a sign painter and in building model rail- roads, the craftsman worked in lightweight wood with an ordinary utility knife. Sponges, furnace fil- ters, cardboard, wrapping paper, playing cards and costume jewelry are also used. In all of the 50 model synagogues that Kushner has made to date he has used photographs from the American Jewish Historical Society for authenticity. Kushner's artistic efforts also include custom letter- ing and shadow-box type pictures along with models of many American histori- cal buildings. He was re- cently elected president of the Brotherhood of Temple Beth El.

Event in Colorado DENVER (JTA) — Ku Klux Klansmen picketed a meeting last week of the Colorado Zionist Federation (CZF). Twelve klansmen showed up at the group's election dinner at which Rep. Pat Schroeder (D-Col.) was scheduled to be the keynote speaker. Schroeder, noted for her pro-Israel stance, was supposed to speak on "the Zionist challenge for the 80s," but responded to the klansmen's picketing of the meeting, instead. Georgi Jacobs, the execu- tive director of the CZF, said that the klansmen dis- rupted the Federation's dinner meeting by dis- tributing anti-Jewish liter- ature to spectators gathered to view the men in their full klan regalia. The klansmen also carried signs such as "Zionism equals Com- munism," and "Dump Is- rael, Pump Gas," Jacobs re- ported. The Denver Jewish com- munity, numbering about 25,000, has been plagued with anti-Jewish attacks during the last month. 60 0/0 HOURS: Mon., Thurs., Fri. 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tues., Wednesday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. ALL MAJOR CREDIT CARDS HONORED
