Leviton,
Shirley I.
president of the National
Council of Jewish Women,
will address the April 23
evening banquet of the
women's district convention
to be held April 20-24 at the
Hyatt Regency Hotel in
Dearborn.
Mrs. Leviton will speak
on "What Does a Woman
Want?" Theme of the con-
vention is "Looking Toward
Tomorrow."
Mrs. Leviton has been
active in NCJW for 30 years
and has been in leadership
positions since her election
to the national board in
1965.
She has held a variety
of national offices, from
assistant treasurer to
vice president of NCJW,
and has chaired numer-
ous national committees.
Among them are: Pro-
gram development, field
service and new perspec-
tives on volunteerism.
She also sits on the board
of NCJW's research insti-
tute in Israel. On the local
level, Mrs. Leviton is a
member and past-
president of the Penin-
sula (Long Island) Sec-
tion of NCJW.
She is a member of the
founders program of the Al-
bert Einstein College of
Medicine. Mrs. Leviton also

committee of the National

tions Advisory Council.

asked to speak to the
teacher. When the
teacher appeared before
the king, the sovereign
asked why the teacher
had forfeited his wealth
and honor by treating the
prince in so cruel a fash-
ion. The teacher re-
sponded: "I needed to
complete his education
so that he can be a good
king. Kings are judges
and mete out punish-
ments. However, kings
are usually so protected
they have no idea about
pain. They order a
thousand lashes for a
thief, not knowing what
these lashes feel like, not
knowing that two
hundred fifty lashes will
kill the man.
"Your son now knows
what it means to receive
lashes, to bleed. Therefore,
he will be able to judge
fairly and to give punish-
ment fairly. The king was
very pleased with this re-
sponse and awarded the
teacher even more trea-
sure."
The moral of this story is
that the rich people who
never knew what hunger is
treat the poor and hungry
people callously. They sim-
- ply do not understand the
pain of hunger and there-
fore cannot be compassion-
ate and fair.
Therefore, God instituted
Yom Kippur as a day of fast-
ing, so that even the rich
will know what it means to
be hungry and thirsty.
Through their personal
pain, they will be more
sympathetic to the poor.
A parable: A king wanted
his son to be educated so
that he would be able to
take over the kingdom. The
king hired a teacher who
taught the son all he needed
to know. When the king
tested his son, he was very
pleased and awarded the
teacher a tremendous sum
of money as well as signs of
honor.
The teacher said that he
needed just another short
while with the prince in
order to complete the lad's
education.
He took the son home, and
beat him severely until the
prince was bleeding. The
teacher then tied the son,
put him in a wagon, and
sent him to the king. When
the king saw the condition
of his son and learned what
the teacher had done, he or-
dered the teacher be
hanged.
First, however, he

JERUSALEM (ZINS) —
Political observers say the
death of Yigal Allon has left
Shimon Peres firmly in
command of the Labor
Party.
Minor opposition to Peres
has not diminished, the ob-
servers say, by the opposi-
tion has no real leader.
There is not enough support
for Yitzhak Rabin to fill
that role.
If you would convince a

right. Men will believe what

Among the honors which
she has received are a Doc-
tor of Humane Letters from
Beaver College, the Alumni
Association Golden Disc
Award "for distinguished
achievement" from Beaver,
the Hannah G. Solomon
Award from the Peninsula
Section of NCJW, and tes-
timonials from United
Jewish Appeal and the
United Way.
Among the topics to be
discussed at the confer-
ence, to be hosted by the
Greater Detroit Section,
whose president is Phyl-
lis Welling, is upgrading
volunteer status by the
use of a "work contract."
Working together, volun-
teers and professionals out-
line job requirements; the
volunteers sign up for a
specific number of work
hours and a specified task.
Later, the volunteer's per-
formance is evaluated much
as a paid employee's efforts
are judged. NCJW is explor-
ing the work contract as a
means of retaining and re-
cruiting volunteers.
