Hundreds of images — of Jewish communities living and dying in what was once the heartland of world Jewish scholarship and cul- ture — crowd into Larry Jackier'seind when he re- calls a recent "mission of light" to Romania and Hun- gary. Jackier, national chair- man of the United Jewish Appeal Young Leadership Cabinet, was joined by 12 other YLC leaders, includ- ing fellow Detroiters Stan- ley Frankel, former chair- man, and Joel Gershenson. For Jackier and Frankel, it was their second trip to Romania. From the start of the mis- sion, when they joined Romania's Chief Rabbi Moses Rosen on his annual Hanuka "marathon" to 32 communities, the young Americans were struck by the irony and pathos of Jewish life in Eastern Europe. The special nature of their trip was pointed up in the fact that the 13 YLC leaders were the first such group to visit the organized Jewish com- munity of Hungary since the Joint Distribution Committee began operat- ing openly there last year after an absence of 25 years. The Americans were sad- dened to observe the gradual demise of Roma- nian Jewry despite valiant attempts to maintain Jewish life. "If there were children in the town," said Jackier, "they would sing, light the Hanuka candles and receive gifts. Everyone who could walk would be there, wait- ing for our — for Rabbi Ro- sen's — arrival. The haunt- ing faces and images in cold, unheated synagogues . . . I will never forget them." At one kosher canteen, in Botosani, the Detroiters learned that it is, indeed, a small world. "A man in his early 60s sitting next to me asked, in halting English, where I was from. When I sadi Detroit, his face lit up. He turned out to be a first cousin of Max Shaye," former Allied Jewish Cam- paign general chairman. Hungary was "totally different," said Jackier. In Budapest, where some 80 percent of Hungary's 100,000 Jews live, there is no Rabbi Rosen to smooth .....••••• ■•■■• 53—ENTERTAINMENT 20% OFF ALL WEDDING & BAR MITZVAH INVITATIONS THE PRINT HOUSE Lincoln ?Center Oak Park 968-4040 PAINTING (interior-Exterior) WALLPAPERING & REMOVING COMPLETE HOME CLEAN-UP Free Estimates.

Nevertheless, a rela- tionship is evolving, evi- denced by the welcome re- turn of the Joint Distribu- tion Committee and its funding of kosher restau- rants, two old age homes and a hospital.
