THE JEWELRY APPRAISALS Linking Jews, aim of service BY HEIDI PRESS Local News Editor Barry Simon says the most unusual address he has listed in his pen pal service is that of Jewtown, Cochin, Kerala State, India, and belongs to a member of the Bene Israel (East Indian Jews). Simon is the founder and operator of International Jewish Correspondence, a pen pal service he started in 1978. Housed in the offices of the Canadian Jewish Con- gress, the IJC has about 5,000 members, from age 5 to 80. The Montreal-based Simon was in Detroit last week to gather names and addresses for his club. There are no dues or fees, and members are responsible for their own postage. The CJC gives him office space in which to operate. The 41-year-old, ninth grade math teacher is on a promotional tour to large and small Jewish com- munities "letting people know about the service so they can participate. The more people who partici- pate, the better the service becomes," he said. Simon's service is limited to Jews. "It is the only at- tempt like this to link Dias- pora Jewry to itself, so to speak," he said. Most of the correspon- dents write in English, but some write in other lan- guages. Writrs from more than 20 countries partici- pate, with the largest number coming from Canada, Israel, the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Included among the addresses he has compiled are newspapers, synagogues and Jewish community centers. To participate in the pen pal service, a registration form must be completed. When the form is returned to Simon, he sends the names and addresses of at least two persons from countries the registrant has requested on the form. What are his goals for the project? "I'd like more ad- dresses from both Western and Eastern Europe." Ultimately, he would like his service to become a proj- ect of the World Jewish Congress since it is interna- tional in scope. For a registration form, write Simon at Interna- tional Jewish Corre- spondence, 1590 Doctor Penfield Ave., Montreal, Que., Canada H3G 105. 1030 WOODWARD HOTS. 000.4t est. 1919 LAWRENCE M.
