"I'm pretty impressed with what Neal has done," said Chaney. "If I hadn't known the screen review program I would have been overwhelmed." Freeling said he loves his job. "It's very exciting to be able to help people use a tool that's really provided a second life for me," he said. There is a lot more to Freel- ing after he steps away from the computer, though. He was elected last October to his third three-year term on the board of trustees of the Jewish Braille Institute of America (JBI), an organization with which he has been involved since his childhood. The JBI was founded in 1931 and provides many free mate- rials and services for the blind and visually impaired, includ- ing Braille books and periodi- cals, recordings and counsel- ing. Freeling attends board meetings at JBI's office in New York City about three times a year at his own expense. He is working on a JBI committee to review the possibility of mak- ing the JBI's services accessi- ble by computer. The JBI's Braille version of theLikrat Sluxbbat has allowed Freeling to conduct services as a lay leader every six weeks at Cong. Beth Isaac. "It's fantastic that there's someone who can give me ac- cess to my heritage," said Freeling. "I want to be a re- sponsible Jew like anyone else." Freeling said even though he does not live in a Jewish area it has always been important for him to be involved in the Jewish community. He and his wife Miriam moved to Lincoln Park in 1982 because it was a short bus ride away from Pen- rickton Center. Earlier he had lived in Bir- mingham and had to take a SEMTA bus to Detroit to catch another to his Taylor work- place. "It got to be crazy," said Freeling. "Four hours on the bus each day was tough. "We like Lincoln Park. We don't feel that a place has to define who we are." ❑ Discrimination Compensated New York — After a nine- year effort spearheaded by the Baltimore chapter of the American Jewish Committee, the federal government has agreed to pay $185,000 to Jewish employees discrimi- nated against by the Social Se- curity Administration (SSA). The lawsuit against the gov- ernment charged anti- Semitism in the personnel practices of the SSA. The suit was initiated in 1978 by Robert Hyman, a Jewish GS-13 grade employee who had applied, un- successfully, for promotion to a GS-14 managerial level posi- tion on four separate occasions. Despite the appearance of his name on a "best qualified list" each time, Hyman was re- peatedly passed over for pro- motion. Zionism Upheld In Booklet New York — "Since the end of World War II in 1945, over 100 new states have gained political independence . . . Yet only one of the national libera- tion movements, Zionism, is continually singled out as being 'racist' and 'illegitimate . . .' There is a term to describe such unjust criticism, and that term is anti-Semitism." So asserts Rabbi A. James Rudin, director of interreli- gious affairs for the American Jewish Committee, in a book- let. released in January. N
