background."
The '70s marked a major
division achievement. For the
first time its Allied Jewish
Campaign goal of $100,000
was realized. The liaison pro-
gram, in which Division
members sit on agency
boards, continued to grow. Ed-
ward Lumberg, president
from 1974 to 1975, saw the
education component expand.
Where previously fund rais-
ing was the primary focus,
now it became "an adjunct to
education." "We wanted to ex-
pose as many (members) as
possible to their Jewishness,
" Lumberg, a wholesale
jeweler, recalled.
As the decade changed
again, the division was
reborn as the Young Adult
Division, and it launched a
series of outreach events to in-
volve the unaffiliated. It also
merged its men's and
women's Allied Jewish Cam-
paign drives. Benjamin
Rosenthal, who directed YAD
from 1980 to 1981, said
education was again a top
priority of the division. A lec-
ture series was instituted,
and the group undertook an
oral history project. Rosen-
thal, an electrical company
executive, warmly recalled
his presidency. "It was a tar-
fling point in my life. It
refocused the Jewish identity
that was always there."
When Dennis Bernard ac-
cepted the president's gavel
from Norman Beitner at the
organization's 50th annual
meeting he encouraged the
membership to "take advan-
tage of what 50 years of what
Junior Division has brought
to us," and gave them a
charge: "Let's keep the legacy
of this thriving community
alive."

Let's talk
about it.
DR. RON RICE
PSYCHOLOGIST-
MIDLIFE CRISIS
It is important to recognize a
"midlife crisis" when it is happen-
ing. Otherwise, one spouse may
feel personally attacked or ignored
in their partner's behavior, not
understanding the pain and confu-
sion that the loved one is feeling,
and not able to help.
The major feelings surrounding
a midlife crisis are fear that one is
aging, confusion about life's pur-
pose, and pain about miss oppor-
tunities. There is an awareness of
one's mortality and a sense of
urgency about not letting life slip
by. When a person is not able to
deal with these emotions, express
them, or reach out for support,
desperate actions may be taken.
A spouse going through this dif-
ficult stage needs support. This is
different from judgment, criticism
or control. He or she needs to feel
understood and taken seriously.
Reacting defensively only makes
matters worse. Marital counseling
can be helpful with this life stage.
The result can often be a clarifica-
tion of values and priorities that
enables couples to regain a sense
of direction together.
If you think we can be of help,

New York — The U.S.
Justice Department has re-
quested the assistance of the
World Jewish Congress in
seeking the whereabouts of a
family known to have surviv-
ed Nazi atrocities in the town
of Bystrzyca during World
War II. The name of the fami-
ly is Chodosz.
The testimony of this fami-
ly could be of key importance

war. Individuals with any in-
formation that could assist in
the location of this family are
