Join CONGREGATION B'NAI DAVID B'nai B'rith for a Holiday Bowling Carnival MEN'S CLUB C bM i ntk ly that it owes something, at least symbolically, to the vic- tims of Nazism. But it is democratic West Germany where the small Jewish community has been under constant pressure to "justify" its existence. The Jenninger affair was only the latest example of events forcing Jews and non- Jews to ponder what is wide- ly seen as a community lack- ing both self-confidence and faith in the future. Jews live in this country, but they wonder if they are here to stay. They have been given to calling themselves "Jews in Germany" rather than "German Jews:' They live in 65 communities, the largest in West Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Ham- burg, Duesseldorf and Col- ogne. Many of these Jews are elderly. There seems to be no middle generation, but a young generation is rising. The days when Jews lived with their bags packed, ready to flee at the first hint of renascent anti-Semitism, are past. There is no lack of Jewish vitality in the Federal Republic. There are institu- tions like the Central Jewish Relief Agency, the Jewish Womens' League, B'nai B'rith chapters and a Jewish students' association. They have been around for a long time. The young, who refer to themselves as German Jews, play an active role in social and political life. In late 1985, they were able to prevent the performance of a play, "The Garbage, The City and Death" by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, which many Jews and non-Jews considered anti- Semitic. They also keep a wat- chful eye on anti-Semitic remarks of the extreme right and extreme left. Last spring, the Central Council was shaken by a ma- jor scandal when its deceased chairman, the late Werner Nachmann, was exposed as an embezzler of reparations funds. His successor, Galin- ski, seems to have gotten the organization back under con- trol. But the Jenninger affair set the stage for new disputes over how to present Jewish concerns to the general public. Galinski commands center stage. Almost daily he is on radio or television with corn- ments and warnings on Jewish affairs. He has ir- ritated some of his colleagues on the Central Council. *k14- 2KTY Ca and to be held Sunday, December 25 MAGICAL•MATT•JACOBSON Drakeshire Lanes —MAGICIAN— Sunday, December 11th 2:00 p.m. —LIGHT LUNCH— , Children 12 years old or younger — $2.00 —TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR— Congregation B'nai David 24350 Southfield Road, Southfield Adults $3.00 per person 35000 GRAND RIVER FARMINGTON HILLS • Game Prizes • • • • • Door Prizes Caricatures Balloons Clown T-Shirts OPITAFERITH T pfl Two Sessions: 1:00 P.M. and 5:00 P.M. \ ' (free to kids under 13) ;WEI: $7.50 per person INCLUDES: 3 games of play, lunch (1st Session) or supper (2nd Session), bowling shoes. $5.00 per person INCLUDES: 3 games of play & bowling shoes. 9.35% CO CHAIRMEN: Mark Sperling & Mark Klinger - YOUR HOSTS AT DRAKESHIRE: CERTIFICATES *Current return on 10 year C.D.'s available through Roney & Co.
