Mazon To Host
Fund-Raiser
Without Dinner
In Washington, fund raising
is a competitive, deadly
serious business.
But there are still idealists
working the fund-raising cir-
cuit, a fact demonstrated by
several activists who are get-
ting set to announce an in-
novative fund-raiser for
Mazon, the Jewish organiza-
tion devoted to feeding the
hungry.
And all the impetus for the
project has come entirely from
volunteers whose only connec-
tion to Mazon is their admira-
tion for its programs.
The idea came about several
months ago in a conversation
between Jonathan Kessler,
who works for the National
PAC, and Nancy Jacobson, a
longtime Democratic fund-
raiser and veteran of a
number of major campaigns.
"Nancy approached me
because she was interested in
a vehicle for combining her
Jewish concerns with more
general progressive concerns,"
said Kessler. "And for a long
time I have been interested in
finding ways to facilitate the
voluntary activities of Jewish
young professionals. We began
thinking about Mazon —
which we saw as the perfect
combination of progressive
values and Jewish values."
Kessler and Jacobson then
approached Mazon with their
offer. Early brainstorming ses-
sions emphasized both the
need to raise money and the
planners' interest in using the
event as a model for a new
volunteerism among young
Jewish professionals.
"What we came up with
was a 'dinner without din-
ner,' " Kessler said. "The idea
is fairly simple: it will be set
up as a formal dinner, but
with no drinks, no food.
People will sit at 100 set
tables, in this grand hall, and
it will be 'black tie optional.'
It will be a program of serious
consciousness raising."
To add to the impact, the
planners are carefully resear-
ching how much- food each
forgone dinner would pur-
chase for the poor.
The Mazon "dinner without
dinner" is scheduled for
Nov. 30.
Legislation
Divides Soviet
Jewry Movement
Even before the dust has
settled from the recent debate
within the Soviet Jewry move-
ment over a possible Jackson-
Vanik waiver for the Soviet
Union, an issue is brewing in
Congress that may entangle
the movement in new
controversies.
Several legislators are quiet-
ly working on the "Slepak
principles," named after
longtime refusenik Vladimir
Slepak.
The legislation, introduced
in the House by Reps. Larry
Smith, (D-Fla.), and John
Miller, (R-Wash.), and in the
Senate by John Heinz, (R-Pa.),
would add to the pressure on
the Soviet Union by
establishing a set of voluntary
principles for U.S. companies
The bill calls for American
companies to avoid providing
services benefiting the Soviet
military establishment, to
refrain from using goods pro-
duced by forced labor and to
safeguard Soviet employees
vulnerable to dismissal for
ethnic or religious reasons.
The principles also urge
American companies to avoid
loans not designated for
specific projects in the Soviet
Union.
But some Soviet Jewry ac-
tivists, while praising the
motives of the bill's authors,
worry that the measure could
obscure the movement's focus
on emigration and dilute the
effect of an expected waiver of
Jackson-Vanik trade restric-
tions against the Soviets.
"We can't keep imposing
new requirements on the
Soviets," said one leading
Soviet Jewry activist here.
According to several sources,
Soviet Jewry activists met
with the bill's authors in an
unsuccessful effort to put the
measure on hold.
"Talk of the `Slepak prin-
ciples' is not helpful at this
point," said Steve Silbiger,
Washington representative of
the American Jewish Con-
gress. "The undermining of
potential trade relationships
with the Soviets could have
ever negative consequences
for Soviet Jews."

NERVES, JUST NERVES...
"Your trouble is nerves, just nerves, that's all," many have been
told. But your nerves are too important to your body to be
dismissed so easily.
Nerves are the electrical system of the human body, and the spinal col-
umn is the "switchboard" controlling health.
In fact, every function taking place in your body is under the control of
the nerve system, often called "THE MASTER SYSTEM OF THE
HUMAN BODY"
DR. LEVINE
