PRE-HOLIDAY WEEKEND SKI PACKAGE & THE EXCEPTIONAL MIDWEEK SPECIAL 5 39.95 Per person plus tax members marry and start families. "Within the last six weeks, we've had six engagements. And the ratio here is six men to every one woman." Because their congregation is in a city with numerous visitors, Kesher Israel members maintain a very ac- tive hospitality committee. "People call us from England, from California — you name it," says Ms. Frank. "If they're in Washington for a meeting or conference and they're observant, they call us." Sometimes the hospitality committee members welcome prominent visiting Jews not only to their synagogue but to their homes. Ruth Frank and her - husband once hosted Moshe Aumann, the Consul General of the Israel Em- bassy, who stayed overnight. Member Phil Levy remembers seeing Chaim Weitzmann and Moshe Dayan at Kesher Israel one Yom Kip- pur during the Camp David negotiations. Mr. Levy reminisces about this when he takes a break from helping customers select books. He's owner of the Bridge Street Bookstore at 2014 Penn- sylvania Avenue, where he often welcomes Jewish customers. Mr. Levy is from a third- generation Kesher Israel family — his grandfather was a founding member — and he recalls the days when there were many Jewish merchants in Georgetown, like his own father Samuel, now a realtor, who had a clothing store on M Street. His own store is more re- cent. He opened it 10 years ago, and he's still stocking it heavily with books of Jewish interest: books about politics, literature, history, philosophy, and about Jews in film. The latter is partly the influence of his brother David Levy, owner of the Key Theater on Wisconsin avenue, who has hosted several Jewish film festivals in Georgetown. Two bookcases in Mr. Levy's store are crammed full of books of Jewish interest — about 400 in all — and he estimates that one-third of his customers are Jewish. Like other Georgetowners, Mr. Levy can reminisce easi- ly about growing up among politically prominent neighbors. His father can remember seeing Jackie Ken- nedy wheeling Caroline in a baby carriage, he says. And his brother Richard lives in one of the houses on P Street where Jack Kennedy lived as a bachelor. Mr. Levy can name-drop as easily as any native. ❑ 95 $3 per person, per night Based on double occupancy in a standard room.
