AJC Head
Dead At 46
New York (JTA) —Ira
Silverman, the American
Jewish Committee's ex-
ecutive vice president from
1988 to 1990, died last week
at the age of 46.
He died at Roosevelt
Hospital in New York of
internal bleeding resulting
from a parasite he con-
tracted in 1989 while
visiting China.
Mr. Silverman had been
re-elected executive vice
president following an in-
itial one-year term. He was
serving his second term
when he contracted the
unusual illness, which
sapped his strength and
caused him to step down in
July 1990.
He remained with the
organization as director of
its Institute of Human Rela-
tions.
He was as firmly devoted
to religious pluralism and
assisting endangered Jewish
communities.
Isaac Wolfson,
Philanthropist
Jerusalem (JTA) — Funer-
al services were held in
Rehovot for Sir Isaac
Wolfson, a prominent
British Jewish philan-
thropist who died at his
home there at the age of 93.
Mr. Wolfson, who also had
a home in London, had been
inactive due to illness and
old age for the past several
years. He lived to see his
name grace institutes,
neighborhoods and buildings
throughout Israel.
Mr. Wolfson, who owned
Great Universal Stores, a
retail empire in Great
Britain, was one of Britain's
richest men and best-known
philanthropists.
We are all equally at risk.
Young and old. Rich and
poor. Black and white. Republi-
can and Democrat.
Ulcerative colitis and
Crohn's disease don't discrim-
inate.
These two dangerous and
misunderstood diseases now
affect about two million Ameri-
cans from every walk of life.
The Bush family knows this
only too well.
In 1986, ulcerative colitis
nearly claimed the life of the
youngest Bush son, Marvin.
Only surgery to remove his
entire large intestine saved him.
Until we find a cure, count-
less others will endure the
agony and humiliation of these
devastating diseases.
The hope is education and
research.
Marvin Bush and the Bush
family urge you to learn more
about how the Crohn's & Colitis
Foundation of America is help-
ing victims and their families.
Together we can make a
difference.
Because the only thing
shameful about these diseases
is that there's still no cure.
