dents agreed to become ac-
tively involved in setting a
new direction for Beth
Achim.
"The meeting is to identify
the directions that our con-
gregation would like to pur-
sue," Dr. Gordon said. "We
will have to increase our fi-
nancial base and member-
ship base. No congregations
have ever had funding to
maintain services forever.
We will look at needs for to-
day and for tomorrow."
Dr. Gordon said the con-
gregation will be more ag-
gressive in efforts to attract
the unaffiliated toward Con-
servative Judaism.
Meanwhile, B'nai Moshe
has no rabbi, no Hebrew
school, an unfinished
building and membership is
at 320 units. Since selling its
Oak Park building to the
Jewish Federation two years
ago, services have been held
at the Maple-Drake Jewish
Community Center.
Steven Schneider, ex-
ecutive director for B'nai
Moshe, said a search com-
mittee has formed in the last
week to hire a rabbi, ex-
pected to begin work no later
than April when the new

building is slated to open.
Because of the failed merger,
phase II of the building, to
include a school wing and
small chapel, has been
postponed indefinitely. Also
formed recently are catering
and education committees.
Mr. Schneider said B'nai
Moshe is studying possible
joint ventures with nearby
congregations for Hebrew
education.
"We thought we would
merge until we realized we
could go at it alone," Mr.
Schneider said. "We have an
adequate supply of working
capital."
B'nai Moshe members al-
ready have committed $1.2
million above dues and
building fees for the con-
gregation and the new facili-
ty. In the last two years, over
half of the monies have been
collected, Mr. Schneider
said.
"B'nai Moshe is going to
make it," he said. "The
membership understands
there is a tough road ahead,
but they are committed."
Added Mr. Gordon of Beth
Achim, "We will survive.
You can put that down as a
fact."

40th Book Fair
Draws Crowd To JCC
PHIL JACOBS
Sheldon Weisman
I
or Sallyjo Levine,
heaven is a bag of Oreo
cookies, a good book
and time to read it.
Mrs. Levine didn't have
her cookies on Tuesday
night, but she was almost in
heaven at the Maple/Drake
JCC where the 40th annual
Jewish Book Fair was
taking place.
Mrs. Levine, for six years
the chairman of the chil-
dren's section of the Book
Fair, has the challenge and
joy of previewing dozens and
dozens of children's books for
display and sale.
She said the face of chil-
dren's reading has expanded
during her six-year tenure.
Children's books can be
identified as anything rang-
ing from a plastic bathtub
book for a toddler to a book
involving social action for a
teen. Social action also
seems to be the trend in
books for almost any child
who can read. Issues such as
the homeless, Soviet and E-
thiopian Jewry are becom-
ing part of a Jewish child's
library.
"Kids are reading a lot
more when it comes to major
issues that affect them and
the world," she said. "We
give the kids a variety of
these issues to choose from
here at Book Fair. Yes, there
are important books on the
Holocaust here for them. But
there are also titles that in-
volve teen-age suicide."
Mrs. Levine, who teaches
nursery school at Temple
Beth El, said there were no
books this year on AIDS, but
that basketball star Magic
Johnson's announcement
made AIDS a topic that
many children coming to
Book Fair wanted to discuss.
She said that for the rest of
Book Fair, which will run
through 9 p.m., Wednesday,
Nov. 20, a highlight for chil-
dren will be the presentation
of the folktale, "It Could
Always Be Worse."
The production, presented
by the Children's Enter-
tainment Co., is scheduled
for Sunday, Nov. 17, at 2
p.m. There is a $4 admission.
Book Fair Co-Chair Joyce
Sherman said patrons are
purchasing many of the
books by those authors who
are speaking. Because
Chanukah is earlier this
year, the Book Fair has
become a perfect resource for
gifts, she said.
