FROta) ROUTES TO ROOTS:

A FAcoiLg

the new direction AJE has
taken under the leadership
of Howard Gelberd. Yet he
questioned allocation of
communal dollars by
Federation.
"The purpose of commu-
nal dollars is to put them in
the hands of people who cre-
ate education advancement
and innovation," Rabbi Dia-
mond said. "However, Fed-
eration demands dollars go
to multiple institutions to
create a single program. It
shackles growth."
Instead, Rabbi Diamond
would like to see funds go to
a single institution to create
successful educational pro-
grams which could be repli-
cated throughout the com-
munity.

Julian Fleet, senior
legal officer with the
United Nations High
Commissioner for Refu-
gees in Washington, D.C.,
will examine the role of
refugees in the post-Cold
War era on Monday night
at a forum for the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee.
Mr. Fleet, whose office
assists the government
and non-government orga-
nizations by providing
protection to refugees, will
speak at 8 p.m. at the
Maple-Drake Jewish
Community Center.
Previously, Mr. Fleet
served as a protection offi-
cer in Sudan, where he
supervised the U.N.'s
refugee commission's legal
protection efforts for
about 1 million Ethiopian
refugees in the eastern
region.
Joining Mr. Fleet for a
panel discussion will be
representatives from the
German, Islamic and
Eastern European commu-
nities. AJC organizers
said the program aims to
inform the public on
issues facing refugees and
minorities in Europe.
"Italy, Spain, Poland,
Bosnia are all countries
that have recently experi-
enced increased chal-
lenges because of their de-
pressed economies, bulg-
ing refugee populations
and right-wing racist and
anti-Semitic attacks," said
Ann Mandelbaum, AJC
vice president for interna-
tional affairs.
There is no charge for
the event. ❑
