which he labeled central to Jew-
ish identity.
"Even our most irreligious
poets (hi Israel) use Hebrew,"
he said. "And when they do,
they're using the same lan-
guage as the Bible."
Travel, he said, also plays an
important part in strengthen-
ing U.S.-Israeli ties. And the
benefits aren't just for Ameri-
can Jewry.

tion of your dream home or reno-
vation project is directly depen-

your builder as well as your
architect.

tered engineer, Edward Kellman,
(U of M, 80), President of Kay
Construction and Engineering
Company, has consistently pro-
duced first class buildings and a
long list of satisfied customers.

are not alone, he said "We have
an existential sense of loneli-
ness that's alleviated when oth-

Finally, Dr. Avi-hai recom-
mended more American Jews
invest money directly in Israel
and consider purchasing a sec-
ond home there. He called Is-
rael "the most powerful
instrument for Jewish exis-

n March 13, at Temple
Emanu-El in Oak Park,
the. community is invit-
ed to pay for a dinner
many will not eat.
A Hunger Banquet, or ra-av
o seudah, provides the oppor-
tunity to "eat the way the
world eats."
The concept was begun by
international hunger organi-
zation Oxfam, the Oxford Com-
mittee for Famine Relief.
Founded in England in 1942,
Oxfam works at the grassroots
level to help individuals and
communities feed themselves.
In the United States, Oxfam
America began in 1970 to as-
sist in hunger efforts overseas
and at home.
Perhaps the group's most
well-known fund-raiser is its
Hunger Banquet. Staged and
organized by local organiza-
tions, the Hunger Banquet's
concept is simple.
Tickets are sold and color-
coded. Fifteen percent of the
participants will be served an
elegant meal on fine china; 25
percent will eat a simple meal
of rice and vegetables at basic
tables and chairs; 60 percent
will stoop to the floor to share
rice and water. All three
groups eat in the same room,
the elegant dining table run-
ning down the center.
"This is a way for us to ex-
perience the different groups
which exist in America and the
world. We must understand 60
percent of the world goes to bed
hungry," said Laura Sacks
Kohn, chairwoman of the so-
cial action committee at Tem-
ple Emanu-EL
"We're trying to show in a
concrete way a situation that
most of us are lucky enough
to never come to grips with.
We can read about Somalia
and Bosnia and thank God it's
not us. But we need to identi-
fy the mixture of our world
which is often difficult and
gloomy."
Many cities have staged sim-
ilar Hunger Banquets with
varying results. A group in
Hartford, Conn., is planning its
third dinner, hopeful for a
great turnout because of the
success of the first two. In Hol-
lywood, celebrities attend, but
sometimes take grief for it. The
well-knowns are asked, "It's
one night you don't eat, so
what's the difference? What
else are you doing?"
Ms. Kohn anticipates the
well-fed group will have the
most difficulty throughout the
evening, watching the less-for-
tunates around them. The
blessings surrounding the meal
could prove interesting, also.
Sixty percent of
the world goes to
bed hungry.
"These are the prayers we
say to give thanks and appre-
ciate what we have been giv-
en. Some of us will have to dig
deep to come up with graditude
for rice and water," Ms. Kohn
said. "We may not have full
bellies, but I think we'll all
leave with souls filled."
The dollars raised through
the Hunger Banquet will be di-
vided between Oxfam Ameri-
ca, Mazon — the largest
Jewish anti-hunger organiza-
tion — and a local food bank.
Most of the ticket costs will go
directly to the three groups as
food will be donated by Classic
Cuisine.
"We're very excited about
this, but when it's over, our
challenge is to continue the
consciousness raising, to be-
come active. I'll be there say-
ing, 'What now? What's our
next move? " Ms. Kohn said.
The dinner is open to the
community. Tickets can be
purchased through March 4 by
calling Temple Emanu El at
