Family Album: The Many
Faces of AIDS

Maple/Drake

Jewish and gay individuals present a series
of vignettes depicting AIDS issues followed
by a lively discussion. All members of our
community are encouraged to attend this
enlightening afternoon.

Our response to AIDS stems from
a tradition that values human
life and health, one based upon
Jewish values and responsibili-
ties toward those who are ill.
Our intention is to ensure that
those Jews affected by AIDS
feel welcome within our com-
munity.
