Speaking to Your
Children about God
A seminar for parents and grandparents of
children from the very young through adolescents
with
Rabbi
David Wolpe
Rabbi Wolpe will present responses that
are helpful and encouraging. Belief in
God affects self-esteem, and search-
ing for God together can draw a family
closer to one another. In the process of
trying to answer our children's questions,
we gain insight into our own beliefs.
• Does God answer prayers?
• Why should we be good?
• How do you know that God exists?
Monday, December 12, 7:00 p.m.

beret and tzitzit — he is trying to
reach Jews at Ohio State frater-

"A lot of people," he said, "see
Judaism as a continuation of a
bad Sunday school experience."
Mr. Burton also said "people look
for comfort zones and exploration
into Judaism is not necessarily a
comfort zone."
Detroit's Jewish Experiences

He later told the press, "The
reason there are money problems
between the Palestinian Author-
ity and the [various national]
donors is that the Palestinians
are not accustomed to account-
able budgets. They got lump
sums of money from rich Arab
countries and it takes time for the
Palestinians to change their ap-
proach."
Issues expressly faced by
women's divisions in federations
around the country were re-
stricted to a "women's day" that
preceded the G,A.'s official open-

raising awareness considered it
a gain that excerpts from com-
poser Elizabeth Swados' "Bible
Women" were integrated into the
GA's opening plenary.

Mrs. Cardin said she looked

"college students' discussion can

Mr. Netanyahu, who was the
first Israeli opposition leader to
address a G.A., told delegates
that the "silent loss from assimi-
lation or intermarriage or both
exceeded the number of Jews lost
in the Holocaust."
Since Jews who marry other
Jews may not know how to set up
a Jewish household, Mr.-
Netanyahu proposed that CJF
and Israel "organize a library of
10 basic books to give to every
young Jewish couple free of
charge. The first book would be
the Bible."

Jewish, so they're not part of the
current concern with continuity.
But they are also the largest
growing segment of the Jewish
population. While it's invigorat-

teen-agers to Israel, caring for
Jews at the other end of the life-
cycle is less glamorous — and
much more costly. ❑
