s the High Holy Days
came to a close, the Jew-
ish community was still
doing mitzvot by helping
Yad Ezra, the kosher food bank,
with its fifth annual Yom Kippur
food drive.
The shelves at the Yad Ezra
warehouse are stocked from floor
to ceiling for needy Jewish fam-
ilies through Yom Kippur dona-
tions of 23,000 pounds of food and
$8,500. "This is great during the
holidays, but we need support
and donations all year round,"
said Yad Ezra special projects co-
ordinator Lea Luger. "As won-
derful as this food drive is,
hunger is not seasonal."
More than 22 congregations
and organizations in the metro
Detroit area participated in the
holiday food drive. "Now it's al-
most like a tradition to fill up the
bags on Rosh Hashanah and
bring them back at Yom Kippur,"
said Yad Ezra volunteer Nancy
Welber Barr.
With over 200 volunteers and
in-office staff, Yad Ezra is col-
lecting more food then ever be-
fore. In 1990, Yad Ezra began by
providing food to 230 families
each month. Today, the agency
helps more than 1,000 families
by distributing 30,000 pounds of
food each month. ❑

mery Klein wipes away the
tears. It's a beautiful fall af-
ternoon. He's getting ready
for the High Holidays, and
his children are coming to his
home to spend time with him and
his wife, Diane.
There's every reason to be hap-
py. But on this day, he's choked
up to the point where it's difficult
to talk.
He is asked about children,
Jewish children.
Suddenly, Mr. Klein, who is
well known all over the world for
his involvement in Jewish caus-
es, drifts away a bit.
You see, Mr. Klein is a survivor
of the Holocaust. He was 16 when
he was separated from his par-
ents, never to see them again. He
knows something about childhood
lost. He knows more about op-
portunity and Jewish education.
On Sunday, Oct. 27, Mr. Klein
will be honored with the Yeshi-
va Beth Yehudah's Golden Torah
Award at its annual banquet. He'll
receive the award from U.S. Sec-
retary of Agriculture Dan Glick-
man. He'll be on the same pre-
sidium as U.S. Sen. Joseph I.
Lieberman.
Mr. Klein will carry with him
to the podium the children who
would have been, the fulfillment
that never was reached for many.
"Forme, the yeshiva is the front
line of educational involvement,"
said Mr. Klein. "If it is true that it
takes a village to raise a child,
than I believe it takes a Jewish
village for us to survive as a peo-
ple. Jewish education is the secret,
yet it's something we all know
about. We talk about continuity.
The only way we get continuity is
to educate our children Jewishly."
Still, Mr. Klein had to be asked
several times by friends and ex-
honorees to take the honor. He
said that the enormity of the
Yeshiva Beth Yehudah dinner
was something he worried about
living up to. It was an honor that,
he said, might be better suited for
someone else.
