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. ❑ -3663.

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. "Emery is a rare and special in- A GIFT page 12 -/ (
