GENERAL MOTORS
LOYALTY FIRST REWARD

At an NCSY seminar, Howard and
Bruce met Rabbi Avi Weiss of
Riverdale, N.Y., today an internation-
ally known Jewish activist. "He was
incredibly charismatic and positive.
Many public school kids were very
inspired by him," Howard said.
Propelled by NCSY into Torah
observance and pride in their Jewish
identity, Howard and Bruce began
wearing kippot to Oak Park High.
Nervous at first, they were bolstered
by encouragement from Rabbi Weiss.
"Rabbi Weiss told us, if the blacks
could be proud of their identity, why
shouldn't we be proud of ours?" said
Howard. They told their parents that
they wanted to prepare their own food
and eat on paper plates to keep
kosher.
"Dad said, 'Oh, no — we eat as a
family,"' Howard recalled.
"Mom called in Chabad and had
the kitchen kashered," Bruce added.
Bruce and Howard wanted to go to
the Soviet Union with Rabbi Weiss to
help the refuseniks back in the 1970s
when immigration was severely
restricted. They couldn't arrange it
then, but made it in 1987, bringing
dental supplies and Jewish ritual
objects to refuseniks. Eugene has also
made three trips to the USSR, bring-
ing crates of vitamins, wheelchairs
and other materials to help Soviet
Jews.
With "continuity" a buzz word in
Jewish communal circles, NCSY seems
to have a good formula. Howard's son
Moshe, 14, learns with NCSY Associ-
ate Regional Director Steven Burg.
Bruce's two older sons, Yoni and Ari,
were also very active in NCSY. Now
18 and 20, they study at Yeshivat
Reshit Yerushalayim in the Old City.
Yoni will be working as a counselor
this summer at a Jewish camp in the
Ukraine.
The senior Sherizens encouraged
their children's trips to study in Israel.
And they've been accommodating of
their children's observant lifestyles.
"They've surpassed us," Betty said.
"We count our blessings every day.
They're wonderful husbands and
fathers, their spouses are supportive
and great, and of course, the grand-
children are terrific. We're really proud
of them." ❑

Sunday's brunch honoring the
Sherizen brothers will be held in
the Southfield home of Chayala
and Stephen Levitz. For further
information, call Rabbi Tull
Freedman at (248) 557-6279.
