1 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.
