winning youth drama, "Nothing Is
Simple," about interracial dating.
While in Chicago, Soble earned 16
major television awards for her work on
behalf of superstation WGN and local
network outlets of ABC, NBC and
CBS. Her children's holiday series,
"Shalom Playhouse" on WGN, earned
two Emmys; her children's series, "The
Magic Door Television Theatre" on
CBS, earned six. Many of the other
awards also were for Jewish content pro-
gramming.
Soble came back to Detroit in 1996
in hopes of developing local TV pro-
gramming. Currently, she's co-producing
the MediaOne cable TV show, "Every-
thing's Kosher" — a kosher cooking
show co-sponsored by The Jewish News
and slated to be on the air by January.
She's working with PBS to develop "The
Chef's Table," a French cooking show to
air on WTVS-Channel 56.
Soble also has teamed with the Jewish
Community Center of Metropolitan
Detroit. The teamwork has produced
three live stage shows — featuring
pianist Michael Feinstein, comedian
Alan King and the Detroit Symphony.
For 18 months, until this past June,
Soble produced the JCC's lecture series,
"Jewish Secrets to Self Improvement."
She patterned the series after her Chica-
go TV show, "Sanctuary," which had
rabbis teaching self improvement
through Torah study.
"The intent, in each case, was to
reach out to everybody in all branches of
Judaism equally, to be all inclusive — to
invite and to appeal to everyone. That's
been a recurrent theme in everything
I've done," said Soble, as relaxed at Con-
gregation Shaarey Zedek and Temple
Israel as she is at Bais Chabad.
TV production is her career. But
Children of Chernobyl is her passion.
As she put it: "It's something I can
get my arms around. As the airlift
numbers climb, and more children are
transported, I get a sense that this
cross-denominational effort is working
and that there's an end point in sight.
There's quite a ways to go, but as each
child is transported, and each family is
reunited in Israel, the program
becomes very measurable — and very
heartrending." 0

dangerously undermined and dimin-
ished by the currently invoked
processes of political and unconstitu-
tional impeachment.
The investigation and prosecution by
Kenneth Starr, using methods short of
due process, has undermined the credi-
bility of the fact-finding process itself.
The president of the United States
should be as protected by the Bill of
Rights as any person or faith and confi-
dence in our law will be seriously dam-
aged.
The 34-year veteran member of
Congress, John Conyers of Michigan,
put the question before Congress and
the country, "The issue is not Mr.
Clinton. The issue is to preserve, pro-
tect and defend the rule of law and
the integrity of the Constitution.
Without law, there is tyranny and
anarchy."
Cherish your right as an American
citizen to preserve this democracy. Your
vote is the power you have to maintain
your freedom as the way you live your
life.

Aids Survivors
Your recent opinion piece by Israeli
Holocaust survivor Menno Ratzker
(Holocaust Survivors Need Our Atten-
tion, Oct. 9) correctly identified many
of the important psychological issues of
Holocaust survivors.
Mr. Ratzker discussed how the emo-
tional trauma of the Holocaust has con- 4
tinued to affect survivors to this day. He
calls upon communities to develop pro-
grams for survivors and to be sensitive
to their special needs.
Since 1993, DMC/Sinai Hospital's
Program for Holocaust Survivors and
Families has had a special service to aid
survivors. The service offers a weekly
support group for survivors, individual s
and family counseling, community
liaisons, a Yiddish film series in Oak
Park and West Bloomfield and Cafe
Europa, a monthly social program of
frailich Jewish music for the survivor
community.
