Friend Of The Jews .

T
he Jewish people have lost a
true friend.
Jack Kemp will be remem-
bered for many things. He was a man
of ideas, intellect and compassion who
cared deeply about justice, fairness and
compassion.
He was also a principled man with the
strength to practically singlehandedly
change the direction of an entire political
party It is easy to forget, but Israel did
not always enjoy the bipartisan support
it has today. The former New York con-
gressman and vice-presidential candi-
date, who died last week at 73, overcame
his party's tendency toward isolationism
and the inclination among Republicans
to write off the Jewish vote.
At a young age, as a result of a friend-
ship going back to his high school days
in Los Angeles with the daughter of
Rabbi Max Nussbaum of Los Angeles, he
developed an appreciation for Judaism
and the Jewish people.
When he was elected to Congress in
1970, Jack became an outspoken leader
of the movement for Soviet Jewry. His
wife, Joanne, was a partner in the strug-
gle and was at the vanguard of organiz-
ing congressional spouses on behalf
of Soviet Jewry. Against the wishes of
party leaders, Jack pushed on this issue
and pointed out to Gerald Ford, Richard
Nixon and others how important it was
to embrace the cause of freedom for
Soviet Jewry.
If all Jack did was to help liberate the
Jews behind the Iron Curtain, we could
say dayenu, it would have been enough.

HOSPICE HEROES
But in addition to his insistence that
freedom for Soviet Jews be at the cen-
terpiece of American foreign policy and
its relations with the Soviet Union, he
also was a passionate lover of Israel who
believed in the Zionist principles and in
working to ensure its security.
It is no exaggeration to say that as a
result of his work, the Republican Party
was receptive to issues important to the
Jewish community. He allowed Jews to feel
comfortable and welcomed in the GOP,
thus strengthening the community's influ-
ence — Jewish support could no longer
be taken for granted by the Democrats.
One Saturday morning last fall he
attended services; his grandson had
been invited to attend a bar mitzvah at
my synagogue. I invited him to come to
the bimah and read in English the tradi-
tional prayer for our country.
Jack Kemp was a friend and a
righteous gentile. 11

sees first-hand
how volunteers make life better for those
facing terminal illness, and their families.
Hilary, Director of Volunteer Services for
Jewish Family Service, manages the Jewish
Hospice & Chaplaincy Network's volun-
teers. "These volunteers are special because
of their ability to enter the life of someone
they don't know who is dying," Hilary says.
"It takes a special person to provide comfort
in trying times. Our volunteers are not
afraid of it, and they help the client and
family find calm and peace.
"The client, the family and our volunteers
all gain tremendously from the experiences
and relationships they develop through
hospice," Hilary says.
