Stuart Weinblatt Jewish Telegraphic Agency Potomac, Md. 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 EP THE ROMI E Hilary Rotenberg 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.
