Swayze Film To Run
During Marwil Fest
Jump!, a movie starring Patrick Swayze,
will be shown at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 2,
at the United Artists Commerce Theatre
as part of the JCC Lenore Marwil Jewish
Film Festival.
The showing will benefit the Patrick
Swayze Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund
at Stanford University Cancer Center in
Palo Alto. Pancreatic cancer is the fourth
leading cause of cancer deaths in the
U.S. Tickets are $25. The Official Patrick
Swayze International Fan Club, sponsor
of the film, will donate $14 from every
ticket sold to the research fund.
At the showing, written tributes to
Swayze come from Joshua Sinclair,
writer/director of Jump!, and others who
worked with Swayze. Refreshments, sou-
venirs and door prizes will be available.
Jump! tells the true story of acclaimed
Life magazine photographer Phillippe
Halsman, focusing on his murder trial in
1928 in Austria. Swayze plays the attor-
ney who helps Halsman fight against the
rampant anti-Semitism of the time.

Quotable
"My mother, Jeannette
Eizelman, O.B.M., our
first executive director,
would always say as we
encountered each crisis
(which usually meant
financial) that an 'angel'
would come forward to save
the day. Throughout our
20 years, there have been
many 'angels.' Yad Ezra was
truly a creation of the entire
mosaic of the Detroit Jewish
community."
— Mickey Eizelman, one of the founders
and leaders of Berkley-based Yad Ezra,
Michigan's only kosher food pantry, in its
spring newsletter "Feeding Families ...
Nourishing Hope."
