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. Purchase tickets via Pay Pal at http:// www.patrickswayze.net/jumpfundraiser . html or buy them at the door.

A 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." Our JN Mission The Jewish News aspires to communicate news and opinion that's useful, engaging, enjoyable and unique.
