The annual Atlanta Council
BBYO Convention was held April
25 through 27 at Camp Barney
Medintz. Three hundred and thirty
BBYO members, along with
twenty-five advisors and staff
attended a full weekend of ac
tivities.
"We Can Change The World”
was the theme of the weekend.
Rick Blue, PhD candidate at
Georgia State University, discuss
ed the importance of . knowing
one's own values before it is possi
ble to change the world. This was
followed by small group dis
cussions and a value clarification
game. ^ r
After Saturday morning ser
vices, the Academy Theater State
Tour Team presented an original
play, “Wheels.’’ After the play
members of the cast held dis
cussions with BBYO members
concerning the values depicted in
the play as well as the use of drama
in today’s society.
Saturday afternoon the par
ticipants in the convention had the
opportunity to build their own city,
hopefully rectifying mistakes of
the past. The entire program was
conducted by George Warsaw,
former Atlanta BBYO staff

those who come in for several
hours a day to answer the phone
and reply to letters are Jonathan
Waxman, a student at the Jewish
Theological Seminary, scion of a
long line of noted rabbis and
scholars, and Claire Sauerhoff, a
recent cum laude graduate of
Hofstra University, who is study
ing for her Master’s degree in
Hebrew Culture at NYU. Claire,
who has been a Hebrew teacher for
several years, has taken summer
courses at universities in Israel.
They work in consultation with an
advisory committee of dstinguisfi-
ed Jewish scholars and experts who
are specialists in various aspects of
Jewish life.
Both Claire and Jonathan
emphasize the great variety of the
work at the Bureau. Very little of it
is routine, they point out; in fact it
is a constant challenge.
A wide range of questions arises
from the high mobility of
Americans. Many callers indicate
that they are moving to a new
community; they want to know
how many other Jewish families
live there, where the nearest con-

gregations are located, whether
kosher food is available. With the
many resources at its disposal, the
Bureau usually finds this type of
question relatively easy to answer.
Then there are many inquiries
from people planning to visit
Israel, or in some cases con
sidering moving there permanent
ly. In most of these cases, the
Bureau refers the individual to the
appropriate office of the Israel
government or the Jewish Agency.
In special circumstances, the
resources of the Bureau are heavily
taxed. During the Yom Kippur
War of 1973, the number of calls
zoomed to a record of more than
four hundred in one week. There
were three main questions: Where
can I give money? Where can I
give blood? How can I go to israel
•to help? The Bureau rendered sub
stantial service during this period
in steering callers in the right
direction.
Sometimes inquiries can be very
challenging. Recently the wife of a
cantor wanted to know where she
could take a course in Hebrew
calligraphy. Claire, who handled
this call, succeeded in contacting a
person who had studied in this
field, from whom she learned that
the 92nd Street YM-YWHA in
New York City offers such a
course, and also the names of
several individuals who give
private instruction in this field.
So the work of the Jewish Infor
mation Bureau goes on. a vital ser
vice to the Jewish community.
Moreover, in serving as a center
for information for non-Jews, it
helps generate a better understan
ding of the Jewish people among
the general public. Its continued
importance and effectiveness are a
tribute to the insight and vision of
its founder.
Now about Crown Prince
Akihito. In the 1950’s, it was
reported that he was studying
Judaism, but no conversion was
ever announced. As for the other
questions, if you really want to
know, write to the Jewish Informa
tion Bureau at 250 West 57 Street,
New York, N Y. 10019, or phone
them at (212) JU 2-5318. They’ll
be happy to serve you.
