Rabbi Brickner visits Sinai
Religious services at Temple
Sinai at 8:15 p.m., on Friday, July
13, will include a visit by Rabbi
Balfour Brickner of New York to
introduce a series of innovative
radio programs to begin in the
Atlanta area and the presentation
of a Torah to Temple Emanu-EI.
“Adventures in Judaism” a 52-
part radio series, will begin in
Atlanta on Sunday, July 15, on
WGKA-1190 AM. The programs,
which will run on Sunday
mornings between 8:30 and 9:00,
are being presented under the
auspices of Temple Sinai through a
grant from Ellman's.
The taped programs were
developed by Rabbi Brickner for
the Union of American Hebrew
Congregations.
Rabbi Brickner is a member of
the steering committee of the
International Jewish Committee
for Interreligious Consultations.
He has hosted a weekly national
radio program, “Adventures in
Judaism,” which won numerous
awards for religious broadcasting.
The broadcasts feature Molly
Picon, Albert Decker, and the late
Zero Mostel. Some programs
are “My Brother's Keeper,” “God,
Man, and the Weather,”
and “Chemical Religion."
Mrs. Rosanne Diamond is
coordinating the programs for
Temple Sinai.
The Torah presentation to
Atlanta's newest Reform
Rabbi Brickner
congregation has special
significance to Temple Sinai
members. Rabbi Richard
Lehrman reminisced that part of
Temple Sinai's history lies in the
fact that its first Torah was
presented by the Temple on
Peachtree Street in April 1968. He
said, “To preserve this tradition
and sense of community, we are
presenting a first Torah to Temple
Emanu-EI, which shall serve as a
link between God and man, and as
a link between the two
congregations.”
Rabbi Donald Tam and
congregational president, Mark
Young, will accept the Torah on
behalf of Temple Emanu-EI
The community is invited to
attend.

Zaban Branch previews youth activities
Special to ike Southern Imoeike
A look into the very near future
at the new Zaban Branch of the
Atlanta Jewish Community
Center:
It is now 4:20. You have just 10
minutes to gel to your clubs,
classes or groups," announces the
voice over the loudspeaker.
The children, ranging in age
from five to 14, start putting away
their games, poo! cues, pingpong
paddles, basketballs and
racquets. It is lime to leave the
supervised gameroom or the gym
and their activities are about to
begin. The sound of moving feel
and exciting conversation is
reminiscent of high school days
between classes. But there the
similarity ends, for these
youngsters need no second
reminder. They have chosen to
take one or more of the over 200
activities offered at the Zaban
Branch building of the AJCC:
cooking, fishing, painting, nature
science, archery, gym, tennis, clay,
modern dance, basket making,
weaving, exercise, CB radio,
sculpture, canoeing, sports, magic,
book clubs, printing, copper
enameling, traditional Jewish
cooking, ballet, archaeology, and
making models are just a few of the
offerings.
Most of these young people have
come to the Center right from
schools, some riding bicycles,
others brought by car-pooling
parents. Early arrivals will go
immediately to the gameroom,
where, under supervision, they can
pass the time having fun while
waiting for their activity to start.
In today's society, mobility of
families often precludes closeness.
The purpose of the AJCC is to
resurrect this sense of intimacy
through groups and clubs, offering
a home away from home and the
extended family environment
formally known as the
“neighborhood."
Many new children are joining
the Center this year, awaiting the
fun filled moments in organized
activity groups. The motives for
registration of children vary. Some
parents want their child to learn a
skill; others want their child to
“have a place to go.” Many
youngsters register to develop
friendships. Perhaps the most
basic motive for joining groups is
to reap the satisfaction and
enjoyment that comes from just
having fun. The constructive use of
leisure time is certainly a healthy
reason for encouraging children to
participate in AJCC group
activities.
One of the greatest values a child
can derive from participating in a
club is self-understanding In a
club, the child learns what kind of
behavior is acceptable He begins
to sense how others view him,
based on how they react to him.
Groups and clubs will meet
weekdays after school at the Zaban
Branch.
For further information
regarding children's friendship or
activity clubs, call Patsy Goldberg
at the AJCC, 875-7881
