International president plans
visits to members of BBW
Members of the Southeastern
region of B’nai B’rith Women in
Atlanta will be visited by their
international president, Beverly
Davis, on Wednesday and Thursday,
Jan. 15-16.
On Wednesday evening at 7:30
p.m., Ms. Davis will be honored at
a reception at the Houston Mill
House.
The next afternoon at 1:30p.m.,
Ms. Davis will address members of
the Shalom Unit at the Jewish

Shalom Unit is made up of men
and women who have been active
participants in B’nai B’rith Women’s
programs duringthe Shalom Unit’s
five-year existence.
Since assuming the BBW presi
dency in February 1984, Ms. Davis
has spearheaded a number of
innovative programs, including
studies on the beliefs and attitudes
of Jewish and non-Jewish women,
and work place stereotyping of
Jewish and other women.
As BBW president, Ms. Davis
Beverly Davis
has traveled to Europe, South
America, Israel and Africa, where
she was a delegate to the United
Nations Conference on Women in
Nairobi, Kenya. Since her return
she has launched a campaign for

U.N. treaty on women.
In March of this year, Ms. Davis
led a 158-person mission to Israel,
where BBW sponsors a residential
treatment center for emotionally
disturbed children and a project
promoting Arab-Jewish under
standing.
Ms. Davis, who has served in
BBW for 35 years, was appointed
by New York Governor Mario
Cuomo to the State Commission
on Domestic Violence. She is also
a member of the New York Con
ference on Soviet Jewry, the
President’s Conference of Major
American Jewish Organizations and
the Leadership Conference of Jewish
Women’s Organizations.
Members of BBW are invited to
attend both functions in Atlanta.

No new names, no compromises

Sidra Shemos
“And these are the names of the
children of Israel who came out of
Egypt.” In the merits of retaining
their original Hebrew names our
ancestors deserved to be redeemed
from Egypt. The young generation
that came out of Egypt was not
show n any compromise in this matter;
despite the powerful negative environ-
mental influences they kept their
Hebrew names.

Compromises, compromises; the
world is full of them. So many
people are unwilling to face up to
reality and to the responsibility of
truth that compromise has become
a way of life in Western society. It is
therefore not surprising that the
parents and teachers of our generation
have attempted to sell compromise
to our children.
To the amazement of many,
however, the youth will not buy it,
and the peddlers are wondering
why! Jewish communal agencies
spend hundreds of thousands of
come in—they will just compromise
further.
The fact of the matter is that
compromise is really another name
for concession, and one concession
inevitably leads to the next. If this
Mitzva may be compromised, so
may the next. If this one is not
critical why should the next one
be? All this bargaining with the
Yetzer Hara(man’s impulse to self-
indulgence) is deceptive even to
adults; but with children the approach
can be fatal.
On the one hand, the child is sent
to a Jewish school and to Shul,
where he is exposed to Torah, to
the Ten Commandments, to the
idea of reverence for the teacher.
At home, however, the child is told
that he is to obey his mother and
father, to do what they want. When
they want him to go to the beach
with them on Shabbat afternoon,
he is to remember the commandment,
“Honoryour father and your mother ”
The child will demand of his
parents: “If you want me to keep
Rabbi Schneerson
the fifth of the Ten Commandments,
to honor you, then you must keep
the fourth commandment, to observe
the Shabbat!”
The nature of youth is truthful
and does not seek compromise;
youth wants truth!
