BBYO caucus report
by Joel Silverman
On May 9-11, Atlanta Council
BBYO held what has been dubbed
“The Convention to end all Con
ventions.” Coordinators Alan
Gorowitz and Laura Katz, along
with a 30-member steering com
mittee, worked for many months
to plan a plethora of programs for
the 180 people in attendance.
Held at Camp Barney Medintz,
programs included a seminar on
Jewish/ black relations, improvisa-
tional theater, a “rights of child
ren” program, a variety of religious
services including a Shabbat morn
ing Torah Service, a Friday even
ing service and a beachside Hav-
dallah service. The committee also
presented an Israeli program deal
ing with Israel’s history, music,
dance, economics and art. An Israeli
flag was created and signed by all,
signifying the unity of BBYO with
Israel.
States, life ceremonies, elections,
and an installation banquet were
held, and an executive board was
installed. For Atlanta Council
BBYO, the coming year promises
to be an exciting one, full of innov
ative programming, and renewed
promise to the dedication and spirit
which is so much the basis of the
B’nai B’rith Youth Organization.
BBW’s Project GENE
A nationwide program recently
launched by B’nai B’rith Women in
cooperation with the March of
Dimes is providing free informa
tion on Tay-Sachsand other genetic
diseases prevalent among Jews.
Called Project GENE, an acro
nym for Genetics: Everyone Needs
Education, the new program also
provides audio-visual and printed
materials as well as seminar pro
grams and activities to educate the
general public about genetic coun
seling and the prevention of birth
defects.
A series of fact sheets on specific-
diseases such as Tay-Sachs, sickle
cell anemia, and Down’s syndrome,
and a booklet on genetic diseases
prevalent among Ashkenazic and
Sephardic Jews are available. Addi
tional publications include a genetic-
counseling booklet that discusses
the causes of inherited conditions
and describes genetic tests for them.
A videocassette cites the advan
ces in genetics and stresses the
importance of genetic testing. “ Die
Family Health Tree” explains the
importance of preparing a genetic
history and provides a family health
tree chart to educate families about
any major health patterns that could
be helped by preventive care.
BBW chapters throughout the
country are using these resources
in presentations for schools and
workplaces. To obtain any Project
GENE materials or to request
