Merchants Festival Center A special welcoming ceremony for the new Jewish cadets was held last month at the West Point Jew ish Chapel. Well-wishers, commu nity members and representatives of the Jewish War Veterans were in attendance. Each new Jewish cadet was presented with an inscribed edition of the Siddur for Jewish Personnel in the Armed Forces. The Class of 1990’s Jewish mem bers consist of 18 men and four women. The majority, 13, are from New York, New Jersey and Mas sachusetts. Four are from Califor nia, four from the South and one is from the Midwest. “The Jewish Chapel greatly en hances the lives of the Jewish cadets and community at West Point,” said Herbert Ames, president of the West Point Jewish Chapel Fund. One of the original intentions of the chapel, Ames said, “was to provide a religious home that serves to welcome members of the Jewish faith to West Point. The chapel is cited as a signifi cant factor for the growing number of Jewish cadets at West Point.” Halpern’s ‘team’ to manage Epstein School move in ’87 As a record number of students began the 1986-87 school year, Gary Synder, president of the Ep stein School, announced the lead ership team working on the move to Underwood Hills Elementary School. The Ahavath Achim Syn agogue has been home to the school since its inception in 1972. In the fall of 1987, the school will relocate in Sandy Springs. Chairing this major move in the school’s history is Jack Halpern. The next nine months will be spent in setting plans in motion for the physical changes needed in the new building, a smooth transition from the synagogue and an expanded enrollment for the 1987-88 school year. Halpern will have the following team working with him. David Kuniansky and Larry Wolfe will assume responsibility for the Build ing and Grounds Committee; Peter Aranson and John Miller will chair the Budget Committee; Sol Singer will chair the Inter-Agency Rela tions Committee working with the Ahavath Achim Synagogue, Atlan ta Jewish Federation and Fulton County; Sherry Frank will chair the Publicity Committee; the Fund raising Committee chairpersons will be announced soon. Halpern has invited all Epstein School parents and friends to help in the historic move. He said, “We have been given an opportunity to make a significant contribution to the quality of our children’s educa tion and to the future of Jewish education in Atlanta.” To volunteer, call Jack Halpern (451-0318, work) or (255-0129, home), the committee chairs, the school staff or board.
