Mrs. Epstein to speak
at Hadassah’s 70th
Judith Epstein (Mrs. Moses P.),
honorary vice president and mem
ber of the national board of Hadas-
sah, the Women’s Zionist Organi
zation of America Inc., will be
guest speaker for the 70th birthday
of Atlanta Hadassah. The celebra
tion will be held at the Westin
Peachtree Plaza Hotel on Sunday,
Nov. 2.
Mrs. Epstein, as past national
president (1937-39; 1943-47), has
helped Hadassah, with 385,000
members, become the largest wom
en’s volunteer organization in the
United States, and the largest
Zionist organization in the world.
She traveled to Israel more than 25
times and to Jewish communities
throughout the United States rous
ing support for the establishment
and preservation of the Jewish
state and for Hadassah projects
geared to elevate Jewish living.
Her leadership qualities emerge in
her speaking—powerful, dynamic,
and at the same time, sympathetic
and charming. Her vast experience
on the international scene enables
her to give a comprehensive yet
concise assessment of current world
events.
Judith Epstein
In a meritorious public service
career of more than 60 years, Mrs.
Epstein has held almost every Ha
dassah chairmanship, including
editor of the Hadassah Magazine.
She is a former liaison to the Uni
ted Nations and was honored at
the World Zionist Congress in 1969
where she was chosen unanimously
as an honorary fellow of the Zion
ist General Council.
Kids learn about Judaism
with Home Start program
When the Home Start program
was launched, no one could be sure
it would succeed. Today no one
can doubt that it has. Orders from
families, from Atlanta to Homer,
Alaska to Bryan, Texas and Laco
nia, New Hampshire—from fami
lies throughout the country—come
in every day.
“The response far exceeds our
expectations,” reports Elaine
Gruenhut, staff person trom the
Atlanta Bureau of Jewish Educa
tion Inc. “This is a program that
introduces Judaism to pre-school
children as a joyful and sharing
experience for the whole family.’’
I he reasons for the program’s
success may best be summed up by
two reactions. Parents say that it is
just what is needed, and children
love it. For the children especially,
it is a seven-times-a-year “happen
ing” when a package arrives ad
dressed to them.
A major goal for the Home Start
program is family participation so
the first mailing, a Starter Kit,
includes a 64-page parent hand
book which explains the meaning
and rituals for each holiday to
which the program is themed. For
some parents this is a refresher
course. For others it is a first expe
rience of learning, along with their
children. This first mailing also
includes a cassette tape of holiday
songs and stories which, according
to parents, the children never tire
of playing.
What child doesn’t like a pres
ent, especially if it comes addressed
in their name. And that is how, as
each holiday approaches, a Home
Start package arrives. Each one
comes in time to learn about, to
prepare for and to celebrate Han-
uka, Purim, Passover, Shavuot,
and of course Shabbat. The fall
package combines material for
Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, Suk-
kot and Simhat Torah. In each
package there is a story book, illus
trated in full color, and a separate
play-and-learn magazine for the
family to share. The latter has
games, puzzles, a simple holiday
recipe and crafts. Part of the fall
holidays package, for example, in
cludes greeting cards to make and
a Simhat Torah flag and honey
recipes for a sweet year.
A child can be enrolled in Home
Start at any time and receive the
complete cycle of seven holiday
mailings. The entire Home Start
program is available for $20 includ
ing postage and handling. To re
ceive a brochure and enrollment
form, call the bureau, 873-I248.
