Women’s ORT to feature Daniel Schorr
Nationally acclaimed broadcast
and print journalist Daniel Schorr
will give the major address at a
Nov. 10 banquet highlighting the
16th Annual Board Conference
of Women’s American ORT.
The Conference, which is ex
pected to draw about 600 people
from throughout the country,
opens Sunday, Nov. 9, and runs
through Tuesday, Nov. 11, at the
Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel.
The banquet featuring Schorr
starts at 7:30 p.m. Monday eve
ning.
He will analyze the Nov. 4
election results and the effect of
the growing fundamentalist
movement on those elections. He
will also comment on the funda
mentalist movement’s influence
on American foreign policy,
domestic issues, women’s issues
and human rights.
Schorr, whose news career
spans almost 40 years, presently
broadcasts regular commentaries
for National Public Radio and is
sought after for television net
work guest appearances. He won
three Emmy’s in 1973 for his cov
erage of Watergate.
His career has not been with
out controversy. He left his posi
tion as senior correspondent for
Cable News Network in what he
calls a dispute over journalistic
integrity and independence, an
issue that he says also closed out
his 25-year association with CBS.
He describes himself as “a media
person who is also a critic of the
media.”
Also a feature of the conven
tion will be a showing of fashions
created by ORT students in France
and Israel, modeled by members
of Atlanta Region ORT chap
ters. This will take place at a
noon luncheon on Tuesday, Nov.
11. Delcy Harber, local arran
gements chairwoman, said, of
the fashions, “We are very proud
of the beautiful quality and design
they reflect.”
She also noted that a boutique
which will open Sundav morning,
in the French American Room,
will feature Judaica by local
artists and gift items for the holi
days. Local participants will in
clude M & M Galleries, Appleby
Studios, Carol Brull Pottery and
Lynn Oves.
Exhibits depicting successful
ORT programs from various cit
ies will be on display in an area
known as “Share Fair.”

recipient of Israel’s Heritage
Award at the Ahavath Achim
Israel Bonds Dinner Thursday,

Rinzler has long been an active
supporter of Israel. In 1948 he
hosted an Independence meeting

created state. In 1951 he was
again in the forefront for Israel

Bonds meetings in the city.
A native of New York, Rinzler

pledges for Israel Bonds on Kol

There will be ten organization

leadership discussion groups,
coordinated by Lee Maier and
Marla Levine, on the role of a

He was one of the first major
contributors to the synagogue’s
new building fund and has sup

out the years.
Rinzler’s participation in other
Jewish causes and organizations
includes the Federation, ORT',
the Anti-Defamation League,

Kol Nidre sermon. “He cares for
Israel more than Jews who take
their past for granted,” Yellin
said.
He recalled that he met Lohr
bacher, who is superintendent of
Christian Religious Education in
Baden Baden, in 1982 when the
pastor visited Boston. They re

Yellin said Lohrbacher told
him he decided to repent for

Beth Smith is president of the

Both the banquet, featuring
Daniel Schorr, and the luncheon

“I’m 43 and even though my
generation is not guilty, I know
there can be no reconciliation
with the Nazi past. Christianity
means remembering and facing
up to what was done in the name
of the Christian German tradi

saying.
The rabbi noted that Lohr

grimage to Israel this year, a year
when few American Jews visited
