Thinking of the "So-called" ban...
Most of you are too young to remember when Jews were
turned away from our shores, because they were not accepted
as immigrants. (What ever happened to "Give us your tired,
your poor..."?)
I wrote the following many (many) years ago when I was a
teen, to the tune of "Somewhere" from West Side Story.
With the current rise of anti-Semitism everywhere, only
Israel and some U.S. states are welcoming:
"There's a place for us, somewhere a place for us,
Place where all Jews can live as one, never more to run.
There's a time for us, someday a time for us,
Time to practice our customs free, Sephardic for you,
Yiddish for me,
Someday, somewhere, we'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving, somewhere,
There's a place for us, a time and place for us,
Place to gather our families there, hold my hand and I'll
take you there,
Right now, let's go somewhere."
(Again I was a teen so forgive the corny lyrics but a message
is there. Think about it.)
In memorium...
Leonard Cohen died a few months ago. He was a Cana-
dian born poet, singer, songwriter and novelist, born into a
Leonard Cohen
middle class Jewish family.
His mother, Marsha (Masha)
Klonitsky, was the daughter
of a Talmudic writer, Rabbi
Solomon Klonitsky-Kline, of
Lithuanian Jewish ancestry.
His paternal grandfather,
whose family had moved
from Poland to Canada, was
Lyon Cohen, the founding
president of the Canadian Jew-
ish Congress. (My maternal
grandparents moved from the
Ukraine to Montreal, Canada,
where my mum was born.)
Perhaps Leonard's most
recognized song is "Halle-
lujah" first released in 1984,
Lois Silverberg (1) and Harriet Moldau.
socials at Savannah Court and leading services at Oakmonte
Village at both Cordoba and Siena.
According to NANCY LUDIN, executive director, 'Everywhere
she goes she brings sunshine and smiles. Her energy level is
through the roof and the senior residents adore her.'"
(Harriet and David Moldau are close friends with my and
my spouse's relatives up north.)
A reminder...
On this Sunday, Feb. 26th, fabulous SYL LaFATA, will play
his clarinet (which will remind you of Benny Goodman in
sound and appearance!) He will be at the Altamonte Chapel
from 12:30 until 2:30 pm. Requested donation is $10.
He will be joined by super-talents, MICHAEL KRAMER
on piano, BEN KRAMER on bass, and GREG PARNELL on
drums. (All four are the very best at their instruments!) Our
own wonderful ALAN ROCK is emcee.
The Altamonte Chapel is located at 825 East SR 436 in
Altamonte Springs. The phone number is 407-339-5208.
Speaking of entertainment...
On Sunday, March 5th, at 2 p.m. sharp, the Congregation
Ohev Shalom Seniors invite the entire community to a party
featuring "The Party Girls!"
ALINDA from New York and DESIREE from Boston, have
been happily performing at private parties, veterans events,
clubs and retirement homes in the Orlando area for the past
12 years. They encourage audience participation and offer a
variety of theme shows.
(They will NOT have my audien( e participation because
they are too good looking and I can't handle competition!)
which many artists have since rerecorded.
He was buried in his family's plot in the Orthodox Shaar
Hashomayim cemetery in Montreal.
A Jewish Pavilion mensch...
I just received this email from the Jewish Pavilion and Pass at the Publix Deli in Casselberry. They are not only great at
As always, refreshments will follow (including my favorite
cookies!)
The cost is $5 for COS Senior members; $8 for all others.
Have questions? Phone President, BERNY RAFF at 407-
767-6763.
Shout-outs...
NOEL WILSON and DAJOUR NEUFRILLE (AKA D J), work
it along to you:
"While you cannot count on HARRIET MOLDAU's help year
round-what a difference she makes when she is in Orlando.
Harriet and her husband, DAVID MOLDAU, are from New
England and spend the winter months in Florida.
She originally learned of the Jewish Pavilion when she
joined their Yiddish class and became the substitute teacher
when the need arose.
Today, you can find Harriet assisting at weekly ice cream
their jobs, they are delightful to the customers! I hope their
manager, AMY, hears about them orJ sees this mention!
One for the road... I
Reporters from the Jewish Chronicle are interviewing Sadie,
who is celebrating her 108th birthday.
"Sadie, dear, can you please tell us what you think is the
best thing about being 108? I'm sure our readers would love
to know," one of the reporters asks.
Sadie replies, "There's no peer pressure."
