Dr. Bernard Lewis to lecture on ‘Semites
and anti-Semites: the new anti-Semitism?
Dr. Bernard Lewis, one of the most renowned historians of
the Middle East, will discuss his latest work in a lecture in the
Jewish Community Center's Kaplan Theatre at 7:30 p.m., Sun-
day, Mar. 8.
Dr. Lewis, author of Semites and Anti-Semites: an Inquiry
into Conflict and Prejudice, will discuss "Semites and Anti-
Semites: The New Anti-Semitism". The presentation is free
and open to the public.
In exploring the Arab-Israeli conflict that has unsettled the
world for over half a century, Dr. Lewis will raise fundamental
questions such as: What are the roots of this violence? Does it
spring from old-style conflict between nations and people
over territory? Is it simply the "normal" prejudice found
through time between neighboring peoples of different cul-
tural traditions or ethnic origins? Or is hostility toward I srael a
unique case of anti-Semitism that goes beyond ordinary prej-
udice in ascribing to Jews a quality of cosmic evil?
Dr. Lewis, whose works have been translated into dozens of
languages, directs the Annenberg Research Institute in Philadelphia and is an emeritus pro-
fessor of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University. His appearance is cosponsored by the
Community Relations Committee of the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston and the JCC.

UJC passes $6 million mark as a result
of successful Super Sunday, Super Week
Agency, organization participation made difference
After 4% days of intensive effort in the Super Sunday/Super Week
phone-a-thon, the United Jewish Campaign stood at $6,112,435.
More than $405,000 was raised on Super Sunday alone; another
$265,000, during the following week.
To date, the campaign shows a 2% card-for-card increase over
1986. New gifts totaled over $40,000.
Much of the phone-a-thon's success can be attributed to the en-
thusiasm of volunteers, many of whom came as part of larger
groups. For instance, on Super Sunday, Hillel students spent long
hours making calls, impressing many veteran callers with their
spirit. During the week there were contingents from B’nai B‘rith
Men's Council, B’nai B'rith Youth Organization, Hadassah, Hebrew
Academy, I. Weiner Jewish Secondary School, Jewish Community
Center, Jewish Family Service, J. E. Karpf Torah Day School, Wom-
en's American O RT, Seven Acres Jewish H ome for the Aged, United
Orthodox Synagogues and Young Judaea. In addition, a group
from West Houston made calls to their friends and neighbors on
one evening of Super Week.
Cathy and David Mincberg chaired Super Sunday; Super Week
was chaired by Ellen and Dan Trachtenberg. Committee chair-
men included: Sharon Brenner and Roger Sofer (training); Esther
Polland (corporate sponsorship); Joel and Mindy Loshak (research);
Cathy Steinberg (West Houston); Janet Frost (Women's Division
Super Sunday deputy); Lynne Aronoff (Outreach/New Gifts); Ed
Gardner and Elaine and Sam Spain (accounting); Susan and Gary
Lerner and Irene and Alex Wolchansky (decorations); Bernie Ro-
senberg (food); and Donna and Richard Frankoff, Larry Jefferson,
Gary Kornblith and Irene and Alex Wolchansky (room chairmen).

Jewish Home for the Aged
to open Battelstein II Wing 1
The opening of the Battelstein 11 Wing at Seven Acres Jewish Home
for the Aged has been announced by Sam Feldt, Seven Acres president.
The wing was endowed by Harry and Trudy Battelstein during the
home's most recent expansion.
Feldt stated, "The continuing support of the Jewish community of
Greater Houston has once again enabled us to expand our specialized
resident care. To those who, through their contributions, gifts, mem-
bership support and volunteer work help us to achieve our professional
level of geriatric care, and especially to Trudy and Harry Battelstein, I
can only say, on behalf of our residents, thank you."
According to Malcolm P. Slatko, executive director, this additional
wing will not only provide more beds, but will further enhance our res-
ident service with a more appropriate setting.
