The newsletter stated this week,
"The Piano Republican raised the
bar on resiliency — and she would
have been eager to try again — and
again — if given the chance. The
12-year Senate veteran showed heart
and will against odds that would
become insurmountable. Other key
players might be vulnerable, but
don't blame the ex-mayor for the
school finance collapse."
Jordan llttal
September speaker
"Now that we have feted Jordan
Uttal," said Paul H. Lewis, "we shall
put him to work." Jordan will speak to
the Jewish War Veterans and its Aux-
iliary on Sunday, Sept. 25 at 9:30 a.m.,
at the JCC. He will speak about how
his life style changed when he
moved from a condominium to a
senior residence.
Jordan entered the service in 1942.
After eight months as an enlisted
man, Jordan applied for a commis-
sion. He was sent to OCS and
became a second lieutenant. He was
sent to the Harvard Business School
to train for a special assignment in
Air Force operational studies.
He went overseas and was
attached to the Eighth Air Force
Second Bombardment Group. His
job was to supply bombing units
with correct information about
bombing accuracy. General Hap
Arnold was so pleased with his work
that he was appointed Division
Photo Officer with the rank of
major. Altogether, Jordan spent 27
months overseas.
He met his wife Joyce in July 1943
and married her in December 1944.
In civilian life Jordan worked in the
food industry, specializing in
cheeses. The traditional bagel and
lox brunch will be served.
Cecily Renov of Fort Worth, whose
late husband Max was stationed with
Jordan in England , told the TJP that
the late actor Jimmy Stewart was their
commanding officer.

Hebrew Institute is offering

community. Now there must be a
coming together of those with the
Gush Katif ideology with those
living in Gush Dan, the central part
of Israel, whose politics are very dif-
ferent.
In the process of reclaiming the
Land of Israel, energy must also be
devoted to connecting to all of the
people of the land.
The disengagement from Gush
Katif was a traumatic event. Healing
is vitally necessary. But at the
Western Wall, the predominant
feeling among the people of Netzer
Hazani was the hope that they
would remain together as a com-
munity that would continue on
elsewhere, and that the spirit of
Netzer Hazani would remain for-
ever.
I looked up and saw Chaim
Schneid surrounded by his family.
Tears and smiles crossed their faces
as they fervently sang melodies of
loss and faith.
Chaim Schneid's farm and home
were taken away, but no one can
take away his family, or their resolve
to continue.
Rabbi Avi Weiss founded Amcha, or
"Grassroots" in Hebrew, in 1992, to
promote a compassionate, inclusive
and proactive Jewish community. He
is the spiritual leader of the Hebrew
Institute of Riverdale.
