You, your family, neighbors and friends are invited to
participate in the Walk for Israel coordinated by the Jewish
Federation of Greater Houston and co-sponsored by many
Jewish organizations throughout Houston. The 10 kilometer
(6.2 mile) walk will be held on Sunday, May 1, beginning with
registration at 8:30 a.m. and ending with a celebration at the
Jewish Community Center. Proceeds of the Walk will benefit
Yoseftal, our Project Renewal twin neighborhood in Israel.
Yoseftal is a neighborhood of 7,000 North African and Asian
Jews who immigrated to Israel in the early 1950s. Funds
raised through Project Renewal benefit social programs and
services in the neighborhood.
We expect hundreds of walkers and joggers to participate.
All ages, families, organizations and school classes are en-
couraged to walk together. Volunteers will also be needed on
the day of the walk, and can sign up by calling Audrey
Himelhoch, walk coordinator at 729-7000.
Walkers and joggers can register by completing a sponsor
card. Sponsor cards are available at the Jewish Community
Center or by calling the Jewish Federation at 729-7000.

CAJE CONFERENCE IS FOR PARENTS TOO!
The next conference of the Coalition for Alternatives in
Jewish Education will be held at Trinity University, San
Antonio, Texas on August 7-11. Annually the CAJE con-
ference brings together between twelve to fifteen hundred
Jewish educators, rabbis, teachers and laymen who are in-
terested in Jewish education. The workshops are conducted
by outstanding educators and scholars from all over the
country. Last year the conference was held at Brandeis
University.
Dr. Michael Korman was asked by the National Commis-
sion on Teaching Israel and Zionism to represent the organiza-
tion at the CAJE conference. He will lead a learning module
on the teaching of Israel and Zionism, and will serve as one
of the co-chairmen for the conference.
Because this year’s conference will be held in Texas, we
urge parents who are interested in Jewish education to take
advantage of this rare opportunity. Those who attend will find
the conference extremely challenging, inspiring and informa-
tive. For more information, please call Helene Roberts in
the school office, 666-1884.

CREATIVE WRITING
A Jewish Creative Writing Contest was recently held at
Beth Yeshurun Day School. Students in grades four through
six submitted original poetry which reflected their ideas and
beliefs on a Jewish theme. The students’ work expressed
sentiments about the blessings, challenges, hardships and
responsibilities that represent the Jewish experiences and
the works selected as the most outstanding were so judged
on the basis of poetic form, choice of language and develop-
ment of an idea.
The following students were recognized for their superior
writings:
Grade 4 - Kara Greenberg and Anna Goldberg
Grade 5 - Doron Friedman, Guy Maor and Eric Finkel
Grade 6 - Randy Friedman.
Faculty members in charge of this competition were Karen
Kaufman and Maureen Wainer, Student Council advisors,
and Rachel Weinstein, Judaic Studies Co-ordinator.
