Will meet Monday, December 7 at 10 am in the Library and<br />
at 7 pm in the Alpert Room. The book being discussed is My<br />
Father’s Paradise: A Son’s Search for His Jewish Past in Kurdish Iraq<br />
by Ariel Sabar. Sabar grew up in California, the son of a professor<br />
of Hebrew at UCLA who had grown up in an ancient village in<br />
northern Iraq where the native language was still Aramaic. The<br />
birth of his own son causes Ariel Sabar to explore his father’s and<br />
his own background. This discussion will be facilitated by Susan<br />
Chalom, professor of English at Wayne State University. There is<br />
a fee of $30 for the series, $25 for members of The Friends of the<br />
Library or Sisterhood. The drop-in fee is $10 per session.<br />
YOO HOO, MRS. GOLDBERG<br />
My apologies to Fred Foreman whose name was inadvertently<br />
left off the “thank-you” list in the October <strong>Bulletin</strong>. Fred ran<br />
the sound system and was responsible for everyone being able to<br />
clearly hear and enjoy the movie. Thank you Fred!<br />

THE RUTH FRANKLIN EINSTEIN<br />
EDUCATION ASSISTANCE FUND<br />
Anita Naftaly Family<br />
Circle Conference<br />
The Ruth Franklin Einstein Education Assistance Fund, named in<br />
memory of the oldest of Rabbi Leo M. Franklin’s daughters, continues to<br />
be a mainstay in the Jewish community as it provides interest-free loans<br />
to Jewish college students in the metro Detroit area. The Fund is part<br />
of the consortium known as JELS, Jewish Education Loan Service, which<br />
disburses hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest-free loans each year.<br />
These loans help Jewish young adults, including <strong>Beth</strong> <strong>El</strong> students, pursue<br />
their undergraduate and graduate or professional degrees.<br />
As you know, Michigan institutions of higher learning have steeply<br />
increased tuition. Many students are forced to supplement any scholarships<br />
or PELL grants they may have received with expensive interest-bearing<br />
loans.. Monies from the Einstein Fund help these students to alleviate the<br />
burden of repaying expensive loans.<br />
The Einstein Fund is able to make these loans because of your donations<br />
to the fund and the excellent and timely repayments by loan recipients.<br />
We encourage you to consider the Einstein Fund when honoring or<br />
remembering friends and family.<br />
