Rabbi Stavsky To Give Paper At Convention Rabbi Myron Rakowitz, president of the Rabbinic Alumni of the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary of Yeshiva University, announced that Rabbi David Stavsky of the Beth Jacob Congregation will participate in a session at the convention and present a paper on "Practical Hints in Pastoral Counselling (A Halachic Perspective)" on Tuesday, Oct. 31. The convention is being held at the Homowack Hotel in Spring Glenn, N.Y. Rabbi Radinsky, convention chairman, said that "the convention will see over 200 rabbis from across the United States participate in the three-day conclave.

Canadian Prime Minister Meets With Jewish Leaders MONTREAL (JTA) - Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney told Jewish leaders that he will personally intervene in the matter of Nazi war criminals living in Canada. Specifically, he said he would look into speeding up the process of testimony, said Alan Rose, executive vice president of the Canadian Jewish Congress, whose leaders met with Mulroney last month. Besides the matter of Nazi war criminals,-other issues discussed were those of Canada- Israel relations, Soviet Jewry, Syrian Jewry, race relations and anti-Semitism. European Parliament Supports Palestinian Elections , But Favors International Conference ^BliUSSEtS (JTA) - The European Pariiarheht has come out in support of Palestinian elections in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.JBut it still believes an international conference offers the Ultimate solution to the Middle East conflict. The Parliament, the European community's legislative body, based in Strasbourg, France, endorsed both approaches in a resolution adopted at its monthly session two weeks ago. It was introduced by the Socialists and supported by the Social Democratic and Communist blocs. The resolution called on the Israelis and Palestinians to meet in Cairo to discuss elections in the territories. ■,'-.' -I U.S. Communities Asked To Absorb Greater Numbers Of Soviet Jews WASHINGTON (JTA) - Bracing for the arrival in the United States of some 18,000 Soviet j|ws by Dec, 31, leaders of the major Jewish philanthropic agencies have asked local Jewish community federations to resettle dramatically higher numbers of Soviet Jews than they have so far this year. On average, the participating federations will be asMd to absorb three times as many Jews per month in the next three months as they had for each of the first nine months of the year. By taking some of the absorption burden off of the New York Association of New Americans, which is funded through money raised around the country for international needs, the move is designed to channel a higher share of the Jewish philanthropic dollar to Israel for the purpose of settling Soviet Jews there. That is also the motivation' behind a recent announcement that the United Jewish Appeal and the Council of ^Jewish Federations have begun planning a sequel to this year's $75 million Passage to Freedom campaign on behalf of the emigres. The new campaign will earmark a greater proportion of funds for Israel's resettlement needs than the* current 50-50 split, UJA National Chairman Morton Kornreich said Thursday. The latest moves are partly a response to a major change in U.S. immigration policy that took effect Oct. 1. Since that date, Soviet Jews and others seeking to enter the United States as refugees have had to apply at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. U.S. authorities no longer grant refugee status to those who leave the Soviet Union on Israeli visas. Israel hopes the new regulations will encourage more Soviet Jews to come to Israel, and has announced a $3 billion, three-year plan to meet the expected influx. Hadassah HMO Sponsors To Be Honored At Dinner On Oct. 30 Over $4,000,000 Raised At Major Gifts Dinner Seventy Jewish community leaders gathered on Oct. 16 and raised over $4,000,000, an increase of over $300,000 from last year's contributions, at the 1990 Jewish Community Campaign's Major Gifts Dinner.

Rabbi Berman pointed out that "Mrs. Gilbert's training, with a master's degree in educational administration and experience with the Community Relations De-, partment of the Columbus Public Schools, as well as her activities in the Jewish community, will bring expertise, experience and efficiency to this very important post." "With a large number of Soviet Jews arriving in Columbus between now and December, a serious need for immediate community participation. . has developed," said Gilbert. "The outstanding work done by Holly Kastan and Karen Milenthal in developing a nucleus of dedicated volunteers set a standard to build on as we meet this important challenge." Jewish Family Services co-ordinates the community resettlement effort and is working closely with all participating agencies and organizations to provide the most comprehensive resettlement program possible. In the first nine months of 1989, 97 New Americans were resettled.in Columbus under the auspices of JFS. Resettlement services include working with the local sponsoring anchor families, obtaining housing, vocational services in order to obtain employment, economic as sistance, social services and acculturation services. English as a Second Language courses are directed by the Leo Yassenoff Jewish Center, and Columbus Torah Academy provides its educational program for the children who are resettled. Randall Arndt, JFS vice- president and Resettlement chairman, explained "that with the larger number of New Americans arriving in Columbus, our resources will be strained to the limit and continuous, strong community volunteer support is a necessity." Areas where aid is crucial are in donations of furniture, household goods and clothing. Clothing should be taken directly to the National Council of Jewish Women's Nearly New Shop. In addition, help in apartment search, utility setup and job networking is needed. • Rabbi Berman emphasized that "the resettlement program and its services need the involvement of all segments of the Jewish community. One agency or several agencies do not own the resettlement process, it is the community's program. JFS is proud of its ability to work with everyone in the community to provide all necessary services." A large share of resettlement costs are funded through the .Columbus Jewish Federation and the special Passage to Freedom campaign. People who would like to help should contact Gilbert.
