Jewish Community Campaign Management Team Announced wide," said Traeger. Alan- Wasserstrom, president of N. Wasserstrom and Sons, has been appointed associate chairman of the campaign and will assist Traeger in organizing and directing this year's drive. During the 1987 campaign, Wasserstrom served as the general •vice-chairman responsible for major gifts. Six vice-chairpersons comprise the balance of the management team with responsibilities for overseeing and coordinating the various aspects of the campaign. They include: Irving Baker, Nelson Genshaft, Marilyn Knable, Robert Schottenstein, Ellen Siegel and Judie Swedlow. Baker, associated with Baker Rentals, is a member of the Federation Board of Trustees and has long been active with numerous community organizations. He has worked in the Campaign for many years and has held numerous positions including Special Gifts Division chairman and Young Men's Division chairman. He was the 1968 recipient of the Therese Stern Kahn Young Leadership Award. He will chair the Major Gifts Division and assist with the Keynote Division. Genshaft, in his second year as a general vice-chairman, is, a local attorney and partner in the firm of Schwartz, Kelm, Warren and Rubenstein.

Finkelstein, who participated in a similar JWB program (torn 1981-83, was invited back to address the topic, "Reflections on Expectations and Realities" and to share how the JWB program prepared him for his current responsibilities. Finkelstein became the executive director of the Leo Yassenoff Jewish Center in 1982. JWB is the central leadership and service agency of the North American Jewish Center network of 275 JCCs, YM-YWHAs and camps. Jack I. Fox, associate executive director of the Iaeo Yassenoff Jewish Center, is one of 16 individuals chosen from throughout the nation to participate in the Executive Development Program. The Philadelphia seminar WASHINGTON (JTA) — For the past year the Rev. Jesse Jackson, whose 1984 presidential campaign was plagued by allegations of anti-Semitism, has been making overtures to the Jewish community. Jackson has met with Jewish leaders privately and in public forums, spoken before Jewish organizations such as the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism and given interviews to Jewish newspapers. "It is a different Jackson in 1988 than in 1984," observed Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti- Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. "One has to recognize and welcome that certain sensitivity he is now showing.^- ,_ Jackson has "gone out on a limb like that now just once, but several times, so there is a clear-cut pattern of an effort to reach out'to the Jewish community, and the community ought to respond," added Rabbi" IJavid Saper- stein, co-director of the Religious Action Cehtelr of Reform Judaism. But while Jewish leaders applaud Jackson's efforts, they remain skeptical to what extent he can put his past problems with the community behind him. Jackson, said Marc Perl, Washington representative of the American Jewish Congress, carries a "significant amount of baggage" that Jewish voters are unlikely to forget. The heaviest load in this baggage remains Jackson's association in 1984 with the Black Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan, whose preaching is marked by virulent anti-Semitic rhetoric. In recent New York Times article, Jackson said "the simple fact is that Farrakhan is not connected to my campaign in any way. That's all that's need to be said." But most Jews disagree. "What Jews want and will continue to want is for Jackson to repudiate Farrakhan. There's a feeling that he has yet to do this," said Hyman Bookbinder of the American Jewish Committee. Frank Watkins, Jackson's. press secretary, said as a religious leader Jackson "does not repudiate the per- sohhood of anyone, even an enemy, let alone the person- hood of a friend and ally in the '84 campaign, at least to a certain extent, because there is always the possibility of redemption." Even if Jackson can put Farrakhan behind him, his views on the Middle East still disturb Jewish voters, many of whom see Israel as a litmus test for support of a candidate. Jackson no longer refers to Palestine Liberation Organization chairman Yasir Arafat, whom he publicly embraced in 1978, as an ally, but he remains critical of U.S. military assistance to Israel and Israel's occupation Of the settlements. According to Watkins, Jackson advocates a four- point approach to the Middle East: a secure Israel within '' internationally recognized boundaries"; Palestinian self-determination and justice including the right to determine their own representation; respect for Lebanon's territorial integrity, with U.S. assistance in helping them to rebuild, and normalizing ties with other Arab countries.
