B'nai B'rith Zion Lodge expanded the program this year to include foster children and their guardians. Robert Gold, co-chairman of the event, said, "Children's Home Day has become the highlight of the ; programming year for Zion Lodge, because of the service it offers to the needy. In addition, it unifies those of us in B'nai B'rith, BBW and BBYO, who are devoted to community service." Children's Home Day has earned Zion Lodge the Community Volunteer Service Award in 1986 and 1987 at the B'nai B'rith District Two conventions. The program is now in competition for the Kusworm Award, which is the highest award given to a community volunteer service program in B'nai B'rith International. Zion Lodge has sponsored the event for 22 consecutive years, providing children from broken homes, orphans and wards of the state with a day of fun and frolic at the Fair.

"Contrary to the Admin* istration rhetoric surrounding Bork's nomination, the issue is one of ideology and the Supreme Court is not well-served by extremist positions," said the statement issued by Edwin Gold- wasser, the group's national commander. The statement by the Jewish War Veterans, a mainstream organization, suggests the extent to which Bork's nomination is meeti ing opposition in the Jewish community. Worried about Bork's stand on minority and women's rights and church/ state issues, some Jewish groups which do not traditionally oppose presidential appointments, consider this "one fight where" they cannot remain on the sidelines.

The National Jewish Coalition has come out in support of the nomination, maintaining that Bork is "eminently qualified" to serve on the court and that "neither ideology nor political opportunism should prevent him from doing so." David Coyne, executive director of New Jewish Agenda, said he was "very encouraged" by Jewish opposition to Bork. He noted that a year ago, during the nominations of Justice Anto- nin Scalia and Chief Justice William Rehnquist "the Jewish community was almost nowhere to be found." Irma Getler, president of B'nai B'rith Women, an organization which did not oppose the two previous court nominations, said her members are showing an unusual interest and concern about the Bork appointment. "As a Jewish women's organization we felt compelled to speak out in, opposition to ■Bork bjetausej he has spoken out on many subjects affecting women and Jews on- which we are on record," said Getler. But sources are saying that other Jewish groups will have to oppose Bork if the Jewish community is going to have an impact on the nomination. The Washington Jewish Week recently reported that three Jewish Senators invited several Jewish organizations to send representatives to a closed- door meeting to urge them to take a stand on this issue. Sen. Alan Cranston (D. Calif.), reportedly told them that by opposing Bork, Jewish groups could show that they are interested in issues besides Israel. Sens. Carl Levin (D. Mich.) and Howard Metzenbaum (D. Ohio) also reportedly attended the meeting. Rabbi David Saperstein, executive director of the UAHC's Religious Action Center, said that some Senators who will be swing votes on the Bork nomination could be influenced by the Jewish community's stand on this issue. "I think what the Jewish community does is going to send a profound signal rippling through the Senate that may well determine the out- New Members Campaign To Be Chaired By Judy Ull " James Brenner, president of Temple Israel, recently announced that Judi Ull has agreed to chair the New Members Campaign at Temple Israel. Ull has served in several capacities at the Temple including co-chair of the Hebrew Education Committee and a member of the Religious School and Membership Committee. In accepting the position, Ull stated, "This is a very exciting time to be chair of the New Membership Committee. With the dynamic leadership of Rabbi Bradley Bleefeld, the commitment of President James Brenner and the Board of Trustees the enthusiasm expressed by congregants for the new direction of Temple Israel, this should prove to be a very successful New Members Campaign," / Two Prospective New Member Get-Togethers have been planned as part of the New Members Campaign.

But some Jewish organizations invited to the meeting are still debating whether to oppose the nomination and say they might decide to remain neutral; The'Anti-Defa- mation League of B'nai B'rith is currently reviewing Bork's decisions and writings. "We're just trying to be objective about it. That's why they're having a hearing. Why have a hearing if everyone's taken a position . on this?" said David Brody, ADL Washington representative. ; The American Jewish Committee has a tradition of not commenting on Supreme Court and Cabinet nomina- | tions which are presidential prerogatives, explained David Harris, the group's Washington representative. But he added: "We'll be watching the hearings closely and we reserve the right to reconsider." B.
