Jewish Community Blood Donor Drive To Be Held Dec. 22 At Jewish Center It is called "Life-Sharing," and on Dec. 22, Columbus' Jewish community will be asked to take part in sharing life and saying lives once again. On that day, from 12:30 until 6:30 p.m. at the Leo Yassenoff Jewish Center, the Jewish Community Blood Donor Council will hold its semi-annual blood drive in conjunction with the Central Ohio Chapter of the American Red Cross. The Council'rt goal for this' drive is 250 pints of blood. "By participating in this important drive, each of us can help assure that an ade. quate supply of blood is maintained for our own Jewish Community and for the. Central Ohio community as a whole," said Richard Grundstein, co-chair of this J year's drive and one of the ', founders of the Jewish Com- : munity blood donor effort:,, "Over the past two years, The Council of Jewish Fed- erations at its annual General Assembly held, in' New Orleans Nov. 16-20 unanimously adopted a resolution related to political activity in Israel in regard to the Law of Return. The Council of Jewish Federations is the North American representative body of the over 200 Federations. Over 3,000 official delegates and Assembly participants were in attendance., The text of the resolution is as follows: "The centrality of Israel to all Jews is fundamental to our very Peoplehood. There- ' fore, maintaining the broadest possible unity among Jews in their . support of Israel is a matter of the highest priority. With this in mind, the Council of Jewish Federations, coordinating the work of the United JewishAppeal;^ yjyted J§rael Appeal and United Israel Appeal of Canada, has been ahd will continue to be active in pursuing the position it adopted in 1987 urging Israeli leaders not to act through the Knesset or political process to legislate any, direct or indirect changes in the Law of Return to define * 'Who is a Jew.'We call on all political leaders of both major party groupings in Israel to agree to take this issue off the political agenda. An emergency leadership task force is meeting on an action plan to accomplish this goal. From this General Assembly,, a leadership mission will carry our message directly to Israel. The issue, with its ideological, moral ahd communal implications, should riot be decided in the context of political accommodation or to ensure the maintenance or downfall of a particular government. World Jewry should not be divided by a political approach to the issue of 'Who is a Jew.' "We, the 57th General Assembly of the Council of Jewish Federations, meeting at. a critical moment concerning this issue, urge the leaders of Israel not to underestimate the strength of feeling on this matter. We direct the leadership of the Council of Jewish Federa tions to convey to the political leadership in Israel, in the most vigorous, immediate and continuing way pos- , sible, that they must not risk dividing the world Jewish community as they seek now to form a government ahd thereafter. "Simultaneously, we reaffirm our continued total support for Israel,. for the United Jewish Appeal arid Rederation overseas and community campaign, and call on every Jewish organization and institution in North America to endorse this principle. Such support and contributions are for needs of the people of Israel, not any government of the moment, and those needs have riot lessened, they have increased." Two Local Artists On Display In Center's Goldberg Gallery The Leo Yassenoff Center currently has on display a new visual art exhibit featuring two Columbus artists. Margie Bender and Paul Palnik have works appearing together in the Goldberg Gallery at the Center through Jan. 4. Thoughout the cases, Bender has chosen some exciting pieces, many of which are satiric and deal with social commentary. Her work is in clay and mixed media sculpture. Palnik's we have seen the number of donor's participating in the Jewish Community blood drive increase dramatically. Last July, we obtained 183 donors, up from 90 the year before.We are confident we can reach our ambitious goal on Dec, 22," Grundstein said. The Jewish Community has been participating with the American Red Cross in its blood donor efforts since 1949. At various times, the drive has been spearheaded by the Jewish War-Veterans and by Zion Lodge of B'nai B'rith. Now, a community- based council comprised of representatives of all of the major Jewish organizations in Columbus sponsors the drive. The Council is asking all Jewish organizations and the city's synagogifes, as well as employers in the community, to communicate with their members to stress the importance of the drive, Grundstein said. The blood drive is conducted under the strict supervision of trained Red Cross workers. Donating blood is virtually painless and takes only about an hour, including the required physical screening of donors, the actual donating process and a post-donation rest period. Red Cross officials emphasize that donating blood is totally safe for the donor. Every pint of blood v donated to the Red Cross can be broken down into four component parts, so that four persons may benefit from each pint. In other words, Grundstein'noted, a successful Jewish Community blood drive on Dec. 22 has the potential of helping to save 1,000 lives.

They are fine art cartoons depicting humanity's struggles with the absurd and the profound in life. "We are very excited to have itwo artists of the caliber of Bender and Palnik appearing together in the Jewish Center," according to Crystal Mendelson, Visual Arts chairwoman at the Center. All the works are for sale with prices ranging from $25 to $400.
