CELEBRATION OF LIFE
Theme of €Love and Marriage'
to warm JCC
When Celebration of Life
began four years ago, .the.
event focused on the talents,
challenges, and accomplishments of adults during their
retirement years. This successful venture of the Senior
Adult Department of the Leo
Yassenoff Jewish Community Center has evolved into
thematic celebration through
which adults of all ages from
the Central Ohio area and
beyond come together to
share the positive and
enriching aspects of If le unique to growing older.
The first two.events provided the community with an
opportunity to consider re
tirement years in a positive
way through participation in
activities such as educational seminars, style shows and
theatrical productions illustrating what life has to offer in later years. In 1989, the
theme,"Celebrating the Immigrant Family Memoirs"
introduced a fresh dimension, triggered by the arrival
of a large contingent of Soviet Jews. Featuring a subject
relevant to so many in the
community was a way for
participants to reflect on the
history of Columbus immigrants ... as well as members of their own family. "
The 1990 Celebration, of
Life, to be heldN6v.ll and 12
at the JCC, continues the tradition initiated in 1989. and
■ broadens the spectrum to include the celebration of a
bond that touches and
strengthens people in all
.walks of life — love and marriage.
% To commemorate this
institution and welcome New
Americans to their home in
the Columbus Jewish community, this weekend's Celebration of Life will feature an
actual Jewish wedding for
couples who were married
under civil law in the Soviet
Union. This ceremony to be

will incorporate the religious
language and symbols
denied to the couples during
their lives in the Soviet
Union. Three rabbis will conduct ceremonies for 11
couples and a reception complete with Chupah centerpieces will follow. Family'
members, friends and mem*
bers of the entire community
are invited to join the couples
at the reception. Refreshments will be served.
For one couple., Eugene
and Raisa Patlashenko, the

consecration of their vow
will not only mean a new be*
