A graduate of the University of North Carolina and the Yale Law School, he served as a speechwriter on the White House sta£f in 1964-65, and was staff director of former Governor Terry Sanford's A Study of American States at Duke University from 1965 to 1967.

His biography, Judah P. Benjamin: The Jewish Confederate was published by the Free Press of Macmillan in February, 1988, is already in its fifth printing.

Naparstek Premier Industrial Foundation 4500 Euclid Avenue Cleveland, OH 44103 Dear Mr. Naparstek: Thank you for your letter of welcome to the newly established commission. In responding to your request for biographical information, I am including both my official curriculum vita and a more informal narrative containing personal data . Si nce you will use some universal format for the biographical sketches, I leave it to you to integrate the two elements. I was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and during high school and college, I was involved with a Zionist youth movement, Young Judaea. This involvement had a great influence on the development of my personal Jewish identity. During college I spent a year at the Institute for Jewish Youth Leaders from Abroad in Jerusalem. The "Machon" included academic study in Judaica as wll as leadership training. Upon my return I became involved in Jewish teaching, youth work and Jewish camping as I completed my studies at Radcliffe ' college. In 1954 I married David A. Lee, a fellow Young Judaean, who was then a medical student at Boston University. His trai ning in surgery and service in the Air Force took us to many locations before we settled in Los Angeles. We had three children - Aviva, Joseph and Joshua . In spite of the tragedy of my husband's sudden death in 1974, all of them have shaped lives of achievement and Jewish involvement. All three had extensive Jewish educations, spent a year of study in Israel and completed their academic courses of study. Aviva, who is married (also to a fellow Young Judaean) and has a five year old son, just received her M.D. from Tufts University School of Medicine in May 1988. Joseph holds an undergraduate degree from Harvard University and has done graduate work in Cinema at the University of Southern California. Joshua graduated with his B. A. from Harvard University thi s month, June 1988. Mr. Arthur Naparstek June 24 , 1988 Page two My many activities as a lay leader particularly in Hadassah, the Heschel Day School and my synagogue - have certainly shaped my perceptions as a professional in Jewish life and my vision for the training of Jewish educators. One of the great challenges is the preparation of professionals to be full partners in the leadership of the Jewish community and Jewish institutions. At the same time I believe lay leaders must be educated to view Jewish professionals as their natural partners in insuring the viability of Jewish life in North America. I am sure these personal notes are far more than what you need, but I wanted to give you some sense of the "person" behind the curriculum vita. I very much look forward to our working relationship in the context of the Commission. Sincerely, oJv~c1-C4~ Saras.
