JEWISH NATIONAL FUND OF QUEENSLAND (JNF) AGM

JNF QLD held its AGM on Wednesday 9 May 2018 at the South Brisbane Synagogue. Dan Springer CEO of JNF Australia attended the AGM from Sydney to talk about JNF Projects in Israel and answer any queries from those in attendance about JNF activities. At the AGM Tony Gariano stood down as JNF QLD President and David Jacobs was nominated as the new President of JNF QLD – David having been involved with JNF QLD for nearly 20 years both in his roles as Vice President and coordinator of Blue Box and Green Sunday campaigns is very familiar with all the workings of JNF QLD so a smooth transition will occur with the change of roles. Tony will stay on the executive as immediate past president filling the role of Vice President (vacated by David) together with Bruce Frey who continues in his role as JNF QLD Vice President. David having been in Israel during 2017 as part of the JNF ANZAC mission witnessed firsthand many of the inspiring recent JNF projects in Israel and his knowledge of JNF activities will be of benefit to JNF QLD. Also at the AGM JNF QLD stalwart Dr Eva Popper was awarded the JNF QLD 2017 Blue Box Worker of the Year which recognised Eva’s dedication not only to Blue Box but to all JNF activities. Eva was not able to be at the AGM so a few days later JNF QLD committee person Lorraine Jacobs presented Eva with a certificate commemorating her award.

Earth Day in Rosh HaAyin Community Forest

KKL-JNF - 14 May 2018 Hundreds of Israeli children and their families celebrate International Earth Day in the Rosh HaAyin Community Forest in central Israel. Due to unseasonable rainstorms that took place on the original planned date, the event was held two weeks later on Friday May 11. Every year, Earth Day is observed around the world on April 22, to raise awareness of each person’s ability to influence his or her surroundings by taking the environment into consideration in their everyday behavior, for their own sakes and for that of future generations. Earth Day also demonstrates that efficient resource consumption affects the wellbeing of the entire ecosystem and the environment. In Israel, KKL-JNF celebrated International Earth Day on Friday May 11 in the Rosh HaAyin Community Forest adjacent to the city of Rosh HaAyin. Hundreds of children and their families took part in the event that was bringing environmental issues to the forefront of the population to the forest, which is an ideal place for the public agenda.

PASSING OF LEWIS RISCHIN submitted by Lewis’s son Danny It is with great sadness that we announce the passing on 1st May 2018 of Mr Lewis Rischin, late of Lulworth House nursing home in Sydney, NSW. He was aged 92. Lewis would be well known to many of you. He was a World War 2 veteran and after discharge from the Navy in 1946, met local lass Rachel Soloduhin (deceased 1979) who was studying at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, and married her in Brisbane in 1948. They lived in Coorparoo until 1975. They had two children Susan and Danny. Lewis was a taxi driver for Blue and White cabs for many years, and during this time he served on the Jewish Board of Deputies as President, collected for the JNF, and, like most families in Brisbane, offered to billet competing athletes when it was Brisbane’s turn to host the Maccabi Games. Lewis also convened the annual Legacy picnic hosting disadvantaged children on an annual trip to the bay side suburbs of Wynnum and Manly under Police escort. From 1968 to 1972 Lewis fulfilled his lifelong dream of owning and operating a ferry service from Manly to Dunwich on North Stradbroke Island. In conjunction with Norn Dunn Bus Lines, he also managed a tourism operation to St Helena Island where tours of the old penal settlement were conducted. It was a great day when Channel 9 covered the launch of the boat at Bulimba on the banks of the Brisbane River. In 1970 Lewis met the Queen’s ship, the Britannia, at the mouth of the Brisbane River and followed her at close quarters all the way to the terminal alongside Kingsford Smith Drive. In the years that followed, Lewis’s wife Rae suffered declining health, and after selling the boat to Hayles Canberra Cruises in 1972, Lewis spent some time in the real estate industry. They built a house at Paradise Point on the Gold Coast where it was hoped they would retire. Sadly, in 1979, Rae passed away and Lewis sold the property. He moved into a unit in Surfers Paradise and became involved with the local Gold Coast Jewish Community, helping out around the shule with odd jobs and general gardening and maintenance work. Lewis met his second partner Clarice (a recently widowed lady he had known in Sydney during his teenage years) in the mid 1980’s and together they travelled extensively around Australia and overseas visiting Israel, Europe and the United Kingdom while also tracing some family history. Lewis also enjoyed catching up with his old shipmates from the Corvette Echuca travelling to that Victorian town every two years around Anzac Day to honour those who had paid the ultimate sacrifice. In 2013 Lewis had a major operation following which he was no longer able to care for Clarice who was then moved to Sydney by her family. During an attempted visit by car to see Clarice in April 2014, Lewis suffered a bad accident at Ulmarra, around half way, and was confined to the Coffs Harbour Hospital for many weeks. Susan and Danny decided Lewis could no longer look after himself and so he spent the next 4 years in the nursing home in Sydney where he eventually succumbed to various illnesses which included a bad fall shortly before he passed away. Lewis’s remembrance and funeral service were conducted at the Jewish Chapel in Rookwood Cemetery in Sydney. It was presided over by Rabbi David Freedman (Bondi Central Synagogue) and Roger Selby, President of NAJEX, NSW. Lewis will be remembered by his family and those who knew him, as a person of great courage, strength, determination and an honest and forthright approach to life. He is survived by his sister Mrs Phyllis Glasser, his two children Susan and Danny, his daughter- in- law Pearl, 3 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. We wish all of Lewis’s family members long life and only happy times ahead with treasured memories of a loved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and uncle.
