815.0. "Madison Ave meets the Torah" by ABACUS::RADWIN (I think, fer sure) Tue Oct 31 1989 11:26

    Driving from one DEC office to the other this morning,  I heard,
    over the radio, a lively, upbeat, typical Madison Ave. jingle with 
    the words:  
    
    	"Being Jewish is just the beginning"               
    
    The refrain was repeated several times and then a voice-over pushed
    free Hebrew lessons: something on the order of get four free lessons
    and be ready for the holidays.
    
     At the end, some organization was mentioned of which I never heard.
    
    Anyone know who's behind this campaign?
    
                                                  
    Thanks,

    Perhaps it's the National Jewish Outreach Program.  This organization
    is run by Rabbi Ephraim Buchwald, who started the Beginner's Minyan
    at Lincoln Square Synagogue.  They're involved in Jewish education
    aimed at those with little or no background in traditional Judaism.
