By the standards of Charles and Valerie Diker, longtime collectors, yes indeed.

Her mother, Rhona Diker, is an interior designer.

Miss Diker, 26 years old, graduated from the Dalton School and Tufts University.

The performance was dedicated to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Diker, who financed the production.

In December 2012, the London-based Jewish Chronicle newspaper reported that Diker had announced his resignation effective January 2013, citing "administrative reasons."

First American Art: The Charles and Valerie Diker Collection of American Indian Art.

Ms. Diker, who attended the screening in Fairfield, said she believed that some of what the film presented was a "misrepresentation" of what goes on in schools today.

In June 2011, the New York-born Israeli foreign policy analyst Dan Diker was appointed as new secretary-general of the World Jewish Congress.

"If you came into our schools, you would see a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables," said Madeleine C. Diker, the food service director for the Cheshire public schools.

Also on view through April 9: "First American Art: The Charles and Valerie Diker Collection," with 200 pieces of North American native art.

Mr. Diker is the chairman of Cantel Medical Corporation and a managing director of Diker Management, an investment firm.

The words he uses there to describe the Diker collection - "a microcosm of American Indian custom, ritual, and belief" - certainly ring true on the evidence of this rich, concentrated show.

"Unfortunately, this is home," said Beth Diker, a 39-year-old psychologist who lives in Hollis Hills, Queens, and was one of the poll participants who said she would move if she could within four years.

"Native Paths: American Indian Art From the Collection of Charles and Valerie Diker," an exhibition of 70 artworks and artifacts, opens today and continues through Jan. 2, 2000.

According to the article, WJC President Ronald S. Lauder praised Diker's "enthusiasm and dynamism" and said that his "love of Israel and the Jewish people is second to none..."

That being so, the arrival of "Native Paths: American Indian Art From the Collection of Charles and Valerie Diker," an exhibition of choice objects now in private hands, is a real blessing.

Prior to becoming WJC secretary general, Diker had served as the WJC's director for Strategic Affairs, and as WJC Middle East adviser on policy and diplomacy.

Diker began his term as secretary general designate in December 2010, and was formally elected WJC secretary general on 20 June 2011 by the WJC Governing Board in Jerusalem, Israel.

She is survived by a son, Peter V. Tishman of Manhattan; two daughters, Margot T. Linton and Valerie T. Diker, both of Manhattan, 10 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

B. Daniel Diker (born in New York), serves as the secretary general of the World Jewish Congress (WJC), an umbrella group representing Jewish communities and organizations in nearly 100 countries around the world.

From 1984 to 1987, Diker worked on Wall Street, first as a marketing professional at Drexel Burnham Lambert, and then as an advisor to the co-chairman on investment banking at Shearson Lehman Brothers.
