By ISIDORE SOBELOFF
Executive Director, Jewish Welfare Federation of 1Jetroit
Being a part of the Detroit Jewish community has been!
pleasant—and I go to my special war-time assignment in New
York with reluctance to discontinue, even if only temporarity,
such friendly associations.
Detroit is a young community. In fact it is many com-
munities—a community of contributors, a community of
communal workers, a community of people giving service,
and a community being served: All of these groups are part
of the Jewish community interests included in the Federa-
tion program. To have been identified with all of these
groups has been a privilege for which I . am thankful. If
Detroit gradually has assumed a definite and savored place
among the centers of Jewish life, it is because the various
ments of our population, as individuals and as groups, have
made this growth possible.
In bidding you farewell, I want to express my gratitude
and to say "au revoir."

ing meetings to discuss conference problems. In-
formation may be - secured by calling the local
