The Suburban Community

Friendliness Not Friendship
Is Trade Mark of Suburbs

By the Oak-Woodser
The ADL Bulletin, that very
interesting a n d informative
monthly publication of the Bnai
Brith Anti-Defamaton League,
has an article of interest to
many suburbanites in its cur-
rent issue.
Under the title of "Suburbia:
Just a Pleasant Hello," Rabbi
Albert I. Gordon has taken ex-
cerpts from his book "Jews in
Suburbia" and condensed some
of the Jewish attitudes toward
his Christian: neighbor in the
suburban sections.
Widespread, he reports, is
the comment that there is a
"five o'clock shadow" that
seems to transcend these rela-
tionships, so that there is
little social mixing by Jews
and their neighbors.
Rabbi Gordon makes an ex-
tremely significant report from
his findings, which cover sub-
urban areas in 10 sections of
the country, representing 89
suburban communities.
He states that "primary
friendship (between Jew and
Gentile) is natural and char-
acteristic of every kind of sub-
urb. It is equally true in such
different towns as the oldest

town of Euclid, O.; as well as
the dormintory town of St.
Louis Park, Minn.
"The social segregation of
Jews and Christians after dark
is not to be explained as vol-
untary self-segregation on either
side. Instead, it appears that
suburban Jews and non-Jews
do not yet mutually share the
same interests and attitudes."
Rabbi Gordon states that
there are few suburban areas
which have "almost-all-Jewish
neighborhoods," even though
there is a tendency for this sit-
uation to result.
He says that there is a tend-
ency for non-Jewish families "to
move out from streets on which
a feW Jewish families have
bought homes. The availability
of good housing quickly brings
other Jewish families to the
same streets.
"Thus, 'Jewish neighborhoods'
are created to a great extent
by the sudden withdrawal of
Christian families, creating a
vacuum which in turn is filled
by newer Jewish families."
This latter point is proven
quite accurate in speaking - of
the Detroit area suburbs. Al-
most always when a non-Jewish
family vacates their property, it
is sold to a Jewish family.
Many people, especially in
the Oak Park area, remember
that several years ago when
the suburb was first devel-
oped, there were far more
non-Jews than Jews on most
of the streets. Now that has
changed, so that the.percent-
age of Jewish residents is
close to one-half the total
population of the city.
There is still good feeling and
neighborliness, but yet to be
broken down are the social bar-
riers—and they exist both ways.

mix with Jew and Gentile with

Chachmey Lublin
to Honor Founder
of Torah Center

A memorial meeting in honor
of a man who infused the spirit
of the Torah into untold thou-
sands of Jews will be held at 6
p.m., Nov. 22, in Cong. Beth
Yehuda, 17556 Wyoming.
The tribute will be given by
Yeshivath Chachmey Lublin to
its founder, Rabbi Meyer Sha-
piro.
The Yeshivath Chachmey
Lublin was one of the foremost
schools of its kind imthe Poland
of the 1930's. The Nazis wiped
out this great Torah institution
together with the entire Jewish
community when they invaded
Poland in 1939.
Rabbi Rothenberg, a student
at the Yeshivah at the time of
its destruction, managed to
reach the United States and
devoted himself to the estab-
lishment of Torah institutions
in this c o u n t r y. When he
opened his Yeshivah in Detroit,
he named it for the one de-
stroyed in Lublin.
The 27th of Cheshvan marked
27 years since the passing of
Rabbi Shapiro, whose lifetime
aim was to make the Torah the
most important factor in Jew-
ish life.
Guest speaker at the memo-
rial meeting will be Rabbi A.
M. Hershberg, a former student
of Rabbi Shapiro.
