Sociologist Blasts the Stereotype of Jewish Mother; Officers Elected at Joint Annual Meeting in Center "It is questionable whether the stereotyped picture of the domi- nant Jewish mother or the passive Jewish father should be considered as evidence of personal patholo- gy," according to Dr. Otto Pol- lak, professor of sociology, Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. Dr. Pollak was speaker at the annual meeting of Jewish Family and Children's Service Resettle- ment Service and Jewish Com- munity Center May 20. He noted that usually the Jewish mother is described as a domestic tyrant who nags her husband and chil- dren into submission and uses her suffering as a weapon of dom- - Thinance, making all family mem- bers guilty by her anguish and martydom. Dr. Pollak suggested that in our culture women appear strong and independent and men weak and dependent, but this occurs, as well, in white Protestant families. He said there is too much em- phasis on biological and psycho- logical differences between men and women and urged, rather, that common needs for self ful- fillment be stressed. He stated that it is inadvisable to try to "go back into the past" and try to re-establish a patriarchal so- ciety where the man is dominant. "We should accept the fact that women work and men help around the house. What is important is that women and men should help each other in assuring their max- imum capabilities, and the inter- changing of their roles should not be considered as evidence of personal pathology if the married couple lives in harmony." At the annual meeting of JFCS, Mrs. Henry A. Krolik, Merle Har- ris and Ronald L. Greenberg were re-elected to the board of direct- ors for three-year terms. In addi- tion, the following new members were elected to the board for three year terms: Arnold Faudman, Mrs. Max M. Fisher, Mrs. Stanley Fleishaker, Mrs. J. Shurly Horwitz, Judge Ira Kaufman, and Herbert Sill- man. Resettlement Service elected Ernest Gans to fill the board va- cancy created by the death of Samuel J. Caplan, Mrs. Sol Gross- man, David I. Rosin, and Mrs. Lewis Manning were re-elected as officers of the Resettlement Service board. For Jewish Center, the follow- ing were reelected for a three- year term: Dr. • Maxwell B. Bardenstein, Aubrey H. Ettenheimer, Benja- man H. Frank, Martin Fried, Hugh W. Greenberg, Mrs. Sid- ney J. Karbel, Mrs. Leo Mellen, Gilbert Michel, Charles Milan, Mrs. Victor Shiffman and Phil- ip Stollman. Mrs. David Handle- man, Joseph H. Jackier, Mrs. Max Stollman, and Julian S. , Tobias were elected for a three- -Tear term; and Arnold Faudman ,i1 as elected for a one year term. ---- Samuel Lerner, director of JFCS and Resettlement Service in his annual report, indicated that the agency handled 2,164 cases in 1964. Twenty-one women participated in 89 group therapy sessions. Over 50 per cent of the referrals were from parents, and 15 percent were medical and r - psychiatric. Other referral sourc- es were schools, police and juven- ile courts, public and private agencies and lawyers. in residential treatment facilities, including Bellefaire, the Jewish children's facility in Cleveland, Ohio, and The Orchards, which is under local sponsorship of the National Council of Jewish Wom- en. The annual report on Reset- tlement Service indicated that during 1964, 36 refugee families, including 114 individuals, were helped to settle in the Detroit area. Of this group, 22 families were new arrivals. Thirteen fam- ilies came from Romania, five from Poland, two from Hungary and two from Morocco. Resettlement Service also pro- cessed 240 claims for restitution and indemnification against the German government because of loss of life, health and property suffered by Jews under the Nazi regime. Milton J. Miller presided at the business meeting of Jewish Cen- ter; Mrs. Benjamin E. Jaffe, JFCS; and Mrs. Samuel J. Cap- lan, Resettlement Service.
