Cantor Nicholas Fenakel, committee member who is assisting with the musical entertainment, looks on. Mrs. Max Biber, program chair- man of the nursing home commit- tee of the Jewish Family and Chil- dren's Service, met with Mrs. Max Sosin, Cantor Nicholas Fenakel and Mrs. Zena Baum of the JFCS staff, to plan and implement a Hanuka program for private nurs- ing homes in metropolitan Detroit. The committee is presently re- cruiting volunteers to visit and entertain Jewish patients in 15 nursing homes, over a five-day period during Hanuka. The program at each nursing home will include a candle-lighting ceremony, several selcetions from a choral group, refreshments and a token gift. Mrs. Max Sosin, a committee member ,is in charge of the pro- curement and wrapping of more than 300 gifts. Cantor Fenakel, member of the committee, will advise and assist with the musical program. The department of services to the aged of the JFCS, long aware of the deep desire on the part of infirm and aged Jews for Jewish community contact, has embarked on a project to fulfill this need. The nursing :home committee is developing a corps of volunteers for a "Friend)), Visitor" program. Rabbi Joshua Sperka, a nursing home committee member who regularly visits the nursing homes has indicated to the department that there are many Jews who receive visitors infrequently, or not at all. The Jewish Family and Chil- dren's Service invites the commun- continuing holiday programs to aged and infirm Jewish nursing home patients, as well as individu- al "fo -gotten' Jews.

In a statement prior to her re- turn to Israel after a month here fer Israel Bonds and other causes Mrs. Meir said that "it has been a source of deep satisfaction to see during the past several weeks that all-out support born in the period of greatest crisis for Israel has been adopted as a criterion and standard for the future, and that community leaders have no thought of returning to the levels of campaigning that existed before the outbreak of the June War." •••• ■•■ ••.•., 411 111111 - .1 ' "He gets along magnificently with his assistant Rabbis!" • t • • apero Honored With Brotherhood Award Nate S.
