Home for Retarded to Have Public Debut Jan. 21 ib for t 8:30 Bnai it I be of St. st fiat. anc- will >day p of tg to the few- msor- 'ama. s this n Al- ie sAo =MI The first Jewish-sponsored residence for mentally re- tarded adults will be intro- duced to the public at an open house 1-5 p.m. Jan. 21. Called Haverim House (Haverim is Hebrew for "friends"), the residence is at 1973.5 Evergreen, near Pembroke Ave. There are five residents in the home, which is sponsored by the Parents Association for Jewish Residential Care. All five are considered mod- erately retarded and are capable of meeting their own basic needs. All have jobs, the majority in special work- shop setups. A converted two-story flat that once was called Sheruth House, it contains resident bedrooms, a kitchen, dining room, living room and quar- ters for the houseparents. The latter are Boaz and Debra Eflal, ■ young couple who live on the premises. Eflal, who is Israeli born, is working on a masters de- gree in psychology; his wife is a former school teacher. Ed Mandell, who is execu- tive director of the home, said the Mills bring to their job a dedication and involve- ment that would be difficult to duplicate. They not only supervise least one is becoming an ex- cellent cook, said Mandell. They keep a busy sched- ule, thanks to the Eflals and a relief supervisor, Maryann Whitty, who takes over on the Eflals' Tuesday and Sat- urday days off. On Sundays and Thursdays, the residents attend Jewish Center meet- ings and several take classes at Ferndale High School two evenings a week. On Friday night after a traditional Sab- bath meal, they have been attending temple services and going out afterward. Saturday outings often are followed by activities, includ- ing arts and crafts.
