Principal Mr. and Mrs. Jules Doneson and family ter early this month, The Council of Orthodox Rabbis of Greater Detroit (Vaad Harabonim ) issued the fol- lowing statement on the stabilization of neighbor- hoods: "The Oak Park-Southfield area is the center of Jewish life in the Metropolitan De- troit area. Based here are the schools, synagogues and mikva that are the basic ne- cessities of Jewish life. Much blood, sweat and tears have gone into build- ing these institutions and the Jewish neighborhood. Many sacrifices were brought to create and main- tain them. "In addition, we have cre- ated a harmonious relation- ship with all in our neigh- borhood. There have been those who have tried to in- still fear and panic in the in- habitants of our area. It is up to us to make sure that they do not succeed. "It is therefore in- cumbent on every Jew to protect these institutions and the beautiful neighbor- hood we have built. Moving from this neighborhood and thereby zausing the eventu- al demise of these in- stitutions is totally against the Halakha. This is in ac- cordance with the rulings of Rav Moshe Feinstein and the Lubavitcher Rebbe. "The Vaad Harabonim therefore calls on the entire community to remain in our area and unite in contin- uing the spirit of friendship and brotherhood." Attending the meeting were Rabbis Leizer Levin, Beret Shemtov, David Lie- berman, Shalom Goldstein, Feivel Wagner, Moshe Schwab and Sol Frankel. Also attending was Harry Gordon. It was noted that Rabbi James I. Gordon, who is re- cuperating from surgery, was unable to attend, but endorsed the statement. The rabbis agreed to de- liver sermons on the impor- tance of neighborhood stabi- lization and encourage their fellow rabbis to do the same.
