One of the rabbis of the Talmud said: "If a man of learning partici- pates in public affairs, he gives stability to the land. But if he sits at home and says to himself: What have the affairs of society to , David Lebenbom is president of the Jewish Community Council of Metropolitan Detroit.

Detroit's Jewish community, in its continued passion for and pur- suit of just human relations, has patterned a course of action which responds to the Talmudic rabbi by saying, The affairs of society have everything to do with me." Through the Jewish Commu- nity Council of Metropolitan De- troit, nearly 300 local Jewish groups and branches of national organizations give voice to com- mon goals of a united Jewish community in a democratic society. As America's ally and a bastion of demo'cracy in the Middle East, Israel is the focal point of commu- nity expression through the coun- cil's Committee on International Concerns. State Department and Israeli government officials have addressed coordinated programs and Middle East crisis teams have been established in coordination with local National Jewish Com- munity Relations Advisory Coun- cil affiliated agencies to be ac- tivated in the event of a confron- tation involving Israel. These ef- forts, and ongoing relationships with the schools, media and clergy are undertaken to promote good- will toward Israel and build American support for Israel. The activities of the Detroit Soviet Jewry Committee, another council arm, perpetuate the democratic ideal inherent in Judaism which is incompatible with totalitarianism of any kinds. Contacts with legislators on be- half of refuseniks, the bar/bat mitzvah twinning program, reg- ular phone calls to the Soviet Union and public education on the plight of Soviet Jews signal year- round efforts on their behalf. Representatives- on the Council Community Relations Committee and its subcommittees, together with other Jewish agencies, as well as organizations in the gen- eral community, foster civil rights and equal opportunity for all Americans. An instrumental role has been taken by the JCCouncil in form- ing a coalition to advocate contin- ued federal responsibility to meet- ing the needs of the poor. The council has also taken an active role in the Detroit Inter-Ethnic Council, ensuring contact with religious, civic and community leaders. In addition, council's program service department may be utilized by school and community groups seeking speakers, films and printed materials on the Holocaust, Soviet Jewry, Israel, the Middle East, anti-Semitism and a variety of other subjects. Regular television and radio programming coordinated by the media committee is geared toward informing our non-Jewish neighbors about Jewish customs and religious beliefs. The combined efforts of the council and its member organiza- tions, which enhance the philan- thropic values and attitudes ves- ted in the Jewish community; are geared towards making met- ropolitan Detroit, our nation and the world better places in which to live.
