Superintendent Dr. Jerry Teller and the revitalized United Hebrew
Schools.

-

children to the temples are
ideologically committed to the
Reform movement. It is a less-
intensive program, but that's
the current climate of
America. At the same time,
Reform educators are doing
many things to enhance their
quality of education."
UHS is trying to help in that
intensifying effort for all the
schools. One recent effort was
an artist-in-residence pro-
gram in conjunction with
Temple Beth E1. UHS also aids
the annual Reform College of
Jewish Studies.
According to Rabbi Robert
Abramson, principal at
Conservative-affiliated Hillel
Day School, "The major area
we have cooperated in is bring-
ing in people for staff de-
velopment programs. UHS
was instrumental in getting a
grant for the Melton Institute
for Jewish • Studies in the
Jewish Diaspora at Hebrew
University of Jerusalem."
Several day school fa&ty and
four from UHS --11;Batya
Eizikovic, Phyllis bob jstein,
Ella Moskovitz acid Sfarah
Friedman — receivm stipends
to attend seminars at HebTew
U. last winter.
"That has beE.,n the maid
thrust of the cooperatior:,
Rabbi Abramson says, "p1 us
the far mor e informal thine,
— the good "hings that come
out of talkin g to each other
and sharing common prob-
lems. I think that Jerry, in his
person, has been someone who
is easy to talk to , to relate to, to
deal with. Ic has been on the
level of personal diplomacy."
Dr. Teller also gets high
marks, from his boss, Dr. Paul
Feinberf;, president of the
United 1 lebrew Schools board.
"Jerry has been a marvelous
catalyst. He relates well to the
community at large. He is to-
tally dedicated to what he is

doing and that rubs off on
everyone around him."
Dr. Feinberg credits the
UHS board, the Federation
and the Max Fisher Jewish
Community Foundation for
many of the recent changes
and achievements at United
Hebrew Schools. But he freely
admits that "a lot of this has
happened under Jerry. It was
planned before, but it didn't
happen until he arrived."
A native of Brooklyn, N.Y.,
Dr. Teller "arrived" 18 years
ago after receiving ordination
as a rabbi from the Jewish
Theological Seminary and
serving as a U.S. Army chap-
lain. He was hired as an assis-
tant to Rabbi Irwin Groner at
Shaarey Zedek. "I loved the
congregation," Teller says
fondly, "but I soon realized
that I wasn't cut out to be a
pulpit rabbi. But I loved work-
ing with the kids."
When the position of educa-
tional director opened up at
Shaarey Zedek, Teller asked
for the job, and stayed at the
synagogue 13 years. "I grew
and developed at Shaarey
Zedek, and I'm still in touch
with students that I had there.
I still see those who went into
Jewish education, and that's a
thrill.
"Eventually, however, I
began to see , that the future of
Jewish education lies beyond
the synagogue school, and the
position opened up at UHS

And hiS, wife Judy call Detroit
their home. "Our kids were
,..aised here" and "I've gone
through my own religious de-
velopment here." Dr. Teller
studies on a weekly basis with
Rabbi Shmuel Irons at the
Kollel Institute in Oak Park.
He also completed his docto-
rate in education at Wayne
