I JEWISH COMMUNITY COUNCIL OF METROPOLITAN DETROIT DELEGATE ASSEMBLY Honoring: for her efforts to share the lessons of the Nazi Holocaust Keynote Speaker: HON. EDWARD J. DERWINSKI Counselor to U.S. Secretary of State George P. Shultz THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1985 8:00 P.M. ADAT SHALOM SYNAGOGUE 29901 Middlebelt Road at 13 -Mile Road Farmington Hills, Michigan The entire Jewish Community is invited ANNUAL ELECTIONS Refreshments served Cheder Has Changed Continued from Page 16 State University, which has led to a minor identity crisis: Those who know him call him Jerry; formally he is Dr. Tel- ler; and "only my mother still refers to me as Rabbi Teller. She really likes it." Jerry and Judy — she is Jewish Students Organization director at Oakland Univer- sity — have raised three chil- dren in Detroit. Shira attends Stern College in New York, son Ronnie is in Chicago pre- paring to make aliyah next year, and Lisa is a student at Akiva. Dr. Teller says, "Our kids grew up at United Synagogue Youth conventions and at camps. We have dragged them all over the country and to Is- rael." A number of Teller fam- ily summers have been spent at the Fresh Air Society's Camp Maas in Ortonville, where Dr. Teller directs the month-long Kfar Ivri (Hebrew Village) program. Forty cam- pers — many of them UHS students — spend four weeks enjoying a regular camp ex- perience with the addition of two daily 20-minute periods of Hebrew and Jewish instruc- tion and discussions. UHS staffers supplement the young counseling staff, and the UHS Woman's Auxiliary gives stipends to UHS students attending the program. "The major point," Dr. Tel- ler believes, "is that United Hebrew Schools is now more than just a school system .. . We have to institutionalize the personal relationships with a sense of willingness to move out . . ." Those changes are also re- flected in a $100,000 face-lift at the UHS main building on 12 Mile Road. Workmen are rushing to complete renova- tions in the lobby, auditorium and board room before Thurs- day night's 65th anniversary celebration. The face-lift recognizes the growing communal use of the building. In addition to UHS, Midrasha and the UHS nur- sery, the building houses offices for the Hebrew Free Loan, Detroit Zionist Federa- tion, Jewish" Community Council, Allan/Touro College and the Allan College of Gerontology. Federation uses the building for many meet- ings and places 80 telephones in the auditorium for Allied Jewish Campaign telethons. Last week, Dr. Teller watched as workmen closed the main building entrance and sawed plywood sheets in preparation for the lobby transformation. "United He- brew Schools is in the midst of a change," he reflected, "and we are still emerging." ❑ UHS Celebration DR. CAROL RITTNER, R.S.M. WALTER E.
