FARMINGTON HILLS, MI 48018 JEWELERS 011""*.- INC. fla v or charge VISA' 855-1730 Eighteen years after taking its first steps as a community agency, Jewish Federation Apartments presented its parent with a birth- day gift. The youngest in the Jewish Welfare Federation family of agencies dedicated a collection of framed historic photographs as a thank you to the community. Many of the donors of the photos — residents of the Oak Park and West Bloomfield facilities — were present for the chai birthday party on Sunday at Prentis Fed- eration Towers. Others in attendance included those who had helped bring to fruition a project that was but a dream 20 years ago: a Jewish community-sponsored apartment facility for older persons of modest means, where they could live in comfort and dignity. Joseph Jac- kier, the first president of Jewish Federation Apartments, recalled the years of effort that went into its establishment, as well as the second and third facilities, now serving a total of 400 persons in Oak Park and West Bloomfield. U.S. Senator Donald Riegle, among the officials who partici- pated in the anniversary pro- gram, announced the reservation of funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development for another 150-unit building at the Oak Park site. He also paid tribute to Oak Park Mayor Charlotte Rothstein, City Manager Aaron Marsh, County Executive Dan Murphy and others vvho ,have lobbied and won over — the federal gov- ernment to enable the construc- tion • of park areas at two I696 overpasses. Rothstein, who brought draw- ings of the two massive decks, said one of them is scheduled for com- pletion next summer and the other will get under way at that time. Congressman Sander Levin stressed the bipartisan support this project has had, not only from Democrats Riegle and Carl Levin, but also Republican Congressman William Broomfield and from others in the State Legislature. The latter include Jack Faxon, who brought greetings. The president of Jewish Feder- ation Apartments, Michael Perlman, described its task as ex- tending the quality of life for its residents, whose average age is 80. He noted that there is a three-year waiting list, with./ many more inquiries anticipated once the next phase is begun. Tillie Brandwine, who chaired the gathering, introduced past presidents of Jewish Federation c Apartments, Samuel Hechtman, Mark Schlussel and Sheldon Winkelman. Residents of the_ Apartments and students from Hillel Day School, who corn- promise the Dor L'Dor (Genera- tion to Generation) chorus, entertained the guests. In presenting the photographic exhibit to Federation Vice President Edythe Jackier, art committee chairman Janet Levine described it as "an histori- cal, lasting and loving image of what it's like to live in America." Many of the photos, reproduced by Bob Benyas from old snapshots, are of institutions created by the community: the Jewish Institute; the Hebrew Free Loan Associa- tion, United Hebrew Schools. Other show the day-to-day life of an immigrant generation: arrival in America, a wedding, a shop on 12th Street. The executive director of Jewish Federation Apartments;\ Helen Naimark, described the residents as "my role models. They're tough and tenacious. They're survivors of life's hopes and dreams." The realization of comfortable, affordable housing and a wide range of cultural ac c tivities in a Jewish environment "has added years to their life and life to their years," she said.
