Under the auspices of the Na-
tional Foundation for Jewish
Culture, the five-part series
"Jewish Popular Culture: Media
and Messages" is set to begin
Wednesday.
The 8 p.m. opening session and
reception at the Maple`Drake
Jewish Community Center will
address the question, "Does
Jewish Culture Matter?" Dr.
Ruth Wisse, professor of Yiddish
Literature at McGill University
in Montreal, will be keynote
speaker, and Dr. Zvi Gitelman,
professor of political science at
the University of Michigan, will
be respondent. Joel D. Tauber,
president of the Jewish Welfare
Federation, will serve as chair-
man.
Scheduled through May 21, the
local presentations are part of a
series of public programs entitled
"Creativity and Continuity:
Jewish Culture in America"
celebrating the 25th anniversary
of the National Foundation for
Jewish Culture.
On Thursday, Dr. John Rus-
kay, vice-chancellor of the Jewish
Theological Seminary, and Joan
Rosenbaum, director of the
Jewish Museum of New York
City, explore the theme, "Shap-
ing Communal Attitudes: Jewish
Institutions as Mediators of Cul-
ture." With sessions set for 1 p.m.
and 6:30 p.m. at the United He-
brew Schools in Southfield, the
presentation will focus on how
American Jewish communal
organizations communicate cul-
tural values through their pro-
grams, and whether they
adequately reflect the perspec-
tives of their constituencies. A 12
noon luncheon will precede the
afternoon session. For reserva-
tions, call Federation, 965-3939,
ext. 133.
Michael Brooks, director of the
B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation at

session, and Wayne L. Feinstein,

serve as chairman. David K.
Page, a Federation vice
president, will be chairman of the
evening session.

What does the National Foun-
dation for Jewish Culture mean
to the average Jew in Detroit?
"Not very much," according to
Detroiter George M. Zeltzer, the
new president of the NFJC. But
the five-part symposium on
Jewish culture -which -opens. ,.a,t
t th'e' MaPle`DiSlee' JeWish '
munity Center next week and the
foundation's 25-year effort are
having a trickle-down effect that
is reaching the Jewish layman.
The five public symposiums at
the JCC and United Hebrew
Schools will study Jewish cul-
ture, its input into American cul-
ture and Jewish communal atti-
tudes.
