Robert A. Steinberg, President of Sinai Hospital of Detroit, at the direc-
tive of the Board of Trustees of Sinai Hospital, announces a Special
Meeting of Sinai Hospital of Detroit's General Members and Special
Members.

The General Members' meeting will be held Monday, August 18, 1986
at 8:30 P.M. in Sinai Hospital of Detroit's Zuckerman Auditorium lo-
cated at 6767 West Outer Drive, Detroit, Michigan. The Special Mem-
bers' meeting will be held at the same time and place. Parking is
available in the Shapero School Parking lot off Outer Drive on the
west side of the Sinai Hospital campus.

At the Special Meetings, the §pecial and General Members will be
asked to approve the adoption of the Hospital's Restated Articles of
Incorporation and Amended Corporate Bylaws. Adoption of the Hos-
pital's Restated Corporate Articles and Amended Corporate Bylaws
will bring to completion plans to make Sinai Hospital of Detroit a
subsidiary of Sinai Health Services, a holding company established at
the direction of the Hospital Board. The Special and General Mem-
bers would be replaced by Sinai Health Services as sole Member of
the Hospital.

The Board has determined that restructure is necessary to strengthen
the Hospital's financial stability, improve its competitive position, re-
spond to changing regulation and provide operational flexibility to
allow it to expand its financial and community support and offer new
services.

The Board has set October 31, 1985 as the record date for determining
Special Members in good standing. All individuals who have contrib-
uted and paid $100 or more to the Jewish Welfare Federation of
Detroit or to Sinai Hospital of Detroit during the twelve full calendar
months preceding NoveMber 1, 1985 shall be considered Special
Members in good standing eligible to vote at the August 18, 1986
meeting of the Special Members. At its July 21, 1986 meeting, the
Board adopted the Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended
Corporate Bylaws, subject to approval by the General and Special
Members.

Members in good standing may obtain copies of the Restated Articles
of Incorporation and the Amended Bylaws by calling Sinai Hospital of
Detroit's Hospital and Community Relations Department at 493-5500.
They may direct questions to Virginia D. Benner, Director of Legal
Services, at 493-5573 between 9:00 A.M. and 11:00 A.M., Monday
through Friday.

Vancier is determined to leave his mark
on the JDL. Last December, for example,
he dispatched squads of JDL members
armed with stun guns to attack Jews for
Jesus pamphleteers on Manhattan street
corners. "We cleared them off the streets
in a week," bragged Vancier. The police are
currently investigating the incident. Also
in December, the JDL rolled stink bombs
into a Palestinian solidarity day meeting
on Queens College campus. In January, 40
JDL members picketed the Pan Am
building in Manhattan to protest the
airline's alleged hiring of neo-Nazis for top .
management positions. A few weeks ago,
two churches in North Bergen that active-
ly proselytize Jews were broken into and
vandalized. On the walls was spray
painted: "This time we write, next time we
bomb. JDL."
Currently the JDL, which has small
chapters scattered throughout the New
York metropolitan area, offers boxing
classes at synagogues in Chelsea and Kew
Gardens, Queens. This spring, Vancier
says, the JDL will begin training members
in automatic weapons in the Catskills.
Vancier also has a weekly half-hour TV
show on Manhattan Cable called "The
JDL Speaks." He describes the show as
"just a half hour of me raving." Most
recently, at an April 28 press conference
of the Pan Am building, Vancier an-
nounced that "a Jewish underground"
composed of recent Russian Jewish im-
migrants would stage violent attacks
against Pan Am planes because the airline
had resumed flights that day to the Soviet
Union.
But Vancier is focusing most of his con-
siderable energy on finding "qualified"
Jewish activists to join the JDL. On a bit-
ter cold day last January, Vancier in-
troduced me to five men he called the
JDL's "New Wave" — professionals with
families who had belonged to the JDL in
their youth, left it for successful careers,
and are now reinvolved. The men, who
represent JDL chapters in the Village,
Staten Island, Flatbush, and Brighton
Beach, agreed to be interviewed in a
Chelsea bar so long as their identities were
kept secret.
"Ronnie," a soft-spoken, bearded father
of two young children, runs a consulting
firm in New Jersey. He moved to Israel in
the mid-1970s, but found economic condi-
tions too harsh and moved back to New
York. Now he has a yuppie income and a
co-op in the Village.
Four months ago, Ronnie told me, he
helped the JDL enter the computer age.
He and a friend set up a nationwide JDL
computer network by renting lines from
American Peoplelink, a large Chicago
telecommunications firm. "Using home
computer terminals," Ronnie said, "Iry
Rubin in L.A., Victor in New York, and

THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

[local JDL head] Ken Sidman in Boston
can communicate with each other at the
touch of a keyboard. The 'conversations'
can be encrypted so that if the FBI was
on the line, they'd need to break the code
to understand it."
Ronnie says the system can also be used
as an electronic bulletin board to provide
news about upcoming JDL demonstra-
tions or Kahane's latest political pro-
nouncement. So far, he says, about 70 JDL
members around the country are plugged
into the network.
Ronnie claims JDL hackers have also
used the system to break into a similar
network set up by a neo-Nazi group in
North Carolina. He says the JDL has left
threatening messages on the Nazis'
bulletin board and is trying to electronical-
ly steal the group's membership list.
I asked Ronnie if he condoned a violent
Jewish underground that murdered Arab
American supporters of the PLO and al-
leged Nazis.
"It's a tough question," he said, "I've
often thought about whether I could kill
a Nazi or Arab who supports the PLO. I
don't know if I could. I do know there is
no difference between Hitler and
Arafat — between a Nazi in Germany and
an Arab in America who supports the
PLO."
"Marty," who appeared to be in his late
forties and who claimed to work for the ci-
ty, said violence against Nazis and
American Arabs is necessary, but only a
defensive rear guard. "There is no future
for Jews in America. I have no individual
retirement account. I have a valid
passport. I have my money as liquid as
possible, and I urge every Jew to do the
same."
"Alexi," a recent emigre from Odessa
who is now head of the JDL's 15-man all-
Russian Brighton Beach Chapter, says a
violent Jewish underground is an accep-
table way to combat anti-Semitism. "I
don't lose sleep over murdered Nazis or
American Arabs who support the PLO.
They have been responsible for the deaths
of so many people."
Alexi says his group, some of whom
were soldiers in the Red Army, occasional-
ly practice with automatic weapons in the
Catskills. "There is a Puerto Rican under-
ground, there is a Cuban underground,
why shouldn't there be a Jewish under-
ground if it helps our cause?"
Alexi, an engineer, says he first heard
about Kahane in Odessa. "The Russian
media denounced him daily as a 'Zionist
hooligan,' " he says. Although Alexi
believes Kahane is responsible for bring-
ing tens of thousands of Russian Jews to
Amerca, he says that until a few years ago,
there was no support for Kahane or the
JDL in Brighton Beach, a predominantly
Russian Jewish enclave of Brooklyn. ,
"Now with Kahane in the Knesset it's dif-
