They admitted paying a high 0. price for achieving their status. They conceded that they were only accepted up to a point — and that remain- ing on the corporate rise is a giant struggle. These women said the sac- rifice that they had to make juggling their careers and families was not worth it. When a woman is on the cor- porate level, she knows that she must still go home to be concerned with dinner, no - matter how responsibilities are divided between husband and wife. What will happen with a woman congregational rabbi? Do you hesitate to call her male counterpart at 8 a.m. or 11 p.m.? But how about a woman rabbi who has young children or a baby? Would you call her very early or very late? I respect and encourage women who aspire to leader- ship roles in Jewish life, be- lieving everyone should have an equal opportunity. Given the opportunity, women can be a key influence in the up- grading of Jewish education, strengthening family life and making an impact on world questions such as nuclear disarmament and world peace. LETTERS I wish to add a closing vig- nette to your fine story about Harriette Lieberman Simons ("Purely Commentary," Sept. 26). As your readers undoub- tedly know, Leonard Simons has collected books through- out his lifetime with a pas- sion matched only by his generosity in giving them away. Harriette shared this interest. In one of her final acts of charity shortly before her death, Harriette decided to give to me one of the price- less works from their collec- tion. A tiny volume, Love of Jesus, printed in 1677, it was a stunningly thoughtful gift for the president of a Catholic college. Among his many civic con- tributions, Leonard Simons served on the original Board of Lay Trustees when Maryg- rove College first began to broaden its governance structure two decades ago. He helped lead a fund drive at that time to build an addition to our library. Leonard has remained interested in Marygrove to this day as we seek to educate Detroit's leaders for the 21st century. I admire Leonard Simons' dedication to so many and varied worthwhile causes, I value his advice, and I share his grief over the loss of his lifetime companion. John E.

For all occasions Nation-Wide Delivery Errors In Fact Must Be Answered It is a matter of concern that Betsy Barlow's errors of fact were permitted to go un- answered. In her letter (Sept. 19), she states, "As more and more land is taken from these Palestinians, and more Jewish settlers build on the land in what was designated to be the Arab state ..."' she mouths the lie, so often re- peated, that is accepted as fact by the unknowledgeable. The Arab state is Jordan, which was given all of the land east of the river; the small area between the Jor- dan River and the Mediter- ranean Sea was parcelled out as the Jewish Homeland. The attacking Arab armies violated this in 1948-1949. The 1949 armistice line was never intended as an accept- able border, as Lord Caradon stated on public television some years ago.

MI 48011 ,41 • • • • Harriette Simons Remembered interior designer 4 181 S. Woodward Ave. Women are considerably more sensitive to family life than men, and this includes Jewish education. The men who run our congregations are too often preoccupied with budgeting, always look- ing how to "cut back." Yet, when religious school teachers' salaries suffer, so do our children. Paradoxically, the men will not "blink an eye" at spending $25 or more per hour for their child's music lesson. I believe, too, that women will move quickly respond to the influence of their young adult children than will men. My generation grew up with grandiose synagogue edifices. Today's parents of young children want the synagogue to be serviceable and practi- cal, but do not see the need for large, luxurious buildings that often place high finan- cial constraints on the syna- gogue budget, thereby caus- ing continuous increase in dues. The future of women in Jewish life represents a half- full glass, rather than half- empty. Our Jewish women have magnificent and ex- traordinary talent, but to achieve our status success, we are going to have to work extra hard and apply that extra bit of energy and zest.
