THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

taught by Freeling to use the
voice synthesizer so he could
use the Lotus 1-2-3 computer
program at work.
"I'm pretty impressed with
what Neal has done," said
Chaney. "If I hadn't known the
screen review program I would
have been overwhelmed."
Freeling said he loves his
job. "It's very exciting to be
able to help people use a tool
that's really provided a second
life for me," he said.
There is a lot more to Freel-
ing after he steps away from
the computer, though. He was
elected last October to his third
three-year term on the board of
trustees of the Jewish Braille
Institute of America (JBI), an
organization with which he
has been involved since his
childhood.
The JBI was founded in 1931
and provides many free mate-
rials and services for the blind
and visually impaired, includ-
ing Braille books and periodi-
cals, recordings and counsel-
ing.
Freeling attends board
meetings at JBI's office in New
York City about three times a
year at his own expense. He is
working on a JBI committee to
review the possibility of mak-
ing the JBI's services accessi-
ble by computer.
The JBI's Braille version of
theLikrat Sluxbbat has allowed
Freeling to conduct services as
a lay leader every six weeks at
Cong. Beth Isaac.
"It's fantastic that there's
someone who can give me ac-
cess to my heritage," said
Freeling. "I want to be a re-
sponsible Jew like anyone
else."
Freeling said even though he
does not live in a Jewish area it
has always been important for
him to be involved in the
Jewish community. He and his
wife Miriam moved to Lincoln
Park in 1982 because it was a
short bus ride away from Pen-
rickton Center.
Earlier he had lived in Bir-
mingham and had to take a

SEMTA bus to Detroit to catch
another to his Taylor work-
place. "It got to be crazy," said
Freeling. "Four hours on the
bus each day was tough.
"We like Lincoln Park. We
don't feel that a place has to
define who we are." ❑

Discrimination
Compensated

New York — After a nine-
year effort spearheaded by the
Baltimore chapter of the
American Jewish Committee,
the federal government has
agreed to pay $185,000 to
Jewish employees discrimi-
nated against by the Social Se-
curity Administration (SSA).
The lawsuit against the gov-
ernment charged anti-
Semitism in the personnel
practices of the SSA. The suit
was initiated in 1978 by Robert
Hyman, a Jewish GS-13 grade
employee who had applied, un-
successfully, for promotion to a
GS-14 managerial level posi-
tion on four separate occasions.
Despite the appearance of his
name on a "best qualified list"
each time, Hyman was re-
peatedly passed over for pro-
motion.

Zionism Upheld
In Booklet

New York — "Since the end
of World War II in 1945, over
100 new states have gained
political independence . . . Yet
only one of the national libera-
tion movements, Zionism, is
continually singled out as
being 'racist' and 'illegitimate
. . .' There is a term to describe
such unjust criticism, and that
term is anti-Semitism."
So asserts Rabbi A. James
Rudin, director of interreli-
gious affairs for the American
Jewish Committee, in a book-
let. released in January.
