Hoc- kenburg says that, come warmer weather, they may plan a backyard barbecue and invite their immediate neighbors. "I don't sense any hostility, and it may be that the cold weather is a factor right now." Mikhail was among the first six residents to move in when Kadimah opened. He says, "When I first came to Kadimah my Jewishness was not all that important to me. But since I've been here it has become more and more important. I read the books now and follow the prayers." Other residents are com- fortable with the fact that it is a Jewish home, but at least one resident says she can take it or leave it. Jill, viv- acious and bubbly on this day, with an impish sense of humor, says, "I'm glad I'm Jewish because it got me into Kadimah. I like the nanie, `Kadimah,' and I like it be- cause everyone is so nice." But, she admits, she turns up her nose at most kosher food. "I eat it most of the time," she says, "but I'd rather be cooking it than eating it." On weekdays the residents all have outside activities that take them away from Kadimah. Some have part- time jobs and some go to SOLEC — Suburban Oakland Life Enrichment. Center — for skills training. Kadimah's own van trans- ports the residents when they need or want to go some- where. Several of the resi- dents, who range in age from 20 to 40, have their own cars at home but are not permit- ted to keep them at Kadimah. Hockenburg says several of them go to their parents' homes on weekends but can- not stay overnight. "This is home," she says, "and they have to realize that coming in." To further establish the feeling of "home," Kadimah asks the new residents not to visit families or friends for the first month. "Most of them don't mind," Hocken- burg says. "They understand what we're trying to do — and we do become like family here. It's exciting because the residents see' themselves as part of the program in its in- fancy and they're growing with it. They're really proud of Kadimah." Hockenburg estimates the average length of stay for residents will be about 18 months. The Kadimah project is looking for another home to open by the end of this year. Future plans are to build an apartment house so that group home residents — including those at Kadimah — can move on to semi- independent living. ❑ RESUMES LETTERS RESUMES THE WRITE WORD If you find the right gift a chore And written words don't flow for you, Let the "write words" from my pen pour, To make a portrait fresh and new.
