WHAT IS THE C.O.R.? A MESSAGE FROM THREE COMMUNITY LEADERS Dr. Conrad Giles U.S. Senator Carl Levin Paul Borman 1986 Askin Tzibburi Awardee General Chairman 57th Anniversary Banquet Community to our people has always meant more than the sharing of common geographic boundries. A shared goal. a joint purpose and the united efforts of communal activity have maintained the vibrancy of Jewish life throughout the millenia. The Council of Orthodox Rabbis' goal in seeking to preserve traditional Jewish values is a very praiseworthy one. By supporting them. we stress the unity of our community and the aspiration of our common goal. President, Jewish Welfare Federation The Council of Orthodox Rabbis of Greater Detroit are unique, not only because they represent the active involvement of the united Orthodox community, but because their interest and endeavors are on behalf of the entire Jewish people. Our survival as a national viable and ever growing institution, is their foremost goal. Through the eyes of communal leadership, I have seen first hand the efforts and funds that they have expended in maintaining the traditional lifeline of our people. Their activities cover every gamut of Jewish life all in the sincerest of hopes that the maintenance of traditional Jewish values as well as the communal support for the Jewish family as an inviolable institution will keep the promise of the external existence of our people. For more than half a century. the Detroit Jewish Community has benefitted from the singularly authoritative leadership of the Council of Orthodox Rabbis. The dynamic work of the Council has made Detroit a community with the highest standard of observance in a unified atmosphere with definite goals. Regardless of one's personal affiliation, he cannot help but benefit from the forthright work of the Vaad Harobonim. The absence of of competitive strife, so prevalent in splintered communities. is due in large measures to the determination of the Council to keep the Detroit Jewish Community among the finest in the quality of its religious observance and standards. The vitality of your faith is enhanced by their presence. We call on you to unite in supporting their efforts on our behalf.
