The New Israel Fund (NEE) Award was established in 1985 to recognize outstanding repor- ting by an individual whose coverage of Israel improves the public's understanding of the social problems and the democratic process in contem- porary Israel. A panel of distinguished judges was co-chaired by David Shipler of the New York Times and Wolf Blitzer, Washington correspondent for the Jerusalem Post and a number of American Jewish publica- tions, including The Jewish News. The Baltimore Jewish Times is the only American Jewish publication to have been cited in the two years of competition for the New Israel Fund Award.

HOURS: 9-5:30 OR CALL FOR A SPECIAL APPOINTMENT ANYTIME MON/FRI, 9-3 SAT 4 Friday, June 19, 1987 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Rabbi Irwin Groner Rabbi Irwin Groner, spiritual leader of Cong. Shaarey Zedek, has been elected first vice presi- dent of the Synagogue Council of America, the national asso- ciation of rabbinic and congre- gational branches of Conser- vative, Orthodox and Reform Judaism. In his new capacity, Rabbi Groner said he will "work close- ly with the president of the SCA — Rabbi Gilbert Klaper- man — to formulate positions and policies on major issues confronting the synagogue com- munity." Rabbi Groner has been with Shaarey Zedek since 1959 and became its rabbi in 1967. As the first vice president, Rabbi Groner said having a Detroiter on the national SCA board would be a boon to Detroit Jewry. He said the SCA `can help define and shape" a response to issues affecting Detroit Jewry. Specifically, he said on the issue of a Jewish hospice for Detroit, which he called a priority issue for himself, the SCA has a working partnership with a national hospice organization which would benefit advocates of a Jewish hospice here.
