for instance. "Federation
began to ask us at budget
hearings to look at our long-
range projections," recalls
Alvin Kushner.
Leon Cohan admits that
there have been tensions with
the Federation in the past,
but "in the last 2Y2 years it's
been very cooperative and
respectful — of turf and in-
dividuals — on both sides."
Mark Hauser, chairman of
Federation's national and
community relations agen-
cies committee, concurs.
What brought about the
change? "Our sitting down,
talking, the change of leader-
ship at the Council to some
degree," he says. "I don't
think there was any great
amount of friction. There is
an understanding on the part
of the Council that we are ex-
ercising our fiduciary capaci-
ty with the Federation's
money."
Despite tensions, no one at
Federation is suggesting that
the Council should be scrap-
ped or absorbed by the
Federation. "In no sense does
the Federation have any
desire to change the model
under which [the Council] is
operating," says Dr. Giles.
"As we work out problems,
it will mean coming closer to
Federation," explains David
Lebenbom. "It's a more
democratic process to have
the Council the way it is and
I think the Federation agrees.
Nevertheless, sometimes
the divisions are rather
blurry between the Council's
role as a community relations
agency and the Federation's
role as a planning and fun-
ding body.
Two programs which seem
natural for the Council — the
community shaliach from
Israel and the Israel In-
dependence Day Celebration
— are both, for the first time,
under Federation auspices.
The shaliach is, by definition,
a community relations per-
son. And what is the
organization whose job it is to
distribute money to local
Jewish agencies doing
organizing a community
celebration?
"Federation has clearly
taken some steps in some
areas clearly belonging to the
Council," Cohan answers. "It
would be different if Council
was meeting its full potential.
When we are able, they would
like to see it under us."
W
e found the Council
was more respected
outside the Jewish
community than inside,"
Cohan remarks.
The cost of success with
Detroit's non-Jews obviously
has its price. For an institu-
