(,rust South of Orchard Lake) FSLIC 16 FIRST SECURITY SAVINGS BANK PHONE 338.7700 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1988 The Jewish Welfare Federa- tion Board of Governors has approved a Project Renewal partnership for Detroit with the Neot Shttzar neighbor- hood of Yavneh, Israel. Through the Allied Jewish Campaign, the community's second Project Renewal linkage will seek to raise $2,250,000. The remainder of previously raised Project Renewal Gifts — a total of $750,000 — has been ear- marked for Yavneh. Lawrence Jackier is Federation's Project Renewal chairman. Noet Shazar is expected to grow by 900 new families in the next few years, placing a significant burden on Yavneh to provide appropriate school- ing and social programs. With this Project Renewal commitment, Detroit joins eight other major com- munities which have taken on a second neighborhood. The plan for Yavneh is a comprehensive program of capital and social projects. These projects include ex- pansion of the teaching system and adaptation of facilities and equipment for this system; and raising the level of all community services. Capital projects will include a community center, day care center, social club and a sports hall. In addition, a number of social projects are contemplated. Federation has completed its $5.6 million commitment to Ramla with the creation of an endowment fund with $500,000 in previously raised . project Renewal gifts. The interest earned will provide close to $50,000 per year to maintain this com- munity's investment in Ramla's social programs and facilities. On April 18, all Detroiters in Israel are invited to an open house by the mayor of Ramla, to celebrate Israel's 40th anniversary. Young Leaders Plan Washington Meetings Effective Annual Yield • 7.75% 7.97% New Project Renewal Sister City For Detroit HOURS MON.-THURS. 9:30.4:30 FRI. 9:30.6:00 Fla OUAl HOUSING OPPORTUNITY New York — Owen Z. Perlman of Detroit, United Jewish Appeal recruitment chairman for this region, is rallying the community to register for UJA's Sixth Na- tional Young Leadership Con- ference to be held March 13-15 in Washington, D.C. "At our last conference two years ago, Detroit sent over 100 young Jewish American leaders to Washington for three days of dynamic pro- gramming and provocative speakers," Perlman said. "In 1988 we hope to double those numbers by having communi- ty members call friends and relatives to come out and register." This year's participants will hear Israel's Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and Minister of Defense Yitzhak Rabin, as well as Natan Scharansky, the freed Soviet Jewish dissi- dent, and leaders of the Ad- ministration and the Con- gress, including Senators Ed- ward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Howard Metzenbaum (D- Ohio). Participants will also attend a gala celebration in honor of Israel's 40th An- niversary, which falls on April 21st, with Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Holocaust sur- vivor and fighter for Israel's independence, and performers Theodore Bikel, Rita Moreno, and Inga Swenson.

Can a leopard change its spots? Whatever, Samuil Zivs, for years the most vociferous anti-Zionist Jew in Soviet of- ficialdom, is ardently cour- ting Jews and has visibly softened, if not gone soft, on Israel. Until it was dissolved recently, Zivs headed the Anti-Zionist Committee of the Soviet Public, an official organization that relentlessly attacked Israel, Soviet Jews seeking exit visas and those active in their behalf. Now Zivs is talking about bringing prayer books and kosher food to the USSR, organizing an exhibit of Judaica there and cultural ex- changes with Jewish com- munities in the West.
