WHAT IS THE COR?
A MESSAGE FROM THREE
COMMUNITY LEADERS
PAUL BORMAN
Chairman, 58th Anniversary Dinner
The Council of Orthodox Rabbis is a community institution as well as
an ideal. Throughout the thousands of years of our existence as a peo-
ple the bond of our nation has been the community institutions that
serve as a reminder just how important our identity as Jews really is.
The COR with the active united cooperation of the twenty-five Rabbis
who volunteer their time, efforts and scholarship are committed to main-
taining the principles of Jewish practice. Their continued involvement
in every aspect of Jewish life and their care for the individual and com-
munal needs of Jews in this city regardless of personal orientation,
make it incumbent upon every one of us to actively support their ef-
forts. I look forward to seeing each and every one of you at the up-
coming banquet.

SERVING DETROIT'S JEWISH COMMUNITY
THE

OF THE

President, Jewish Welfare Federation
The Council of Orthodox Rabbis of Greater Detroit, has enriched
our community through its perpetuation of traditional Jewish values.
The active role the Council plays is a vital one: Its delegation thru the
vibrancy of Jewish Life reaches the entire Jewish community. .
As an important part of our unique community, the Council of Or-
thodox Rabbis has been a strong voice for the very finest aspects of
Jewish tradition. The love of Torah and family and the commitment
to helping our people where ever there is need. Through my years of
involvement in communal life, I have been privileged to witness the
Council's role in the growth and cohesiveness of the Orthodox
community.
The Jewish Welfare Federation looks forward to continued
cooperative efforts such as the Neighborhood Project and others, which
unite our Detroit Jewish family.

Community to our people has always meant more than the shar-
ing of common geographic boundaries. A shared goal, a joint purpose
and the united efforts of communal activity have maintained the vibran-
cy of Jewish life through the millenia.
By supporting them, we stress the unity of our community and
the aspiration of our common goal.
