Bernard follows a long line of former YAD presidents, beginning with Maurice Glasier, who have since gone on to distinguish themselves in various fields. These in- clude, in chronological order: Jacob Keidan, • David Goldman, Sol Schwartz, Dr. Samuel Krohn, Lawrence Fleischman, Albert Colman, Milton Lucow, Leo Majzels, Avern Cohn, Norman Katz, Arthur Rubiner, William Wetsman, Alan Luckoff, Daniel Honigman, Fred Keidan, Louis Stern, Joel Tauber, Barry Yaker, Ivan Boesky, Maida Portnoy. Recent presidents include: Michael Hermanoff, Allan Nachman, Stanley Frankel, Michael Maddin, Robert Slatkin, Robert Rubin, Bur- ton Farbman, - Edward Lumberg, Richard Maddin, Neil Satovsky, Jeffrey Bonin, Jonathan Jaffa, Kenneth Safran, Benjamin Rosenthal, James Deutchman, James Safran, Julie Borim, Jeffrey Howard, David Liner, Betsy Heuer and Norman Beitner. In its early years, YAD had a smaller focus than it does today. The only programming involved the Allied Jewish Campaign solicitations, and members sat on boards of Federation agencies. lbday, the scope of YAD has widen- ed to include educational op- portunities, social events, political and community awareness projects, leader- ship development and mis- sions to Israel. Albert Colman, president from 1949 to 1950, recalled that the establishment of the State of Israel was the major focal point of the group dur- ing his tenure. "There was a lot of enthusiasm engendered by the State of Israel," at- torney Colman said. "It was a momentous occasion for Jews all around the world to close - ranks." Since his presidency, Colman said he has seen the division grow enormously, especially in its Allied Jewish Campaign drive. "The scope of it, in terms of sheer money raised is dramatic . . . It is a much broader based group." World War II slowed YAD activities for a while, but by the end of the war the group was reactivated with a Sup- plies for Overseas Survivors project. The 1950s brought a name change — from the Junior Section of the Detroit Service Group to the Junior Division — and incorporation into the Federation. AJCampaigning was done face to face and stay- at-home days were scheduled so that members could be met . by a solicitor. Attorney Nor- man Katz, who directed the division from 1953 to 1954, said his mission was to em- phasize the "Israeli aspect" of the group, but equally impor- tant was the educational pro- gramming, fund raising and personal involvement. "We wanted the involvement of numbers, " Katz explained. "We wanted to get them (members) involved in the community. We had a real drive to get people involved. We wanted their spirit." "They could contribute as a solicitor and participate in concerns." That spirit continued into the '60s, and so did Junior Division involvement in Jewish communal service. The division added a six-week tutorial program for disad- vantaged children to its list of 'activities. Allan Nachman, senior real estate partner in a law firm who presided over the division in 1968-1969, recalls the Burnie Bird pro- ject the group undertook. Members of the division went to schools to teach children about fire prevention. But, the group made other strides as well. According to Nachman, the group opened its board meetings to non-members and a social aspect was add- ed. When the group made a special appeal to Jewish singles, Nachman said the numbers "started to grow." "One of the purposes (of Junior Division) is to meet other Jewish people," Nachman said. He called the special effort to attract singles a "positive step which helped sustain the thrust of the division." Lillian Bernstein, division director from 1966 to 1981, said the 1960s were signifi- cant to the division in terms of raising the social con- sciousness of its members. "There were changes taking place, in Israel, the United States, including Vietnam," she said. "What was taking place locally and overseas was affecting their lives and they began to respond to the needs of the Jewish people . . . Peo- ple whose families were not involved in the organized Jewish community became active in the division. They cauld contribute as a solicitor and participate in communi- ty concerns." There was another compo- nent that made the division special, she said. It had wide appeal. "There's a place for everyone, regardless of
