sther is obviously proud as she goes about her work in the locker room
of the Women's Health Club at the Jewish Community Center. A Health
Club member comes up and puts an arm around her in a motherly way.

Esther has worked hard for her accomplishments. She recently
graduated from the Janitorial Training Program at Jewish Vocational
Service, and started her first job as a housekeeper at the JCC Women's
Health Club.

Esther feels a new sense of self-worth in her new job. She's not alone. Last year, Jewish
Vocational Service helped nearly 6,000 persons find employment, make career decisions and
increase their potential. More than 100 of them were developmentally disabled adults who
were placed in community-based employment sites, enabling them to lead independent,
productive lives in the community.

or 88-year-old Aron, living at Prentis Towers of Jewish Federation
Apartments means being able to walk to his synagogue twice a day.

It also means enjoying a hot kosher meal daily and being surrounded by
people he knows in a Jewish neighborhood, which Aron says is very
important to him.

At Prentis Towers, he can also walk to the Jewish Community Center to
take part in the many activities and day trips offered for seniors. His family
is one of Aron's greatest joys; he has eight grandchildren and one great-
granddaughter.

As a Jewish Welfare Federation agency, Jewish
Federation Apartments receives Campaign funds
for the kosher meal served daily at Prentis Towers
in Oak Park and Hechtman Apartments in West
Bloomfield. The kitchen at Prentis Towers is also
used to prepare kosher meals for the daily Meals-
on-Wheels program sponsored by the National
Council of Jewish Women Greater Detroit Section
and Jewish Family Service.
