T
he Jewish Welfare
Federation of Metro-
politan Detroit is giv-
ing a boost to adult Jewish
education with its new Makor
program.
Slated to begin in the fall,
Makor (Hebrew for source)
will encourage adults, both
individuals and communal
leaders, to undertake a
minimum of 18 hours of
Jewish studies, including
Talmud, Jewish history,
Hebrew and religious
observance.
Adults are enrolling now
via pledge cards distributed
by the Federation. Those who
sign up will receive a quarter-
ly newsletter which includes
courses by category, adults
participating in the program,
the organizing committee, a
pledge card or form and basic
information.
Makor was devised by
Federation's two-year-old
leadership development com-
mittee. It was available at
first only to communal
leaders and later expanded to
include the entire Jewish
community.
Each of the participating
agencies, among them
synagogues, temples, univer-
sities, private study groups
and the Midrasha, will deter-
mine their own fee schedules.
To date, 10 organizations and
agencies have submitted
their course schedules for the
fall and another 10 or 15 are
anticipated, said Michelle
Passon, director of the leader-
ship development
department.
The purpose of the Makor
program is multi-fold, she ex-
plained. It aims to insure that
future communal decision
making is based on Jewish
values; to support Jewish
educational institutions and
synagogues in the local com-
munity; to foster a positive
relationshp between Federa-
tion and community agencies
and organizations; and to pro-
vide the adult Jewish popula-
tion with an added opportuni-
ty for participation in Jewish
communal life.
"It's not a program to make
people more religious,"
Passon said. "It was created
for adults to understand the
source of Jewish values. It's
an added way to ensure that
we make decisions according
to Jewish values."
Makor is open to any
Jewish individual and
organization. Even the Makor
administrative committee
represents a cross section of
the Jewish community. "We
want to make it have a
pluralistic appeal," Passon
noted.
The Makor committee is
headed by Dr. Claude
Schochet and James August.
Although it is still in forma-
tion, the committee current-
ly includes Federation Presi-
dent Dr. Conrad Giles, leader-
ship development committee
chairman Peter Alter; and
Harvey Bronstein, Dr. Ken-
neth Chelst, Joseph Colten,
Barbara Cook, Dr. Nancy
Gad-Harf, Rabbi William
Gershon, Patricia Gusman,
Sharon Hart, Linda Lee,
Beverly Liss, Judy Loebl,
Sherri Lumberg, Alicia
Nelson, Marvin Shwedel,
Allan Steinmetz and Jessie
Stern.
The committee is charged
with providing ideas, support,
ways to market the program
and an evaluation "to see
that the project achieves the
objectives we thought it
would," August said.
Many synagogues and
temples don't organize their
programs until after the High
Holidays, and the committee
is trying to encourage them to
finalize their plans earlier so
they can get their courses
listed in summertime publici-
ty, he added.
To date, 60 adults have
enrolled in the program. All
who have pledged will receive
the newsletter. Volunteers
have been enlisted to promote
the program to various agen-
cies and organizations
throughout the community.
Participants will annually
be asked to provide the
leadership development
department with the courses
they have completed. Their
achivements will be listed in
all Makor promotional
materials.
August is enthusiastic
about Makor. "It has great
value for us individually and
communally. It has terrific
concepts, it's a terrific pro-
gram and I'm excited about
it."
