in partnership with the
Jewish Welfare Federation to
make resources available for
special community needs.
Board members aproved
$97,300 for four experimental
projects from the UJC's Max
M. Fisher Jewish Communi-
ty Foundation. Three of the
projects — a care manage-
ment program for the frail
elderly living at home, a
University of Michigan train-
ing program for Jewish com-
munal service personnel and
a weekend learning program
for Hillel Day School
graduates — are continua-
tions of pilot programs fund-
ed last year by the Fisher
Foundation.
A fourth foundation-funded
program is the new "Dis-
covery Room" at the Jewish
Community Center, a hands-
on activity center for young
children and their parents
featuring Jewish symbols,
multi-media resources, pro-
jects and other activities to
foster identity and affiliation.
Detroit is one of five ex-
perimental communties selec-
ted to participate in this
project.
United Jewish Charities ap-
proved $10,000 as seed money

American-Israel Education
Institute of Michigan, which
will reach out to the state's
business community and
enhance awareness of Israel
in the general community.
Fourth-year funding for the
Otzma Jewish Service Corps
was approved by United
Jewish Charities. Twenty
young Detroiters have spent
a year in Israel with Otzma,
and eight more will leave by
the end of this month to
study, travel and participate
in service projects. A total of
$25,000 was granted for the
subsidized program.
Another program which en-
courages young people to
choose Jewish communal ser-
vice careers — the Federation
Executive
Recruitment
Educational
Program
(FEREP) — was allocated
$25,000. FEREP, which is
operated by the national
Council of Jewish Federa-
tions, offers financial
assistance for students in
graduate programs in Jewish
communal service.
The Center for Judaic

for its second year of program-
ming, including visiting
scholars, teacher training
seminars and classes.
With $12,500 in UJC funds,
a Raoul Wallenberg Medal
and Lecture in the

the University of Michigan.
The grant will help establish

lecture and graduate
fellowship perpetuating
Wallenberg's humanitarian
values and the cause of
human rights.
In other action, United
Jewish Charities approved a
budget of $165,000 for The
Neighborhood Project, whose
interest-free loans have
enabled more than 270 per-
sons to purchase homes in
Oak Park and Southfield.
UJC allocated $25,000 for
the community shaliach
(Israel Resource Center) pro-
gram, which has completed
two years under Federation
auspices. The program has ex-
panded Israel-overseas rela-
tionships and reached out to
adults and young people.
Funding for all these pro-
grams comes out of earnings
from United Jewish Charities
investments, as well as con-
tributions and earnings from
UJC's Federated Endowment
Fund.
