B'nai Moshe

Continued from Page 1

Sandra Draur responded,
"That's totally nonsense. It's
not the truth. I hate to see
these type of things happen.
We have to vote just on the
merits of the project. I can't
approve a project because I
like the people."
Ungar said she hopes the
situation will be resolved
before the congregation's
latest one-month option to
purchase the site expires
Feb. 21.
"We're not very happy
about it," said Ungar, referr-
ing to the township's deci-
sion. "But we will pursue it.
We hope the court will give
us the verdict we want."
However, the township's
decision will not affect the
synagogue's plans to sell its
facility at Ten Mile and
Church roads in Oak Park
for $1.6 million to United
Jewish Charities. Ungar ex-
pects the closing on that deal
to happen next week.
According to the closing
agreement, the congregation
will leave the building by
June 30, Ungar said.
The synagogue received a
proposal this week from the
Jimmy Prentis Morris Jew-

ish Community Center to
use the center for services
and classes, but has no room
to provide the synagogue
with offices. Because she just
received the proposal, Ungar
would not comment on it.
Temple Emanu-El is still
deciding if it wants to use
the B'nai Moshe building
when the congregation
leaves, said Jack Nolish, the
temple's future planning
committee chairman.
"There is no question that
we need classroom space,"
Nolish said. The temple is
using the JPM Center for
Hebrew school classes.
But taking over B'nai
Moshe's building is not the
only option for the temple.
The temple has enough land
at its present site to build
additional classrooms at the
facility, Nolish said.
The future planning com-
mittee is meeting every
three weeks to discuss the
issue, but no decisions have
been made, said Nolish, ad-
ding he does not know when
the committee will make its
recommendation to the tem-
ple members. ❑

Papers Name Ostroff
Editorial Coordinator

Ron Ostroff has been named
to the new position of edito-
rial coordinator for the
weekly newspaper group of
the Baltimore Jewish Times,
The Jewish News of Detroit
and the Atlanta Jewish
Times. He will be based in
Baltimore.
The position was created to
better coordinate the three
operations so that the com-
bined resources of the news-
papers are used most effi-
ciently.
Ostroff, 35, had been a
business writer covering
aerospace, defense and avia-
tion for the Daily News of
Los Angeles since August of
1987. For a year prior to
that, he was a general
assignment reporter for the
Daily News.
Ostroff, a lawyer, has also
been law editor and U.S.
Supreme Court reporter for
The Los Angeles Daily Jour-
nal, and legal affairs writer
and a metropolitan reporter
for five and one-half years
with The Kansas City Times
in Kansas City, Mo.
He was one of the first
reporters for the weekly Na-
tional Law Journal and was
the law columnist for the
monthly business magazine
New Jersey Success for eight
years. His writing has ap-
peared in more than 100

newspapers and magazines
around the country. In addi-
tion, he practiced law in
New Jersey for one year.
Last year, Ostroff received
a national writing award

Ron Ostroff

from the Aviation/Space
Writers Association for an
article comparing the
Wright Brothers' agreement
with the government for the
first military airplane to
today's complicated contrac-
ting processes. In 1981, the
Kansas Bar Association
gave Ostroff its news media
award for a series on
lawyers.
