need, Home for Aged officials
have not "unveiled their wish
list for care for the Jewish
elderly" as stated on the front
page of the May 25 Jewish
News. The article goes on to
state, as absolute plans, ideas
that are contained in a
preliminary master plan
developed by staff, but not yet
approved by the Home's board
of directors or the communi-
ty's leaders.
Specifically: 1) The number
of beds to be constructed has
not yet been determined. 2)
Paragraphs detailing pro-
grammatic options and the
number of becIS for skilled
nursing care and specialty
services mislead the com-
munity. The publication of
this detail creates expecta-
tions that may not be met
along with unnecessary fear
about the quantity of service
to be provided without taking
quality into account.
Once plans are formalized,
we will announce them to the
community with pride and
pleasure and ask for its
support.

German-Jewish
Relations Unsettled

Many supporters of the
reunification of Germany
have the impression that, at
present, Jewish-German rela-
tions are firmly settled. Un-
fortunately, the fact remains
that on the critical issue of
Israel's survival the Germans
are sorely wanting.
German scientists, techni-
cians and industrialists are
involved in almost every pro-
ject to develop tools of mass
destruction to be used against
the Jewish state. Libya to this
day enjoys German help in its
poison gas project. Germans
are helping Iraq build
biochemical and nuclear
weapons as well as the
missile systems to deliver
these weapons to Israel's
doorstep.
If Germany really wants to
convince the Jewish people
that it has once and for all
turned away from its wretch-
ed past, it should take im-
mediate action to prevent
German nationals and com-
panies from helping Israel's
enemies in their efforts to
"finish Hitler's work?'

Jewish Educators Plan
Regional Conference

SUSAN GRANT

n an attempt to motivate
local and regional Heb-
rew school teachers, the
Jewish Educators Council of
Metropolitan Detroit plans a
conference tentatively set
for next January.
Council President Joseph
Poisson said organizers will
include educational
workshops and exhibits
designed to improve
teachers' classroom skills.
Poisson is not sure what
topics will be covered in the
day-long Coalition for the
Advancement of Jewish Ed-
ucation mini-conference.
Survey forms have been sent
to area teachers, asking
them what they would like
to discuss.
"We want to see what
every school's needs are,"
Poisson said. "We will be
flexible in planning this."
The regional CAJE con-
ference will concentrate on
local concerns. National
issues will be discussed
when Jewish educators from
around the United States

gather during a five-day
CAJE conference in mid-
August in Columbus, Ohio.
About 100 local teachers
plan to attend the national
gathering.
Jewish educators from
Michigan, Illinois, Ohio,
Pennslyvania and Ontario
have been invited to the

"We want to show
children that
Judaism can be
fun."
Joseph Poisson

mini-conference. Poisson ex-
pects the conference to at-
tract up to 300 teachers.
A tentative date of Jan. 27
has been set. Organizers are
negotiating with the David
Oppenheim Family
Teachers Institute, which
holds an annual educational
program, to sponsor the
mini-CAJE conference.
"We hope the conference
will provide incentives to
teachers," Poisson said. He
wants teachers to take what
they learn back to the
classroom and make edu-
cation fun again.
