carries with it a dual com-
mitment from our Federa-
tion."
Dr. Giles said Federation
will show that commitment
by maintaining offices in
Detroit for the Jewish Com-
munity Council, the
outreach at: iii to the general
community; and continuing
to hold board meetings
downtown on a regular basis
after a move.
"Our commitment must be
met not only with words but
with actions," Dr. Giles said.
"Wherever our central
building is, we are the Jew-
ish community of Detroit,
and we will continue to
maintain a presence in the
downtown area," Mr.
Schlussel said.
Mr. Aronson said Federa-
tion leaders will meet with
representatives from the
City of Detroit and major
business, ethnic and chari-
table groups within Detroit
to reaffirm the Jewish com-
munity's intention to sup-
port the city and strengthen
black-Jewish ties.
Still, some longtime Jew-
ish community activists are
questioning the possible
move, and some are sug-
gesting it could leave a
bitter taste among members
of the black community.
"I fully understand why
they are doing this and yet I
regret it," said Detroit
Edison Senior Vice Presi-
dent and legal counsel Leon
Cohan, a past president of
the Jewish Community
Council. "I know all of the
realities, but this is a city
with a history over the last
150 years that has been good
to the Jewish community.
We owe a considerable
amount to this city."
Lou Milgrom, who has
maintained his Mercury
Paint offices downtown, said
he has no objections to a
move but warned of
backlash from the black
community, which he said
might misinterpret the
move.
"It may very well be a wor-
thwhile move," Mr. Milgrom
said. "But I'm afraid there
may be some repercussions."
Jeff Jenks, a member of
the Jewish Community
Council who lives in Hun-
tington Woods and heads the
research division of the
State Civil Rights Commis-
sion, said he is uncomfor-
table with a move as far nor-
th as Farmington Hills.
"They shouldn't move 20
miles just to hold meetings,"
Mr. Jenks said. "I think
Federation should maintain
its presence in Detroit. The
Jewish Community Coun-
cil's presence is not enough.
"From my point of view, it
sends a bad message to the
Detroit community, and it's
a bad move."
Stanley Winkelman, who
is retired from the
Winkelman's clothing chain
but maintains a consulting
office in Detroit, said he is
saddened by the decision.
"It is very important that
the community takes extra
efforts to strengthen black-
Jewish relationships so that
the physical move when it
comes will be irrelevant,"
Mr. Winkelman said. "The
perception initially will be
that there is an appearance
of abandonment."
Detroit Mayor Coleman
Young declined to comment,
but Paul Hubbard, president
of New Detroit Inc., said a
Federation move to the
suburbs would leave some
sour feelings among the
black community.
"The Federation building
means there is a Jewish
presence in Detroit," Mr.
Hubbard said. "I don't know
how much of an impact this
would have on the black
community. It would be a
negative, but I don't think it
is a major confrontational
issue."
Detroit Urban League
President Charles Anderson
said the building is a state-
ment and a commitment to
Detroit. "I would love to see
as much organizational
presence stay in the city as
possible," Mr. Anderson
said. "Some people will say
the Jewish community is no
different than others by
abandoning Detroit. I would
be hard pressed to find a way
to disagree with it." ❑
