Efforts like this should have been initiated decades ago. Yet underlying this gesture of humanitarian solidarity may be an irrefutable reality that there is just no place anymore for our community to run. Like it or not the word is "run." In four decades of ex- periencing "Detroit," heard so frequently were lamentations of "the area is played out, the neighborhood is changing, the schools are not as good." If anyone had indeed follow- ed the recent Detroit News five-day series of land gobbl- ing and community abandon- ment, the reality of it is that it concerns the Jewish com- munity, not just others. Like others we are also to blame. We race to build fashionable addresses on virgin land, sprout commercial strips and office emporiums, party in all of this newness and abandon _ it in 25 years, only to repeat the cycle again and again. Our synagogues, shuls, temples either follow or lead, depending on their persua- .sion. When that "time-to- move" comes yet again, what are the reasons? Include the nonsense of an aging building needing too many repairs. "Let's sell and build a new one" just like a car. Contrast this insanity with hundreds of Jewish communities in these United States that are many, many decades older and thrive without moving. Too often heard from friends in non-Jewish communities are "the Jews of Southfield, of West Bloomfield." We are known for the quality of our possessions and not the con- tent of our character. We know who and what we are and stand for but rather display a self-defeating image to our fellow citizens. One day school here in- itiated some years back another bridge building pro- gram "to learn about other cultures" — visit a Detroit school. It was thought to mean another country. It was a good program, initiated by good people, but rooted in hypocrisy. While teaching our kids to Barry Silver lives in Oak Park. - appreciate other people we send them a more powerful, enduring message. When a black or Middle East family moves in it's time to move out. Isn't this called equal (or less) but separate? The contention is that run- ning should not be part of our character. Bridge building should be done on 12 Mile Road. There should and could be a strong, vibrant, sizeable community (of every Jewish persuasion) in what is a good city — Southfield, not to men- tion Oak Park and Hunting- ton Woods — and not just a sizeable community of senior citizen housing. The message we sent to blacks and others is that we are city and government manipulators (for our perceiv- ed length of stay) and foreign- aid eaters instead of the responsible and contributing people we are and for which we should be more outspoken- ly known, not just at the elected level but from every level of citizenry and clergy. Black/Jewish friction stems — in part — from just such attitudes. A deliberate, earnest effort at dismantling this perpetual wandering disposition would contribute positive images towards a healthier Jewish/ black/other relationship and help dispel what is indeed a lot of myth about us. We should be reminded right now that friction between Jews and gentiles in this country translates into adverse, negative perspectives of and policies towards Israel as well. It gives the Jesse Jacksons, Pat Buchanans and Wendell Anthonys lots of am- munition — all Made-in-the- USA. Made in Detroit. This change in attitude has to start in our established communities, in every Jewish home. Now. One should marvel at Beth Shalom's out- standing programs to bring in people — young families — the stuff of synagogue sur- vival and neighborhood enhancement. Good manage- ment sense which is incum- bent of committed executive directors, ego-less officers (and there are many), and dynamic clergy make the difference. B'nai Moshe, with due respect, suffered a slow demise in Oak Park for lack of doing what was ac- complished only blocks away, also in Oak Park — not because the neighborhood Continued on Page 13
