And metro Detroit Jewish singles events organizers couldn't be happier. "They were lined up around the corner," said Jamie Rabinowitz, the West Bloomfield mother of two college students who organized a holiday reunion for the 21-to-30-something set Nov. 22 at Metropolitan Musicafe in Royal Oak. The 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. event, en- dorsed by several Reform temples and Conservative synagogues, drew nearly 600, with some waiting to get in at 1 a.m., she said. "The manager told me it was like their wildest, busiest Friday night," said Mrs. Rabinowitz. "I had parents calling me the next day saying they would pay to have a similar event for their young people on New Year's Eve, but it's too late to plan one now." The line also was long late into the night outside Carlos Murphy's in Southfield, where approximately 500 Jewish singles showed up for a social gathering co- sponsored by several Jewish organizations, including The Jewish News. Scott Mittleman of the co- ordinating Jewish Welfare Federation said this first- ever pre-Thanksgiving event by the Federation's Young Adult Division (YAD) in- cluded "about 30-40 percent college-age people." YAD membership includes both singles and marrieds from their 20s to early 40s. Mittleman said there was a line of people waiting to get in when he left the nightspot around midnight. Other sponsoring organ- izations were the Jewish Community Center's Com- munity Network for Jewish Singles and the Hillels on metro Detroit campuses and at the University of Mich- igan and Michigan State University. A third holiday weekend event, a coffeehouse for 18- to-21-year-olds Nov. 24 at Temple Israel, didn't have the same numbers, but didn't lack for enthusiasm, said Dr. Nancy Gad-Harf, the event co- ordinator. She said the coffeehouse, which featured singing by Rabbis Paul Yedwab and Norman Roman and a col- legiate group, drew about 60 people. "We were very happy to get that many on a Saturday night," said Dr. Gad-Harf, adding, "They were all so excited to see one another." Mrs. Rabinowitz said the crowd at the Metro Musicafe, which was closed to the general public for the night, was mostly a 21-to-26- year-old group that danced and reminisced and didn't start breaking up until about 1:15 a.m. She and the other parents who put the event together are considering a similar event next June. "I kept hearing these young people say, 'It's good to walk into a place and see so many faces I recognize,' " Mrs. Rabinowitz said. But the ultimate compli- ment, she said, came from her own daughter, a 21-year- old senior at the University of Wisconsin. "It was cool, Mom," said Elysa. ❑ Latke Party Set By New Horizons The City of Hope's New Horizons chapter for singles will host a latke party with a buffet dinner, 7 p.m. Dec. 9 at the Lincoln Towers clubhouse.
