What about assigning
reporters to research the cur-
rent status of physical access
to various Jewish community
buildings, including syna-
gogues, federation offices, and
beneficiary agencies. Say "kol
ha kavod" to those which are
most accessible (including
several synagogues that have
recently completed or are in
the process of making major
improvements in accessibili-
ty). Spur those that are not,
to make the necessary
changes.
Help mobilize the Jewish
community to lobby in Lans-
ing for the state funding that
makes or breaks the existing
programs and allows or blocks
new ones from starting up.
Invite Jewish adults with
disabilities, parents of
children with disabilities, and
Jewish professionals who
work in the field of special
needs to come in for a series
of brainstorming sessions to
develop even more ideas for
ways in which- The Jewish
News can create a more
positive attitude in-house and
encourage the community to
do the same. As the only
Detroit Jewish newspaper,
you have a pivotal role to play
in changing attitudes.
Finally, a cautionary word.
Attitudes are a key element of
change, but anyone who
thinks (or hopes) that com-
munity responsibility can
stop there is sadly mistaken.
Although it is way out in
front in terms of residential
care for adults with
developmental disabilities,
the Detroit Jewish communi-
ty lags far behind in develop-
ing programs for children
with special needs and their
families. There is a lot to be
done, and it is going to cost
real money. So will physical
adaptations to Jewish com-
munity buildings, from the
bimah to the bathroom to the
front curb.
Adaptive recreation pro-
grams, expanded oppor-
tunities for special needs
Jewish education, support
groups, respite care, special
needs Family Camp, assistive
devices for people who have
hearing loss or sight impair-
ment, handrails, elevators,
curb cuts, wider doors, in-
terior ramps — all this and

much more will be required
before we can truly say that
we are meeting our respon-
sibility, as Jews, for our fellow

Having Input
With The Israelis
Thank you for "Judging
Israel When Times Are
Tough" (Oct. 19).
Sharona Shapiro of the
American Jewish Committee
offered an excellent idea with
her suggestion of contacting
the Israeli consulate to
discuss unclear or troubling
Israeli actions as reported in
the media. This gives
American Jews channels for
expression, but also enables
us to "keep it in the family,"
with the hope that ac-
cumulated opinions will
make their way to the top
echelons in Israel.
The Israeli consulate's ad-
dress in Chicago is 111 East
Wacker Dr., Chicago, Ill.
60601. The consul's name is
Uri Bar-Ner, and I bet that
hearing from us would ease
his job of trying to com-
municate American senti-
ment to his bosses in Israel.

Host Event
The Young Adult Division
of the Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion will hold its fifth annual
volunteer event Dec. 25.
Committee members and
other volunteers will visit the
Jewish Home for Aged's Bor-
man Hall and Prentis Manor,
the Harriet and Ben Teitel
Federation Apartments and
Sinai Hospital.
After meeting at 9 a.m. for
breakfast at the Teitel Apart-
ments at the Jewish Com-
munity Campus in Oak Park,
volunteers will divide into
four groups.
At Borman Hall and Pren-
tis Manor, volunteers will
organize a large bingo game
for residents and escort them
to lunch.
Activities at Sinai Hospital
will include visiting with pa-.
tients, assisting in the
nursery and helping with
non-medical needs in the
emergency room.
Those remaining will have
brunch with residents of
Teitel Apartments and play
games organized by the
building's staff.
For information about par-
ticipating in the volunteer
event, call the Young Adult
Division office, 965-3939.
