If we have thin soup, the Eu- ropeans say it's like dishwater." According to a 1988 survey, 67 percent of the JFA residents were foreign- born. But 75 percent of the foreign-born came to the United States before 1940. Seventy-two percent of the residents were female, 28 percent were male. Seventy percent were widowed, 16 percent single, 8 percent divorced and six percent married. The new Teitel building has an ethnic flavor, with 29 recent Soviet emigres in its 149 units. During the rental period, Mrs. Levine recalls a Soviet family "so excited to be able to choose between three apartment styles." The differences in the units are minimal, she says, but the family spent 11/2 hours going from one unit to the next, using a 10-year-old granddaughter as translator. Choice was not an option in the Soviet Union. JFA asked for special Fed- eration funding to hire a part-time translator for the new Soviet residents. The translator explains how the Teitel building works and how to become involved in other programs and the Jew- ish community. In addition to English classes at the ad- jacent Morris JCC, classes have been held inside Teitel. Federation Apartments is planning future, but limited, growth. Federal funds for subsidized housing have dried up. The $7 million Teitel building was compen- sation for nearby private apartment units removed during the construction of the 1-696 freeway. Even to- day, Mrs. Naimark says, housing managers across the country marvel that the government kept its promise to Oak Park officials and community leaders. The planned addition to Hechtman in West Bloom- field will be privately fund- ed. Much of the funds will come from leftover monies in the original grant from Samuel and Lillian Hechtman. The new units will be for persons with too high an income to qualify for subsidized housing, but not enough income to live in West Bloomfield. "We have a population out there that needs this hous- ing," Mrs. Naimark says. "They want to be closer to their children. They hope their children will visit more, but of course that isn't always the case." In the midst of new con- struction, JFA is also undergoing change. Dr. Martin Hollander, a former Oak Park middle school principal who has been assistant executive director of JFA and administrator of Hechtman since the building opened, retired this month. And Mrs. Naimark is plann- ing to retire in January 1992. But before she leaves, Mrs. Naimark and the JFA board want to address the issues of aging in place, codifying building and personnel poli- cies. And if she had a wish list, it would include more quality-of-life programs for the residents, more transportation and a kosher food subsidy. "I want to be able , to leave and feel that everything is beseder, for the best," Mrs. Naimark says. Bertha Billet agrees. The Prentis Federation Apart- ments resident waited near- ly 51/2 years for a JFA apartment. A Holocaust survivor who lived in Ger- many and the Soviet Union after World War II, Mrs. Billet says "living here is the second happiest event in my life. Only coming to America was a happier event." ' 1""""INEWS Demographic Breakdown Of 1990's Olim Tel Aviv (JTA) — The Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv recently published a demo- graphic study of the 150,000 Soviet olim who arrived in Israel through Nov. 30, 1990. The largest number, 48,281, were from the Ukraine, followed by 35,014 from the Russian republic. The Central Asian repub- lics provided 21,125 of the newcomers; Byelorussia, 18,850; Moldavia, 10,045; Georgia and the Caucasus, 9,514; and the Baltic states — Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia — 6,370. Non-professionals were the largest category by occupa- tion, numbering 51,488. There were 20,636 engi- neers, 12,239 factory workers, 8,332 clerks, 5,044 doctors, 4,262 artists and 3,653 nurses. Women outnumbered men by 78,624 to 70,575. The largest single age bracket were the 27,153 immigrants between age 35 and 44. Next largest were the 25,524 olim between 16 and 34.
