200 are actively involved
with the group. Of these, she
estimates 40 percent are
graduate students and 50
percent are affiliated with
the university as profes-
sionals. Only about 5-10 per-
cent of the students are from
Detroit or Ann Arbor, she
says.
The third group, the JCC
Singles, tries to provide a so-
cial context for those who
have been working, have
grown children and a circle
of established friends, but
are now either divorced or
widowed, says Erica Gordon,
former JCC director for that
club and the Outing Club.
Those who have never mar-
ried also are welcome.
JCC Singles participants
often are "just looking for
friendship and for someone
to go to the movies with, not
emotional entanglements,"
says Ms. Gordon, who is now
a fund-raiser for a profes-
sional society. She says the
Singles club has about 200
on its mailing list.
There is a stigma about
singles groups, she says,
with participants perceived
gles dances at the West
Bloomfield JCC) a little in-
timidating," she says.
Ms. Budow feels the job
should have "a bigger com-
mitment as far as hours are
concerned.
"My sense is, there is so
much potential here for
more programming," she
said.
But even with the organ-
izations, Ann Arbor still
doesn't have all the answers
for Jewish singles.
For one thing; middle-aged
Jewish women might find it
"tougher to be a middle-aged
single-parent in Ann Arbor
because people think of Ann
Arbor as a 'young' town,"
says Miriam Shaw, 48, a
divorced mother of two col-
lege students.
"A man who would be of
suitable age for me to date
might also be on campus
considering female graduate
students," she says, because
men have a wider age range
in selecting female compa-
nions. 0
"My sense is, there
is so much
potential here for
more
programming."
Jewish singles are invited
to hear "Current Events in
the Middle East," a discussion
program sponsored by the
Jewish Community Center,
7:30 p.m. Feb. 5 at the Maple-
Drake building.
Rabbi Avraham Jacobovitz
of Machon L'Torah will
discuss prophecies in Jewish
thought.
The event is co-sponsored by
the JCC's singles and
cultural arts departments.
There is no charge, but reser-
vations are required. Call the
JCC, Ext. 347 or 352, to
register.

as "people who are looking
to get married, people with a
sense of desperation."
But once newcomers see
"that everybody is relaxed
and having a good time, they
too enjoy themselves."
When Ms. Gordon, who
was in a part-time role, left
the JCC, Ms. Gelman and
some 19 others worked hard
to convince the JCC board to
hire a successor. "I've found
that if you're not a member
of temple, it's hard to meet
Jewish people," Outing Club
member Sherrie Frank told
them. "Until I joined, I
hadn't felt a part of the Jew-
ish community since I was a
teen-ager."
The new part-time singles
coordinator, Gwen Budow, is
a native of Huntington
Woods who previously serv-
ed as director of graduate
professional programs for
Hillel in Chicago. A social
worker who earned her
master's at U-M, she says
her office gets calls regularly
from Jewish singles groups,
including older singles, in
Toledo, Flint and Grand
Rapids asking to come to
Ann Arbor events. "They
