Rabbi Cardozo said every-
one around him was dazed
but relatively unharmed.
Story after story began cir-
culating about families
narrowly saved from sure
death.
"On Friday night," he
said, "one man told of how
he -talked his wife into
visiting her parents after
they said Kiddush — some-
thing he'd never suggested
to her before. When they
were able to return later on,
there was nothing left of
their apartment.
"Another man related how
in all the panic, he, his wife
and kids ran from their
building and left behind
their infant daughter. She
was lying in the protective
plastic covering all babies
were supposed to :Jeep in.
When they got back, their
daughter was ;:miling
amidst a room that had
utterly collapsed."

Rabbi Cardozo, who is the
author of The Infinite Chain
and The Torah, As God Sees
It, works on Jewish
mysticism, said this last war
was nothing short of
miraculous.
"Purim never had more
meaning," he said. "The
very day Jews celebrated the
destruction of the Haman,
our enemy, was the day the
war ended and Saddam Hus-
sein was stopped." ❑

received gubernatorial ap-

Others Jewish appointees

those areas where the state
can be involved," Ms. Alex-
ander said.
The domestic violence
division also is responsible
for providing education and
training for many groups.
"This is a challenging job.
We are providing increased
awareness and helping the
family," Ms. Alexander
said. "We can at least tailor
to the needs of those women
who have been battered."
Ms. Alexander's goal is to
educate people in the state to
further crack down on do-
mestic abuse.
"The whole purpose for
creating a training program
is to make sure that the laws
we have worked hard for are
enforced," Ms. Alexander
said.
Ms. Alexander said she
will commute to Lansing
daily and will retain her seat
on the Southfield City Coun-
cil.
