what the Home provides to
its residents, and that envi-
ronment should be desirable
to those who can afford the
services.
"I would hope that when
families consider nursing
home care for their aged
relatives, they would look to
the quality of life they want
to provide for their loved
ones and consider first the
Jewish Home."
"It's basically an economic
question," Home Vice Presi-
dent Michael Pearlman said.
Over the last few years, be-
cause Medicaid reim-
bursement was poor at best,
we were looking at a situa-
tion where we had to get a
special subvention from
United Jewish Charities and
Federation. When you are
looking at Medicaid reim-
bursements, one can see how
it can put a burden on the
Home. And when you com-
pound that with the locations
that adds a further prob-
lem."

H
illel Day School has
completed a suc-
cessful fund-raising
campaign, allowing the
elementary and junior high
school to retire a five-year
mortgage on time and begin
planning for expansion.
In 1986, Hillel officials
borrowed $500,000 for a $1.6
million addition of 11
classrooms, two multi-
purpose and three con-
ference rooms. The school
raised most of the money
through donors.

and classes have become
overcrowded, said Marsha
Fishman, Hillel's executive
director. Retiring the debt
paves the way for expansion,
she said.
When the William, Ethan
and Marla Davidson wing
was built, no one expected
Hillel would grow so quick-
ly, said Rhona Fidler, devel-
opment coordinator. In fact,
school officials debated
whether to build the entire
wing because they were not
sure if it would be used.
Last year, 533 students
were enrolled at Hillel. The
number grew to 557 pupils
this year and is expected to
reach 565 in September. If
the growth rate continues,

The Home is hoping to fur-
ther supplement its funds by
initiating a family giving
program which will en-
courage families of new ad-
mittees as well as in house
family members to con-
tribute directly to the organ-
ization. This new program
will begin on June 1.

the school could have more
than 600 students enrolled
in the next five years, Ms.
Fidler said.
Hillel officials have been
exploring various expansion
options, but remain
undecided.
"We just aren't sure if the
enrollment will continue to
increase or if it will level
off," Ms. Fidler said.
The school recently receiv-
ed permission from Farm-
ington Hills officials to use
portable classrooms in
September, said Ms.
Fishman, who is not sure
whether the plan will be
implemented.
School officials have made
unsuccessful attempts to
purchase one of two parcels
adjacent to Hillel and build
another addition on the site.
Other possibilities include
purchasing a _ second facility
and splitting the school into
two buildings. As part of the
building search, school
leaders looked at the Sally
Allan Alexander Beth Jacob
School for Girls near 14 Mile
and Lahser roads. Beth
Jacob will move into the
former B'nai Moshe building
in Oak Park, and the Bever-
ly Hills site has been placed
on the market.
Instead of naming an
honoree at its May 1 dinner,
Hillel officials searched for
donors who would help retire
the remaining $230,000
owed on the mortgage.
At the dinner, 15 families,
including some former
students, will be recognized
for their efforts to pay the
debt. Between these gifts,
some earlier pledges and
cash on hand, the mortgage
will be retired next year,
leaving the school with no
long-term debt. ❑
