Our Mission

The Jewish Community Council provides the leadership for the
community relations activities of the metropolitan Jewish community.
In carrying out this task, it speaks for that community, initiates
programs, seeks opportunities for collaboration with other religious
and ethnic communities and coordinates activities for its 270 member
organizations that represent the principal segments of the Jewish
community.

from Our Executive Director

As Paul describes in his message and as outlined in more detail in this
report, the 1990-91 year was full of important activities on the many
fronts of Jewish community relations. These accomplishments
reflected and required a spirit of teamwork encompassing the board,
committees, staff and the organizations that comprise the Council.

It has been a joy to have Paul D. Borman as my first president in
Detroit. These past three years have been years of heightened
impact and visibility for Council, within and outside of the Jewish
community. This is due in large measure to our good fortune in having
Paul at the helm.

I'm sure the coming years will be no less exciting and challenging. I
look forward to working with our new president, Jeannie Weiner, and
you to address the many issues on our agenda.

David Gad-Harf
Executive Director
