D
etroit has the distinc-
tion of being home to
the country's oldest
chapter of the National Coun-
cil of Jewish Women, a
chapter that is older than
the 98-year-old national
organization itself.
Beginning June 11, 100
years of Detroit Section
NCJW memories will be ex-
hibited at the Jewish Com-
munity Center's Maple-
Drake campus. The exhibit,
coordinated by Dorothy
Kaufman and entitled,
"1891-1991, A Century of
Service," will include
original photographs dating
back to the 19th century
when the Jewish Women's
Club of Temple Beth El
formed "to better the condi-
tions of girls and women."
Rabbi Louis Grossman
called the original meeting
together and Ida E.
Ginsburg was named presi-
dent. It was in 1911 that the
club started a penny lunch
program for public school
children in hardship areas, a
program that was the basis
for the later formation of the
city-wide school lunch pro-
gram.
It was in 1925 that the
Detroit group became part of
the National Council of Jew-
ish Women. Later programs
included a resettlement
effort to service new Ameri-
cans following World War II.
In 1947, NCJW resolutions
urged an open door policy for
Jewish immigration to
Palestine.
NCJW started the Or-
chards in 1962, a residential
treatment home for emo-
tionally disturbed young
boys. Other important
highlights included the 1973
formation of a kosher Meals
on Wheels program and the
1978 establishment of
SPACE, a project developed
largely for the needs of sin-
gle parent households. More
recent achievements by the
Detroit Section includes the
Family to Family program
matching Detroit area Jew-
ish families with Russian
families, and the estab-
lishment of Hakol for
younger women.
Like national NCJW,
Detroit's section has a histo-
ry of social activism. In the
early part of the century,
Jewish women marched to
receive the right to vote.
Now in the 1990s, NCJW
locally, numbering some
Ida Ginsberg:
Founding president of the Detroit
Jewish Women's Club.
2,800, remain politically ac-
tive. NCJW nationally is ex-
tremely active in the pro-
choice movement.
"It's been very exciting for
me to read this history and
see history repeat itself
through the years," Mrs.
Kaufman said. "In the early
part of the century, the
issues were help for the ag-
ing, women's concerns, child
abuse and even resettlement
of Eastern Europeans. To-
day, many of the issues are
very much the same."
