Call The Jewish News 354-5959 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." ❑ Operation Solomon On Cable TV Cable television viewers in Birmingham and surroun- ding communities will be able to see highlights and back- ground of Operation Solomon; the rescue of 14,087 Ethio- pian Jews will be featured on a special edition of "Jerusalem On-Line," an English-language television news show taped in Israel. The half-hour interview show, which is broadcast locally on several suburban cable networks, will show film from the Israeli Embassy and the airport in Addis Ababa. The show is moderated by Michael Greenspan former Israel correspondent for Cable News Network (CNN). "Jerusalem On-Line," which is produced by the World Zionist Organization Department of Information in Israel, can be seen at 9 p.m. on Monday, 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, and 10 a.m. on Friday on channel 11 on Booth Communication.
