wo Oak Park Or-
thodox Jews threw
their hats into the po-
litical arena and will be fa-
miliar faces in the
November Oak Park City
Council election.
Self-proclaimed political
newcomer Paul Braunstein
finished first in the primary
with 1,116 votes. Michael
Seligson, an Oak Park
School Board member for
four years, claimed 1,011
votes — ranking him third
in the five-person primary.
Both candidates said their
Orthodoxy did not enter into
their campaigns.
Instead, Mr. Braunstein is
running on a platform to
minimize appointments of
officials normally elected.
He said the overuse of ap-
pointments tends toward a
government that promotes
primarily from within.
Other issues Mr. Brauns-
tein is concerned with in-
cludes ambulance response
time and returning police of-
ficers to side streets and
neighborhood beats.
Mr. Braunstein said he is
looking to be a part of a
government representative
of its people — mainly
blacks, Orthodox Jews and
Chaldeans. However, he be-
lieves officials must be elect-

ed from these communities,
not appointed.
Mr. Seligson hopes to keep
Oak Park strong by em-
powering its people and let-
ting them work for the city.
Neighborhood pride and city
beautification are ways in
which Mr. Seligson believes
residents can get involved.
In addition, Mr. Seligson
believes the city of Oak Park
needs a strategic, long-term
plan.
"We need to know where
the people of Oak Park
would like to see their city in
20 years and if city govern-
ment has the same vision,"
Mr. Seligson said.
Mr. Seligson said his Or-
thodoxy affects his politics
only in an effort toward hon-
esty and integrity —
qualities required of all
Jews.
Minerva Freeman and in-
cumbent Raymond Abrams
will also appear on the
November ballot.
In Michigan's 65th
district, the Republican-
voting area consisting of
Bloomfield Hills, Birm-

Township, Pontiac and part
of Lake Angelus, John Ja-
mian won the primary and
will face Democrat Kelly
Allen in the Aug. 27 special
election. Hopeful Anne
Silver finished fifth out of
six candidates with 311
votes. ❑

T
he Michigan Jewish
Conference, a
statewide networking
group aimed at engaging
communities in advocacy
and social concerns, recently
received a $50,000 private
grant to support programm-
ing for Jewish communities
outside metropolitan
Detroit.
"We are trying to foster
communication between
these other communities,"
said Caryn Nessel, govern-
ment affairs consultant for
the Conference. "Grants will
encourage Jewish activities
that reach beyond the
boundaries of a single corn-
munity."
The Conference, begun
last October, is serving 12
member communities —Ann
Arbor, Bay City, Detroit,
Flint, Grand Rapids,
Jackson, Kalamazoo, Lans-
ing, Midland, Muskegon,
Saginaw and South Haven.
Organizers, who are plan-
ning an anniversary recep-
tion on Oct. 15 in Lansing,
say the Conference is pro-
gressing steadily and
smoothly. The grant, they
say, is indicative of a need to
enrich support and build
Jewish life throughout the
state.
The grant will provide
$10,000 a year for five years
from the Litvach Founda-
tion. The Conference is
finalizing guidelines for
communities wishing to ob-
tain the grants that will
"support Jewish life
throughout Michigan."
Since its inception, the
Conference has brought
together leaders of the 12
communities for joint pro-
gramming and legislative
efforts.
