The Learning Family
Ulpan Akiva's innovative program
which encourages the shared family experience.
Families from all over the world, as well as from Israel, congregate at Ulpan
Akiva's Green Beach Hotel campus, beside the beach in southern Netanya, for a
unique family experience combining learning with leisure, enjoying all full-board
accommodation. Parents and their teenage (over 12 years) children take part in
Hebrew or Arabic courses while in the summer, the younger kids join a day camp
nearby (at Moshav Udim).
The families are joining a learning community of Israelis, tourists, temporary
residents and new immigrants — Jews and non-Jews — students of all ages, civil
servants, teachers on sabbatical and others.
The courses last 24 days or 8 weeks, with 5 hours of classes a day. Then there are
loads of social and cultural activities during the remaining hours of the day and
evening, plus walks, tours and a study Shabbat.

can order car service for as
low as $2 if they can prove
they are too sick or poor to
pay the regular $7 fare.
Eighty-two-year-old Fanny
Sheinker, a 15-year resident
of Highland Towers, called
the new policy at JFS
"degrading, and without
`warmkite.' "It's
humiliating to have to be
put down every time that we
are so poor or so sick that we
cannot pay full price," she
said. "They don't let a group
of us split the fare. Even taxi
cabs don't charge each per-
son.
"JFS has almost complete-
ly taken away what is left of
our dignity," Mrs. Sheinker
said.
After Mrs. Polskaya, an
immigrant from Moscow,
pays $92 a month for rent,
$30 for electricity, $30 for
telephone service, plus an-
other $40-plus for medica-
tions that Medicaid and
Medicare no longer cover,
she doesn't have much left to
pay for trips to Madison
Heights or to doctor ap-
pointments.
"JFS is a Jewish organiza-
tion, created specifically to
help Jews," she said. "When
we first came to America,
they took care of us. Now
that we're older and have no.
other means of support, we
need their help more than
ever."
Mr. Goodman said in the
last two years JFS has
significantly changed the
way in which it works with
the former refugee popula-
tion.
"While we still act as ad-
vocates for individuals
where specific problems ex-
ist," Mr. Goodman said, "we
do not feel that it is
necessary nor advisable for
us to do so on an ongoing
basis after the initial ac-
culturation is complete."
He said the new focus at
JFS is to foster in-
dependence and self-
reliance. "We discourage
the refugee population from
seeing the agency. as an
intermediary between them
and the system, meaning
DSS," Mr. Goodman said.
Yet, for as long as she can
remember, Lubov Kats, 74,
has received her food stamps
by mail. She left Moscow 12
years ago. "We don't ask for
anything except having JFS
send us our food stamps,"
she said. "I came here a
widow and I don't drive.
Now I'm virtually house-
bound because of severe ar-
thritis and back pain. I
would rather go without food
stamps than ask people to
take me up to Madison
Heights."
Donald Dersnah, DSS
district manager, said
clients unable to to come to
Madison Heights have little
alternative but to authorize
a proxy. DSS doesn't offer
transportation nor will they
mail food stamps to clients
in Oakland County.
"We only mail food stamps
to clients who live in nor-
thern, rural , areas of Mich-
igan, who have no means of
transportation," Mr.
Dersnah said. "But if your
Jewish Family Service can't
do it anymore, why not ask a
temple sisterhood or men's

club to take it on as a philan-
thropic project? All they
need to do is sign over au-
thority and designate a vol-
unteer to pick them up."
At least 50 immigrants
have no private means of
getting to Madison Heights.
Boris Levov, a retired Rus-
sian journalist in his mid-
70s, walked more than an
hour this month to a DSS of-
fice on Seven Mile Road.
"My wife and I collect $45
in food stamps," he said sad-
ly. "What choice do I
have?" ❑

nist's New Hampshire cam-
paign, came to Michigan this
week to defend himself
against what he calls "the
McCarthyite smear" made
against him on the March 11
"Nightline" TV program.
The rabbi, president of the
Coalition For Jewish Con-
cerns, held a press con-
ference March 16 outside the
Ritz Carlton Hotel in Dear-
born and later that evening,
a demonstration at Penna's
Hall in Sterling Heights,
where Mr. Buchanan was
speaking.
Rabbi Weiss, who also
traveled this week to Illinois
for that state's presidential
primary, played a videotape
of a recent rally in Marietta,
Ga., where Mr. Buchanan
announced, "This is a rally
for Americans, by Ameri-
cans in the good old U.S.A."
Last week, on ABC's
"Nightline," Mr. Buchanan
insisted he was making a
general statement, not
directing his comments to
the Jewish protesters.
