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.

Find It All In The Jewish News Classifieds Call 354-5959 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 Elderly immigrants need help picking up their food stamps. 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?" ❑ Protestors Continued from Page 27 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. Jay Wolfe took several Akiva Hebrew Day School students with him to Sterling Heights.
