You paid for the Bat Mitzvah,
the orthodontist, college and
a good part of the wedding.

SO WHAT'S ANOTHER $31?

You probably paid more for a new cumberbund. But then, when was
money ever an object when it came to your kids? Especially if it was something
to help them.
Now that they're married you can still do something good for them. And
it won't cost a whole lot of money.
For $31 you can give your kids a subscription to the Detroit Jewish
News. It's a great way for them to keep up with what's going on in their own
community and your organizations. And, at the same time, it gives them a
weekly analysis of the news from Israel, views about modern Jewish life and
so much more. All written and reported by award-winning writers and journalists
who are sensitive to the interests of young couples.
So give The Jewish News. Because when you think about all that it offers
your children — or relatives — this may be the wisest $31 you'll ever spend.

tional Jewish preference for
Democratic candidates.
But other observers sug-
gest that it is precisely Mr.
Clinton's thin support in the
community — coupled with
the widespread Jewish
anger at the Bush ad-
ministration — that could
open the door for a surpris-
ing Jewish turnout for Mr.
Perot.
In California, exit poll
data suggested that some 26
percent of the Jews voting in
the Democratic primary
would have voted for Mr.
Perot, if he had been on the
ballot. That was con-
siderably below the numbers
for non-Jewish Democrats —
but still higher than Jewish
Democrats had predicted.
In a tight three-way race
in November, any signifi-
cant movement of Jewish
voters from the Clinton
column could have enormous
consequences. Jewish voters
could turn to Mr. Perot if Mr.
Clinton continues to fade in
the polls.

"Clinton's support in the
Jewish community is
shallow," said political
scientist Ben Wattenberg.
"You could have the 'third
man out' phenomenon; if
Clinton is running third in
the fall, people may say that
they have to vote for one of

thee two with a chance to
win."
He says many Jews would
then choose President Bush,
but others argue that Mr.
Perot will be the primary
beneficiary, thanks to the 1
widespread perception that
the Bush administration
remains hostile to Israel.
Political scientist Amos"-1
Perlmutter, who served on
George Bush's transition
team in 1988 and is now IWO
supporting Mr. Perot, said
the Perot campaign is going —o
after Reagan Democrats,
many of whom are Jewish. •
"Jews don't like to admit
this — but Clinton has the
wrong allies," Mr.
Perlmutter said, like
outspoken black leaders.
For now, many Jewish
voters and political activists • do
are holding back —express-
ing strong interest in the
Perot tide, but reserving
judgment until the can-
didate begins discussing
issues.
"His initial appeal is based dt
on disillusionment with the
other candidates," said
Larry Phillips, the founder
of the American Jewish 4111
World Service and a
longtime Jewish activist.
"This is something that's true
in the Jewish community as
it is in the non-Jewish corn- 41
munity."

ADL Will Sponsor

Tutoring In Detroit

n an effort to improve re-
lations between local
Jewish and black com-
munities, the Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai
B'rith will sponsor a tutor-
ing program for students in
two Detroit public schools.
The ADL needs volunteers
to tutor children once a week
at Davison Elementary
School in Central Detroit or
at Detroit Open Middle
School near Seven Mile and
Telegraph.
According to ADL board
member Andy Doctoroff,
tutors will teach fundamen-
tal reading and math skills,
"nothing any reasonably
educated person wouldn't
have full control and knowl-
edge over."
Mr. Doctoroff said he be-
lieves a tutoring program
will be an effective way to
enhance relationships bet-
ween the communities be-

del

cause it will allow for mem-
bers of both groups to
interact.
"Anyone can put on a •
dinner where the Jews sit on
one side on the room and
blacks on another and listen
to speakers, but what does 41 11
that do to enhance our rela-
tionships?" he said. "By go-
ing into schools to provide
fundamental skills, we are
attempting to enhance the
viability of the region and of
those we are tutoring." •111
Mr. Doctoroff called the
program crucial to helping
both Detroit and its suburbs. D-I
"This is an effective way to
invest in the City of Detroit
— in this case contributing
our willingness to go into the
city and instruct in fun-
damental skills," he said. do
"It's necessary for people to
extend their hands in friend-
ship across Eight Mile Road.
It shows we recognize our
responsibility to help those
less fortunate."
