be among those business
schools operating interna-
tionally within the first rank
' in that area, Dr. Goldman
said.
The center, funded partial-
.' ly by Kmart and through
private donations, will con-
- . duct research, develop case
studies and business simula-
tions, and experiment with
new approaches to teaching
retailing and marketing to
.. students.
It also aims to encourage
international dialogue on
retailing issues, offer a
resource center, and test and
disseminate retailing and
marketing ideas from
around the world.
"Kmart is a strong busi-
ness partner of the educa-
tional community," Mr. An-
tonini said. "As the global
marketplace for retailing
expands, it is more impor-
tant than ever to exchange

ideas."
At the center dedication in
Israel, Mr. Antonini said ed-
ucational institutions have
been slow to recognize
changes in retailing in the
past 30 years. Universities,
he said, have not produced
the young graduates needed
to work in the field.
The Kmart International
Center dates back about five
years when Hebrew Univer-
sity presented its Mt. Scopus
Award to Mr. Antonini. At
the time, one of his vice pres-
idents, Marjorie Alfus, who
is Jewish, provided another
idea. She suggested the
retailing center.
Next, at a dinner in New
York, Mr. Antonini
spearheaded a fund-raising
dinner that brought in $3
million for Hebrew Univer-
sity. Former Secretary of
State Henry Kissinger was
the keynote speaker. ❑

The service is the result of
a meeting of the American

years-old and up, which
formed last spring. At a ses-

dividuals expressed greater
concern about congregations
excluding singles than the
scheduled topic.
Temple Kol Ami Rabbi
Norman Roman served on
the panel.
He returned to his board of
trustees with the concerns
expressed. Together, they
decided to try a High Holi-
day service aimed specifical-
ly at singles.
Larry Imerman, a member
of the Temple Kol Ami board
of trustees and president of
the Detroit AJCommittee,
said some board members
expressed concern about the
idea. They asked whether
there would be confusion
since Reform synagogues do
not celebrate the second
night of the holiday and
would there be a sufficient
response to merit these
efforts. But they decided to
go ahead with the concept.
"Any time you try some-
thing new there is going to
be hesitation," Rabbi Roman
said. "No one perceives this
as a substitution for wor-
shipping on the first day of
the holiday with family and
congregation. It's an alter-
native and a way to make
connections."
Currently, the only wor-
ship aimed at singles is a
once-a-month Shabbat ser-
vice rotating between
various Reform and Conser-
vative synagogues.
The Rosh Hashanah ser-
vice is limited to 400 people.
Prayer books will be provid-
ed on loan from the Ann
Arbor B'nai B'rith Hillel.
