ward with the proposal," he
said. "It's not that we've turned
it down. It's just not on our
agenda.
"What we will do is follow the
lead of (HMC Chairman and
Vice President) Henry and Joel
Dorfman, working in concert
with them to determine if —
and I do mean if — when, and
how these changes will be
made."
The proposed expansion
would cost about $7.5 million,
with an additional $7 million
needed to create an endowment
fund to continue operations,
Rabbi Rosenzveig said. The
HMC generates money
through private fund raising
and is not seeking Federation
financial aid, but is looking for
Federation approval to expand
on the property. The United
Jewish Foundation, adminis-
tered by the Federation, owns
the West Bloomfield Jewish
Community Campus, where
the Holocaust Center is locat-
ed.
Federation leaders insist
they are not dragging their
heels on the issue. They reject-
ed the expansion proposal
when it was first presented
three years ago. Five months
ago, the Federation board de-
termined "the time wasn't
right" to make HMC renova-
tions a priority, Mr. Aronson
said.
Part of the reason has to do
with other concerns that have
their attention right now,
Federation leaders say.
"We have to look at the en-
tire Jewish community's needs,
so we have a different perspec-
tive on the urgency of the pro-
posed expansion," said Mark
Schlussel, who is just stepping
down as Federation president.
"We're not sitting here and
twiddling our thumbs," Mr.
Aronson added. "We've got ter-
rible, terrible, terrible problems
in the Jewish community," in-
cluding the Jewish poor, fami-
lies in trouble, day schools with
major financial concerns.
"People are hurting and the
Federation is being called on
more and more, which is ex-

actly how it should be."
An additional concern is the
lack of a complete report, com-
piled by an outside expert, pro-
viding extensive details about
the proposed changes, Fed-
eration leaders said.
"We're still waiting for all
the pieces of the puzzle," Mr.
Schlussel said.
HMC vice president and
board member Joel Dorfman
said the expansion project is
"still in the planning stages.
We're hopeful that over the
next several months and years
we can come to a positive solu-
tion."
"I'm confident we'll get ap-
proval," Rabbi Rosenzweig
added. "We're very anxious to
do the project here, I think it's
the best possible location." He
said he "didn't want to con-
template" options should the
Federation reject his proposal.
Rabbi Rosenzveig said he
was surprised when Federation
leaders did not approve his pro-
posal as soon as it was submit-
ted. "I frankly thought this
would be something they would
immediately support."
Part of the reason expansion
is necessary has to do with the
inadequacy of existing facilities,
Rabbi Rosenzveig said. The
HMC already features a con-
ference room, but it cannot ac-
commodate the large groups
who often gather at the end of
tours to meet with Holocaust
survivors, nor will it hold
crowds attending lectures and

seminars.
'We've got 10,000 students
a year — sometimes 700-800
kids a day — going through the
center," Mr. Dorfman said.
More space also is needed for
the library, Rabbi Rosenzveig
said. "Our library is impossible.
It was built to accommodate
10,000 books and we've got
more than 17,000."
The HMC further hopes to
house two new exhibits, in-
cluding a tribute to gentiles
who assisted Jews during the
Holocaust. Rabbi Rosenzveig
said he expects to receive about
$2.5 million from the Gelman
government for the project. He
does not have the money yet,
but said the German Foreign
Office has pledged to present
the issue before the budget
commission.
Another new exhibit would
highlight pre-World War II
Jewish life in Europe and serve
as an educational tool, Rabbi
Rosenzveig said.
"American Jewish youth
have no concept of Jewish life,"
he said. "The problem is, we've
never given them something
they can be proud of." The
HMC exhibit would illustrate
the kind of kinship prevalent
in the European Jewish com-
munity, and the Jewish com-
mitment to tradition and
education, he said.
"It would be a motivation for
gaining pride in being Jewish,
a turning point for American
Jewish youth." ❑

states, which comprise 272
electoral votes. To win the
presidency, a candidate
needs 270. Therefore, the
Jewish vote could tip the
scales.
"People have no right to
complain if they do not vote,"
said Richard Moline, director
of college outreach for the
United Synagogue of
Conservative Judaism, which

has flooded Jewish students
on college campuses through-
out the United States with
information on voting and
how to register to vote. "The
old cliche does ring true.
Voting does make a differ-
ence. The right to vote is a
fundamental right and an
obligation to each American
citizen."
