Women Pin Hopes
On Helping The JHA
How about giving them
something they'll never ask for.
ELIZABETH APPLEBAUM ASSISTANT EDITOR
S
Bless 'em.
It seemed as soon as they could talk,
they started asking you for the moon. And as sure
as the sun rises in the east, you were there to provide it.
Well now you can give them something that's truly
out of this world. . . a subscription to The Detroit Jewish News.
And when they ask you how come? Tell them
that The Detroit Jewish News is the largest Jewish weekly
in the nation. And that every week award winning
journalists write about national and international events with
caring and sensitivity. Or, that The Jewish News is the
best way to find out about local and community news.
After all these years of giving your kids the sun,
the moon and the stars, give them something that
will enrich their world. The Detroit Jewish News.
You couldn't ask for a better gift.

haron Fleischman was
somewhere between
the canned goods, the
taco sauce and the
broccoli when it happened.
She was wearing a colorful
pin that showed an elderly
woman looking at the moon
and the stars and a quiet
neighborhood. A stranger
approached her. She wanted
the pin.
"Fortunately, I had two
more with me — I'd just
bought them for my
daughters — so I sold them
to her, right there in the
grocery store," Mrs.
Fleischman recalls.
It isn't that Mrs.
Fleischman was eager to
part with her daughters'
gifts (don't worry: they got
their own pins later). It was
simply that she couldn't
resist the chance to help the
Home for Aged.
Mrs. Fleischman is one of a
handful of women who have
their hopes pinned on help-
ing the JHA with a new
campaign promoting Home
Pins. The theme of the pins
is the same — the woman at
the window — though they
come in a variety of colors
and styles, each a
"handmade, one-of-a-kind,
wearable art pin." All
profits will benefit the Home
for Aged's Borman Hall,
Fleischman Residence and
Prentis Manor.
The project began about
six months ago in the studio
of artist Susie Citrin. She
was joined by Hannah Moss,
Marcy Feldman and Nancy
Jacobson.
The women were, in Mrs.
Jacobson's words, "playing
in clay" when they decided
to create some kind of art to
help raise funds for the JHA.
They brainstormed and
came up with a number of
ideas before settling on the
pin. Mrs. Citrin, president of
the Birmingham-Bloomfield
Art Association, agreed to
design the jewelry.
"We decided that we
wanted to utilize all areas of
the Jewish community,"
said Mrs. Jacobson, chair-
man of the Home develop-
ment committee. So the wo-
men approached the Jewish
Vocational Service, who put--
them in touch with the
Resettlement Service, which
matched them to Soviet im- -
migrant and artist Tamara
Biniashvili.
Ms. Biniashvili agreed to
produce the pins at her='
home. Fleischman residents
offered to serve as vol-
unteers, putting the pins,
together and placing them in
plastic bags.
Earlier this month, the
first major sale of the Home_
Pins got under way at
Fleischman Residence.
It took little effort to get
many of the pins sold. Guests
carted them out by the
handful.
The pins sell for $12 each
and are available at the
Borman Hall gift shop, or
may be ordered by calling
Borman, Fleischman or
Prentis Manor. ❑
