Rabbi Yechiel Blitz says the
school attempts to create a
relationship with its
students that includes more
than book learning. The
students form bonds with
their teachers and make the
yeshiva the center of their

"It's a full-time operation,

good things happening at Franklin Bank.

A

lmost two years after
Sharon Zimmerman
was named director of
the Janice Charach
Epstein Museum Gallery at
the Jewish Community
Center, she is leaving to
pursue other interests.
Ms. Zimmerman plans to
> stay with the museum
gallery through January to
guarantee that shows she is
now working on turn out as
envisioned.
"This is mostly a personal
. decision. There are many
other things with my life I'd
like to do," Ms. Zimmerman
said.
Although she has no con-
crete plans for the future,
Ms. Zimmerman hopes to
move into the private sector.
"Non-profit work affords
you a lot of challenges. You
make the financial sacrifices
for the experiences you
might not get in the private
sector," Ms. Zimmerman
said. "I've been in the non-
profit world for 10 years. It's
time to make some changes
and to make the next
chapter of my life."
Prior to serving as director
of the Janice Charach Eps-
tein Museum .Gallery, Ms.
Zimmerman was employed
by the Detroit Artists
Market as the gallery direc-
tor.
"I'm very grateful to have
had the opportunity to get
this (the museum gallery)
started," Ms. Zimmerman

said. "The community is
lucky to have this space.
And I'm happy to have had
the chance to help establish
it."

Mort Plotnick, executive
director of the JCC, said he
is sorry to see Ms. Zimmer-
man leave.

"Everyone has the same
goals here — to help the
Jewish community in its ar-
tistic and cultural edu-
cation," Ms. Zimmerman
said. "However, there is a
difference of opinion in how
to achieve those goals at
times. The relationship
between a professional staff
and its board is tenuous at
best. By moving into the
private sector, I'd like to see
what it's like on the other
side."
