Shower Provides
Emigre Necessities

LESLEY PEARL STAFF WRITER

early 70 women join-
ed together last week
at Nancy Triest's
home in Huntington
Woods with shower gifts in-
cluding a Cuisinart, a
microwave, sheets, towels
and kitchen utensils. Receiv-
ing the goods were new
American-Jewish families
from the former Soviet
Union.
Mrs. Triest and five other
women — Jo Rosen, Barbara
Wallace, Liz Schubiner,
Lynn Podolsky and Judy
Komer — acted as hostesses
for the shower, providing
food and the guests. Reset-
tlement Service brought a
speaker, Marcy Feldman,
and a van to tote away the
gifts.
The shower was the second
of its kind.
The first was held in West
Bloomfield last spring after
Mrs. Feldman received a
phone call. A woman attend-
ed a similar shower where
the guests brought gifts for
needy children. She asked
Mrs. Feldman if something
similar could be done for the
Russian immigrants. Mrs.
Feldman jumped on the idea.
According to Mrs.

(313) 628-1406

two-and-a-half years.
Ninety more have come in
the past month.

"This trend will continue,"
Mrs. Feldman said. "The
people of the Soviet Union
are seeing anti-Semitism
and they need to get out. But it
when they arrive in the
United States, they also
need the basics for sur-
vival."
Upon arrival at the air-
port, the family is met by a
representative of Reset- ,
tlement Service, which has (I
already rented an apartment
for the family, helps mem-
bers find jobs and start a life
in the United States.
Showers, like the one hosted
at Mrs. Triest's home, help,_
fill the empty living
quarters.
"This is our opportunity to
strengthen our Jewish com-
munity in Detroit and to
help connect immigrants
with their Jewish commun-
ity," Mrs. Feldman said.
To host a shower, contact-7i'

Federation Executive

STAFF REPORT

C

ommunity involve-
ment meant every-
thing to William
"Bill" Avrunin, exec-
utive director for the
Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit from
1964 to 1976, who died
Nov. 19.
Mr. Avrunin was 81. He

started at Federation as an
associate director in 1948.
"He was so immersed in

community," said longtime
friend George Stutz of Hun-

Call Bruno Trentacost to view
our portfolio. 10 years of
designs and installations.
From one-of-a-kind pieces to
complete trim and woodwork
for many exclusive, fine
homes.

Feldman, more than 2,500
Jews from the Soviet Union
have immigrated to the
Detroit area in the past

tington Woods. "He was in-
strumental in unifying the
Jewish community relation-
ship with the general com-
munity."
Friends and former col-
leagues described Mr.
Avrunin as a dedicated man,
who developed professional,
yet close relationships with
staff members and corrunun-

ity lay leaders.
In a statement released by
the Federation, Robert
Aronson, executive vice
president, and David Page,
president, said Mr. Avrunin
helped shape Detroit's post-
war Jewish community.
"His abilities were ac-
knowledged throughout the
country, and a generation of
Detroit Jewish leadership
owes a debt of gratitude to
this extraordinary teacher
and role model," Mr. Aron-
son and Mr. Page said. -7J
"Even though he officially
retired in 1976, Bill con-
tinued to counsel succeeding
Federation executives, who

respected his knowledge, j
his judgment and experi-
ence," the statement said.
Mr. Avrunin was active in

many national organiza-
tions, including serving as
