The Challenge Fund is
one way the Campaign is
providing an incentive for
people to contribute. About
$450,000 has been donated
by some the leaders in the
Jewish community, includ-
ing past Campaign coordi-
nators. Each dollar a new
contributor donates to the
Campaign will be matched
by $2 from the Challenge
Fund. Increases from past
contributors will be
matched dollar for dollar.
Also for the first time,
the Campaign is sponsor-
ing a Super Week, which
will start with the
Federation's "Campaign
Sabbath" Jan. 15-16.
Rabbis and Campaign rep-
resentatives will address
congregants about the
Campaign. Thereafter,
Super Week will consist of
phone calling and fund
raising.
Mrs. Hermelin said
Super Sunday has been
expanded to Super Week
to enable volunteers to
contact more people in the
Jewish community. The
concept was partly derived .4
from last spring's "Days of
Decision," during which
volunteers closed out the
`92 Campaign with a final s-4
plug for contributions.
"Because we had the
time, we were able to
reach not only our past
contributors, but people
who had not contributed in-0-4
the past," Mrs. Hermelin
said.
More than 20 organiza-
tions, in addition to syn-
gogues, have volunteered
to recruit members to man
the phones during Super -1
Week. Mrs. Hermelin said
that in addition to bring-
ing in more money, Super -4
Week creates a sense of
excitement among volun-
teers.

"It's awareness," she
said. "The more someone
buys into something — not
monetarily, but knowl- -14
edge-wise — the more 4
they're committed to the
Jewish community, the al
Jewish world. The more
they understand tze- -
dakah."0

of yet a citizen and
not even old enough
to vote, Greg Khay-
kin already has
assisted the legal system.
Greg, formerly from
Russia and a student in
Kathy Sklar's government
class at Akiva Hebrew
Day School, attended 46th
District Court in
Southfield on a field trip
Jan. 6. The 11th-graders
viewed Judge Susan
Moiseev in action — deal-
ing with traffic tickets,
shoplifting and other
cases.
Judge Moiseev called a
recess to discuss the trials
with the students. Then
she asked if any of them
spoke Russian. Greg said
he did.
A woman in her late 60s
had been arrested for
shoplifting. An immigrant
from the former Soviet
Union, the woman spoke
little English and did not
appear to understand why
she was in court or what
was happening.
Greg offered to act as an
interpreter.
"She was arrested for ,
trying to steal a pair of "I
shoes. The woman told me
she did not try to steal the
shoes. She wanted to take A
them out of the store to
show her husband. She I
said she left her purse
with the cashier to show .4
she would come back,"

Greg said.
"She seemed scared.
(Judge Moiseev was going 'q
to bind her over for trial.)
So she changed her story
and said she would plead./
guilty. She just wanted to
get it over with," h€0-1
added.
Greg explained to the
woman that she needed to
hire an attorney as she
could be deported if found4
guilty.
The woman was con..4
cerned about cost. Judge
Moiseev appointed a
Russian-speaking lawyer.
The woman will return
to court Jan. 25.
"I'm learning the legal'4
system because I have to,
I'm in school," Greg said7"
"There are so many things
to learn."❑
