cation supplementary schools
could not provide. Yeshiva
Gedolah was added to the list
several years later. Yavneh
Academy, the Reform day
school which closed its doors
in 1991, also received
Federation affiliation and
funding.
According to Irwin
Alterman, chairman of the
Jewish Education Division,
and Larry Ziffer, Federation
planning director, Federation
looks at several factors when
considering beneficiary sta-
tus. Criteria include, but are
not limited to, institution re-
sponsibility, legitimate goals,
a model in which a board of di-
rectors is accountable to lay
leadership, the way in which
the agency serves Detroit, if it
works for the entire commu-
nity, if it duplicates an already
established service or if it fills
a special need, and the abili-
ty of the institution to survive
without Federation funding.
Duplication of services has
been a matter of some debate
within the community.
Darchei Torah, like Beth
Yehudah, espouses an
Orthodox curriculum and phi-
losophy. Akiva, also an
Orthodox day school, differs
from the two by approaching
education from a Zionist bent.
"This is not a simple ques-
tion," Mr. Ziffer said. "Some
people feel there is no need to
fund another institution with
a similar ideology as Beth
Yehudah. Others say this
school enrolls 152 students
and is thus filling a need."
Some Detroiters point to
Darchei Torah's no-television
rule for students as the major
split between Darchei Torah
and Beth Yehudah. Ms. Kahn
believes it runs deeper.
"There are many differ-
ences between the two
schools," Ms. Kahn said. "But
more important, they are both
filling a need in the commu-
nity — they are both growing.
I think it is great that parents
in Detroit have these choices."
Although many Jewish
agencies, like Darchei Torah,
appear to fit the loose criteria
for beneficiary status,
Federation cannot fund all of
them, Mr. Ziffer said.
"We have finite dollars and
we want to make meaningful
allocations," Mr. Ziffer said.
Federation has not taken
on any new beneficiaries this
year.
"Detroit is conservative in
taking on new beneficiaries,"
Mr. Ziffer said. "We don't want
to give some seemingly mean-
ingless allocation of $500 and
claim that that agency is tru-
ly a part of Federation."
Mr. Alterman said finan-
cial woes aside, Jewish edu-
cation remains a top priority.
"Most all Federation lead-
ers would agree more money
needs to be devoted to educa-
tion," Mr. Alterman said. 'The
problem is when Allied Jewish
Campaign dollars remain con-
stant, as they have. Where do
we get the additional funding
from?"
Mr. Ziffer said in past years
allocations for existing agen-
cies were frozen and new
funds were directed toward
new agencies. Now, total dol-
lar amounts are no longer
growing.
"Darchei Torah was de-
ferred, in my opinion, because
there are still some elements

of their financial picture and
future funding outside of
Federation that needs work,"
Mr. Alterman said. "As best
as we can determine, the
amount of money allocated for
day schools next year wouldn't
allow us to make a significant
allocation to Darchei Torah
unless we cut into other
schools' allocations."
Federation's day school
budget for the 1992-93 year
was $767,000.
"Our deferral had nothing
to do with the quality of the
program or our acceptance of
Darchei Torah in the commu-
nity as it provides services,"
Mr. Alterman added.
Mr. Alterman said he hopes
to continue a dialogue with
Darchei Torah. He also sug-
gested the option of donating
a grant to the school to sup-
port a development project or
program.
"We'll keep trying. Change
takes time," Ms. Kahn said.
"The most important thing is
that all Jewish children are
educated in a Jewish way." ❑
Soccer is Israel's most pop-
ular spectator sport, with
basketball a close second.
Tennis is rapidly gaining
popularity, with many
Israelis also taking part in
swimming, scuba-diving,
hiking, camping and bicycl-
ing.
