"It's that kind of sensitivity
he brings to the Jewish
community as well as a
strong belief in Judaism
and a strong Jewish identi-
ty. This is the total man.
"In his professional and per-
sonal life, his values are
totally in sync."
Robert Aronson, execu-
tive vice president of
Federation, agrees. "Connie
is a unique person. He rep-
resents a leader with a
great combination of inter-
ests, locally, nationally and
overseas.
"It's rare that someone
who plays so prominent a
role locally will also become
as involved as Conrad
nationally. And he manages
despite a very busy and
important medical practice.
He's had a great role in
shaping this Federation and
also CJF. This is a very spe-
cial combination."
"The world was different
30 years ago and the
Federation was different as
well," said Dr. Giles. "The
world is far more different
today than Federation.
However, I think in the
years covering the next gen-
eration, that evolution will
change and Federation will
change much more than the
world around it."
He believes the change
has already begun. After
decades of focus on
Federation provisions for
human services, the priori-
ties will change to educa-
tion. If this doesn't contin-
ue, Dr. Giles said bluntly,
then there won't be much
need for Jewish human ser-
vices in the future.
The examples for educa-
tion, he said, must come
from the top. Like other
national leaders, Dr. Giles
said "checkbook Judaism"
won't be enough.
There is already a
groundswell nationally and
locally for leaders to become
"Jewishly informed." This,
he said, doesn't necessarily
mean religiously, but it does
mean that Jewish leaders
need a background in histo-
ry, Bible, Hebrew and other
areas of Jewish life to be
considered leaders.
Time is a major point for
Dr. Giles. There is a wish,
he said, among demogra-
phers to do more long-term
studies on Jewish survival.
But Dr. Giles believes the
Jewish community doesn't
have the luxury of time for
'research anymore.
"We can't afford to lose
another decade by the time
these studies are compiled
and then studied," he said.
"We've done this already,
and the studies have told us
that we have to implement
programs in education, fam-
ily education, children's
education. This is the priori-
ty, and this needs to be
done with a sense of
urgency."
Federation dollars have
to be invested in education
in congregations as well as
in programs to reach the
unaffiliated. Detroit cannot
afford to exclude any seg-
ment of the population, he
said.
"The people
who involve
themselves in this
community are the
best and the
brightest people
I've met."
Conrad Giles
"If we stay committed to
the core (Jewish areas) only,
it's a cop-out," he said.
"We've got to continue to
reach out to those who have
only tenuous strands of con-
nections to our community."
Involvement doesn't have
to be tenuous. He said vol-
unteering for Federation is
not just a matter of the
amount of money con-
tributed. He said there's a
difference between the
quantity of a gift and the
quality of a gift.
"The people who involve
themselves in this commu-
nity are the best and the
brightest people I've met,"
said Dr. Giles. "They are
committed to a cause
because Federation work is
a people-driven enterprise.
There's an element of self-
lessness. Listen, it's unusu-
al for someone to give 10
hours a week of their time
to work on hard issues. The
issues are difficult enough
in their careers. Over the
years, though, I've seen peo-
ple driven by the fact that
they can make a difference."
Dr. Giles added that
Detroit is among the lead-
ing United Jewish Appeal
cities because of the local
role models it's had over the
years. These are people, he
said, who worked on nation-
al and international issues,
but who always stayed tied
into local issues and causes
as well.
"That's what a role model
is," he said. "Each individ-
ual has made himself
available for the entire com-
munity."
