The appeal of cults to young
Jews will be discussed at the
next Food for Thought luncheon
Dec. 7 at the Embassy Suites
Hotel in Southfield.
The 11:30 a.m. meeting,
which will feature Edward
Schnee, who assisted in the
rescue from cults and depro-
gramming of his two sons, is
sponsored by the Jewish Fed-
eration Women's Division.
As the founding member
and the director of both the
American Family Foundation
and the Cult Awareness Net-
work, Mr. Schnee has con-
ducted research to explore
the reasons that make young
Jews vulnerable to the appeal
of cults and lectures to raise
awareness.
Mr. Schnee, who operates
an agency specializing in in-
ternational designs for the
home, is a civic affairs plan-
ner and activist in Detroit's
downtown business commu-
nity.
Food for Thought, which is
lead by Diane Orley, chair-
person, and Lori Brode
Garon, associate chairperson,
is a forum to educate the par-
ticipants on important Jew-
ish issues and to reach out to
women not yet involved in
Federation's Women's Divi-
sion.
The luncheon begins at
11:30 a.m. There is a charge
for the event; but there will
be no solicitation of gifts. For

don, 642-4260.
