I was supporting Israel. It
makes it more real.”
Added Mr. Knollenberg, "Is-
rael should continue to get the
help it needs. At one point, it
may be independent. Israel is
not there yet. This is not the
time to stop foreign aid."
Though subsidized in part by
the JCCouncil, the Flint Jewish
Federation and outside dona-
tions, such trips are not un-
common for elected officials or
for those seeking national office.
Recently, state Sen. Lana
Pollack, a candidate for the De-
mocratic nomination for the
U.S. Senate seat being vacated
by Donald Riegle Jr., went on a

similar journey to the Middle
East. She is drafting a position
paper that is expected to show
support for the peace process.
Both members of Congress
said the United States should
allow Israel and the Palestini-
ans to work out a peace settle-
ment on their own.
"The problems with Israel
will be solved," Mr. Kildee said.
"Rabin is determined to build
and work with and negotiate
with the Palestinians, to secure
Israel, and to arrive at self-de-
termination. The U.S. role is to
encourage direct negotiations.
We can not impose a settlement
on either side." ❑

Sandra Jaffa loses her job with JFS.

fter four years of work-
ing for a program that
helped area Jewish
women and their fami-
lies cope with family violence,
Sandra Jaffa, program manag-
er for WINDOWS, a Jewish
Family Service family violence
prevention program, was told
her services were no longer
needed.
"We constantly have to make
decisions," said Alan Goodman,
JFS executive director. "This
decision was primarily because
of funding source changes. Now
that we know where we stand
financially, I had to decide how
to use the money we have. Giv-
en budget and program reali-
ties, it makes more sense to
expand our direct service staff,
eliminate the program manag-
er position and put the whole
program under the head of the
Children, Adult and Family
Service (CAFS) department."
The decision to let Ms. Jaffa
go came shortly after Arlene

A

Goldberg left her position as di-
rector of CAFS. Mr. Goodman
said this was the catalyst to re-
structuring JFS staff and
putting more money into hiring
direct service staff such as so-
cial workers.
Ms. Jaffa, who said she is up-
set with the decision to elimi-
nate her position, is in the
process of looking for a new job.
"I'm very disappointed," she
said. "I feel like I worked on this
program and it's been my baby
for the past four years. This
whole thing came as a shock."
Perhaps the biggest change
at JFS is Sandy Hyman's move
from director of Resettlement
Service to her new job as CAFS
director. Because WINDOWS
is in the CAFS department, Ms.
Hyman will oversee its opera-
tions. JFS is looking to fill Ms.
Hyman's former job.
Funding sources for WIN-
DOWS has changed, according
to Mr. Goodman. The program
was initiated with a five-year
$1.2 million start-up grant from

the Skillman Foundation that
has since expired.
The program is now funded
by another, almost equal grant
from the Kresge Foundation.
The grant funds 5 percent of the
agency's $2 million endowment
goal. It also provides JFS with
three years of $100,000 in op-
erating costs, plus up to
$666,000 in extra endow-
ment funds if JFS reaches its
target. ❑
