of Jewish experience in Ameri-
ca was to recreate Jewish schol-
arship, preserving our books,
literature, archives and libraries
and build an infrastructure of
scholars that would carry on the
tradition in America," Mr. Siegel
said.
"We've been able to replicate
and create a basic Jewish schol-
arship in America that no one
would have thought possible 25
years ago, when there were two
chairs of Jewish studies in all of
the United States in non-sectar-
ian institutions—one at Harvard
and one at Columbia.
"Today, we have hundreds of
chairs of Jewish studies in secu-
lar universities across the Unit-
ed States, and we have thousands
of students taking courses in Jew-
ish studies.
The University of Michigan,
represented by Professor Todd
Endelman on the foundation's
Academic Advisory Committee,
and Michigan State University
offer advanced education in Jew-
ish studies.
"Three of our board members
are from Detroit," reported Mr.
Siegel, who also works closely
with Theodore Bikel and Leonard
Nimoy, members of the founda-
tion's Artistic Advisory Commit-
tee.
"George Zeltzer, one of the
founding members of our board
of directors, now chairs our en-
dowment campaign. James Au-
gust, founding president of the
Jewish Ensemble Theatre, and
Madeleine Harris (Madge)
Berman are very involved with
the arts community.
"There are now discussions
about the foundation working
with the Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit on a study
of the Jewish cultural environ-
ment in the Detroit area and a
plan for facilitating the growth of
more cultural activity, both from
a funding level on one side and
perhaps a council of Jewish cul-
tural presenters on the other side.
"While we don't have a specif-
ic program agenda, we do have a
broader agenda of helping to en-
rich the Jewish cultural life of the
Detroit community much more
comprehensively.
"It's being discussed on a very
preliminary level, but we are hop-
ing that in the fall we will begin
more substantive discussions and
in the course of the next year or
two reach completion of the study
and perhaps a set of recommen-
dations that would determine the
next steps.
"It would serve as a model for
other communities that are not
yet as aware or sensitive to the
cultural concerns within their
community as I find exists in De-
troit, where people understand
the important impact culture can
have on the quality of life of the
Jewish community." LI
