Federation Grants Aid Many Programs The Jewish Federation of Met- ropolitan Detroit has approved more than $143,000 in grants for 11 innovative programs spon- sored by community and campus organizations, synagogues and Federation agencies. The grants, from the Max M. Fisher Jewish Community Foun- dation, will be used for programs to enhance Jewish life and pro- vide support to people with dis- abilities. Grant money comes from a pool of unrestricted funds held by the United Jewish Foundation and administered by Federation. One such program received a $10,000 grant for the third year of a Reform and Conservative spon- sored series of Shabbat services for singles. Last year, all Reform and Conservative congregations participated in the 11 Shabbat services, which ranged in atten- dance from 200-400 singles. Keshet, and organization which aims to alleviate the feel- ings of isolation and frustration experienced by families of chil- dren with special needs, received a third year grant of $11,000. This program provides a sense of community to families through workshops, multi-support groups and family holiday celebrations. Keshet also consults with local agencies about development of programs for their children. The B'nai B'rith Youth Orga- nization (BBYO) and the Agency for Jewish Education (AJE) re- ceived a $4,200 grant which will go toward Jewish programming for BBYO members. The pro- grams, being funded for the third year, are planned by BBYO members in consultation with the AJE education staff. The AJE's Stepping Stones program was granted $20,000 for outreach to unaffiliated and in- terfaith families. Stepping Stones works with a consortium of Re- form and Conservative congre- gations along with the AJE's Jewish Experiences for Families (JEFF). The two-year family ed- ucation program urges graduates to raise their children in a Jew- ish environment and to join a con- gregation upon completion. This is the third year of the grant. The AJE's Hebrew Interactive Learning Center, in association with the University of Michigan, received $10,000 to upgrade its computer video program that augments the teaching of the He- brew language. A first-year grant of $20,000 was given to the AJE's JEFF pro- gram to develop community out- reach activities for single parents. JEFF will be working with a number of other community agencies in the development of events. A $18,169 grant was approved for partial funding of a staff po- sition at Michigan State Univer- sity (MSU). The MSU Jewish Studies Program has developed a Jewish faculty and staff, creat- ed lunch-and-learn programs and a has offered additional cours- es. The Jewish Community Cen- ter (JCC) was granted a $20,000 to complete a comprehensive pro- gram to provide social, educa- tional and fitness activities to people with various disabilities. The Center is working with oth- er Jewish communal agencies to expand its services for the phys- ically, visually and hearing im- paired. The Center also received a first-year grant of $25,000 to co- ordinate community programs that promote intergenerational activity among youth, parents and grand-parents. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has received a one-year grant for $5,000, to be augment- ed by matching dollars raised by ADL, to bring six teen-agers of Ethiopian, Sephardic and Ashke- nazi descent to the United States. The six teen-agers will learn with a mixed ethnic group of high school students in the hope it will encourage positive attitudes to- ward Jews and the state of Israel. For its third year, Jewish Fam- ily Service (JFS) will allocate un- used funds from previous years to provide personal car services for aging residents of the JFS Group Apartments for the El- derly.
