The new individual will han-
die phone calls, fund -raisingand
also teach. Machon raises mon-
ey via an anneal dinner, concert
and raffle.
"We are planning to expand
significantly our lunch-and-
learn program, we already have
nine locations," says Rabbi Ja-
cobovitz. Machon will also in-
crease its home-study groups
and monthly, larger lunch pro-
grams which feature out-of-
town speakers.
Machon is all hands-on. Rab-
bis Jacobovitz and Kirzner sit
at information tables on college
campuses, and Rabbi Jacobovitz
travels wherever he is invited,
to speak — no matter the
weather or the distance.
"We always said the human
being is composed of two parts
— the horse and the rider. The
horse is the body, and the rid-
er is the soul."

The horse is overfed, and the
rider undernourished, "left
alone to die of thirst," says Rab-
bi Jaeobovitz.
"Our sages tell us there'll be
a time [of] hunger in the land of
famine --- not hunger for bread,
hunger for Hashem," says Rab-
bi Jacobovitz. During the last
year and a half, "people are re-
ally waking up."
The last three or four gener-
ations of American Jews
strayed away from Judaism.
Until 15-20 years ago, "many
had developed a resentment for
Yiddishkeit and that venom
they managed to give over to
their kids," he says.
"That is gone. Today's gener-
ation is so devoid and distanced
from Judaism. It's a generation
that really is in a sense an in-
nocent, pure generation. They
don't have the hang-ups of their
grandparents" to prevent them
from looking in their own back
yard." L

Rabbi Nevins, who attended a
Jewish high school after graduat-
ing from a public middle school in
New Jersey, said he is convinced
"that the only place you can get
a substantial Jewish education is
in a day-school environment."
According to Rabbi Nevins,
community-wide Jewish high

schools are a growing nationwide
phenomenon, with schools re-
cently established in Boston,
Cleveland, Atlanta and Min-
neapolis.
In planning the high school,
committee members have solicit-
ed advice from educational lea
ers and administrators of Jewish
high schools around the country.
Assuming funding is in place, they
hope to begin recruiting educators
for the Detroit school in the corn-
ing months.
In a newsletter produced by th
high school committee, Rabb'
Nevins promises that in additio
to excelling in Jewish education
the proposed school will "offer
best academic instruction possi
ble" and will include arts, athlet
ics and other extracurricula
activities. Yet, despite the 199
goal, many major details in
eluding funding, tuition and loca
tion — have yet to be resolved.

bers will not go on record regard
