"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."

Jeffrey Garden: "Educational powerhouse." THE JEWISH NEWS dents through a deli dinner or ice cream social. "But the topic is what makes it or breaks it," Rab- bi J says, as well as a little per- sonal attention. For example, phone campaigns produce re- sults, but pasting up fliers does not. "People like personal con- tact." ❑ scious," he said. "Th develop their Jewish identities in fa communi- ty high school] would be an in- credible resource," he said. 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. High school committee mem bers will not go on record regard ing the potential sources o start-up funding for this proje but in 1995 Oakland Mall deve oper Jay Kogan pledged a $4- lion challenge grant for buildin CLASS OF 2002 page 32
