Land For Care Jewish Family Service and Sinai Hospital receive a joint grant to provide services to aging Holocaust survivors. marketing and development at JFS, said part of the money will go to a program that provides home-based meal preparation, companion and housekeeping services to Holocaust survivors with little income. JULIE EDGAR SENIOR WRITER D r. Charles Slow has built a psychotherapy practice on counseling people who survived the worst calamity in modern history. The work has been rewarding, if not exactly lucrative. But with a joint grant that was just awarded to Jewish Family Service and Sinai Hos- pital, which administers his therapeutic services for Holo- caust survivors, Dr. Silow will be able to offer support groups in the West Bloomfield area. Likewise, JFS will be able to ex- pand its existing home-based care program to older and frail Holocaust survivors throughout the metro area. The program currently serves approximately 250 survivors. The grant, through the Con- ference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, pro- vides $89,000 per year for three years. The money is coming from the sale of unclaimed property once owned by Jews in the for- mer East Germany. A spokesperson for the con- ference said $90 million in grants awarded to agencies in 22 regions and cities represent the third round of allocations since the restitution program was instituted in 1990. He ex- pects the program to continue as properties are sold. It could take another decade to process all the claims that have deluged the conference. The joint JFS-Sinai grant money will be administered by an as-yet-unformed advisory committee comprised of sur- vivors. Sinai and JFS will meet early next month to put togeth- er a committee. Marcia Mittleman, director of Dr. Charles Silow: Helping survivors. 20% off everyday 20% off everyday 20% "It's really exciting for us that we can make a difference in people's lives. Many of these Holocaust survivors are getting frail and old and need assis- tance," she said. The advisory committee will also serve to identify survivors in the community who might need help. Dr. Silow has been running sup- port groups for sur- vivors at the Jewish Community Center in Oak Park for three years, often for free. Part of the grant money will fund weekly sup- port groups at the Jewish Community Center in West Bloomfield and com- pensate him for his services. Dr. Silow and JFS applied for a $1 million grant a year ago, hoping for funding for Cafe Eu- ropa, a monthly coffeehouse for sur- vivors, a monthly Yiddish film series, individual and fam- ily therapy, and more comprehen- sive health-care services for ag- ing survivors. "Our only disappointment," said Dr. Silow, "is that more monies should have been grant- ed, especially to provide health care for individuals, assistance with home health care, Meals on Wheels, and all kinds of health aids. As the aging sur- vivor population grows, we're go- ing to see a greater need for assistance, both physical and emotional. "The survivors have, by defi- nition, survived the worst calamity that has ever occurred. Now they're faced with a foe they cannot survive, which is the aging process," Dr. Silow said. There are an estimated 3,000 Holocaust survivors living in the metro Detroit area. ❑ Corrections The name ofJenna Golden- berg was misspelled in the May 23 Here's To list of the Groves High School Future Problem Solving state cham- pionship team.
