THE KAUFMAN COMMUNITY CORNER

AMERICAN ARABIC and JEWISH FRIENDS
A Program of
The Greater Detroit Interfaith Round Table

The American Arabic and Jewish Friends organization was
established in 1981 to promote greater understanding between our
two communities in Southeastern Michigan. We welcome as members
all American citizens of Arabic and Jewish descent who support this
objective, regardless of their views on other issues.

"The Friends" promote cultural, educational and social awareness
through youth programs; sponsor forums and the regular "Friends
Are Talking" Luncheons; award scholarships to high school seniors
of Arabic and Jewish descent; host an Annual Dinner to raise funds
for college scholarships for our youths and present Community
Service Awards to leaders of each community.
For more information about joining The Friends, or to contribute to the
scholarship fund, contact Christine Reid (313) 869-6306.
