wo Jewish Southfield city
council members,
Suzanne Goldstein and
Eli Robinson, announced
last week that they would not
run for re-election this fall.
A council member for 16
years, Ms. Goldstein said she is
- leaving to spend more time with
her family. "It's time to pass on
the torch to other capable peo-
ple," she said.
Ms. Goldstein said she is
proud of her record. She has
served as both president and
vice president of the council,
worked to strengthen ties be-
tween the council and the school
board and has helped to imple-
ment numerous programs, such
as community policing and the
formation of the Total Living
Commission (to maintain
Southfield's diversity).
Ms. Goldstein said she has
also worked to defend the in-

aren't always [prepared] or
bring in other agendas."
A native of Detroit, Ms. Gold-
stein moved to Southfield 33
years ago and is a member of
Congregation Beth Abraham
Hillel Moses. She has been dis-
appointed to see so many Jew-
ish individuals and institutions
move from older suburbs like
Southfield and Oak Park to ar-

terests of Southfield's Orthodox
Jewish community. "I stood up
for the eruv [a boundary en-
abling observant Jews to carry
things on Shabbat in accordance
with Jewish law] and convinced
council that it was not detri-
mental," she said. She said she
also "fought diligently' to ensure
that the Orthodox community
"got the things they were de-
serving of," such as construction
of Freeway Park, over 1-696
near Greenfield and Lincoln
roads.
Serving on council was not
without its challenges. "It's chal-
lenging bringing seven people
with different backgrounds, dif-
ferent levels of intelligence and
different beliefs to a table ... and
making sure that•what is de-
cided is best for the people of
Southfield," said Ms. Goldstein.
She tried to "do her homework"
ahead of time, but it was "frus-
trating when you come to the
table well prepared and others

eas "farther and
farther north-
west." To stem
the move, Ms.
Goldstein has
been active in
Neighborhood Project, a pro-
gram sponsored by the Jewish
Federation of Metropolitan De-
troit that provides mortgage as-
sistance for Jews buying homes
in Southfield and Oak Park.
Although she is looking for-
ward to having more time, Ms.
Goldstein says it's "going to be
hard leaving" city council.
Eli Robinson has served on
the Southfield city council since
1985. "Pm looking to decompress
for about a year ... [city council]
has been a constant pressure
cooker," he said of his decision
not to seek re-election.
A full-time accountant, Mr.
Robinson said he has devoted
much of his efforts on council to
ensuring the city's financial sta-
bility. "I've always raised the is-
sue of finances and
responsibility," he said. He is
proud that, under his watch, the
city has always enjoyed a bal-
