What's In A Name?

Proposed Jewish high school
announces it will follow Conservative,
not community-wide, guidelines.

p

roponents originally called it
a community Jewish high
school, but as plans unfold-
ed, it became clear their
vision of community was under dis-
pute.
This week, members of the newly
incorporated New Jewish High
School Association clarified that the
high school now under discussion
will be open to the community at
large but will operate, like Hillel Day
School, according to Conservative
guidelines.
Among the guidelines: The
Reform policy of patrilineal descent
will not be recognized, and only chil-
dren with Jewish mothers will be
admitted.
"I want to emphasize that there has
never ever been a philosophy change
on the school, but there may have
been a misunderstanding," said Steve
Schanes, a board member of the New
Jewish High School Association.
"This is an extension of Hillel Day
School, but will be open to a broader
segment of the community and will
offer separate tracks so anyone at any
level of Judaism will be able to attend.
The only change we've made is a
change in the name.
"There was a difference of opinion
in terms of what the formation com-
mittee believed to be 'community' and
what others in the community felt the
definition should be ... Therefore,
we've decided to take the word 'com-
munity' out.
Plans for a new Jewish high
school took off about two years ago
when millionaire developer and Hil-
lel supporter Jay Kogan pledged a $4
million challenge grant to establish a
high school at Hillel, which current-
ly goes through the eighth grade.
But early on, planners decided to
make the school an independent
entity rather than a component of
Hillel and Kogan withdrew his . sup-
port.
In the past few months, the school's
planning committee has formally

incorporated, raised approximately
$200,000 in pledges from individual
donors and requested funding from
the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan
Detroit.
A Federation board of governors
vote is scheduled for late February.
Dr. Richard Krugel, who chairs Fed-

eration's planning and allocations
steering committee, predicts the corn-
mittee will approve a substantial allo-
cation of start-up funds to the new
school.
It was in the process of Federation's
review of the . school's funding propos-
al that questions surfaced concerning
the definition of a "community"
school.

tive Vice President Bob Aronson
