Sale ends Friday April 3rd, 1998 at 6pm. from page 36 Detroit Serves The Community I was very interested to read your por- trait of the University of Michigan STaR Program ("Rising STaR" Feb. 6). The growth of the graduate pro- grams which prepare professionals for the wide range of leadership positions `—` in the Jewish community shows the maturation of the North American Jewish community. As the Jewish community becomes more diverse and faces the challenge of sustaining meaningful Jewish life in an open society, the need for imagina- tive, energetic and well-skilled profes- sionals grows. In 1969, the Benjamin S. Horn- stein Program at Brandeis University was the first graduate program designed specifically to train Jewish communal professionals in a course of study integrating contemporary Jewish studies, professional skills and classical Judaica. PROJECT STAR Our 450 alumni work in settings thought the Jewish community. We have approximately 40 full-time stu- dents (not 20 as stated in the article) and offer continuing education pro- grams to lay and professional leaders. Our students can specialize their stud- ies in philanthropy and fund-raising, advocacy and community relations or Jewish education. Most are "generalists," prepared to work in JCCs, federations, youth organizations, synagogues and the range of settings in which Jewish activity takes place. We are encouraged by the develop- ment of the STaR Program and others. Jewish communal service is a field which offers professionals the oppor- tunity for rewarding careers and wel- comes committed and competent peo- ple. Detroit has long been recognized as a community in which lay and profes- sional leaders work effectively and are not afraid to experiment. Your Federa- tion's support of graduate education for Jewish communal professionals is to be admired. Professor Susan L. Shevitz Director, Hornstein Program in Jewish Communal Service, Brandeis University
