Federation's new Millennium Campaign
stresses the roles of the JCC and synagogues
in building Jewish continuity.
JULIE WIENER
Staff Writer
A
fter more than a decade of
discussion, the need for
Jewish continuity is well
understood. In the next two
years, if all goes according to the plan
of the Detroit area's major Jewish
agencies, the consensus will be trans-
lated into a $50-million reality.
Last week, the United Jewish
Foundation of Metropolitan Detroit
and the Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit approved an
ambitious fundraising drive called the
Millennium Campaign. The campaign
brings the already-approved $25 mil-
the JCC campaign is to transform the
JCC into the "center" of informal
Jewish education in the community.
The centerpiece of the Jewish Life
Fund, said Aronson, will be the
Detroit Congregational Initiative, a
joint Federation/synagogue committee
overseeing an endowment of $10 mil-
lion with "an appropriate amount allo- (1\
cated annually by the United Jewish
Foundation as a matching grant."
The Detroit Congregational
Initiative will "ask congregations to
develop innovative funding proposals
to improve their educational system,
both as individual synagogues and col-
laboratively," wrote Aronson in a
paper describing the Millennium

lion Jewish Community Center capital
campaign to upgrade its facilities
under the same umbrella as a $25 mil-
lion Jewish Life Fund. Donors of $1
million or more will have the option
of designating their gift to one of
these funds. "The alternative was to
do these two campaigns separately, but
we wanted to do it all at once,"
explained Federation Executive Vice
President Bob Aronson.
According to Aronson, the goal of
Campaign. "Special attention will be
paid to those proposals which engage
more children in our school system
and upgrade the skills of teachers,
administrators and professionals who
make the difference in the schools."
Community funding for congrega-
tional schools is a significant departure
from the status quo. Currently, after-
noon schools receive occasional grants
for special projects and benefit from
