Exhibit Traces History
Of Detroit Jewry

Jewish Federation Executive Vice
President Robert Aronson and his
daughter Natasha scan the exhibit floor
from the second level of the JCC.

Exhibit designer Joe Hines of
Greenfield Village worked with Guyer
and other Exhibit Committee members
to create the theme: a seven-branched
menorah that mirrors Federation's logo.
Each branch is a freestanding tabernacle
and represents an important period of
the past century.
The colors — red, blue and gold —
are the Bible's description of the ones
chosen for the tabernacle.

is a 100-year family photo album of
Detroit Jewry.
Local landmarks and familiar faces fill
the photos that comprise both the
menorah and the family album.
"Hundreds of photos and artifacts
will bring back many childhood memo-
ries. And if you're too young to have
experienced many of these events, you'll
understand what your parents and
grandparents were talking about," said
Harold Berry, co-chair of the 100-Year
Celebration Committee, along with
Michael Maddin and Carolyn
Greenberg.
Addressing the 150 guests at the
reception, he added: "I see the names
and places that were part of my own
growing up years, the organizations and
leaders who made our community great,
and the historic events that were met
with such courage and foresight."
Exhibit hours are 7 a.m. to 9:30
p.m. Monday-Thursday; 7 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. Friday; 1-7 p.m. Saturday;

beryl Guyer gazed into the
crowd amid a backdrop of
historic photos and artifacts
that help tell the story of
Detroit Jewry over the past 100 years,
and said:
"Our exhibit tells how it all hap-
pened. How we took in immigrants and
helped them to become Americans, how
we struggled through the Depression,
how we watched young men become
soldiers, then joined in the fight of
Israel's rebirth, and how we built the
institutions and molded the leadership
that made Detroit great."
Guyer chairs the Exhibit Committee
that opened "Memory and Vision: A
Celebration of Jewish Community,
1899-1999" at a special reception host-
ed by the Allied Jewish Campaign
Quarter Century Club and the 100-Year
Celebration Committee on Nov. 28.
The free exhibit marks the 100th
anniversary of organized Jewish philan-
thropy in Detroit. It runs through
March 15 in the lobby of the Kahn
Jewish Community Center at Maple
and Drake in West Bloomfield.
The Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit and its
banking/real estate arm, the United
Jewish Foundation of Metropolitan
Detroit, are co-sponsors.
