earching for a life in a more
urban setting, away from strip
malls, subdivisions and traffic,
the Jews living in the Royal Oak
area have also found themselves isolated
from larger parts of the Jewish commu-
nity- in sometimes surprising ways.
Miriam Foner-Gould, speaking at a
Jewish Community Council of
Metropolitan Detroit Town Hall
meeting, said the bulk mail touting
Jewish events or programs gets to her
Royal Oak home too late for her to
plan to attend. She suggested the
organizations use direct mail for out-
lying communities instead.
Foner-Gould was voicing con-
cerns both as a resident of the Royal
Oak area and a representative of the
B'nai B'rith Youth Organization.
This second of five meetings
planned by Jewish organizations to
reach out to those who live outside
the core Jewish area of Oak Park
north to West Bloomfield, drew 35
people to the Royal Oak Woman's
Club on Dec. 2. They were young and
older, single and married, with and
without children. David Gad-Harf,
executive director of the Jewish
Community Council — incongruously
sharing the podium with two poinset-
tia shrubs set up for Christmas —
asked the crowd why Jews lived in the
area and how the Jewish organizations
could help.
"People are more middle-class here,"
said Janine Kovitz, a Royal Oak resi-
dent with three children. "There's not
all that emphasis on house, money and
what other kids have. A lot of moms
here don't work."
Besides the easy access to Detroit,
many like the older homes, mature
trees and sidewalks used by bicyclists
and walkers.
Janine Kovitz makes a point.
Gad-Harf noted that several people
indicated "ambivalent" feelings about
being Jewish. They felt isolated and
wanted the organizations to extend
themselves, but many enjoyed living in
an environment that wasn't strictly
Jewish.
