memories of listening to variety and
news shows with her parents.
A 1953 photo of the first baby
born at Sinai Hospital elicited a
show of the kids' hands indicating
that most of them were born there,
too.
Hillel's Allison Pilcowitz saw the
exhibit as "a time machine where
you get to go to a different time to
see what your ancestors did." Many
of the adults also felt they were
going back in time. Photos of store-
fronts reminded Florence Meltzer of
her father in his jewelry store, where
"he accepted notes for payment" and
"broke up jewels to raise funds."
Studying the pictures, Hillel's
Danya Weltman noticed that "peo-
ple lived on top of their stores."
Esther Fealk remembered the
stores in the photos, as well as the
streetcar track that ran nearby. Sid
Garelick recognized a "fruit deli
where I used to eat lunch."
Student Lizzy Lovinger looked
down at the display from an upstairs
railing. With the display walls
shaped like branches of a blue and
white menorah, she said, Its nice
knowing I am a descendent of this
Jewish family."
Beginning 100 years ago, when
Eastern European immigrants
arrived to join the 5,000 Jews
already here, the display follows a
time line showing population
increases, the addition of schools
and synagogues, and continues
through today's Rekindling Shabbat
program.
A photo from the 1996 Teen
Mission to Israel was, as Sharon
Alterman, director of the Leonard
N. Simons Jewish Community
Archives at Federation, told the kids,
chosen as a final photo because "you
are our future.”
Of special interest to the students
was the photo of the 1953 opening
of Fresh Air Society's campgrounds
in Ortonville.

They also reacted to the familiar
name of Congregation Shaarey
Zedek. After being told the syna-
gogue set up cots in its basement
during the Great Depression, they
said they didn't know the congrega-
tion used to be somewhere else. A
photo of well-dressed people lined
up for free lunches was indicative of
those with sudden loss of wealth.
Fleischman's Garelick remembered
how his father, who closed his gro-
cery store on Saturdays and Sundays,
took the leftover food and gave it
away to those who needed it."
Esther Fealk recalled how, in 1935,
she and her sister went with their
mother to "volunteer during the
Depression at a landsmanshaftn (an
organization of immigrants who
came from the same town in
Europe) to support those in Eastern
Europe."
The kids had never heard of
Detroit Central High School, but its
photo recalled memories by former
students of its one-time label, the
"Jewish school." The students did
recognize the name of Jewish Home
and Aging Services (JHAS) in pho-
-tos. A few of them having visited the
Fleischman Residence. Several of the
Fleischman group recognized Hillel's
photo as a place where their family
members went to school.
Hillel's Alex Orley saw himself in
a 1993 photo of his family attending
the JCC Walk for Israel. Hannah
Gross found her picture in a David
Horodoeker photo. When classmates
called out, "There's Hillel!" Zach
Slabotsky, Brad Gordon and Erin
Wolf discovered they were in a
photo in the modern Jewish day
school display. Wolf found being in
the exhibit "so cool because I got to
be part of history.
Bertha Cohen, who came to
Detroit from Russia through Ellis
Island in 1922, explored decades of
photos. She did not find any of her-
self, and settled for seeing her face in
one of the mirrored squares inter-
spersed between the photos to allow
visitors to place themselves in
Detroit Jewish history.
Suddenly, Carol Dressler, JHAS
assistant program director from
Fleischman, shouted out, "Here you
are!" There was Cohen in a 1998
photo of a group gathered around a
piano, titled "JHAS Club in the
Plaza." Cohen smiled knowing she
made it into the collection of photos
of Detroit's first 100 years. 11
