Education
Panel Ends
First Stage
A community panel charged with
developing a mega-plan for Jewish
education has completed its first stage.
The 40-person Alliance for Jewish
Education of Metropolitan Detroit
wrapped up a series of lectures and
discussions this week with a visit from
Dr. Ron Wolfson, one of the archi
tects of a national pilot project to
make synagogues more welcoming
and spiritually nourishing.
Since November, the Alliance, a
Jewish Federation of Metropolitan
Detroit committee composed of
Federation representatives, Jewish
Community Center leaders, rabbis and
stakeholders in various educational insti-
tutions, has met on seven occasions to
be briefed on the issues and be inspired
by successful Jewish education initiatives
in other communities.
The meetings to this point have been
closed to the press. Harlene Appelman,
the director of the Alliance, said she has
been "protective" of the process in order
to provide a "safe space, where we can
openly discuss issues in the community,
with warts and all."
Nov the Alliance will split into five
workgroups focusing not on specific
institutions or constituencies, but on
educational services for different age
groups, such as small children and teens.
Each group will issue recommendations
to the Alliance in the fall. These recom-
mendations are expected to be the basis
of a larger plan on how to strengthen
and support Jewish education in Detroit.
Individual Alliance members said
they were pleased with the process so far.
"It's been absolutely inspiring," said
Rabbi Avraham Cohen, a Yeshiva Beth
Yehudah teacher who also coordinates
an adult learning program called
Partners In Torah:
Paul Magy, a board member at Adat
Shalom, said, "I've been on a lot of com-
mittees, and they're usually more rubber
stamp oriented, which can be frustrating.
That definitely isn't the case here."
The idea for the Alliance came last
summer, after an outside evaluation of
the Agency for Jewish Education criti-
cized Detroit for its "fuzziness" in over-
all planning on education. Chairing
the Alliance are Federation Immediate
Past President Robert Naftaly and
Agency for Jewish Education President
Dr. Lynda Gilts.
