After coming home a few hours later, Bubbie had tucked the children in bed, folded all my family's laundry, cleaned the refrigerator and polished the silverware. This, she said, was all done in her 'spare time,' Nadiv said. Even though Kutnick wears a pace- maker, fellow Hechtman resident Eve C. Lieberman describes her friend as one who can't slow down: "People rely on her. If she promises someone something, then it's done — regard- less of how she feels. Kutnick's family describes her as always leading in her own quiet way, not looking to lead or gain praise. Her four- generation family explains that Kutnick lives her life by putting others first and having a loving and giving heart. That lesson is shared generation to generation within the family. "With all her good deeds and won- derful reputation, the community truly has a jewel in her. Most importantly, her family has been blessed to call her our mom and Bubble," wrote Kutnick's family. " Anne Mondrow A strong commitment to Israel is some- thing Anne Mondrow has had all her life. Her volunteer efforts and fund-rais- ing have helped to strength- en the coun- try and peo- ple she holds dear to her heart. "I'm a Zionist and my family was very commit- ted to Israel. I continued that feeling. I always felt that if we had no Israel, we would have no Jews. That's our land and our background," Mondrow said. Mondrow has visited Israel seven times and has family living there. Her efforts to strengthen the land can be seen through her lifetime of work at Na'amat, NA/here the 91-year-old woman serves as treasurer. Na'amat raises money that supports day care centers and voca- tional schools in Israel. Mondrow volunteers at Jewish Association of Residential Care. She helped coordinate educational seminars that brought staff from the Michigan Jewish AIDS Coalition (MJAC) to Na'amat discussion groups. "She felt it was important that all ages be aware of AIDS. She wanted the issues known so that women could talk with their grandchildren and great- grandchildren about the issue. She's quite a forward-thinking and modern woman," said Linda Lee, a MJAC board member and Mondrow's great-niece. "Anne doesn't see herself as anything special. She does what she does because she loves doing it," Lee said. Mondrow agreed: "It's part of our life as Jews to give back to the community If we don't help the community, how can it be strong?" Lee views Mondrow as a role model because she lives an ethical life and leads by example. She has cared for her older sisters and always lends a hand to people in need. Lee said that even when Mondrow lost her husband and a daughter early in life, she always looked forward to a new day. IT'S GOOD TO HAVE HOBBIES... INSTALLING AIR CONDITIONERS IS OURS! 10 Pt.

However, his idea to have 1-696 pass beneath Charlotte Rothstein Park in Oak Park might be his biggest achievement. "His idea of the 696 underpass saved the Jewish com- munity in Oak Park and Southfield. He con- vinced people not to move to West BloOmfield and forsake the old Jewish neighborhoods," wrote friend Emanuel Mittelman. Saltsman helped build the Young Israel of Oak-Woods congregation and continues his three decades of activity with Young Israel of Oak Park. He has been involved in Machon LTorah since its inception nearly 20 years ago and spends much of his time creating a Judaic Library and Resource Center for the organization. Also, for over four decades, Saltsman has held various posi- tions with Yeshiva Beth Yehudah. "Alex has an unending focus and con- centration in building a community that would become educated, impassioned and saturated with Jewish values. He has transformed hundreds, if not thousands, of Jewish institutions in their growth between 1950 and today," wrote Young Israel of Oak Park Rabbi Steven Wed.
