MILLENNIUM.

Some say affordable day school education is a lot

like the weather: Everybody complains about it,
but no one does anything about it.

Council Awards
Area Youth

The Jewish Community Council hon-
ored the North American Federation
of Temple Youth (NFTY) and Adat
Shalom Synagogue's Youth and
Education program with the first and
second place Walter E. Klein Youth
Awards at its May meeting at the
Detroit Historical Museum.
The award, which recognizes out-
standing special action programming
by area youth groups, was given to
NFTY for the 1999 REACH
(Reaching Everyone and Creating
Harmony) retreat. The retreat was
organized by 23 high school students
from both NFTY and Detroit's Jack
and Jill youth group, who worked
together to plan and facilitate a social
and educational weekend for fourth
and fifth graders from the two com-
munities. Orchards Children's Services
provided both the link between the
two youth groups and training for the
retreat staff.
Adat Shalom's Youth and Education
program received second place honors
for its work with Habitat for
Humanity. 14 members of the group
gave up their mid-winter vacations to
travel to Leesberg, Fla., working side
by side with a diverse group of volun-
teers to enable someone less fortunate
to become a homeowner.
Adat Shalom's Beth Achim
Religious School also received an hon-
orable mention along with Akiva
Hebrew Day School and Habonim
Dror-Detroit.
Council board member Carol
Weintraub Fogel chaired the award
committee, which bestows the Klein
Award annually. It was named in
honor of the late Walter E. Klein, a
past executive director of the Jewish
Community Council.

Lois and Milton Shiffman are doing something
about it. And in a big way.

When this philanthropic couple heard that many
families with a sincere desire to send their
children to a Jewish day school could not afford
the fees, the Shiffmans decided to create a seven-
figure tuition assistance fund to make it possible.

Longtime donors to the annual Allied Jewish
Campaign, the Shiffmans are making this special
contribution through the Millennium Campaign
for Detroit's Jewish Future, sponsored by the
Jewish Federation and United Jewish Foundation
of Metropolitan Detroit.

We are grateful to the Shiffmans for their
investment in the children of our community.
One day, these youngsters will help shape our
community and lead it to new heights of
greatness.

Thanks a millennium.
