ne year after

getting
knocked by a highly critical
evaluation, the Agency for
Jewish Education of
Metropolitan Detroit reported last
week that it is on the right track to
improving its services to community
schools, teachers
and students.
"I think what
we did find is that
we've been more
responsive to the
teachers' issues
and reached out
to them and their
needs," said Lynda Giles, stepping
down after two years as AJE president.
She said the greatest need was to
intensify and diversify school services,
such as teacher education.
The AJE's annual meeting, June 9

at the D. Dan & Betty Kahn Building
of the Jewish Community Center, also
honored 117 congregational teachers
who completed training workshops
under the NIRIM Professional
Enrichment Program for Jewish
Educators.
"These teachers are on the front
lines for the Jewish people," said Rabbi
Saul Berman of New York, the event's
keynote speaker,
who addressed an
audience of 130
in the art gallery
of the JCC. "The
more the commu-
nity can support
them, the more
all will benefit."
Said new AJE
Executive Director Judah Isaacs, "Every
teacher I talked to felt as though they
were the honoree. I think everyone saw
the AJE in a different light."
The Jewish Education Service of

Educatio n agency
says i t has
regained its focus.
