North America report, released last
July, was a leading factor in the intro-
duction of new, intensive programs.
The JESNA report gave poor grades to
some of AJE's largest programs. At
the same time, it found a "fuzziness"
in AJE's overall planning for programs
and services. Only the special-needs
education program drew universally
favorable ratings.
"JESNA said what the AJE was
doing were one-time, easy things,"
Isaacs said. "There was nothing long-
term for veteran teachers."
The initiatives this year, he said,
were a response to the JESNA report
and developed as educators defined
what they want from us."
James Jonas, former president of
Temple Israel, took over as AJE presi-
dent with words of praise for Giles.
"Lynda set us on a course to do
more collaborative programming with
agencies and congregations," he said.
"The reality is that we have to go to
the audience and attract people with
what they want."
Jonas said he wanted to keep the
seven-year-old agency focused on spe-
cific programs. Our rabbis teach us
that if we try to do too much, we will
accomplish very little," he noted.
Giles echoed that sentiment:
"When we started, we tried to jump
in and meet all the needs of the com-
munity."
Parr of keeping the agency focused
comes from Federation's Alliance for
Jewish Education, a group of 40 edu-
cators, clergy and communal represen-
tatives formed a year ago to oversee
Jewish education in Detroit and create
both a vision and a direction.
AJE, which has 25 full- and part-
time staffers and an annual budget of
S1.5 million, seeks to collaborate with
other local agencies, congregations and
schools in programming, as well as to
develop Jewish education at a variety
of levels and age groups.
Next year, AAJE will spend
$98,000 to help pay for special educa-
tors to work with special-needs stu-
dents in 23 day supplementary and
nursery schools, up from 16 this year.
Officers installed in addition to
Jonas included Arthur Horwitz and
Bernard Mindell, vice presidents; -
Gayle Burstein, treasurer, and Paula
Glazier, secretary. Installed as board
members were Susie Citrin, Sy
Finklestein, Linda Goodman, Alyssa
Martina, Mindy Nathan, Robert
Schostak, Sari Cicurel, James
Hooberman, Maxwell Nadis, Laura
Rice, Elizabeth Kahn and Nancy
Singer. I I
