Forum Focus:
1930s Detroit

The noted writer Robert Rockaway
presents a lecture on "From Crisis to
Community: Jewish Detroit in the
1930s" 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 21, at
the D. Dan & Betty Kahn Building of
the Jewish Community Center of
Metropolitan Detroit.
Rockaway, Jewish history professor
at Tel Aviv University, will explore the
national and local societal forces that
led to forming the Jewish Community
Council. His talk will be held along-
side the Council's archival exhibit,
"Sixty Years of Working Together for
Justice and Harmony," which runs
through September in the lobby of the
Kahn Building in West Bloomfield.
In October, the Council archival
exhibit moves to Henry Ford Museum
in Dearborn.
A native Detroiter, Rockaway wrote
the definitive history on 19th-century
Jewish Detroit, The Jews of Detroit:
From the Beginning, 1762-1914. He
also has written three other books and
many articles on American history and
modern Jewish history. Rockaway
joined the Department of Jewish
History at Tel Aviv University in 1971.
He has appeared on radio and televi-
sion in Israel and the United States.
The Jewish Community Council
commissioned the archival exhibit in
commemoration of its 60th anniver-
sary as the public affairs voice of the
Detroit Jewish community; the spon-
sor is the Ford Motor Company Fund.
The exhibit traces the relationship
between Detroit's Jewish community
and the diverse metropolitan commu-
nity since the 1930s.
Refreshments will be served at the
free program on Sept. 21. Sponsors
are the Council, the Institute for
Retired Professionals and the Jewish
Historical Society of Michigan.
