heels and regrouping.
In 1965, the Jewish News listed
seven Orthodox congregations offer-
ing Shabbat services; in 1975, there
were 10, and in 1988, 12 to 15. That
number leaped to 20 in 1989, and to
24 in 1999. Walking the streets of
Oak Park and Southfield on Friday
night or Saturday shows a marked
public presence of Orthodox Jews,
from Lubavitchers to Young Israel
members. Small prayer rooms in
homes also have burgeoned.
Reform and Reconstructionisc rabbis
and congregants attest to heightened
spirituality in their lives, and advocate
the return to more traditional forms of
worship now abetted by advanced tech-
nology. Jewish day schools have multi-
plied. The most recent addition will be
the Jewish Academy of Metropolitan
Detroit, offering a secular/religious high
school education.
In the new century, community
leaders undoubtedly will stress "educa-
tion" as the repository of Jewish iden-
tity and life. Jewish education almost
always has meant a broad range of
religious and secular subjects.
A look into the future also shows
that with new trends in Israeli histori-
ography, attitudes regarding that
country undoubtedly will change —
some for the better and some for the
worse. As the peace process in Israel
continues, some Detroit Jews already
have opened dialogues with the Arab
population of the area. That will
undoubtedly continue and increase.
Philanthropic values, the concept
of tzedaka (righteous acts), religious
predilections, also will most likely
continue to inform Jewish life.
An examination of Detroit Jewish
history produces a heightened awareness
of this community's con c ern for Jewish
immigrants. From victims of World
War I to the Holocaust, from Ethiopian
to Russian refugees, Detroit Jews consis-
tently have offered helping eyes, ears
and minds. Always unforeseeable, those
crises seem to have ended. They were
perhaps the only certain source of unity
among Detroit Jews.
Finally, Jews share a common past.
With its vicissitudes, it defines who we
are and even who we will become. As
we began with Freud, it seems appropri-
ate to conclude with him. One can read
Freud and deduce that his central point
demanded facing the truth of the past.
In the spring of 2000, an interfaith
Holocaust commemoration will occur.
It will happen in the Shrine of the Little
Flower, formerly the church of Father
Charles Coughlin. I I
