The Florence Melton Adult Mini- School of North America, offered in Dettoit 1994-96 and hopefully will be reopening here in the near future, is another very successful model for bringing Jews together for learning and spiritual growth without regard to congregational affiliation or other Jewish communal organizational ties. Seminars for Adult Jewish Enrich- ment is another vehicle with tremen- dous potential for building connec- tion and community. And the new Judaic Early Enrichment Program ini- tiative is bringing Jewish knowledge and energy to the teaching staffs of congregational preschools, which will, in turn, touch the lives of hundreds of young Jewish'families, many of whom are not yet affiliated. All of these efforts offer a multifac- eted approach by which the Detroit Jewish community can be strength- ened and enriched by the participa- tion and energy of each and every person who wants to be a part of it.

Foxman Criticism Mean Spirited This is -1— EeJeration for Jewish Education Visit us on the Web: www.thisisfederation.org Berl Falbaum's Community Views ["On God And Country," Jan. 26, page 36] was ill-conceived and insult- ing to Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League. I, along with the ADL, will fight for Mr. Falbaum's right of free expression; however, his "arrogant" attack on Abra- ham Foxman was unwarranted. I do not have to speak for Abe, who has devoted his entire life to the protection of the civil rights of all Americans. He has been the outstand- ing voice for American Jewry, Israel and for our brothers through the world. Abe Foxman has traveled to areas where most of us fear to tread for the protection and freedom of the Jewish nation. In addition, he has met with all of our presidents and has the ear of Congress and most world leaders. I have seen him embraced by presi- dents, ambassadors and prime minis- ters, and people of all persuasions. Betty Provizer Starkman house calls for more than 100 years.
