"The Difference IS The Difference!"
Community leaders Andrea and
Lawrence Wolfe were honored on May
9 at the ORT Visionaries Contributors
Dinner held at Adat Shalom Synagogue.
Attendees heard honorary chair
Doreen Hermelin speak about the sup-
port for QRT's worldwide program by
she and late husband, Ambassador
David Hermelin. Agreeing to be hon-
orary chairs of the ORT Visionaries
event came shortly before the ambas-
sador's death last November.
National president of Women's
American ORT, Pepi Dunay, gave the
Wolfes a crystal globe, symbolic of
ORT's global network of 800 schools
and programs in 50 countries; 250,000
students a year benefit from an ORT
education, which teaches marketable job
skills and the opportunity for a life of
economic self-sufficiency. The Wolfes
have supported ORT for 27 years.
The event was a collaboration of
American ORT and Women's American
ORT (the fund-raising arms of ORT in
the United States). It raised money
toward the Michigan ORT Resource .
Center, to be located
in the Jewish
Community Center
in West Bloomfield.
More than $600,000
in pledges and contri-
butions has been raised toward a $1 mil-
lion capital campaign. The founders
campaign — to equip, staff and main-
tain the new ORT Resource Center —
is a partnership of ORT and the Jewish
Federation of Metropolitan Detroit.

JCC Leaders Attend National Forum
David Sorkin, executive director, and
Rabbi Hal Greenwald, Jewish education
director, represented the Jewish
Community Center of Metropolitan
Detroit at an introductory seminar for
the JCC Association Jewish Educators
Initiative May 7-9 in New York.
Fourteen teams of JCC executive
directors and JCC Jewish educators
from all over North America attended
the meeting, organized by the JCC
Association and the Mandel
Foundation.
The seminar discussed and demon-
strated the thinking and content that
will be the foundation for the initiative
that officially begins in the fall of 2001.
Funded by an annual renewable
$500,000 grant from the Mandel
Foundation, the initiative will consist of
30 program days spread over a period of
18 months. It will include six gatherings
with some on major university campuses
as well as an Israel experience. There will
also be opportunities for special individ-
ual projects under the guidance of a pro-
gram faculty member.
Participating as faculty, in the forth-
coming initiative will be individuals with
expertise in Jewish thought, educational
philosophy, policy, JCCs and North
American Jewish life.
