What's the oldest Jewish women's
organization in the United States and, by
the way, the oldest in Michigan, as well?

DEBBIE HITSKY

Special to the Jewish _News

T

he answer is the National
Council of Jewish Women
and the Detroit section of
the NCJW
Now in its
109th year, the
Greater Detroit
Section has
launched its own
Web site,
www.ncjwgreaterdetroit.org , to
inform the public of its vast array of
services, and, incidentally, to make
it easily available for volunteers of
time and/or money.
Born in 1891 at Temple Beth El,
the Jewish Women's Club became
the Detroit section of the NCJW in
1925. Its mission is the "advocacy,
community service, and empower-
ment of women, children, and fami-
lies." Wait until you read about
everything they are and do.
Click on the "Work We Do in
Our Community" page and you'll
be impressed with the wide variety
of projects the NCJW is involved
with. From reading and tutoring in
schools to domestic violence, and
from seniors and students programs

to interest-free educational assis-
tance loans for undergraduate and
graduate Jewish students, the
NCJW Detroit Section covers all
the bases. Most of us are familiar
with their thrift shops and kosher
Meals on Wheels,
but

Ease of Use for
readers'
Every week, their
buses transport residents of
Federation Apartments to supermar-
kets.
And there's so much more. The
Web site also has pages where we
learn of their national programs,
Israel work, State Public Affairs
(here, put yourself on their mailing
list), "How to Donate, " member-
ship information, and volunteer
opportunities where you can use
your keyboard to put your hand in
the air.
The "Calendar of Events" is cur-
rent. www.ncjwgreaterdetroit.org is
a good place to visit and learn and
maybe to be inspired.
Maybe even inspired to leave the
PC and get involved with a very
worthwhile organization.

CLIMB STAIRS

When you're disabled, or just not able to move around as
