Has Changed
We give thanks that we live in a milieu
where individuals have shared assets and
talents for the benefit of the larger com-
munity, Jewish and non-Jewish. The
people cited in the articles associated
with the 300th anniversary of Detroit
are indeed noteworthy ("Happy
Birthday Detroit," July 20, page 33; July
27, page 31).
We would like to nominate additional
people who have contributed to the
growth of the city. Among them are
Sidney S. Shevitz, who was the first
chairman of the Fair Employment
Practices Commission, later renamed the
Civil Rights Commission. He was a
member of the commission until his
death. He was also active in the work of
the Jewish Community Council and the
Labor Zionist Organization.
Professor Samuel Levin was an inspir-
ing and beloved teacher of economics at
Wayne State University.
Irwin Shaw was director and motivat-
ing force of the Jewish Community
Center, and the administrator of the
camp operated by the Center and the
Jewish Federation of Metropolitan
Detroit.
The men contributed from the wealth
of their talent, consciences and social
responsibility.

Hadassah Hosts
Many Open Events
We at Hadassah applaud the Jewish
News for recognizing the importance of
the volunteer in the Detroit community.
While we were excited to see the pic-
ture of Randi Simko and the article
about the Detroit Ducky Derby ("Derby
just Ducky,'" Aug. 3, page 14), we feel
the need to clarify a statement.
The Greater Detroit Chapter of
Hadassah has many community events
and projects, such as the award-winning
Doll Project, the annual rummage sale
and the fall program, to which we have
always welcomed the entire community.
We encourage anyone who would like to
participate in any of our projects to con-
tact our office.

Your Cyber Spot article about the
National Council of Jewish Women
was wonderful ("Complete Guide To
Complete Group," July 27, page 89).
Please note that our Web site

Music Resounds
At Beth El
A recent concert at Temple Beth El
was a glorious production ("Dancing
Room Only," July 27, page 52).
Performing were two cantors, Robert
Abelson and Stephen Dubov; soprano
Carol Abelson; and a trio conducted
by David Brunetti, which included
John Dana, bass, Jeffrey Berger,
drums. There were even dancers on
the bimah.
In addition, there were lovely
American popular songs and dancing
in the aisles by audience members.
The main sanctuary was filled to
capacity and the performers appreciat-
ed the great audience.
Most important for us who came is
to be very grateful to the wonderful
benefactors, Harry and Sally
Nosanchuk and family, who gave great
pleasure to all. Not many can afford a
concert of this caliber. May God bless
them all and all other benefactors who
contribute to the pleasure of all of us.
