Special to the Jewish News

ir

ear,

sorrow and extreme anger
were the emotions expressed
by people in the Detroit area
Jewish community in the wake of ter-
rorist attacks on New York's World
Trade Center and the Pentagon in
Washington, D.C.
Tightened security prevailed at the
Jewish community campuses in West
Bloomfield and Oak Park and flags
flew at half-mast as residents tried to
return to some degree of normalcy
after being glued to television sets and
radios following Tuesday's attacks that
left thousands dead and injured.
Police cars patrolled the Applebaum
and Taubman Jewish campuses. Trucks
were parked to block the driveway
entrances at night, package deliveries
were disallowed for a
few days and day trips
were cancelled at the
Fleischman and
Hechtman residences.
"Let's hit them and hit
them hard," declared Jack
Guz of Farmington Hills,
who favors retaliation as
soon as the United States
Jack Guz
can determine the identi-
ty of the terrorists and
the nation that may be harboring their
leaders. "This is a great tragedy and it just
can't go by without a proper response."
It's frightening because we don't

know who the
enemy is ... so its
difficult to retaliate,"
Laurie Sallen of
Birmingham point-
ed out. "If our air-
port security hadn't
been so lax, this
Laurie Sallen
never would have
happened. It was
too easy for them to
hijack the planes.
We need permanent,
tight security, like
there is in Israel."
Beth Singman of
West Bloomfield
agreed that airport
security is "horri-
ble," adding: "We
must retaliate and get Osama bin
Laden. Retaliation is the only language
they understand."
She returned to the U.S. recently after
living in France for 18 months because
of her husband's job.
"The French and other Europeans
don't care about this because they hate
America," she said, adding, "They're
jealous and envious of us, so they
would figure we had it coming."
Art Newberg and Sid Silverman,
both of Oak Park, are veterans of
World War II and Korea, respectively,
and compared the World Trade Center
devastation with what they witnessed
on the battlefields. "The rubble of the
