Apparently, the full extent of the
JCC's debt came to light only after
the organization's veteran chief fiscal
officer was released last month.

Urging an all-out effort to save the
JCCs, Eshman asks, "Do we really
want our children and grandchildren
to grow up in an L.A. Jewish com-
munity that has more Holocaust
museums and memorials than Jewish
community centers?" 7_

demic infrastructure of Los Angeles,
only a minority of Jewish residents
identifies with communal and reli-
gious institutions.
Communal identification, built
over generations in the older
American cities on the East Coast
and in the Midwest, is reflected in
greater fund-raising figures for Jewish
institutions in those communities.
And the lack of such identification in
Los Angeles has had drastic results.
According to the Chronicle of
Philanthropy, Los Angeles lags in the
annual amount of money raised,
behind much smaller Jewish commu-
nities in Chicago, San Francisco,
Cleveland, Boston, Baltimore and
Detroit.

Jewish Federation of Metropolitan
Detroit executive director and chief
operating officer, the Detroit commu-
nity has nothing to fear.

no bearing on the situation in
Detroit," he added. "We've complet-
ed the Millennium Campaign for the
renovation of both JCCs and work
on that regard continues. The Center
continues to be an important and
viable center for informal Jewish edu-
cation."

have skewed priorities, editor in chief
