"He is a fabulous teacher," said
Sider, who first met the rabbi as a
student in his Parallel Power class,
which teaches Hillel parents the sub-
jects their children are learning in
class. "He exudes spirituality. He's so
enthusiastic about Torah and Torah
learning — I picked up his enthusi-
asm."
Jim Berger of West Bloomfield,
head of Hales finance committee,
said Rabbi Bolton has been "a great
asset to the school.
"Everybody liked having him
there."

Ending The Deficit?

The K-8 school, which is associated
with the Conservative Solomon
Schechter movement, is doing better
financially than it did during the
2000-2001 school year, Berger said.
However, it is still in a deficit situa-
tion, caused largely by the national
economic recession, flat enrollment,
lack of a rainy day fund and planning
errors.
In addition to the anticipated
$400,000 in cuts, Hillel also raised
tuition $1,000 for the 2002-2003
school year. "Next year, we are plan-
ning on breaking even," he said.
In the business office, Cranis' posi-
tion of chief financial officer will be
filled by two part-time employees. A
director of business operations will be
in charge of all non-educational
aspects of the school, while a finance
director will work on various aspects
of budgeting and financial projec-
tions and oversee financial aid appli-
cations. One is a half-time job and
the other is 80 percent of full time,
Berger said.
Cranis said he was looking into sev-
eral employment opportunities in the
nonprofit world, but has not decided
on one yet.
"I've witnessed a lot of changes and
growth in my nine years at the
school," he said "I was privileged to
be a part of that growth, and I wish
the school will continue to enjoy suc-
cess in the future."
Hillel has held one meeting, for
parents of children in grades K-2, to
explain the financial situation. Others
are in the works for April.
Berger himself has received numer-
ous phone calls about the school's
financial situation. However, he said,
there were "a lot more questions than
anger.
"There's a lot of concern about what
we are doing. I personally think we are
moving in the right direction."
