teers were able to learn about the
Holocaust because it's probably
something that they didn't know
a lot about beforehand," Radner
said. "It seemed like they were
really getting into it."
"Day at the J" also provided
the young adults with the oppor-
tunity to bridge two unique com-
munities. Both groups were able
to learn about the Jewish corn-
munity while interacting and
having fun.
"I really appreciate how the
JCC wanted to involve the city
in their activities," said Eboni
Thomas, a City Year participant
from Detroit. "It showed they
really do care ... it's about a love
of community." ❑
The "Day at the J" was coordinat-
ed by the Detroit Jewish Initiative,
a Jewish Community Council of
Metropolitan Detroit project that
facilitates the Jewish community's
involvement in City Year Detroit.
The Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit and the
Jewish Fund sponsor a City Year
Detroit team. An AmeriCorps pro-
gram, City Year is a national serv-
ice organization that unites diverse
17- to 24-year-olds for community
service and formal leadership
development.
The JVS Jeanette and Oscar
Cook Jewish Occupational Intern
Program (JOIN) gives college stu-
dents the opportunity to perform
eight-week summer internships
while increasing their awareness of
local Jewish community services.
No more detours to the Jewish
Community Center in West Bloomfield.
After months of construction, traffic is
flowing as usual along Maple Road. The
newly conformed roadway with traffic
roundabout, park-like landscaping and
new signage still to come are all part of
the community drive to improve and
expand the JCC Kahn Building's facili-
ties, according to the master plan and
philanthropic vision of contributors to
the Millennium Campaign for Detroit's
Jewish Future.
The Jewish Federation of Metropolitan
Detroit and its finance arm, the United
Jewish Foundation, have earmarked a
total of $33 million for JCC improve-
ment and endowment.
"It's really remarkable what we've
achieved over a relatively short period of
time, said Robert Slatkin, chair of the
Jewish Community Center Renovation
and Applebaum Campus Improvement
Committee.
Other recent openings on the campus
include the second phase of the Meer
Jewish Apartments and the Milk &
Honey of West Bloomfield restaurant
located inside the Center.
A major renovation starting in mid-
July is planned for the JCC's physical fit-
ness center. Upon completion of the
sports and fitness wing, the Center will
be "poised to compete with any physical
fitness facility in the area," Slatkin said.
Also planned is a new Jewish museum
— a family center of exploration and dis-
covery, made possible by grants from the
Weinberg family, the Hermelin family
and Ford Motor Company.
Shoah Descendants
To Meet In Chicago
Living the Legacy, a gathering of descen-
dants of the Shoah and their families,
will take place June 30-July 2 at the

The conference will address issues such
as what is the legacy of descendants of
the Shoah and how the legacy will con-
tinue through the future generations.
The three-day conference will provide
creative and informative workshops, dis-
cussions and activities that will explore
issues of the past, present and future.
Programming is designed for families
with a focus on age-appropriate pro-
grams for children and teens.
