JTS Pesach Online

HMC Tour On TV

T

'nai Brith Presents — Holocaust Memorial
Center Toti7; a locally produced hour-length
video, will have its first airing on broadcast
television at 9 p.m. Tuesday, April 22, on Channel
56, metro Detroit's public television station.
Holocaust survivor and B'nai B'rith Einstein
Lodge President David Kahan narrates the tour and
provides a gripping firsthand account of the horrors
he personally experienced at age 15 while at the
infamous Auschwitz death camp. The B'nai B'rith
Einstein Lodge, a group of Holocaust survivors and
their children, is dedicated to keeping alive the
memory of the Holocaust.
The program was produced by Steve and Db.D.
Fisher of A.A.A. Productions Inc. in Oak Park,
under the guidance of B'nai B'rith Great Lakes
Regional President John Rofel, and with the help
and support of Marsha Rofel, regional community
relations-program director.
Plans are under way to bring B'nai B'rith Presents to
broadcast television as a regular weekly series, shown
on Sunday afternoons, probably in September 2003.
The program series has been seen on local-access
cable channels for the past year-and-a-half.

Military Care Packages

oved by a Jewish News cover story on a
cookie drive for soldiers at Temple Emanu-
El in Oak Park ("On The Homefront,"
March 28), Melanie Gorman made a suggestion at
work to create care packages that could be sold to
send overseas, with a percentage of the proceeds
going to the Family Readiness Group, a non-profit
organization that supports the 127th Wing at
Selfridge Air National Guard Base.
The idea was approved wholeheartedly. So now
The Great American Basket Co. at 29594
Orchard Lake Road in Farmington Hills has
American-themed gift baskets available packed
with an assortment of snack foods, toiletry items
and boredom busters (crossword puzzles, mini
footballs, playing cards, etc.) and a 60-minute
AT&T calling card. Personal messages and photos
can also be included. Boxes are available in two
sizes, $45 for large and $30 for small. Prices
include shipping to any APO or FPO address.
For information, call (248) 626-9050.

Cooking Interrupted?

Passover Koshergram

Correction

T

The photo on page 3 of the April 11, 2003,
edition of the Jewish News is misidentified.
The man in the photo is Bernie Jonas of
West Bloomfield.

ast Wednesday, Ed Kohl, a volunteer with the
Jewish Community Council of Metropolitan
Detroit, called the Council's offices in
Bloomfield Township, somewhat distraught.
He and his neighbors in the
Greenpointe One neighborhood near
14 Mile and Halsted in West
Bloomfield had received notice from
DTE Energy (Detroit Edison) that
residential power would be cut off for
a time on Wednesday, April 16.
That day being erev Passover, con-
cerns were expressed that cooking for
the seder and other preparations
would be disrupted.
A series of phone calls then fol-
lowed between Council Executive
Director David Gad-Harf and DTE
CEO Tony Earley, whom Gad-Harf
had come to know through mutual
civic involvements. On Friday, Earley
called Gad-Harf to inform him that
the scheduled shutoff would be post-
poned.

he Council of Orthodox Rabbis of Greater
Detroit has compiled a Passover
Koshergram, that includes a list of food
items permissible for use on Passover as well as
information on the holiday.
