RINKE CADILLAC 87 Years And Still Delivering THROUGH Hillers in this world — more individu- als with the courage of their convictions to speak out and to act. On April 18, nearly 600 Detroiters will go to Israel as participants of Federation's Michigan Miracle Mission 4. In steadfast support, they will shop in Israeli stores. They will sample Israeli products. And with more purpose than ever, they will bring home the message to stock more Israeli prod- ucts on the shelves of Hiller's Markets. Our deepest gratitude goes to Jim Hiller for spearheading this effort. Lawrence S. Jackier president, Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit Bloomfield Township Irwin Shaw: An Appreciation If, as the cliche has it, every person is a book, then the late Irwin Shaw was an entire shelf of volumes ("He Enriched The Community," Feb. 20, page 89). We first met in September 1965, when I became the first emissary from Israel at the Jewish Community Center of Metropolitan Detroit. Since then, my life and career have been intertwined with his and I have been the major ben- eficiary. I came to regard him as the most genuine educator it was my privi- lege ever to meet, a true and loyal col- laborator and an infinite source of knowledge and inspiration. In January 2002, at the age of 82, I was persuaded by Irwin's sons to come from Israel to snow-covered Detroit as their "surprise birthday gift" to Irwin on the occasion of his 90th. Though faced with the dilemma of a difficult journey, the beguiling idea of seeing a beloved friend again, one who had so radically changed the course of my life and that of my family, overrode the daunting prospect and we spent an unforgettable week together. He was still involved with the JCC's Institute for Retired Professionals, which he had created; he still had some new proposals for his revolutionary con- cept of a changed Hebrew orthography; he was still animated about the new edi- tions of my own books; he still dis- played a_ profound insight into Israel's political situation; and he still showed a deep concern for my personal welfare and future. In this short space, it is impossible to do justice to the memory of one such as Irwin Shaw, whose ambition in life was to serve the Detroit Jewish community, the Jewish people and Israel, which he did so well, yet with the humility becoming a truly great man.
