will carry on Fisher's work "with that spe-
cial Jewish feeling that Max Fisher had."
At the time of The Max's opening, Cohen
took Cummings, a Conservative Jew, on a
tour of former synagogues in the downtown
area. "Within walking distance of Orchestra
Hall, there are seven or eight old shuls,"
said Cohen, "and Cummings enjoyed seeing
them and reading the Hebrew inscriptions
on the buildings."
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra is plan-
ning a large-scale tribute to Fisher, accord-
ing to spokesperson Jill Woodward, but
details had not been finalized at press time.
Meanwhile, the DSO youth orchestras,
known as the Detroit Symphony Civic
Symphonia and the Detroit Symphony Civic
Philharmonia, are dedicating their remaining
performances this season to Fisher's mem-
ory. Part of the concerts' proceeds will be
donated to the Tsunami Relief Fund in his
name. Before last weekend's regular DSO
concerts, cellist Deborah Sayroian gave a
tribute to Fisher. NF

"When Max Fisher
entered a room, the head
table became wherever he
sat. He spoke ye)), softly.
They had to lean over to
hear what he was saying,
but it resonated."

— Rabbi Israel Singer, World
