DETROIT'S OLDEST JEWS from page 12

Carol Rosenberg, associate director of
Jewish Home and Aging Services,
served as emcee, asking each honoree
what was the most important thing,
invention or event in their lives.
Gertrude Gordon, age 101, said the
knitting she still does for the
Goodfellows and for the Veterans
Association is the most important thing.
She has difficulty seeing, but still pro-
duces wonderful items for these worthy
causes.
ElderLink is the network of services
for Jewish older adults provided by a
partnership of the Jewish Federation
and its constituent agencies that provide
services for older adults.

hey knew they had their work cut out for them
when Aaron and Jennifer Ellenbogen fell more in
love with the 1-acre backyard than the 1963 tri-level
that came with it.

"We bought the house for the land," says Jennifer. Then
they called Gittleman.

The kitchen was first on their to-do list but dropped quickly
to second when a flood forced a speedy reconditioning of
what is now an all-new playroom. "They came right over,
stripped the walls, the floors, took everything out" then
totally refinished everything, from floor to ceiling.

Spartans Honored

Michigan State University's Spartans
for Israel, a pro-Israel political student
group, was honored May 22 at the
annual AIPAC policy conference in
Washington, D.C., as "2005 Israel
Activists of the Year for its outstand-
ing lobbying campaign on behalf of
Israel.
Highlights of the campaign includ-
ed sending a diverse delegation to
Washington in March to lobby
Congress about Israel. The delegation
included president of the College
Democrats, the president of the MSU
student government, the chairman of
Students for Bush and a member of
the WEB DuBois Society
Funding and leadership for this
lobbying effort and for the conference
came, in pan, from the Lester J.
Morris Hillel Jewish Student Center
at MSU under Director Cindy
Hughey
Spartans for Israel organized presi-
dential debate parties to discuss the
candidates' positions on the U.S.-
Israel alliance. The group also part-
nered with MSU Hillel to educate
students and community members

With one job done, the Ellenbogen's invited Gittleman to
move onto the kitchen to not only double its size but
embrace their fantastic view by installing a bank of
windows overlooking the land that first enticed them. All
new cabinetry, granite countertops, hardwood floors, a
cathedral ceiling and a center island make the renewed
heart of the home "the kitchen my husband has always
dreamed of, " says Jennifer, acknowledging the serious
cook in the family, Of course, she likes it, too.

Best yet, she noted, was the day-to-day compatibility of the Gittleman tradesmen who were on the job for nearly
5 months — except for a brief time out when Jennifer gave birth to Henry, now 6 months old.
"I felt so comfortable with them," she recalled. "They always let me know what they would be doing, if it might
wake my older son (Jacob, 21/2) from a nap." And, they always delivered what they promised, a job well done,
on time and within budget.

Gittleman will be back again soon, Jennifer added, the family room is next in the houseful of projects and that is
according to plan.

"We knew we were going to be redoing everything," she said.

Next time you know you've got a lot of projects...or maybe just a little one, rely on Gittleman to do what you
need, when you need it, in a manner you can live with.
JUST ASK THE ELLENBOGEN'S.
