A Day Of Service

or the last two years, on April 22, Jewish teenagers from around the
country have come together to participate in J-Serve, a national day of
volunteering. This year, about 50 teenagers, some from as far away as
Indiana, came to volunteer in our Jewish community.
J-Serve is the Jewish component of an annual worldwide day of service for
youth. J-Serve, a project of PANIM: The Institute for Jewish Leadership and
Values, the Jewish Coalition for Service, and JEXNET: the network for experien-
tial Jewish youth education, awarded special grants to 19 communities, including
Detroit/Ann Arbor.
The teenagers gathered at the Shul in West Bloomfield to do team-building
activities and to hear inspiring words from local attorney Richard Bernstein.
He explained that after the Nuremberg Trials for Nazi Germany war criminals
a study was done to discover how people can allow so much hardship and suf-
fering. Results showed that "man's inability to empathize with his fellow man
is what will and will always give rise to evil;' Bernstein explained, leaving the
teenagers with the message that it is their job to help others and to rid the world
of evil.
Volunteers had three options. Some teens went to Hadassah
House and made dolls that would be used to comfort sick and
injured children in hospitals and to help the medical staff get
information or demonstrate treatment in a non-threatening
manner. Others went to Meer Jewish Apartments to visit and
play games with the residents. A third group made the short
trip to Friendship Circle to play with kids in LifeTown.
