How to Send Letters
The kitchen has always had a major role in the life of Jeff and Eva Luckoff.
Now it is a shining star, thanks to a stunning redesign and build by Gittleman Construction, Inc.
"They completely reconfigured the plan and made better use of all the space," said Eva.
They knocked out a dining room wall, redesigned a mud room and added a new laundry room.
The kitchen, itself, is a masterful blend of antique white and espresso wood cabinetry, granite
countertops and hardwood floors. A new bank of windows bring the outside in.
The show stopper is a 9-foot island with space enough to accommodate family and friends
while Eva whips up a delicious home cooked meal.
"I love the cooking space I have now," said Eva, and Jeff and the boys, Stephen, 11, Bradley, 7
and Bennett, 4, all love whatever Mom makes in the new kitchen.
So when your old space needs to take center stage, rely on a great performance by Gittleman.
Just ask the luckoff family.

Coulter vs. Jefferson
I am thankful that Donny Deutsch
didn't follow your letter writer advice
("Perfected Jews", Nov. 15, page A6) on
his MSNBC show, The Big Idea, when
Ann Coulter told Deutsch, a Jew, that
Christians were "perfected Jews'
Imagine if Deutsch answered
Coulter, as the letter writer suggested,
that the King James Bible was "riddled
with doctored translations and fabri-
cations" and that "Christian transla-
tors ... have created a counterfeit
Judaism."
I can imagine the MSNBC sound
bite declaring, "Watch a Jew and
Christian battle in an epic, biblical war
of words!"
Isn't this supposed to be the land
of religious freedom? Yes, according
to Alan Dershowitz, who writes that
Christianity was not intended to be
the foundation of the American gov-
ernment ("Affirming History," Nov. 15,
page A27).
Dershowitz writes that Jefferson,
in the Declaration of Independence,
wanted a true "separation of church
and state."
So let's try to forget Coulter who
answered, "Yeah',' when Deutsch asked
"if we should just throw Judaism away
and we should all be Christians?"
Forget her perfected intolerance
and focus instead on the words of
Jefferson: "Rightful action is unob-
structed action according to our will
within limits drawn around us by the
equal rights of others."

armed forces during World War II.
Few families were left untouched
by that war. As our veterans age and
memories fade, their stories of hero-
ism and self-sacrifice should be cher-
ished and passed on for future genera
tions. Nor should we forget those who
fought in Korea, Vietnam and later
conflicts. They, too, have much to teac
us.
The Leonard N. Simons Jewish
Community Archives will provide
helpful tips and sample questions to
those who wish to conduct an audio
or videotaped interview with a fam-
ily member who served in the armec
forces.
Videotaping can be arranged at
the David B. Hermelin ORT Resource
Center at the Jewish Community
Center in West Bloomfield.
The archives maintains a collec-
tion from the Jewish War Veterans,
Department of Michigan. On request,
the archives will preserve submit-
ted copies of taped interviews. For a
list of interview questions and other
information, contact Sharon Altermar
director of the archives, at (248) 203-
