"It may not be as easy as Mom saying yes to the perfect prom dress or Dad spending nights fixing up that old jalopy, but we want them to feel that same kind of love. Because of our love for my mother, we provide the highest quality care. We wanted to create an environment where she could thrive, not just survive. Today, the memories of happiness she found in her new surroundings guide the care of each Regent Street resident." - Judie Eby, Founder 248.683.1010 Visitors welcome.

T he Jewish War Veterans of Michigan will now maintain their offices at Temple Beth El in Bloomfield Township. Members of the group are the Michigan affiliates of the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America. Formed in 1896 by Jewish veterans of the Civil War, it is the old- est active national service organization in the country. Statewide, the group has eight posts; locally, there are 400- 500 members. Gerald Order is the state com- mander and Jack Weiss is the national service officer. Weiss meets with vet- erans and their families and serves as the liaison between the Jewish War Veterans of Michigan and the Veterans Administration. Each post elects its state officers and has its own Ladies Auxiliary, whose current state president is Myra Gross. Harmon Tron, who has served as the Jewish War Veterans Memorial Association's president for the past two years, will maintain daily office hours at Beth El. He credits Sheldon Schwartz, a Beth El member and a life member of the Jewish War Veteran's Morton A. Silverman post, for sug- gesting the change of venue and is appreciative of Executive Director Tom Jablonski's work to coordinate the effort. The JWV's previous location was on Northwestern Highway and Evergreen in Southfield. Jan Durecki, archivist and director of the Temple's Rabbi Leo M. Franklin Archives, and her intern, Robbie Terman, have assisted in the move to Beth El, helping to examine and sort through numerous documents and suggesting those that were appropriate to preserve for historic record. The Jewish War Veterans' indi- vidual posts conduct their own programming; however, groups from throughout the state visit the Veterans Hospital in Battle Creek in July for a picnic and during the Christmas season when gifts are distributed to everyone — regardless of their reli- gion. The group's only fundraiser, which is part of a national effort, is the May Poppy Day sale. Proceeds are used locally to underwrite a scholarship program open to any high school senior, regardless of religion, who has a family member who is a veteran. The scholarships will be awarded in June on Scholarship Night. Among the other activities the Jewish War Veterans have planned for this year, open without charge to the public, are Brotherhood Night, March 27, at the Oak Park Jewish Community Center, and Memorial Day Services at Machpelah and Hebrew Memorial Cemeteries. In August, they will be the acting hosts during Veterans Day at the Michigan State Fair. For questions or information regarding the Jewish War Veteran's new home, contact Harmon Tron, (248) 855-5085.
