nization is the David B. Hermelin
ORT Resource Center, located in the
Jewish Community Center in West
Bloomfield.
Under the direction of Shaindle
Braunstein, with Michelle Passon
serving as advisory chairperson,
a variety of computer classes are
offered to anyone in need of train-
ing or retraining. The "Better Job
Opportunities" (BJO) and "Spring
Board for Success" programs help stu-
dents of all ages learn the skills they
need to compete in today's job mar-
ket, including Microsoft Office, web
design, and internet usage. Classes are
free to those who qualify and include
meals and babysitting. A partnership
with Jewish Vocational Service pro-
vides assistance with resume writing,
interview protocol and job placement.
Individual lessons are also offered at
rates far below those charged by most
computer professionals.
Myrna Partrich of Bloomfield
Hills has reaped many benefits from
Braunstein's tutelage during the past
year-and-a-half.
"I would never know how to do
a thing on the computer if not for
Shaindle," said Partrich, who uses

Textures
the computer to manage her online
business, www.cold-flash.com, which
markets a line of cold packs for meno-
pausal women and others.
Funding for the resource center
came from D. Dan and Betty Kahn,
parents of past president and longtime
ORT supporter Andi Wolfe, her hus-
band Larry, and her sister, Patti Aaron.
The center was named in honor of the
late David Hermelin, a former presi-
dent of the World ORT Union.
"This was my husband's passion','
said Doreen Hermelin. "It meant so
much to him. Once you give people
skills, it opens up so many doors. The
resource center gives a local face to
what ORT does all over the world."
She is enthusiastic about the new
leadership, calling Urdan "an incred-
ibly dedicated community leader."
Urdan and the other new board mem-
bers feel fortunate to be able to learn
from experienced volunteers such as
Hermelin.
"I'm brand new and I'm thriller
said Julie Marx of Bloomfield Hills.
"I'm excited to get other young adults
involved. This is such an incredible
group of people, many of whom I look
at as mentors."
