orthwest Detroit, for much
of the mid-20th century
the center of Jewish life for
Detroiters, was the site of J-Cycle 3, a
14-mile bicycle tour of Detroit present-
ed by the Jewish Historical Society of
Michigan, the Isaac Agree Downtown
Synagogue, the Reconstructionist
Congregation of Detroit and Hillel of
Metro Detroit.
Nearly 200 people, along with 50
volunteers, participated in the ride
that included eight docent-narrated
stops. Cyclers visited Temple Israel's
original building and the Turkel
house, the only house within Detroit
city limits designed by Frank Lloyd
Wright, as well as the former homes
of Adat Shalom, Mumford High
School and the Meyers and Curtis
Jewish Community Center, now the
Northwest Activities Center.

Highlights also included a brief visit
to the lovely gardens of Roy and Jodee
Fishman Raines and a poignant visit
to the Segregation Wall, a 6-foot con-
crete wall erected in 1940 as a visual
barrier to separate an existing African-
American residential area from new
homes to be built for whites. Today
the wall is adorned with artists' murals
that serve as a reminder that all people
deserve to be treated with dignity and
a chance to have a home.
The day ended with a picnic in
Palmer Park, the perfect opportunity
for participants to reflect on all that
Detroit is, a diverse city with neigh-
borhoods that are preserved and loved
and worth showing off.
The Jewish Historical Society is plan-
ning a bus tour of the area on Sept. 22.
