Bingo At JARC

Publisher / Executive Editor

JARC's popular bingo season launched last
month with Korotkin Insurance Group spon-
soring the kickoff event for the second year.
In addition to providing all the volunteers for
the evening, the company also donated all
the refreshments, snacks and prizes.
"This event was so well received by our
employees and their families and everyone
had a great time said Ken Korotkin, presi-
dent of Korotkin Insurance Group. "Giving
back to the community has always been
important to me personally and profession-
ally, so we were thrilled to be able to sponsor
JARC's first bingo event again this year:'
More than 70 people came out to
enjoy the evening. JARC's bingo nights
are held Tuesday evenings once a month
November through May at Temple Beth El in
Bloomfield Township.
"What's truly great about our bingo events
is that anyone can play no matter what their
ability:' said Melissa Garrett, JARC volunteer
coordinator. "It's really an entertaining eve-
ning for all and the perfect opportunity for
our folks to have a fun night out:'
JARC is always looking for volunteers
to assist people with their bingo cards, call
numbers, distribute prizes and help with
set up and clean up. To volunteer, contact
Garrett at (248) 488-7541.

Support Group For Children
Of Holocaust Survivors
As Holocaust survivors age, their children
often need to process and understand the
unique situations of their lives, given what
their parents endured under the Nazi regime.
Jewish Senior Life's Program for Holocaust

theJEWISHNEWS.com

Survivors and Families has launched a sup-
port group for 2Gs, second-generation chil-
dren of Holocaust survivors.
In Southeast Michigan, there are approxi-
mately 1,000 children of Holocaust survi-
vors, reports Dr. Charles Silow, director of
the Program for Holocaust Survivors and
Families. They face a variety of issues includ-
ing dealing with the emotions of losing a
parent as well as the unique care challenges
of survivor parents.
"Typically, families of survivors are very
close recognizes Silow, himself the son
of Holocaust survivors. "Their families
are small because of the devastation of the
Holocaust. The 2Gs typically have felt a great
emotional attachment to their parents, being
told and knowing the pain and suffering
their parents endured in the Holocaust
"Also, as children of immigrants, they
assisted their parents to learn a new language
and culture Silow adds. "They took care of
their survivor parents. Now, too, with aging,
they take care of them in a new way. As their
parents pass, it creates tremendous feelings
of loss:'
These issues and more will be shared and
dealt with in a safe, confidential environ-
ment. Silow leads the group. He is a clinical
psychologist who has been facilitating groups
for Holocaust survivors and their families
for more than 30 years. Along with serving
as director of JSIs Program for Holocaust
Survivors and Families, he is the founder
of CHAIM – the Children of Holocaust
Survivors Association in Michigan.
The group will meet weekly Wednesdays
from 6 7:30 p.m.. For information, contact
Silow at (248) 661-2999, ext. 1330.

appy New Year! To begin our
2015 Quick Clicks, we would
like to share with you some
Detroit Jewish history. Did you know
that Detroit was the fourth-largest city
in the United States for most of the 20th
century?
In 1950, for example, Detroit had
a peak population of 1,849,568, and
among those citizens were more than
85,000 Jews. The Jewish community in
Detroit can be traced all the way back to
1763, when Jewish traders set up shops
in Detroit neighborhoods. Nearly 100
years later, on Sept. 22, 1850, the first
congregation was founded in Detroit
— Beth El (first known as the Bet-El
Society).
When Temple Beth El began to be
influenced by the Reform movement,
the Orthodox members of the congre-
gation formed another congregation,
Shaarey Zedek, in 1869. Today, there are
more than 30 synagogues in the metro-
