• "My favorite? Little Women! In
fact, I just reread it a few years ago.
I'm particularly fond of books that tell
a story over many years, and Louisa
May Alcott's classic tale fills my need.
As I have two sisters, I can relate to
the complicated family relationships
and recognize the unwavering loyalty.
Little Women encouraged my enjoy-
ment of reading, which continues to
this day. One of my favorite evenings is
my monthly book club — soon to be
20 years old!"—Randie Levin, Jewish
Women's Foundation Chair
• "The first real chapter book that
I remember reading (and loving) was
Superfudge by Judy Blume. It had just
enough illustrations to give my imagina-
tion a jumping off point, but was a 'real
book' with lots of words, and I remem-
ber feeling very grown-up carrying it
around. — Amy Newman, Federation's
Alliance for Jewish Education
spread resistance to women having
a role in the synagogue service, to
chanting Torah, having aliyot or
participating in a minyan.
Winning re-election as Sisterhood
president in 1980 was challenging.
Many synagogue members sup-
ported a conservative approach to
women in the service, while others
took an egalitarian view.
By providing leadership and
vision at a critical time, Saulson
won re-election by an overwhelm-
ing majority, sending a clear signal
that the women of Shaarey Zedek
wanted an equal role in the ritual
life of the synagogue.
"Ann and I remember Marjorie
as a young woman," said Leonard
Baruch, executive director emeritus
at Shaarey Zedek. "Her vision and
leadership skills stood out and were
quite impressive at a young age"
Saulson recalls a Sunday service
in 1994 with no clergy, where she,
as a mourner, was encouraged by
her husband to lead the service.
After asking those in attendance if
they were comfortable with this,
an elder gentleman responded
by presenting her a tallit to use.
Afterward, a woman approached
her, saying "Thank you, now I can
die happy!"
Not all egalitarian firsts have
been met at Shaarey Zedek. "It
would be lovely to have a female
rabbi, but only if she's the best
candidate, not because she is a
woman" Saulson said. "If it were
practical, we should have 'blind
auditions' for rabbi, as it's done in
an orchestra setting"
That thought segues nicely into
another hat Saulson has worn for
years — champion for the Detroit
Symphony Orchestra. She served
as president of the Volunteer
Council, a DSO board member
(now emerita) and as president of
the Association of Major Symphony
Orchestra Volunteers (AMSOV). ❑
More Cooks And Their Books
Enumerating best finds, Allan Gale of
JCRC, found the following:
• A Weight Watchers book from the
1960s, which he gave to Bookstock
leadership suggesting they present it to
Florine Mark
• A 1975 kosher celebrity cookbook
featuring stories and recipes from the
likes of Detroiter Soupy Sales
• The Bialys Eaters: The Story of
a Bread and Lost World, by Mimi
Sheraton. The book sent him on a
search for bialys bakeries here in Detroit
only to discover that they are few and
far between.
