Mike Smith Detroit Jewish News Foundation Archivist I to-school” sale was in the Aug. 20, 1937, issue of the Jewish Chronicle. It’s an ad for boys’ clothes from Hudson’s that explained why their knickers wore so well! The first back-to-school ad for girls appears to be about the new Juliet in the Sept. 1, 1967, issue of the JN. It featured “Giestex by Giest & Giest.” I’m not quite sure what that means, but it was available for the big, two-day Labor Day sale! * As leaders of their agencies, Nancy Heinrich of Jewish Senior Life and Perry Ohren of Jewish Family Service each provide a great deal to Jewish community members in need. When programs or services are mutually beneficial, cooperation is key, so the agencies joined forces with Hebrew Free Loan to support the D. Dan and Betty Kahn Older Adult Care Loan Fund (KOACLF) housed at HFL. The fund assists seniors and their families with funding some of the costs of living comfortably as they age. Working together, the agencies can benefit a greater number of residents than each could alone. “It’s one great tool in our toolbox,” said Perry. “What the KOACLF can do for JFS clients, for example, is help pay for therapies or home modifications or equipment that our seniors need to age in place.” “In life we have transitions, and those can be costly,” Nancy said. “We might not be prepared right then to meet those expenses. The KOACLF could help fill a gap.” The fund, Nancy and Perry said, can help seniors and their loved ones keep their options open, adapt to the circumstances that arise in their lives, and offer choices. “Whether it’s a home setting or senior apartments like ours, no two situations are alike,” Nancy said. “It’s good for family and caregivers to know they can call us to get to a network of options.” Perry agreed. “Regardless of the need, if JFS doesn’t have the answer, we know who does,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if your point of entry is us or someone else. It’s good for our community when our agencies link arms in support. We all benefit.” Click. Call.
