Reassessing Our Communal Needs

F

or decades, the Jewish community moved in a north-bynorthwest direction as the bulk of its population followed a path that took it from Northwest Detroit to Southfield, Farmington Hills, West Bloomfield and as far as Commerce. Anticipating or responding to this geographic shift, the Jewish Federation, many of its beneficiary agencies, synagogues and other organizations invested in facilities, buildings and programs.

Findings from the Federationsponsored 2018 Detroit Jewish Population Study — including significant increases in Jewish young families in the older inner-ring suburbs of Huntington Woods, Oak Park, Ferndale, Royal Oak and Berkley and significant loss of Jewish population in places like Farmington Hills — require fundamental reassessments of longterm planning and resource allocation.

Quite simply, our Jewish community’s physical and programmatic epicen-

ter is shifting toward 10 Mile and Greenfield in Oak Park or 11 Mile and Coolidge on the Huntington Woods/ Oak Park/Berkley border — and away from Maple and Drake (West Bloomfield).

As our cover story shows (see page 12), Jewish life along the Woodward Avenue corridor from Ferndale up to Birmingham — especially for young families with children — is increasingly vibrant, diverse and in need of additional communal resources and engagement. And while the Jewish community in adjoining Oak Park has remained relatively stable in topline numbers, just beneath its surface remains a burgeoning number of Orthodox families with young children.

According to the study, 41 percent of the Detroit Jewish community’s Orthodox population is under age 18 and concentrated in this area.

The 2005 Detroit Jewish Population Study had served as a benchmark

to measure the community’s size, composition and geographic progression. Unlike Farmington Hills, West Bloomfield continues to possess a major Jewish population concentration. However, these Jewish households now skew heavily toward elderly and empty-nesters whose needs — especially through agencies like Jewish Family Service and Jewish Senior Life — are likely to continue to grow.

The 2018 population study data should be raising yellow flags for any Jewish school, day camp, synagogue, youth group or social service agency whose population assumptions and business models are not built around family composition and growth concentrated in older eastern Oakland County communities. Federation needs to assure that the data from the study are used to update a strategy and compelling vision for our Jewish community — and that it fully solicits input from the overall community before, and not after, doing so.

Fine Lines and Grocery Shopping

S

ometimes there’s a fine line between being optimistic and being in denial.

For example, despite many previous shopping trips ending similarly, I’ll tell myself, “Hey, I only need two things from the grocery Rochel Burstyn store — its such a lovely day — why not walk?’ And off I’ll go, feeling all pleased with myself.

Then I’ll get to the store and think, “Oh, I don’t need a shopping cart; I’m only getting two things; I’ll carry them.” So, I’ll breeze past the carts with all the optimism of a chronic dieter with the mantra: “This time will be different.”

Fast forward five minutes. Twelve items are balanced on top of each other in my arms; my chins (both of them) have the important job of firmly holding the top item into place so things won’t come toppling

Standing Together Against Hate

N

early 20 years ago, I was working at Wilshire Boulevard Temple in Los Angeles when a madman walked into our local JCC and started shooting people.

This occurred in the wake of Columbine, so people were on edge.

Our Jewish summer Rabbi Mark camps, located just Miller outside the city, boast a huge silver menorah sitting on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Coast Highway. It is clearly visible to anyone driving along the beautiful coast.

There was a serious conversation about covering the menorah or even removing it because its visibility might

make us a target. And although we had a sacred duty to protect our community, my position then was that if we removed our public symbols, we had already lost.

White supremacy is not a new problem. Long before the tragedy in New Zealand, long before the outrage in Charlottesville, LA JCC shooter Buford O. Furrow Jr. was an avowed white supremacist. He explained that he “was concerned about the decline of the white race and wanted to send a message to America by killing Jews.”

It should be no surprise that wherever hatred emerges, Jews are among the first targets. Anti-Semitism has a long and insidious history, and one of the clear lessons of our own past is that we are better off when we have strong con-

nections with our neighbors. It doesn’t always work (see Nazi Germany), but the overall pattern is that the people we live amongst have a lot to do with our degree of security.

So, when I learned of the terrible attack in Squirrel Hill, it was both reassuring and uplifting that the very first phone call I received was from my friend Imam Almasmari of the Muslim Unity Center. We have built a powerful relationship over the past five years, along with spiritual leaders from institutions like Kirk in the Hills, Christ Church Cranbrook and St. Hugo’s. We learn from each other, we share meals and occasions together … and, sadly, we are there for each other in our darkest hours.

The massacre in New Zealand was

not an accident. Like Buford Furrow, the perpetrator designed his attack with the specific intention of driving people apart and sparking more violence. But we know better.

Standing together at the Muslim Unity Center for a vigil just two days later was more than an act of consolation and more than an expression of grief. It was a direct response to those who would do any of us harm. We cannot give in, and we must not hide. May each of us, under God’s watchful eye, continue to do the one thing that white supremacists and their ilk abhor the most … celebrate life in our houses of worship.

Marvin Adell: If you have the right to protect yourself you should have the right to carry a weapon. Amen.

Jonathan Schwartz: Detroit Jewish News, kudos for tackling this controversial issue.

Alex Kovnat: The most important reason to allow at least those ladies and gentlemen who are not themselves mental cases to carry concealed handguns to shul, is as follows: Sure, you could put up signs all over

churches and synagogues proclaiming: “Please respect our sensibilities and leave your guns at home. Please don’t argue with us about this. This is a house of God, not your home.”

Sounds great. The problem is, do you really expect the likes of the Sandy Hook or Pittsburgh shul shooters to respect the above?

The only people who will respect such signs are people who pose no threat anyway. If you allow sane, law-abiding

ladies and gentlemen to carry handguns, and this is publicly known, there is hope — not certainty, but hope — that antiSemitic or other potential troublemakers will have more respect for the shul (or church or school) and not initiate gun violence in the first place.

Rabbi Mark Miller is the spiritual leader of Temple Beth El in Bloomfield Township.

G

allup’s 2019 World Affairs Survey confirms something that’s held true for decades: Most American voters, whether Democrat or Republican, support and sympathize with Israel.

Reading the report amid the national uproar Laura E. Adkins over Democratic Rep. JTA Ilhan Omar’s tweets about the Israel lobby, several writers have focused on what they see as declining support for Israel among liberal Democrats, who represent 56 percent of the party, Gallup senior editor Lydia Saad told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

Yet according to Gallup, support for Israel among liberal Democrats has remained consistent (and the majority position) for at least the past decade.

For all the talk of their hostility toward Israel in recent weeks, 58 percent of liberal Democrats and 66 percent of moderate/conservative Democrats view Israel favorably, and only 9 percent of Democrats view Israel very unfavorably.

But Republicans, who often point to declining support for Israel among Democrats, should also be paying attention to similar trends in their own party.

The largest recorded drop this year is the percentage of Republicans — not Democrats — who sympathize more with Israel than with the Palestinians.

Republican sympathies for Israel fell 11 percentage points this year, to 76 percent from 87 percent, a slightly lower level of sympathy than Gallup has recorded in the last decade.

Support for Israel among Republicans certainly remains robust, with 43 percent of Republicans reporting a “very favorable” view of the country. But there are signs that this support should not be taken for granted. A significant minority of Republicans, for a variety of reasons, are eschewing America’s traditional alliance with Israel and are skeptical of President Donald Trump’s ability to handle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Despite the fact that Trump’s approval rating among Republicans is 90 percent, Gallup found that 32 percent of conservatives (and 18 percent of Republicans)

NIKKI CASEY FOR JTA

The Republican Party Has Its Own Israel Problem feel that the president is not doing enough to find a peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

This might be because more than onethird of Republicans also feel that Trump is favoring Israel too much. Last year, the University of Maryland’s Critical Issues Poll found that while a majority (57 percent) of Republicans do want the Trump administration to lean toward Israel when mediating the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a significant minority — 39 percent — do not.

“While support for Israel remains high among Republicans and sympathy remains high, all is not perfect,” said Shibley Telhami, who directs the Critical Issues Poll.

It’s not just pollsters who feel this way. conservatives invested in the U.S.-Israel relationship also echo this sentiment.

“While the real challenge today might be on the left, we can never take the conservative base for granted,” David

Brog, a Jewish American who served as executive director of Christians United For Israel from 2006 to 2015, told JTA. “[These findings are] a timely reminder that there’s always work to be done.”

America, including the Republican Party, is only getting younger and more diverse. Millennials, now in their mid20s and 30s, make up the largest share of the labor force and the voting public. If it hopes to continue winning elections, the Republican Party will have to appeal to both of these groups — and members of both are increasingly skeptical of uncritical support for Israel.

Before pointing fingers at declining support for Israel in the other party, pro-Israel Republicans ought to take a good look at the state of affairs in their own house.

Laura E. Adkins is JTA’s opinion editor.

Let the Sun Shine on State Records

F

our years ago, two state legislators were rumored to be misusing state resources while covering up the affair they were having with each other.

This couldn’t be imme- Sen. Jeremy Moss diately proven, however, because reporters couldn’t access documents in their state offices that would reveal the details behind the cover-up.

That’s because Michigan is one of only two states in the nation that does not subject the governor or state legislators to the existing open records law called the Freedom of Information Act, or FOIA. At the time, in the fall of 2015, thenRep. Jeremy Moss was a freshman House Democrat determined to change this legal blind spot and drafted a series of

8

March 28 • 2019

jn

bills to expand access to government records.

While he was working on these bills, a story more substantial than a minor political sex scandal broke that thrust this Rep. Ryan work in Michigan into Berman the national spotlight: the Flint water crisis.

These scandals — big and small — and the lack of information of how they were carried out are part of the reason Michigan ranks dead last among all 50 states in government ethics, according to a study by the Center for Public Integrity.

Their report measured 13 functions of government and Michigan failed 10 of them, including public access to information, legislative accountability and executive accountability.

With the increasing scrutiny on the

lack of government oversight that term, the transparency legislation moved successfully through the House of Representatives, but the bills have never been taken up in the Michigan Senate.

This year, however, things are different.

Moss is now serving in the Senate, where he is ready to usher this legislation through the upper legislative chamber after it recently passed the House, with the help of new House bill sponsor Rep. Ryan Berman. Moss and Berman also gained a critical partner in Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who has sought to increase transparency in state government even in these early days of her administration.

In just four years, these efforts went from earning only a few champions in 2015 to being lauded by the governor in her State of the State address in 2019.

The time to let the sun shine on Michigan government is imminent, and it is on us to own that opportunity. This bipartisan coalition is committed to seeing this issue through — once and for all.

Sen. Jeremy Moss (D–Southfield), the lead author of the Legislative Open Records Act for the last four years, represents citizens of the 11th District in Oakland County that includes Farmington, Farmington Hills, Ferndale, Hazel Park, Huntington Woods, Lathrup Village, Madison Heights, Oak Park, Pleasant Ridge City, Royal Oak Township and Southfield. Rep. Ryan Berman (R–Commerce Township), who sponsored the House Bill 4011 of 2019 in the Legislative Open Records Act, represents citizens of the 39th District in Oakland County that includes the city of Wixom, Commerce Township, a portion of West Bloomfield Township and the village of Wolverine Lake.

That’s why online shopping can be super handy. You type in what you want, it will pop up on your screen, come to your door. Unless you suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome from typing too much, your fingers are safer this way.

But the cons include no nice little walks in the (finally!!!) sunshine, no socializing in the paper goods aisle with random folks you happen upon while shopping, no opportunity to make the cashier’s day while telling jokes surely never heard before.

So, are we winning or losing out with online shopping? Hard to tell — there’s yet another fine line.

Nothing makes me want to buy something more than knowing it’s half price or it’s not going to be available anymore in a week.

Once circulation has returned to my fingers, I’ll do what I have to do: put away the groceries, hide the cookies, etc., etc., and usually that’s when I’ll discover that those two ingredients I went to the store for?

Yup, I forgot to buy them.

The trick, I’ve discovered, is to go to the shop with a few bucks, just enough to cover the two ingredients I need. (And to recite the two items in my head the entire way to the shop.) But even then, the sales are going to be winking at me. And it doesn’t really feel like I’m getting a good deal if I only come home with one box of a sale item. I need to come home with 25, at least. That’s how they get people like me. I don’t need it, don’t want it, never even thought about it before; but, hey, if they’re going to mark it 75 percent off, I’ll buy out

The Anti-Defamation League and the Silent Observer, an anonymous tip line for crime in Kent County, announced this week they are putting up a combined $7,000 in rewards for those coming forward to tell who has been vandalizing Temple Beth El in Battle Creek.

Tipsters who offer information leading to the arrest of individuals who are later sent to trial on the charges can receive cash awards for up to $7,000, according to a release. The reward consists of $2,000 pledged by the AntiDefamation League and $5,000 from Silent Observer.

Carolyn Normandin, AntiDefamation League Michigan regional director, told the Battle Creek Enquirer that it is “very important” to catch the perpetrators.

The synagogue sits alongside other houses of worship on Capital Avenue in Battle Creek. But it was the only building targeted, said synagogue officials.

Temple board members told the Enquirer that they are making preparations to repair the damage and add extra security around the building.

he “nostalgic lifestyle” of Huntington Woods was a factor when Ilana and Adam Block, both professionals, chose the inner-ring Detroit suburb for their home seven years ago.

“At the time we purchased our home, both of us were working in Downtown Detroit so the location was a major consideration for us,” Ilana said, adding that Huntington Woods appealed to them as they noticed “people walking to the parks and riding bikes on the sidewalks, and kids playing outside together with their neighbors.”

Both 34, Ilana is an attorney originally from West Bloomfield while Adam hails from Cleveland and is chief investment officer at Beartown Capital Management LLC. The Blocks and their children, Talia, 6, Judah, 4, and infant Shira, are members of Congregation Shaarey Zedek in Southfield.

The Woodward corridor communities of Oakland County, from Nine Mile to 13 Mile roads, are home to a growing population of Jewish young adults age 40 and under, according to the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit’s 2018 Jewish Population Study. West Bloomfield, Bloomfield Hills, Farmington Hills and Southfield still represent the core (80 percent) of the Metro Detroit Jewish community — also including Oak Park — but the demographic has been shifting southeast since the last survey was conducted in 2005.

The new population study recorded 7,581 Jews living in 2,836 households in the four communities of Huntington Woods, Berkley, Ferndale and Royal Oak alone. That’s compared to 3,341 Jews living in 1,320 households in 2005. Birmingham, also touching Woodward, is gaining traction, too. Fourteen percent of Detroit Jewish households, 4 percent higher than in 2005, live within the study’s grouping of Birmingham with Bloomfield and Franklin.

Huntington Woods

Young Jewish Detroiters are finding the good life in the Woodward corridor.

Metro Detroit is currently the 26th largest Jewish community in the U.S., down from No. 21 in 2005, and similar in size to Las Vegas and Dallas, according to demographer Ira Sheskin, who conducts similar studies for select Jewish communities across the U.S. Long-established cities along the Woodward corridor offer an urban lifestyle with many of the amenities and Jewish institutions their younger residents seek. Yet progress continues.

Economic development projects now under way or being developed are designed to make life even better for city dwellers and visitors.

HUNTINGTON WOODS Jackie and Joey Yashinsky never considered making their home anywhere else but Huntington Woods.

“We were drawn to the city because of its location. Everything is just 20 minutes

away,” said Jackie, 29. She is Tamarack Camps’ teen and family programs coordinator. Joey, 35, writes for multiple publications. They are both Michigan State University graduates and members of Congregation B’nai Moshe in West Bloomfield.

“We appreciate how friendly the neighbors are and having sidewalks,” she said. “There are tons of young Jewish families in the neighborhood, too, which will be great for Elizabeth [their 1-year-old daughter] to grow up in. We were also happy to live close to Joey’s grandmother, who lives just minutes away in Oak Park.”

The appeal of Huntington Woods is undeniable, going from 720 to 1,575 Jewish households since 2005. Indeed, last year’s survey noted that two out of every three households, or 65 percent, are Jewish. The statistic represents much growth for a city that once wasn’t very welcoming to Jews.

Oak Park

Huntington Woods City Commissioner Jeff Jenks, also a former mayor, said, “My house deed didn’t allow my home to be sold to Jews although I’m Jewish.”

Rabbi Dan Horwitz, 35, directs The Well, an award-winning program serving young, sometimes unaffiliated Jews. He grew up in West Bloomfield. His wife, Miriam, 38, a self-employed American Sign Language interpreter, is a native of Albany, N.Y. They, too, chose Huntington Woods, relocating from Washington, D.C. The family, including sons Jonah, 4, and Micah, 2, are members of Temple Israel in West Bloomfield.

“To make the move from a dynamic urban center to Metro Detroit was challenging in many ways,” Dan said. “We wanted easy access to the city and to the Metro Detroit suburbs with great downtown areas, such as Ferndale, Royal Oak and Birmingham. Living in the Woodward Avenue corridor became

the obvious choice. In terms of Huntington Woods specifically, we had a number of friends who were living in the neighborhood and sang its praises.”

Jaimie Powell Horowitz, 40, and Jeff Horowitz, 41, met at University of Detroit Mercy School of Law and moved to Huntington Woods nine years ago. Members of Temple Emanu-El in Oak Park, they have a daughter, Aidan, 10, and a son, Asher, 6. Jaimie heads the Fair Michigan Justice Project, a partnership with the Wayne County Prosecutor’s office. Jeff is a partner at Honigman, Miller, Schwartz and Cohen.

Seeking a new home, the couple “looked for a neighborhood with lots of young families that would be close to temple and in between our places of work,” Jaimie said. They put a high priority on being able to walk to a downtown with restaurants and shopping, such as they had living in Royal Oak. She says she wouldn’t change a thing about their life in Huntington Woods, praising Burton Elementary School, the Rec Center and its continued on page 14

Ferndale

Orthodox Community Irwin J. Cohen, author of Echoes of Detroit’s Jewish Communities: A History, has been studying Detroit Jewry for decades. He is part of and a careful observer of the Orthodox community throughout Oak Park, Southfield and Huntington Woods.

“Anyone who wants to know [the health of the community] can just look at Lincoln or 10 Mile roads in Oak Park on a Saturday morning and see families walking together.”

Cohen observes other signs of vibrancy.

“Yeshiva Beth Yehudah (YBY) has a growing enrollment, now above 1,000 students. Add students at Farber and other schools, and the number probably exceeds 1,800.”

Farber Hebrew Day School recently completed a new building, while YBY and Bais Yaakov School for Girls both have started construction on new buildings.

Cohen says some changes in the Orthodox community are due to in-migration. National authors Rabbis Berel Wein and Paysach Krohn have touted suburban Detroit’s complete infrastructure for an observant Jewish life, coupled with a low cost of living.

The Orthodox community footprint has expanded, Cohen says. “Look at Mt. Vernon Road between Greenfield and Southfield in Southfield. Young families of observant Jews are moving into a neighborhood where few Jews have lived in recent years.”

Comparing the 2018 Detroit Area Jewish Population Study with the 2005 study (both sponsored by Federation) provides numbers that seem to challenge the historian’s observations. While the data suggest the number of Orthodox Jews in the Detroit area decreased from 15,400 to 10,700, the primary drop occurred among those age 65 and older whose Orthodoxy was often defined by whether they kept kosher homes and lit Sabbath candles.

The 2018 survey reports about a third of area Orthodox Jews moved here in the past decade. It also shows more than 40 percent of the Orthodox Jewish community continue to be under age 18.

The temple and Congregation Beth Shalom (CBS) offer Yachad religious school, meeting Sunday morning at Emanu-El and Wednesday afternoon at CBS. “Having the joint religious school gives us a critical mass that neither of us had previously,” said CBS Rabbi Robert Gamer. “The fact that we have a really good school and an outstanding educator [in director Abi Taylor Abt] is what is driving the growth. Also, the fact that we celebrate and honor the traditions of both communities is something that people find attractive.”

Multi-community Planning Grant “We look forward to the opportunities that may come with a multi-community planning grant with Berkley and Huntington Woods,” said Oak Park Mayor Marian McClellan.

She was referring to a joint application submitted by Oak Park, Berkley and Huntington Woods that resulted in a SEMCOG grant last summer. The cities are teaming up to collectively improve the 11 Mile Road and Coolidge Highway corridors.

As reported on the Oak Park city website, “The study looked at Coolidge from 12 Mile to Nine Mile and 11 Mile from Greenfield to Woodward. It reviewed the traffic analysis to deterJackie and Joey Yashinsky with their daughter Elizabeth, 1

mine if a “road diet” (lane reduction) was possible in any section of these roads as well as adding bike lanes. The study also took a look at opportunities to add green infrastructure to reduce the amount of water runoff and finally analyzed the connections and crosswalks between these communities to identify additional opportunities for safe crosswalks.”

Beside the bike lanes, Oak Park will be offering pocket parks, a dog park, a bike repair shelter and more.

Open houses held in the three cities gave residents a chance to discuss the potential plans for infrastructure improvements.

OAK PARK • The Kroger chain was granted state tax incentives to take over a former 7.9-acre Kmart property at 26200 Greenfield Road, south of 11 Mile Road. The Kroger with gas pumps and drivethrough pharmacy will open in 2020.

• Yeshiva Beth Yehudah, Metro Detroit’s largest Jewish day school with 1,063 students, is building a new elementary and middle school for girls on 10 Mile Road and the east side of Church Street. On the west side of Church is Bais Yakov High School and Meer Preschool, a 55,000-square-foot facility that opened in August 2013.

• MoGo Detroit Bike Share is partnering with local municipalities to bring the bike-share system to southeast Oakland County. Oak Park will have five stations, strategically placed across the city, when the service becomes available to residents in late spring to early summer.

HUNTINGTON WOODS • The small, mostly residential community has 12 parks: two on Coolidge, four on 11 Mile and six in the city’s interior. Other attractions include a pool, golf course, Rec Center day camps and classes. Some residents live close enough to the Detroit Zoological Park to hear the animals.

BERKLEY • The city’s amenities include a Recreation Department and an ice arena.

• For new development, a Michigan State Federal Credit Union is set for construction on Coolidge, near 11 Mile. Berkley is considering proposals to redevelop the former La Salette Catholic School on Coolidge into multiple-family residential housing.

FERNDALE • Tucked between I-696 and train tracks at the Ferndale-Pleasant Ridge border, Iron Ridge Marketplace is an evolving entertainment and retail destination at 404 E. 10 Mile Road. The $35-million brownfield redevelopment project is on the site of a decaying 1940s wire factory with 231,000 square feet of vacant space. Started in October 2017, a fitness center is open, and food, a brewery and other attractions are coming.

Urbanrest Brewing Co., in Ferndale since 2017, is a few blocks south of Iron Ridge Marketplace.

ROYAL OAK • The city will see completion this year of the Woodward Corners by Beaumont project on Woodward at 13 Mile. Henry Ford Health System’s high-tech outpatient medical center will occupy the downtown Royal Oak City Center by April 2020.

“I enjoy walking and biking to downtown Ferndale, where I spend a lot of time with friends enjoying the variety of restaurants, bars and local shops,” she said. “I also love attending the various festivals in the summer, such as the DIY Street Fair and the Funky Ferndale Art Fair.

“On a typical Sunday, I can usually be found having brunch at Imperial with friends then heading across the street to the Rust Belt Market to check out the Michigan-made products sold by local vendors. The city definitely deserves its nickname, Funky Ferndale, and I’m proud to call it home.”

JEWISH PROGRAMMING Could the Jewish community be doing more for young Jewish residents of the Woodward corridor?

Nechama Lurie would like the Jewish Federation or other organizations to welcome young families new to Detroit. Volunteers knowledgeable in the variety of Jewish lifestyles could drive newcomers through various neighborhoods and offer advice on schools, synagogues, drugstores, doctors and other needs relevant to the family.

“Setting up everything from scratch can be overwhelming and involves a lot of trial and error,” she said.

Realtor Linda Solomon said local families would like a gathering place to replace the former Jewish Community Center in Oak Park, which was closed in August 2015.

“The Jewish community needs to re-evaluate its presence in this area, with all these numbers showing this is where the population is and wants to be,” Solomon said. “Jewish people could use a new facility. They don’t need a big fancy building with a pool, but a gym or space to congregate would be welcome.”

“The JCC programming in West Bloomfield is too far away for us to take advantage of,” Dan Horwitz said.

Schwartz family: Aaron, Rachel and Pearl, 6.

“We’re hoping they start offering more opportunities to connect with their featured programs — especially things like the Matzah Factory — on our side of town.”

JCC CEO Brian Siegel says the JCC and its JFamily division are always looking for ways to engage young families “outside its walls.”

In the Woodward corridor, PJ Library plans events such as playdates, family meet-ups, Shabbat groups and volunteer opportunities.

JBaby Bumps, a five-part series for expectant mothers, meets at four locations, with the closest to the corridor being Shaarey Zedek in Southfield.

Federation agencies do have a presence in Oak Park. Jewish Family Service operates an office in Crown Pointe Plaza on Greenfield Road at Lincoln. Also, Jewish Senior Life maintains the Teitel and Prentis apartments, including Coville Assisted Living, on the Taubman Jewish Community Campus on 10 Mile Road.

Unlikely Case Immunized young father comes down with measles.

ROCHEL BURSTYN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A

vi Cohen, 23, of Oak Park has the measles, confirmed Monday evening. He is among the 10 additional cases confirmed after March 22, bringing the total to 18 at press time, according to the Oakland County Health Division (OCHD).

He’s also one of the three of 100 people who get the required two doses of measles vaccine who will still get measles if exposed to the virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Avi received both his MMR shots on schedule when he was a child. He gave the JN his vaccination records as proof.

Avi and his wife, Debbie, first became concerned when they realized their son, Reuven, 2, had been in a synagogue with his grandfather the same time as someone wth the measles. And Reuven had been running a fever that week although he was diagnosed with an ear infection and began a round of antibiotics.

Avi and Debbie were extra cautious after his exposure, so they had Reuven swabbed for measles and split their family last week for Shabbat, each taking a child to their respective parents’ home.

By March 18, however, Avi had developed a cough and fever and felt progressively worse. Meanwhile, Reuven’s measles test came back negative.

Cohen of Birmingham. “We were just worried about my grandsons, especially the new baby [5-week-old Uriel].”

On March 20, Debbie took Reuven back to the doctor, and he was diagnosed with a double ear infection.

On Purim day, Avi woke in so much pain he couldn’t even open his eyes.

Debbie rushed him to the Emergency Room at Beaumont Royal Oak. If they had suspected the measles, they would have avoided going anywhere, she says.

They told doctors Avi had been exposed to measles, but he was fully vaccinated.

The Beaumont doctors did not suspect measles either. They checked Avi’s medical records, saw he’d been immunized appropriately, yet did a swab test anyway. They also did lung and chest X-rays, found nothing and said he must have “an upper-respiratory virus,” Debbie says. They sent him home.

On March 22, Reuven’s fever reappeared so Debbie took him to the doctor.

As she was leaving, Avi called and told her he’d broken out with a suspicious rash over his entire body. In a panic, Debbie told the doctor, who advised her to contact OCHD immediately.

On Saturday, March 23, OCHD came to their house, swabbed the entire family and gave out extra vaccinations to extended family members. Debbie, Avi and Reuven were all up to date on their immunizations. They also gave Uriel immune-globulin (Ig) to boost his

immune system because he is too young to get a live vaccine. Uriel moved to Debbie’s parent’s home temporarily while she cared for Avi and Reuven at home.

In the meantime, the entire family and extended family (who had been in contact with Avi and Reuven) tested negative. Avi, however, was quarantined until Wednesday. Debbie has no symptoms, but she remained home, too, just in case. “I see my husband is in so much pain, and I don’t want to pass that on to anybody.”

Avi teaches at Farber Hebrew Day School, where Reuven also attends, which is why Farber appeared on OCHD’s official list of places that had possible measles exposure. Yet Avi was not in school while contagious, according to an email sent by Head of School Rabbi Scot Berman.

CAUTION AND NO BLAME It is likely most people at ground zero — the Orthodox communities in Oak Park and Southfield — have been exposed because of the widespread locations OCHD cited as possible exposure spots.

An update from the OCHD Monday listed more sites, including a few locations in West Bloomfield and Farmington Hills. (Go to oakgov.com/ health for updates).

The OCHD says vaccination is effective within 72 hours of exposure.

High-risk individuals can receive immune-globulin (Ig) treatment within six days of exposure.

The measles are being traced to a visitor from Israel, by way of New York, who came to soliticit donations throughout the Orthodox community.

He was diagnosed March 13.

Ita Leah Cohen said Avi’s case proves immunizations are not 100 percent effective all the time. So, she plans to

keep her younger kids home from school until the outbreak is over, even though they’re immunized.

“People who have had only one dose of MMR (particularly those vaccinated from 1957-1985) need to verify if they received a second dose,” said Phyllis Meer, RN, BSN, CPNP. “If they don’t have proof of two doses or a blood titer proving immunity, they must get another dose to boost their immunity.”

Ita Leah went to get the booster shot offered free at Young Israel of Oak Park (YIOP) on March 22, but the OCHD had run out already. She arrived early Sunday morning at YIOP for a second clinic and found a long line had formed at 9:30, a half-hour before doors opened.

From March 22-24, OCHD gave 970 vaccinations.

She says everyone has been very kind and understanding.

“Nobody’s pointing fingers; blaming won’t solve anything,” she said. “We all have to be responsible, do what we can; but, ultimately, the rest is up to God.” Debbie says she received mixed reactions. Mostly, people are offering support and bringing food.

“People who know us know we’re super careful when it comes to health issues,” Debbie said. “No one has yelled, nothing like that, but I know they’re nervous and upset.

“No one’s upset with me; they’re just scared,” she said. “Parents want to protect their families.”

Word has spread quickly and rumors are flying. Debbie was eager to set the record straight after being told about some of the stories going around.

The OCHD has said everyone who can get immunized absolutely should, but there should also be awareness there is that tiny 3 out of 100 chance that even that won’t be protection enough.

Challenging Vaccines Two local lawsuits ruled in favor of schools, not parents of unvaccinated children.

RONELLE GRIER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A

pair of lawsuits filed in 2015 against Temple Israel and Hillel Day School, requiring them to accept unvaccinated children into their programs, highlights a fault line between religious institutions attempting to protect their communities from infectious diseases and those who choose not to vaccinate their children for philosophical or religious reasons.

Hillel was successful in defending a case brought by two families against the school, resulting in one family withdrawing their children and the other having their son vaccinated.

Ruvayn and Sara Rubinstein, whose children attended Temple Israel’s Early Childhood Center preschool program the previous year, sued the school in 2015 because it would no longer recognize non-medical waivers. The case was heard by Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Shalina Kumar and then moved to federal court in the U.S. Eastern District.

There, Judge John Corbett O’Meara dismissed the Rubinsteins’ constitutional claims that their religious rights were being violated because Temple Israel was not a governmental body.

The case was sent back to Oakland County Circuit Court, where Judge Kumar granted Temple Israel’s motion for summary disposition based on the “ecclesiastical abstention doctrine,” which allows a secular court to refuse to

March 28 • 2019

jn

address disputes involving religious matters. Rubinstein’s attorney, Michael Ross, appealed the decision, but the Court of Appeals returned the case to Judge Kumar to review in light of recent case law changes.

On Sept. 10, 2018, Judge Kumar dismissed the case again. Her written opinion stated that, because both parties were basing their claims on religious reasons, ruling on the case would require the court to resolve ecclesiastical questions, which it is not in a position to do. No further appeal is planned.

These lawsuits provide context as the recent national upsurge in reported cases of measles, including the outbreak this month in Oakland County and within its Jewish community, is sparking heated discussions about mandatory vaccinations and the use of non-medical waivers.

Last week, the Council of Orthodox Rabbis of Greater Detroit issued the following statement: “In light of the recent spread of measles in our community, each and every individual is halachically obligated to take the necessary precautions to protect one’s self and family, and to prevent the spread of the disease to others.

“Due to the outbreak, the Michigan Department of Health has issued updated vaccination guidelines. Every member of the community should follow those guide-

lines to ensure they are fully vaccinated.”

The statement also said Halachah (Jewish law) permits institutions such as schools, day care facilities and camps to exclude unvaccinated people for the health protection of others. It also states Jewish institutions should only accept valid medical exemptions granted by physicians supportive of vaccinations.

Measles, a disease largely eradicated in the U.S. by 2000, re-emerged as a public health threat in 2015, which ramped up last year when the number of cases tripled, from 120 reported cases in 2017 to 372 cases in 2018. At press time, 314 measles cases have been confirmed in 15 states, including Michigan.

The increase in outbreaks has prompted the World Health Organization to include “vaccine hesitancy,” the refusal to immunize against vaccine-preventable diseases, among its top 10 global health threats in 2019.

The Centers for Disease Control says infected visitors from other countries caused the disease to become active again. By 2014, the number of measles cases soared to a record high of 667, prompting private schools and religious institutions nationally to review and tighten vaccination policies. This resulted in a decline in measles outbreaks, with 188 cases in 2015 and 86 in 2016.

VACCINATION AND THE LAW The Michigan public health code requires children to be vaccinated to attend school, public or private, licensed day care centers and preschools.

Children who cannot be vaccinated because of a medical reason, such as an allergy, are exempted if they have a physician-issued medical waiver.

Without a medical waiver, parents who choose not to vaccinate their children must obtain a waiver from their county health department. While all states accept medical waivers and most (47) allow religious exceptions, Michigan is one of 17 states that allows exemptions for philosophical reasons.

Parents are required to watch a short video and receive information about the risks of not vaccinating before the waiver will be granted.

In 2015, when measles cases spiked, local religious institutions changed their policies to accept unvaccinated children with medical waivers only. Those with waivers based on religious or philosophical reasons were not permitted to attend, which prompted the lawsuits against Hillel and Temple Israel.

“In 2015, fewer people were getting vaccinated; it was becoming a danger,” said Hillel Head of School Steve Freedman. “Hundreds of schools revisited their policies and we were among them. We worked with the parents; we didn’t expect (unvaccinated) children to get 15 shots at once.”

Representing Temple Israel, attorney David Sims presented evidence showing how Jewish law supports mandatory vaccination. The school’s defense included a ruling by the Union for Reform Judaism as well as relevant tenets from the Torah and the Talmud.

“The Reform movement had issued a religious ruling supporting universal vaccination, and we felt bound to uphold that,” said Temple Israel Rabbi Paul Yedwab, who wrote an affidavit citing Jewish principles applicable to the exclusion of voluntarily unvaccinated children. These included the commandment to exclude lepers for the good of the community and the Jewish doctrine of self-defense, which also applies to medical situations and allows citizens to stop those who might cause them harm.

THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE Attorney Joel Dorfman, founder of Michigan for Vaccine Choice, believes vaccination should be a personal choice, not a legal mandate. He said the current measles scare is overblown.

“It’s a benign disease for over 99 percent of the population,” he said. “It’s extremely rare to die from measles.”

Dorfman, who said he provided financial support for the Rubinsteins’ lawsuit against Temple Israel, disagreed with the outcome of that case, saying Temple Israel violated the law by refusing to accept a waiver based on religious reasons. He believes the vaccines, as well as the schedule for administering them, causes more harm than the diseases they are intended to prevent.

Meanwhile, at press time, 18 cases of measles in Metro Detroit have been confirmed, and the number of locations visited by infected individuals from March 14-21 has grown to 25.

While the original exposures were in the Oak Park and Southfield area, potential exposure locations now include Berkley, Bloomfield Hills, Madison Heights, Novi, Pontiac, Royal Oak, West Bloomfield and Farmington Hills.

he turned 1 in November with little fanfare. There was no official celebration for Gunni, a beautiful black Labrador with soulful eyes, owned by photographer Monni Must. But the puppy posed for a portrait wearing a party hat — and her birthday was significant in more ways than one.

“She is just a delight,” Must says.

“She’s a bundle of monster energy who has filled my life and house with love and smiles.”

Gunni is a clone — an exact DNA match — to a nearly 15-yearold black lab named Billy who belonged to Must’s late daughter, Miya. In 2007, at age 28, Miya took her own life. Following the suicide, Monni adopted Billy, who has been a loyal and loving companion for more than a decade.

“Billy is a unique dog,” Must explains. “Having Billy is like having part of Miya. I knew that if I lost Billy, it would be like losing Miya again. That would be devastating to me.”

Must says the idea of cloning Billy popped into her head one day and she decided to investigate. She found the company PerPETuate, which calls itself “the world’s first and foremost pet genetic preservation company,” and worked with them to produce a clone.

“Genetic preservation begins with the painless collection of tis-

sue by a veterinarian,” according to PerPETuate’s website. “These tissue samples are then shipped to [our] laboratory in Massachusetts where they are processed.”

From there, the company says the desired cells are identified and placed in a controlled growth environment until “a cell line of a million or more cells is achieved.”

Those cells are used to create an embryo containing the cloned animal’s DNA. It’s a procedure that dates back to 1996, when the famous clone Dolly the sheep was born. Singer Barbra Streisand reportedly cloned her dog last year at a cost of $50,000. “[Cloning a pet] is not for everybody,” Must acknowledges. “But, it’s for me.”

Gunni was born in November 2017 and came home to Michigan last January. Must named her after the town of Gunnison, Colo., where Miya lived. She says the puppy’s personality and mannerisms are similar to the older dog but, most importantly, Must says Gunni has reduced the anxiety she was feeling as Billy was growing older and has brought a renewed sense of peace and joy. “[Cloning Billy] is one of the best decisions I’ve made,” she says.

“I feel much more settled and grounded now. It has given me a new lease on life.”

DAR Honors Silow For 25 Years Of Service KERI GUTEN COHEN STORY DEVELOPMENT EDITOR

D

r. Charles Silow, director of the Program for Holocaust Survivors and Families, a service of Jewish Senior Life, and the Children of Holocaust Survivors Association in Michigan (C.H.A.I.M.), was honored for his 25 years of service with the Americanism Medal from the Daughters of the American Revolution.

In a ceremony Sunday, March 24, at the Holocaust Memorial Center in Farmington Hills, Silow received this award, given by the DAR to naturalized citizens for their outstanding contributions to the nation. He is also being recognized for his Holocaust educational work “Portraits of Honor: Our Michigan Holocaust Survivors,” a permanent exhibit at the Holocaust Memorial Center (portraitsofhonor. org).

“On a personal level, I’m thrilled,” Silow said. “On a more general level, it gives us a greater opportunity to talk about the contributions of Holocaust survivors and their children to American society, and to raise further awareness about the Holocaust itself.”

Silow was nominated by Sylvia Nelson, a DAR member and longtime

C.H.A.I.M. board member and volunteer with the Program for Holocaust Survivors and Families and its Café Europa. She started the process three or four months ago and said requirements included historical documentation, which contained Silow’s parents’ naturalization papers.

“There were questions back and forth,” she said. “They use archivists and geneaologists. It’s a very difficult process and the medal is hard to win.

It’s a big honor. I’m incredibly excited.”

While doing research, they uncovered the name of the ship Silow and his parents came over on as well as an original copy of the ship’s manifest with his parents’ names on it, which she presented to Silow at the medal ceremony. Previously, Nelson also was instrumental in successfully nominating local survivor Erna Gorman for the Americanism Medal.

“The DAR is not what I used to think it was; it’s not as insular,” Silow said. “They are doing a lot of outreach and good for American society by reaching out to naturalized citizens.

I feel proud to represent the survivor community.”

Women in Faith Leadership The second in the Interfaith Leadership Council of Metropolitan Detroit’s Spring Lecture Series “Exploring Roles of Women across the Faith Traditions” takes place from 7-9 p.m. Tuesday, April 9, at the Huntington Woods home of Rabbi Dorit and Shimon Edut (address provided upon registration).

The session, “Women in Faith Leadership,” features an open conversation with three women, all local leaders who have chosen roles in their personal faith communities as a core component of their life’s mission.

Paula Drewek (Baha’i), Abi Taylor-Abt (Jewish) and Sr. Nancy Marie Jamroz (Christian) will share their personal and professional journeys.

Cameron Klein on the bimah at Temple Israel with Cantors Michael Smolash and Neil Michaels.

Path to

Broadway Cameron Klein lends his voice to book’s song and works hard for his dream.

STACY GITTLEMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

T

o say that eighth-grader Cameron Klein has spare time would be a stretch. Outside of his workload at Hillel Day School, he spends his afternoons, evenings and some parts of the weekend honing his talents for the stage in hopes of someday making it on Broadway.

Oh, and about that spare time? You can bet he’s plugged in on his earbuds listening to a Broadway musical soundtrack on Spotify. His current favorites: Mean Girls and Dear Evan Hanson and, for a classic, West Side Story.

It was Cameron’s vocal talents that led him to squeeze in another project on his crowded schedule and collaborate with local songwriter and author Andy Gutman. Gutman, composer of more than 300 musical pieces, had just written a children’s song and an accompanying book What Can I Be Today? (2018, Gutcheck Music) told through the character of a caterpillar.

Gutman introduced this song/book concept to fellow singer/songwriter Alena Kourkouliocis, who happened to be Klein’s dance teacher. She suggested Cameron sing Charlie the Caterpillar’s song.

Shortly after, Gutman and Cameron met and made their way to the recording studio. Though he is the youngest singer

with whom Gutman has ever worked, Gutman admires his advanced maturity and professionalism.

“Not only is Cameron talented and capable, but he is a genuine young man,” Gutman said. “We put him in the studio in a week and the recording was ready to go just in time for my book to come out.

He is an incredible talent.”

This is Gutman’s fourth children’s book. The profits of the sales of the song and book will be donated to children’s literacy programs such as Brilliant Detroit, Beyond Basics and Project Night Night.

Gutman, a Temple Israel member who has served as a BBYO adviser, plans to create a children’s musical out of this current project and his previous books and songs. He hopes Charlie the Caterpillar will inspire young children to read and explore their own ambitions.

WORKING HARD As for Cameron’s ambitions, every day is one step closer to the Great White Way. But, for now, he enjoys sporadic singing in a band he put together with some friends from an overnight performing arts camp, and training between 15-20 hours a week on his dancing skills, including jazz, hip hop, ballet and tap.

Though he is known at school for his singing, he tends to keep his dancing

letes,” Lisa said. “Often kids make a big deal (or tease) when a boy in high school dances, but those boys may end up as backup dancers for Bruno Mars or become the next Bruno himself! What everyone needs to realize is that those men who are dancing on big stages were once the boys who danced in their high school musicals.”

Cameron has been pursuing theater since preschool when he enrolled in Pint-Sized Playhouse classes at Franklin Athletic Club. Since then he has had roles in dozens of productions including The Music Man, Mary Poppins, Pinocchio, Tarzan, Charlotte’s Web and Aladdin.

He’s also an active member of temple Israel’s Teen T’fillah Team. In recent years, he put his singing and dancing skills to use as a select performer for temple’s annual Purim shpiel (see a video of him from this year at thejewishnews.com).

His mom says Cantors Neil Michaels and Michael Smolash have been wonderful teachers and mentors.

Geographically and professionally, Broadway is still a while away. Parents Author/composer Andy Gutman with Cameron Klein, Jason and Lisa who recorded a song to accompany his book want their children, Cameron and Brady, to under the radar. But as any male dancer have normal childhoods. will tell you, the training involved can “We admire his passion, but we don’t be just as or more rigorous than for conlive in New York and we want to remain ventional athletics. a family unit as long as possible [instead “Boy dancers should be treated the of looking for entertainment opportunisame as any other athlete,” Cameron ties requiring travel or relocation],” Lisa said. “It’s not for wimps.” said. “When he is older, he can make Indeed, to train to be a male dancer that decision to go for it.” one must have the strength and ability Someday, Cameron would like to land to lift a woman partner over one’s head a role in a big dancing production such and make it look effortless.

Pesach Books for Kids These five new titles will enliven the holiday for the whole family.

F

the hidden matzah first, Eli or Miriam Mouse? Kids will delight when Miriam Mouse finds the perfect solution for both families.

Mette Engell’s large and colorful illustrations provide readers the unusual view from the mouse perspective.

our questions. Four cups of wine.

Four types of children. At Passover, the number four figures prominently in the rituals of the seder, the ceremonial holiday meal that can be mesmerizing and mystifying.

Four new delightful and brightly illustrated books for young kids will enliven and help explain the popular eight-day spring holiday, which this year begins on Friday evening, April 19. Check them out while there’s still time to get them well before the holiday.

A fifth new book, set in ancient Jerusalem, is a perfect complement to the seder that ends with a tune sung to the popular seder-ending phrase “Next year in Jerusalem.”

PIPPA’S PASSOVER PLATE Vivian Kirkfield; illustrated by Jill Weber, Holiday House; ages 4-8 In this lively, rhyming story, an adorable mouse named Pippa is preparing for the seder. She sets the table and stirs the chicken stew.

But where’s the special shiny gold seder plate placed in the center of the table to display the ritual foods eaten at the ceremonial meal?

Kids will have fun as they follow Pippa in her search. Along the way, the feisty Pippa asks for help from a cat, snake and wise owl, who are big and scary and make Pippa “cringe and quake.”

Author Vivian Kirkfield’s playful verse introduces kid to the seder rituals, while award-winning artist Jill Weber (The Story of Passover) puts readers in the scene with the cute gray and pink mouse.

THE BEST FOUR QUESTIONS Rachelle Burk; illustrated by Melanie Florian, Kar-Ben; ages 3-8 Marcy is the youngest child in the family who has just learned to read, and it’s her turn to ask the Four Questions.

But Marcy’s older brother, Jake, isn’t happy to relinquish the ritual that has won him plenty of praise from his relatives. Marcy, a vivacious and inquisitive girl, turns down all offers of help to practice reciting the Four Questions.

SHIMRI’S BIG IDEA: A STORY OF ANCIENT JERUSALEM Elka Weber; illustrated by Inbal Gigi Bousidan, Apples & Honey Press; ages 4-8 In this gracefully told story, Elka Weber takes kids back in time to ancient Jerusalem where a curious boy named Shimri is told he’s too young and small to help his older, bigger family members plow the fields and draw water from the faraway well. But Grandma Eliora reassures him that “big ideas can come from small mouths,” and urges him to look closely and listen.

Shimri learns King Hezekiah is looking for ideas on how to bring water inside the city’s walls and wonders if the king will listen to a small boy’s solution to the problem.

The warm desert tones of Inbal Gigi Bousidan’s illustrations evoke the landscape and lifestyle of ancient Jerusalem.

Older kids may figure out that Marcy doesn’t realize she’s expected to read the traditional questions from the Haggadah. She’s come up with her own questions. Here’s one: How many matzah balls in Grandma’s chicken soup? Read to see how the family and Jake react.

Melanie Florian’s brightly colored animated illustrations capture Marcy’s enthusiasm for the festive holiday.

MATZAH BELOWSTAIRS Susan Lynn Meyer; illustrated by Mette Engell, Kar-Ben; ages 4-8 In Susan Lynn Meyer’s humor-filled tale, two families share a home in Apartment 4B, where they are eager to

celebrate Passover. Young Eli Winkler is welcoming his human family’s guests to their seder in their “Abovestairs” apartment. Under the Winkler’s floor is young Miriam Mouse and her mouse family, who live “Belowstairs” and occasionally enter the Winkler apartment through a tiny round mouse hole.

This year, the Winklers have stored their matzah in a tightly sealed tin box and Miriam Mouse hasn’t been able to find any stray pieces — not even crumbs — for her family’s holiday. When the determined Miriam crawls through her hole, she spies Eli’s father hiding the afikomen, the piece of matzah needed to conclude the seder meal. Who will find

A SEDER FOR GROVER Joni Kibort Sussman; illustrated by Tom Leigh, Kar-Ben; ages 1-4 In this first of four planned Sesame Street board books from Kar-Ben, publisher and children’s author Joni Kibort Sussman teams with longtime Sesame Street and Muppet book illustrator Tom Leigh to offer little ones an entertaining introduction to the Passover rituals and traditions.

The youngest kids and their grownup readers will want to join Grover, Big Bird and their Sesame Street friends at Avigail’s Passover seder to eat matzah, read the Haggadah and ask the Four Questions. Cookie Monster can come along, too — but only if he eats special Passover cookies. Grover tells his friends it’s good to invite guests to the seder. Even Moishe Oofnik the grouch is included.

Things you use every day.

DUMBO SOARS AGAIN Dumbo, directed by Tim Burton, is a live-action version of the classic Disney cartoon about an elephant whose large ears make him, at first, something of a laughingstock. As the film begins, the owner of a struggling circus (Danny DeVito) enlists a former star of the circus (Colin Farrell) and his children to care for the big-eared baby elephant. Financially, things take-off for the circus when they discover Dumbo’s ears Eva Green allow him to fly. Huge crowds come out to see Dumbo perform with a spectacular aerial artist played by French actress Eva Green, 38.

Green’s mother is a Sephardic Jew, originally from Algeria.

MALERMAN NEWS The Bird Box, a Netflix original film starring Sandra Bullock, was released on Dec. 21, 2018, and quickly became a huge hit. The film was based on the 2014 novel of the same name written by Josh Malerman, 43, a rock musician born in Detroit and now living in Ferndale.

Last week was a mini-Malerman fest. He did a major online interview with Esquire.com, mostly about Bird Box and a sequel novel titled Malorie. It is set eight years after the events in Bird Box and is due out Oct. 1. Also last week, a new Malerman novel, Inspection, was released in hardcover.

The publisher’s synopsis says, “Boys are being trained at one school for geniuses, girls at another.

Neither knows the other exists — until now.”

health Onset of Puberty Studied

Vegan Diets Essential tips, especially for teens going meatless. y definition, a vegan diet excludes all forms of animal products and focuses solely on plant-based foods and beverages.

Fundamentally, veganism is rooted in avoiding harm and cruel conditions for animals in food and lifestyle choices, including clothing and personal care Stacy Goldberg items.

Columnist Vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, tofu and tempeh are permitted; animal protein, eggs, dairy, honey and animal fats as primary or additional ingredients to foods are not allowed on a vegan diet.

Generally speaking, this differs from a vegetarian diet in that vegetarians often consume eggs, cheese and other dairy products. Vegan diets have gone mainstream as many well-known pro athletes like Venus Williams and celebrities like Beyoncé are now following strict animal-free diets.

The penetration into everyday lives reaches to younger generations more than ever with the connectivity of social media.

Regardless of the reason and rationale, understanding crucial tenants of maintaining a well-rounded, calorically stable diet is essential to prevent adverse health effects — especially in young athletes.

B

certain cancers. Plant-based proteins can create a diet complete in all essential amino acids necessary for growth, development and daily function when well planned. Paired plant proteins create a complete protein option, such as combining 100 percent whole wheat bread with peanut butter. Net protein balance must be achieved to compensate for the muscular breakdown and use during physical activities and the muscle growth from training in the athletic population. If teens do not consume enough protein, the body shifts to burn other body stores, which can result in weight loss and preservation of fat-free mass.

With a proper plant-based diet, ideally there is an increased intake of antioxidants, vitamin C and E, as well fiber-rich carbohydrates. If vegan diets are not structured and well planned out, there is a risk for deficiencies in protein, vitamin B12, vitamin D, iron, zinc, calcium and iodine.

In either case, multivitamin supplementation is necessary. Omega-3 fatty acids found in seafood sources should be compensated for by intake of flaxseed oil or walnuts, or a plant-based supplement.

Iron-based foods and supplements should be taken with or consumed with vitamin C to enhance absorption. For example, add an orange to your meal after eating a bowl of vegan bean chili.

PROS AND CONS Vegan diets present many health benefits.

A “cleaner” diet with increased consumption of fruits, vegetables and whole grains can assist in weight maintenance, enhanced digestion, restful sleep, and reduce the risk of heart disease, type II diabetes, high blood pressure and even

VEGAN DIET TRAPS When embarking on a vegan diet, there is often a tendency to increase carbohydrates and empty calories. Many people mistakenly swap out protein for carbs and they increase foods such as pastas, breads/bread products, potatoes, rice and other snack foods. Some of these

can be healthful choices, but many options that vegans lean on are empty calories, empty carbs and can pack on pounds.

Additionally, many new vegans lean on “vegan junk food” such as frozen and packaged vegan foods as their new replacement diet options. They look to vegan sausage, burgers, patties, frozen meals and other prepackaged foods to replace their animal proteins and calories. These foods can have high amounts of sodium, preservatives, added sugars and added fats that can also make it difficult to lose or maintain weight.

Lastly, some vegans equate a vegan diet with weight loss or lower calories.

This is not always the case. People assume that because vegan options are “healthier,” they can eat unlimited portions of grains, veggies (especially starchy vegetables), nuts, seeds and anything else vegan. This can also contribute to weight gain or lack of weight loss.

In summary, it is possible to have a healthy vegan diet as a teenager. With proper planning, guidance and research, this can be an excellent dietary lifestyle.

However, it is important to consider all the points mentioned above before hastily embarking on a vegan diet, just because your favorite pop star or athlete has had success. Consulting with a nutrition professional can also be of great benefit to evaluate if a vegan diet is right for you and your teen.

Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) researchers have found that the age puberty hits is based on the gap between the parents’ and child’s ultimate height, not genetics.

In the study, published in the PLOS ONE journal, Dr. Yehuda Limony and Dr. Michael Friger of the BGU Faculty of Health Sciences, together with Slawomir Koziel at the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, discuss the significance of this “height gap” and their new prediction model for determining onset of puberty.

“We found that the age a child reaches puberty is based on how the body responds to the child’s individual growth needs,” Dr. Limony says. “When a ‘tall’ child seems to be exceeding a parent’s height, he may begin puberty earlier than his fellow peers to slow his growth and ensure that his final adult height is in the ‘target’ range.

“The opposite is also true: ‘short’ children don’t reach puberty until later than the societal average because their bodies are giving them extra time to grow to reach a parent’s height.”

The researchers said that while there is a wide variation for what is considered a “normal” age for puberty to begin, scientists have not been able to validate the prevalent assumption that genetics plays a major role in determining when an individual will begin puberty.

“A child who hits puberty earlier than his peers, but at a time consistent with a parental height gap model, should be considered ‘healthy,’” Dr. Limony says.

“We believe having the ability to determine normal ranges more accurately will reduce the need for unnecessary diagnostic procedures and help doctors better explain the emergence of early- or late-onset puberty to concerned parents.”

Ask Dr. Vieder Every spring, my allergies kick in and I’m miserable. Is there a good time for me to start taking my medication to help keep the symptoms at bay?

Preparing early for the oncoming allergy season can significantly reduce your allergy symptoms once the season begins. The best way to prepare is to consult with your primary care physician now and allow her to provide you with guidance for your specific allergy symptoms. Very soon, pollen levels will begin to escalate as our weather warms and the plant life around us comes back to life. It may be advisable to begin preventative medicine now. This can help prevent early inflammation and the cascade of allergic reactions you may face before they spiral out of control. If you are unsure of the source of your allergies, see your doctor right away and get tested. Knowledge of what types of allergies trigger your symptoms can help refine medication treatments and help you reduce exposure. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (www.cdc.gov) and our local health department can be excellent sources of information for activity and peaks with particular types of allergies and pollens.

Other than taking my medication, what other steps can I take to alleviate my symptoms?

Prevention is always worth a pound of cure! If you are able to determine the specific allergens that trigger your symptoms, this can help you reduce potentially eliminate exposure to the elements that cause you grief. If tree pollen is your source of misery, it may not be possible to eliminate exposure. That’s where treatment with preventative medications can make a significant difference, especially if you start before your symptoms begin. In your home, keep windows closed and rely on your home’s heating and cooling system along with good quality air filters and dehumidifiers to reduce symptoms while indoors or sleeping. Follow the guidelines listed on your furnace filter and replace the filter as recommended. When coming in from any outdoor activity, showering and changing your clothes can help reduce your exposure to allergens.

What are the differences between seasonal and perennial allergies?

Perennial allergies refer to specific allergens that cause an allergic reaction year-round. Common examples include pet hair or dander, food allergies or medication allergies. In contrast, seasonal allergies typically occur with weather changes that allow for new environmental plant, mold, insect or grass growth. Locally, pollen and mold season can begin as early as February and last through November. Now is the right time to begin discussions with your physician about the preventative measures you can take to keep allergy symptoms from activating your immune system. And this can help you avoid the dreaded return of sneezing, nasal congestion and itchy, watery eyes. Lakes Urgent Care can also be a resource if you do not have a primary care physician. We can help guide your preparation for seasonal allergies or arrange for allergy testing. With the right preparation and recognition of triggers to avoid, everyone can enjoy the coming warm, sunny months ahead!

COURTESY OF UPTOWN PARTHENON

Uptown Parthenon Celebrates 20 Years

F Danny Raskin Senior Columnist

We say ‘opa!’ to former Greektown namesake on its 20th anniversary.

Leo Stassinopoulos, Polyvios Panagopoulos and Tony Hadjisofroniou

orty-two years ago, New Parthenon Greek restaurant opened its doors in Greektown Detroit … It had been doing a booming business even when gambling casinos came … But not as much as before the coming of MGM Casino in 1993, Greektown Casino in 2000 and nearby Motor City Casino on Grand River in 1999 … When people enveloped the Downtown area and crowded them to the rafters … with many visitors even forsaking and forgetting about eating.

Among them, the owners of New Parthenon noticed the large number of people from Northwest areas of West Bloomfield plus its nearby suburban cities … So came the brilliant idea of bringing its same menu to them.

Thus, 20 years ago in December of 1998, came the new Uptown Parthenon … The ownership of brothers Polyvios and Jimmy Panagopoulos, Leo (of Coney Island fame) and nephew John Stassinopoulos found an exact place, remodeled it from the ground up and opened Uptown Parthenon Greek restaurant near Kroger’s on Orchard Lake Road in West Bloomfield’s Crosswinds Center, just east of Lone Pine.

As it now celebrates its 20th anniversary … and the recent selling of Greektown’s New Parthenon … a stroke of sheer genius is recalled that made Uptown Parthenon the talk of many … The immediate bringing of its general manager, Tony Hadjisofroniou, who had before coming to New Parthenon owned half-partnership in another

delicious dilly of a tenderloin steak, chops and all kinds of yummy sandwiches.

IT IS A GOOD example of why small restaurants should not be noted only by their size … They have a unique role in today’s society, providing the public with one of the last vestiges of true enterprise and many times the owner of his or her inventiveness … Where a family can enjoy each other’s company without having to do the dishes.

ERRATA … Owner of Nonna Maria is John Gallagher, not John McDonald.

OLDIE BUT GOODIE … Four young novice nuns were about to take their vows … Dressed in their white gowns, they came into the chapel with the ceremony to marry them to Jesus, making them each a “bride of Christ.”

Just as the ceremony was about to begin, four Chasidic Jews with yarmulkes, long sideburns and long beards came in and sat in the front row.

The Mother Superior said to them, “I am honored that you want to share this experience with us, but do you mind if I ask why you came?”

“We’re from the groom’s side.”

CONGRATS … To Sue Maniloff on her birthday … To Marsha Ellman on her birthday … To Al and Marilyn Frommer on their 59th anniversary.

Greektown restaurant, to operate Uptown Parthenon … The selling of New Parthenon has also brought Polyvios’ brother Dimitri (Jimmy) to assist Tony.

Uptown Parthenon, highly noted for its marvelous double-boned lamb chops among a bevy of authentic house-made and prepared Greek dishes, makes its own rice pudding, baklava, Parthenon cake, custard, etc. … is also widely acclaimed for its own baked lamb … among other items, some of which cannot be gotten elsewhere.

There are no cans to be found … and its own soups are a joy … Plus, the exclusive preparation of Neframia (roast loin of lamb) … It is all Greek, but a couple of American sandwiches, too … the almighty hamburger and cheeseburger to go along with a Greek Burger … Even whitefish and salmon.

Uptown Parthenon is a thing of beauty, seating 225 amid a sea of Greek artifacts … Its bar accommodates 16 more … Open seven days a week 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Its cleanliness is noted … and most deserving of the many hurrahs regularly received as Uptown Parthenon celebrates 20 years in business.

REARVIEW MIRROR … The tiny kitchen run by Harold and Wyn Landis at yesteryear’s Leo Adler’s Harbor Bar was wonderful … What great 8-ounce hamburgers … And those house specialty cheese blintzes always tasted like flaky thin pancakes wrapped around a cream cheese or cottage cheese filling and topped with sour cream or strawberry jam … Even a
