The Phoenix Jewish news., 1961-04-28

Emma Lazarus poem of free
dom, opportunity and friendship icl-
scribed on the Statue of Liberty
came to mind as / listened to Dr..
Alfred Newman, director of the
Jewish Family & Child Service in
Denver, Colo, address the Arizona
Rehabilitation Workshop in Tempe
He discussed the "Utilty
workship" in Denver which becarae
a reality through the efforts of the
Family Service and the Council Of
Jewish Women.
This workshop is under federal
grant and provides a place for the
aged and handicapped to be gain
fully employed. 1t also serves as a
transition for patients discharged
from mental institutions into the
work world" Originally, this
workshop was instituted to meet
the needs of the 1900 Jewish refu-
gees who were resettled in Denver
and then continued as the Utility
Workshop" for persons who couId
not be productive because of age,
physical, emotional and language
difficulties.
DIR. Newman is a "human spe-
cialist" with rare talent for peO-
pie He is a charming and
articulate person with the facility
of communicating in the simplest
terms. His foster home program
and rehabilitation successes led
to an invitation from the German
and Swedish governments to help
them in this area.
DIR. Newman spoke to our Social
Service board and was most gener-
Gus in answering many questions
about his foster home program and
administrative facilities He de-
ferred questions Of the aged to
Hirsh Kaplan, our executive direc-
tor, and told us that the Kivel Home
is recognized nationally as one OF
the outstanding installations of its
kind. He noted also how proud We
in Phoenix can be of the COM
petent and compassionate hand
ling of our social welfare needs de-
spite the limitations of budget and
small professional staff.
