L.A. muralist Bunnie Reiss

coats the Downtown

Synagogue.

Los Angeles muralist Bunnie Reiss left Detroit’s only synagogue a lot more colorful than when she arrived, cloaking it in sym-

bols of luck, love and protection.Reiss, 43, took a week to paint her mural on

the back of the four-story Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue on Griswold Street. It has a hamsa (an open hand that is meant to protect the wearer from the evil eye), a pair of identical birds in mir-ror image and other folk symbols and shapes she says remind her of her Eastern European roots.

The 98-by-50-foot mural is one of three in the immediate neighborhood. Across Griswold is a new black-and-white expressionistic mural by renowned Detroit artist Charles McGee, and behind the synagogue, on the flank of the Detroit City Apartments on Washington Street, is a neon geometric design by local artist Beverly Fishman, who heads the painting department at Cranbrook. There is a feel of an open-air museum in Capitol Park, as the area is designated.

Reiss’ mural, completed in May, is embroi-

The old Jimi’s Family Restaurant of Royal Oak recently changed up its game, becoming the Royal Oak Taphouse (ROTH). A family of

entrepreneurs in the Royal Oak area since 1928, Sam Pallis and his siblings are third-generation restaura-teurs who are transforming their family’s business to dovetail with the changing downtown business envi-ronment in Royal Oak.

“Every several years, we have to reinvent ourselves. We are proud of the changes and progression we’ve made in a business that survived the recession of 2008 and now continues to serve the Royal Oak area with pride after nearly 90 years,” Sam says.

While abandoning a style and possibly loyal clien-tele to make the conversion from Jimi’s to the Royal Oak Taphouse was a calculated risk, the rewards

seem to be pouring through the doors of the new venue. They are busy. Many former customers are embracing the changes to the décor and the menu.

Sam mentions that they have an event scheduled with the Federation on Jan. 4, a bar night with the 21- to 35-year-old age group to bring young adults together in a casual setting to discuss various Federation topics.

The Pallis family took the leap of faith and tran-sitioned to the Royal Oak Taphouse over the Labor Day weekend in the fall. Given the many hurdles this type of change can create and the simultane-ous timing with the busy Arts, Beats and Eats event, Sam reports that it has been a smooth transition as they closed and converted one side of the restaurant while staying open on the other side. Once that was

Physical suffering often requires more than just treating physical pain to feel relief, and the Jewish

Hospice and Chaplaincy Network (JHCN) takes this understanding to heart.

When Carole Jo Lasser, a gifted pia-nist and sought-after piano teacher, was terminally ill, JHCN found volunteers to play music for her. After Lasser passed away in June 2016, her parents, Myron and Jacqueline Milgrom, wanted to honor her memory by providing the same com-fort she had received to other patients. A music fund was created in her name, the first offering of the Sylvia and Samuel Babcock Life Enrichments program that Nancy and Jimmy Grosfeld helped estab-lish in memory of Nancy’s parents.

“We are very gratified and pleased that our daughter is remembered musically,” Myron Milgrom said.

Currently, six musicians visit JHCN patients, with more in the pipeline.

“The stimulation and entertainment they get is very meaningful,” said Rabbi Joseph Krakoff, JHCN senior director. “Music and speech are used by different parts of the brain so patients who have dementia or who are limited in speech will start singing along to the music. It’s amazing; the patient doesn’t seem like the same person anymore.”

Based out of West Bloomfield, JHCN was formed in 1999 to take care of people in their last weeks and days of life; in 2015, the organization started helping pre-hospice palliative care patients. Each year, they serve more than 550 patients

and thousands of their family members. “JHCN is intended to enrich people’s

lives until their very last moment,” said Rabbi E.B. “Bunny” Freedman, JHCN founding director and CEO. “The essence of the program is to think about the person who’s living and how to give them a better life for as long as God wants them on this Earth.

“The genius of the enrich-ment program is that people can have limited life left, but their lives can still be full. We’re helping make their last days better and richer, and we feel blessed to be able to do so.”

NEW PROGRAMSThe Babcock Life Enrichment program also provides salon care.

“For some of our patients, a big and enjoyable part of their lives revolved around going to the beauty shop,” Krakoff said.

To counteract the trauma of losing this cherished part of their normal sched-ule, with the generosity of Michele and Mitchell Bleznak and a grant from the Jewish Women’s Foundation of Jewish Federation, a salon fund was created. Manicures, pedicures and hair treatments for hospice and palliative care “Lifelinks” patients are provided in their own homes.

Currently, four manicurists and one

hair specialist go on multiple home visits each week. To date, they’ve done more

than 100 treatments, which have allowed patients to uphold their dignity, take pride in their appear-ance and feel as good as possible.

The patients don’t pay for ser-vices. All enrichment programs come at no charge; everything is covered by grants from the Jewish Fund, the Michigan Health Endowment Fund and the local Jewish community’s philanthropy.

Ross Partrich set up the Pet Visits Fund with his wife, Samantha, and parents, Myrna and Spencer Partrich.

“We’re very proud to be part of JHCN and the wonderful pro-

grams that Rabbi Freedman and Rabbi Krakoff have bought to our community. They’re the cutting edge in this type of care; Jewish communities across the country emulate what JHCN has been doing in Detroit,” Ross Partrich said.

“The pet visit program is particularly dear to our hearts as my mother has ser-vice dogs and sees firsthand the positive effects pet visits have on patients and their families.”

The dogs are trained and certified as therapy dogs and will calmly jump onto patients’ laps and allow themselves to be hugged for as long as the patient wants. It can be a very emotional experience and often evokes memories of childhood pets, leading to heart-warming conversations.

Sales rep Rosalind Zukowski, 47, of

Birmingham and her 3-year-old mini lab-radoodle, Frannie, were the first pet team to sign up. After a volunteer orientation in February, they started their weekly visits in March.

“I get so much enjoyment from seeing the patients’ faces light up when Frannie comes into their room. Her visits don’t only benefit the patient but also the fam-ily members,” Zukowski said.

Another two pet-and-owner teams have since joined the program, including Sherrill Platt, 68, of Oak Park, a puppy raiser for Leader Dogs for the Blind. Searches for other trained dogs and their owners are under way as the requests for the pet visits are always increasing.

Another program is Natalie and Manny’s Legacy Enrichment, made pos-sible by the Charach family, which focuses on life review and involves a professional archivist meeting with patients to docu-ment their life challenges, achievements and lessons learned, a priceless gift for the family once they’re gone.

Though these Life Enrichment pro-grams are new, there’s hope for more in the future. JHCN has just established the Beverly and Irving Laker Art Enrichment program and has undefined plans so far for a chair yoga program, massage pro-gram and pet visits with other appropri-ate animals besides dogs.

“We’re doing much more than we ever could have imagined,” Krakoff said. •

Jewish Hospice and Chaplaincy Network offers programs

to bring comfort, joy to those near the end of life.
