Well some of us actu- ally endured long enough for the ultimate revenge: becom- ing an English teacher in Is- rael! Julie (Schubot) Hyman, a former Southfielder, began her teaching career in Israel as an English instructor at a Jerusalem yeshiva. She went to Israel after obtaining her arts degree from the Univer- sity of Michigan in 1978. For twelve years Julie had attended Hebrew school at Temple Beth El and was active in their youth group, Misty; also, Julie's grand- mother, Pearl Nosenchuck, had always been involved in Zionist groups. All this naturally answers the ques- tion "What's a nice Jewish girl like you, doing in a place like this?" "At first, it wasn't easy," she says. I'm the only girl in my family and my parents were apprehensive about my being alone in a foreign coun- try even though it was Israel. Now that I'm married and they've come to know my husband Zvika and our one- year-old daughter Veerit, they're flying over to visit two or three times a year. Having seen the situation firsthand, they're much more relaxed since they know that I'm perfectly safe here and Zvika is taking good care of me!" Before marriage, Julie taught at two public schools in Jerusalem as an art teacher. The job was often Shelly Sherman Nadiv is a native Detroiter who has lived in Israel. , frustrating as the students had to bring their own art supplies and would often forget them. They were un- able to leave their materials overnight as there are no lockers in Israeli schools, due to the fear that bombs could be hidden inside by terrorists. "When I went to high school in Southfield the authorities were afraid of the kids hiding drugs and knives in their lockers and our art depart- ment had a potter's wheel and a kiln for ceramics, quite. a difference!" Judaism has always been an important part of Julie's life. Living in Israel has helped both her and her fam- ily to identify more strongly with the religion. "In America, it's not con- sidered 'cool' to be proud of your religion," she says. The Jewish community has be- come so assimilated that many people of my genera- tion have completely lost touch with their roots. I don't want this to happen with my children. Israel has a very healthy environment. The kids here don't have to worry about being molested while they're playing outside, or going to school and being knifed because someone wants their leather jacket; also I can walk home in my neighborhood after midnight with no problem." Julie is currently living in a three bedroom apartment in Maoz Aviv, a suburb of Tel Aviv. Her husband works as an internal auditor and their daughter (who has the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen) is busy cutting teeth. Julie is also involved with an English speaking post-natal support group who has among it's members other former Detroiters. "As well as I am able to manage with the Hebrew language, when it comes to complaining about the difficulties of child rais- ing, it feels better doing it in English."
