THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
552-0088
A portion of the 80-member Detroit mission outside the State
Department.
known as the Hermelin Mis-
sion because it has been led
by the effervescent husband-
and-wife team of David and
Doreen Hermelin for two con-
secutive years.
The full-day program in-
cluded talks by Sen. Donald
Riegle, Rep. Sander Levin
and Rep. Dennis Hertel of the
Michigan delegation, Rep.
Samuel Gejdenson (D-Conn.),
who was born in the DP
camps after World War II
and may be the only
Yiddish-speaking member of
Congress, briefings by
spokesmen for the Israel Em-
bassy, the American Israel
Public Affairs Committee
(AIPAC), the State Depart-
ment and Pentagon, a stop at
the daily vigil near the
Soviet Embassy and a visit to
the Vietnam Memorial.
David Hermelin rated the
mission "very successful," ex-
plaining that it raised from
the participants some
$374,000 for the Allied
Jewish Campaign, a 25 per-
cent increase over last. year,
plus an additional $13,000 for
Project Renewal. In addition,
he said, it accomplished a
variety of other goals as well.
"A mission like this gives
people a sense of community
and an ability to interact and
discuss issues," said Herme-
lin, who is co-chairman of the
1987 Campaign and is ex-
tremely involved in a host of
Jewish communal activities.
"It gives people a better
perspective of how the com-
munity works, and it helps
develop leadership within the
community."
Besides the large turnout,
Hermelin said he was pleased
at the fact that the partici-
pants were of all age groups
and included more women
this year, and he was im-
pressed with the number of-
people who expressed an
interest in becoming actively
involved in Federation work.
As for his own involve-
ment, he says he enjoys lead-
ing the mission because "it
gives me a 'good feeling of
continuity, and it's quite up-
lifting to see the level of the
participants."
They came for a variety of
reasons. Shirley Lowenthal,
who is active in several
Jewish organizations, said
that her husband raved about
last year's mission so she de-
cided to come to increase her
own political awareness.
Eddie Barak, a businessman,
said he wanted to hear first-
hand what the policymakers
had to say about Israel and
the Mideast. And Anne
Jacobs, whose son and
daughter-in-law are in the
diplomatic corps, said that in
all of her visits to Washing-
ton to see them, she never
had the opportunity to see
the workings of government.
A spokesman for the organ-
ization in Washington that
coordinates such trips for fed-
erations in cities around the
country said that Detroit
stands out for the size of its
delegation and the political
sophistication of its partici-
pants.
That was reflected in the
way the Senators and Con-
gressmen addressed the
group, more like close friends
than visiting constituents.
Sen. Levin was clearly in-
censed by an article he had
read in that day's Washing-
ton Post describing how
evangelist Jimmy Swaggart,
who recently purchased a
$100,000 Israel Bond, told his
congregants that Jesus had
personally told him to raise
more money for the church
and he felt compelled to do so
because "I've learned not to
bargain with Jesus — he's a
Jew." Levin cited the case as
an example of the threat to
American Jews and other
minorities in a society that
would seek to "Christianize"
America.
Levin asserted that the up-
coming elections will help de-
termine the future of
pluralism in America, and he
urged his audience to expand
their horizons and vote for
candidates on the basis of a
full range of issues, not just
on Israel.
Another speaker during the
lunch session at the Rayburn
Building mentioned Rep.
Mark Siljander as a perfect
example of a legislator With
an outstanding voting record
on Israel, but a disturbing re-
cord on pluralism issues like
school prayer and separation
of church and state. The
Michigan Congressman from
