ISRAEL LIKE NO ONE ELSE CAN DO IT six or more interested people." Facilitators do not have to be experts on a particular subject. They are actually working members of the group. The group plans and carries out its own learning experiences. For instance, each study group de- cides the direction for the topic, the meeting format the texts required and how often meet- ings will take place. The Cen- ter staff makes certain there's a room available for the meet- ing. Some of the study groups at IRP are "Arts, Literature and Theatre," "Film Study," "Flora, Fauna and the Michi- gan Environment," "Travel," "Yiddish," "American- Jewish-Israel Relationships," "Ethics in Medicine" and "Media Watch I and II." "One of our members is in- terested in philosophy and is trying to develop a discussion group in that area," says Sam- son. "We're also working on starting a computer group." After serving for one year as a facilitator, Irving Panush was ready to step down from his position for the study group on "The Bible As a Natural History of the Jewish People." "We finished the Five Books of Moses and I thought that would be the end," Panush says. "Wrong. We're moving right along now to 'Prophets.' " When asked if it is difficult to be a facilitator for a group like this, Panush replied that a facilitator merely keeps the group going. "It's really not dif- ficult. The only thing ever at- tacked in these groups are ideas, never personalities." Besides learning and being intellectually stimulated, the general consensus of its mem- bers is that IRP has great par- ties and special events. "The socialization within the insti- tute has become one of the spin-off benefits for its mem- bers," explains Miriam Sandweiss, director of the Cen- ter's Senior Adult Department. The activity committee planned a New Year's party, a party celebrating the signing of the institute's constitution and special field trips to con- certs, movies and exhibits. "Groups meet at both the Jimmy Prentis Morris build- ing in Oak Park and at the Maple-Drake in West Bloom- field," Sandweiss continues. "The enthusiasm from the study groups engenders friendships at both facilities, in study groups, and when the in- stitute calls meetings as a whole. It's a highly gratifying experience to work with these adults." Part of the success of the in- stitute is the ability of mem- bers to address their needs without using a formal cur- riculum of study. As a result, group members learn to use their own experiences as their primary resources. New Leadership Division, State of Israel Bonds invites you to join them in Israel May 17-29.
