/AY": , • //'", college students seeking to preserve an old Jewish cemetery and others begging for books so they can teach Hebrew — these were the lasting impressions described by Detroiters who visited there. Joel Shapiro spoke of a refusenik named Mikhail in Leningrad: "He's been trying for 14 years to get out. He said they'd taken everything from him already, what else could they do to him?" "What I took away from the Soviet experience," said Mark Schlussel, "was that a group of people at great personal risk were announcing their Jewish beliefs." National Jubilee Chairman David Hermelin, whose spirited leadership took a thousand Americans through a rigorous agenda of remem- brance, celebration and study, made special note of his fellow Detroiters — one of the largest delegations in the en- tire mission. After his ex- periences in the Soviet Union and Israel, "I'm going home charged up — and convinced we can make a difference," he said. lb prove that Detroiters will do just that, Joel D. Tauber, Jubilee Mission campaign chairman, announced that local participants pledged $1,950,000 to the 1989 Allied Jewish Campaign — $400,000 more than they pledged last year. In addition, they pledg- ed $485,000 for Project Renewal. Charlotte Dubin is public relations director of the Jewish Welfare Fededration of Detroit.
