Ozery counsels Jeff Petts and Cathy Clements about Israel experiences
in which they may wish to participate.

Debbie Rosenstein of West
Bloomfield participated in
the B'nai B'rith Youth
Organization Israel Summer
Institute last summer. "I
learned that Jewish kids from
all over the world can feel at
home in Israel," she said. "I
didn't feel like a tourist most
of the time." She'd like to go
back during her junior year in
college.
Although Michael HarPaz
holds dual citizenship — U.S.
and Israeli — he still learns
something each time he visits
the Jewish state. As a
member of the AZYF pro-
gram last summer, Michael
said touring and working on
a kibutz taught him about
"the common Israelis" and
about the history of Israel. He
also gained insight into the
Palestinians when he attend-
ed a conference on propagan-
da. "I now understand where
Palestinians are coming from,
" he said.
Not only did Michael learn
about Jewish life while on the
program, but about life in
general. While Michael was
on the kibutz which housed
children from troubled
homes, he heard that one of
the children tried to commit
suicide. Michael, the other
teens and a medic came to the
child's rescue. The experience
taught him "about the fragili-
ty of life."

Being mature enough to
handle an overseas ex-
perience is one of the re-
quirements for participation.
In addition, students must be
experienced in living away
from home, have the right
motivation — they have to
have an interest in the
academic component — and
they have to be in good
physical health. Hebrew is
not a requirement, but it'
helps, Ozery said.
Prior to their trips abroad,
students have orientation
meetings describing the
features of the trips and the
requirements. Each move-
ment has its own orientation
meeting.
In Israel, students are hous-
ed in three-star hotels, dorms
and youth hostels. There is
usually a 1:15 ratio of adults
to students, with American
and Israeli counselors for
each group.
Scholarships are available
through the Jewish Welfare
Federation.
Most of the teens who par-
ticipate in the programs are
first timers. Ozery said he
hopes they'll come back to
Detroit with " a better
understanding of their
Jewish identity, Israel and
their Jewish history. I hope.
they will build a bridge bet-
ween the local Jewish com-
munity and Israel." 0
S
tudents are being en-
rolled in and teachers
interviewed for the
Yavneh Academy, the Reform
Jewish Day School of
Metropolitan Detroit, slated
to open in September at the
Maple/Drake Jewish Com-
munity Center.
Detroit's first Reform
Jewish day school will accept
students in kindergarten
through second grade. Tuition
will be $4,250 per year per
child for the 1989-1990 term.
Speaking at an informa-
tional meeting for parents
last week, Dr. Margaret S.
Eichner, headmaster, said
that if there are not enough
children to fill the first and
second grade, a combined
class will receive grade-
appropriate instruction in
secular subjects and combine
for Hebrew, prayers, music
and art.
Yavneh President James
Jonas was confident that
there will be enough enroll-
ment to open the school in the
fall. "We have the critical
mass to start a successful
(Reform) day school program
in Detroit."
