Amaze Israeli Teens

rive-through windows
were amazing; Man-
hattan shocking and
the great distances between
cities awe-inspiring for two
Israeli teenagers visiting the
United States for the first
time.
Alon Hilu and Merav
Zafary, both 16, were in
Detroit recently as teenage
ambassadors from Israel, on a
mission to tell their U.S.
counterparts, both Jewish
and non-Jewish, what it is
like to be an Israeli.
"We told them (teens) that
Israel is not only war and
what they see in the media,"
Merav said. "Israel is also
teenagers and fun. We're very
much alike — music, food,
sports."
"Sometimes we feel we are
American teens' only source
of information about our
country," Alon added. "We
answer all kinds of ques-
tions."
The kinds of questions the
two teens fielded were on a
variety of issues: politics,
dating, dancing, drinking,
school and the army.
Alon and Merav were con-
cluding a six-week, Israel
Foreign Ministry sponsored
tour of America, which took
them to New York, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Michigan and Washington,
D.C. They were among 72
Israeli teenagers sent to the
U.S., Canada, Europe and
Latin America to hold
dialogues with their foreign
peers.
Prior to coming to the
United States, Alon and
Merav were enrolled in orien-
tation seminars which taught
them how to respond to such
questions as being a Jew and
sports in Israel and how to
speak to Americans. The two

were given "gimmicks" to
show the similarities between
themselves and their U.S.
peers. Among them were a
Coca Cola can with the
beverage's name printed in
Hebrew, the symbol of Mac-
David's — the kosher Israeli
counterpart to America's
McDonald's — and a rap song
in Hebrew.
Merav, a ballet dancer, ma-
jors in physics, math and
chemistry in high school. Her
favorite subjects are the
sciences. "I don't like much
history and Bible," she said.
"Because I'm a dancer, I like
gym!'
On Friday nights, Merav
puts the books away to be
with friends. She goes to
discos, parties, restaurants
and "downtown!' She dances
eight hours a week and does
a lot of studying. In her busy
schedule she has no time for
TV.
What impressed the two
were the great distances be-
tween and the vastness of U.S.
cities. They said the ex-
pressways that connect the
north end of Detroit to the
downtown area were the
same distance between
Aviv and Jerusalem.
Merav and Alon were also
amazed by the size of New
York's skyscrapers. "Manhat-
tan shocked iis," Netanya
native Merav said. The two
were in New York for a "week
of fun" and their itenary in-
cluded visits to the Empire
State Building, Chinatown,
Trump Tower and Greenwich
Village. Merav had hoped to
see Disneyworld, but Florida
was not on the schedule.
Jerusalem native Alon said
he was apprehensive about
taking the trip to America
but his parents convinced him
to go. Merav's parents "push-
ed me to go" and she's glad
she did. "It is a great oppor-
tunity, a great experience." 0
