t had never been done
before, but hopefully it
will be done again. For
the first time, a definite effort
was made by the young
Jewish community to com-
municate positively, ap-
preciate and share their com-
mon Jewish heritage.
April 7 was the beginning
of this milestone event. About
40 teens gathered at Camp
Maas for the first Robert
Kornwise Memorial Week-
end. In memory of their son
Robert, Dr. Sanford and
Maureen Kornwise sponsored
this weekend so that the
members of different youth
organizations and schools
could meet and learn about
each other.
The organizers of this
weekend, Lisa Eidelman,
president of B'nai B'rith
Girls; Robert Weiss, president
of AZA; David Tessler, presi-
dent of United Synagogue
Youth; Robbie Wineman,
president of Michigan State
Temple Youth; and Rabbi
Bruce Aft of United Hebrew
Schools, all realized the im-
portance for this event and
were eager to see its success.
The weekend was full of
fun, friends and memories.
Friday night, a Kabbalat
Shabbat service was held
with many songs and poems.
Lisa Eidelman is president of
the Great Lakes Council of
B'nai B'rith Girls.
After services there was a ses-
sion on stereotypes led by the
"Talk to Us" troupe from the
University of Michigan.
Saturday morning a more
traditional type of service was
held. During the afternoon
there were two study groups,
one arranged by USY and the
other by MSTY. After dinner,
an inspiring Havdallah ser-
vice was held. Following that,
a talent show was put on. All
the participants had a great
time putting together dif-
ferent acts. The night was
capped off with a program
dealing with Jewish identity
in film presented by Prof.
Mashey Bernstein from the
University of Michigan.
The last of our study groups
was presented Sunday morn-
ing, this time by BBYO.
Before leaving Sunday, there
was a friendship circle. This
tradition, which is a part of
every youth group, was the
perfect end to a great
beginning.
All who attended this
special event feel as if it was
something really worthwhile.
Studying the religious beliefs
of others is an integral part of
understanding the differences
in the practice of the Jewish
religion. Many people in this
and other communities can
learn a very valuable lesson
from the actions of these 40
teens. An idea impressed
upon the youth at the
weekend has merit for
everyone: "When you learn to
see with your eyes closed, on-
ly then can you truly learn to
see with your eyes open." ❑
Pitt Family Offers
Scholarships To Teens
The Irving and Sarah Pitt
Foundation has established
five new scholarships to help
local Jewish youth attend
BBYO summer leadership
programs.
The scholarships are $300
each and can be used towards
defraying the costs of B'nai
B'rith Yough Organization's
Chapter Leadership Training
Conference (CLTC) at Camp
Beber in Mukwonago, Wis.,
and International Leadership
Training Conference (ILTC) at
B'nai B'rith Perlman Camp
in Starlight, Pa.
The Pitts, longtime sup-
porters of the Hilel Founda-
tions in Michigan and B'nai
B'rith Youth Services Appeal,
established the Pitt Founda-
tion in 1980 to assist B'nai
B'rith Hillel programs in
Michigan.
The scholarships are
available to currently
registered members of
Michigan BBYO who plan to
further their leadership ex-
periences by attending either
the CLTC or ILTC programs
this summer. Consideration
for the award will be given
both to need and top achieve-
ment in the BBYO program.
Recipients of the scholarships
are expected to write an essay
to the scholarship committee
relating what they have
learned and to commit them-
selves to getting someone else
involved with leadership.
Applications are available
at the BBYO Chapter Service
Center by contacting Arnold
J. Weiner, director, 788-0700.
