eautiful. Very nice.
That was a typical
reaction of those in a
group of 200 of Detroit's re-
cent Soviet Jewish emigres as
they strolled the grounds of
the University of Michigan
campus on a sunny, Sunday
afternoon, July 15.
"Ann Arbor is a great city,
a European style city with
people walking in the
streets, shops open and
cafes," said Yuri Kalis, a 24-
year-old mechanical engi-
neer from Leningrad. "It's
the kind of city all of us
miss." Kalish, a Southfield
resident, came to the United
States with his parents in
April of 1989.
The group was on a tour
organized by the Shalom
Sunday program of Jewish
Experiences for Families
and was co-sponsored by
Families to Families, a
Detroit-based program
