ISRAEL

BAR-BAT MITZVAH & FAMILY TOURS

A Bar or Bat Mitzvah celebrated in Israel is a very special
experience for the entire family. During my 10 years as an
Israeli tour guide, it was my pleasure and privilege to
pioneer in the development of this program.
Now, as a tour operator for 8 years, I personally plan every
detail, select the guide, arrange the ceremony on Masada,
a special service at Yad Va-shem, a beautiful banquet din-
ner, and much more . .
For a vacation you will never forget, come with me to Israel.

refutable evidence, Dr. Lor-
ch said.
The first prints in the
AFIS computer belong to the
Oakland County child killer,
who terrorized Michigan
streets in the 1970s.
The lab still retains
evidence from the unsolved
murders, which police con-
sider an open case. Kept in a
room downstairs, the
evidence sits in brown paper
bags, waiting for a time
when new technology may
reveal the killer's identity.
Lab workers can't con-
stantly work on all unsolved
cases, but "because of the
nature of this crime, it isn't
something you want to give
up," Dr. Lorch said.
Another of Dr. Lorch's
most unforgettable cases
was the 1987 crash of Flight
255 in Romulus, where 156
died.
Lab officials, who work
with all law enforcement
agencies in the state, had re-
cently been trained in mas-
sive emergency disasters.
Dr. Lorch received his call at
10:30 a.m. on Sunday, ask-
ing him to come to the crash
site.
The yellow blankets struck
him instantly. They had
been draped over all the
human remains. He would
later refer to the terrible vi-
sion as, "the sea of yellow
blankets."
After helping organize
search teams, Dr. Lorch
worked all day collecting
human remains and tattered
belongings.
"When I went home that
night, I was exhausted. The
first thing I wanted to do
was hug my kids," he said.
"Something that really
struck me at the site was a
tote bag filled with coloring
books and the Barbie dolls.
That's the way my family
travels, too."
A father of three, Dr.
Lorch works in an office
replete with family photos
and gifts from his children,
including drawings and a
statue reading "World's
Greatest Dad."
He is an observaht Jew
who was raised in an Or-
thodox home in Washington
Heights, N.Y. The son of
German refugees, he attend-
ed a yeshiva and the Bronx
High School for Sciences.
Today, Dr. Lorch struggles
with seeming conflicts bet-
ween his job and religion.
For many years, he felt un-
comfortable wearing tzitzit
because of his work, he said.
At the same time, Judaism
has given Dr. Lorch comfort
in the most difficult times.
He remembers clinging to
his tzitzit as he gazed into

the "sea of yellow blankets."
"Holding my tzitzit made
it easier to carry on," he
said.
The final floor of the crime
lab, the basement, is home to
the firearms office and the
bomb squad:
The walls in the firearms
department are lined with
guns of every shape and size,
guns in holsters, rifles,
sawed-off shotguns and Uzis.
"You name it, it's come
through here," Dr. Lorch
said.
An imprint of the groove
on the inside of a gun re-
mains when a bullet is
discharged. Lab workers test
weapons suspected of use in
a crime by using the gun to
shoot bullets into a 14-feet
deep tank filled with water.
Then they check to see if the
patterns match.
Wearing earphones, the
analyst shoots a gun into a
bucket in the water. It
makes a tremendous clank-
ing sound.
In the next room is the
bomb squad. The squad
receives about one call a
week, Dr. Lorch said.
Wherever they go, they take
along a white trailer, a
large, circular container into
which bombs are placed.
The men admit their work
is terrifying and exceedingly
dangerous, but still they
manage to joke about it.
"We see everything here
— decapitation, mutilation,
dismemberment," Dr. Lorch
said. "Of course, you have to
be sensitive to those in-
volved in the crime. That's
very important to me.
"But you've also got to
keep your sense of humor. If
you couldn't joke about this,
you'd go stark raving
mad." ❑
