portive for events, travel
"and especially phone bills,"
Mr. Nosanchuk says.
Through NFTY conven-
tions, GLTY members have
made friends with Jewish
youth nationwide.
"And that means parents-
have to pay phone bills for
the kids to call their friends
all over the country," Mr.
Nosenchuk say.
He keeps the level of ac-
tivity high. Between
meetings and regular pro-
grams come special gather-
ings, regional weekends and
MSTY events. In the
summer, kids — and ad-
visers — are encouraged to
attend NFTY camps.
One of the students' cen-
tral concerns is social issues,
Mr. Nosanchuk says. In ad-
dition to the Chanukah and
Purim parties, one of
GLTY's major programs is
Mitzvah Day, when they
perform odd jobs around
town in exchange for dona-
tions to worthy causes.
GLTY members also
decided to support the East
Lansing Economic Crisis
Center, which aids the
homeless. GLTY plans to
refurbish a children's
playroom at the center.
"The neat thing about
high school kids is that
they're very concerned about
the world," Mr. Nosanchuk
says. At GLTY, "you're just
not cool unless you're for so-
cial justice and spirituality."
Students also plan Friday
night services, where ser-
mons regularly focus on in-
dividuality and social action,
and "shul-ins," where they
stay overnight at the local
synagogue.
"There's nothing I love
like hearing a kid answer
the question, 'What are you
doing on Friday night?'
with, 'I'm going to a shul-
in,' Mr. Nosanchuk says.
The kids are at the center
of all events. he says. The
advisers' responsibility is to
show the students their
potential — not to tell them
how to manage their own
programs.
"You give the kids certain
guidelines and advice and
they'll shine," Mr. Nosan-
chuk says. "I give them
credit for almost everything
GLTY does."
Tracy Welch, a 12th
grader in East Lansing,
came to the group on- the
recommendation of her older
sister, also once a GLTY
member. Tracy, who recent-
ly organized her first
statewide ,conclave, says she
enjoys GLTY because "I
really like getting together
with Jewish friends. It gives
me a different perspective."
GLTY Junior member
Danny Glickman, an 8th
grader in Okemos, decided to
join up after he heard Mr.
Nosanchuk speak at his
temple about the group.
Danny knows a youth
group sounds like the last
thing in the world a junior
high student would want to
join, "but everybody likes
it," he says. "It's because the
people who run it are college
guys."
Working side-by-side with
Rob Nosanchuk is Danny
Phillips, GLTY song leader.
From a family active in
youth groups, Mr. Phillips,
of Southfield, was inspired to
take up the guitar after he
went to Kutz Camp, a NFTY
camp in Warwick, N.Y.
"I was so impressed by
everybody singing and danc-
ing," • he says. "I wanted to
make a crowd feel what I'd
felt."
Mr. Phillips teaches the
students NFTY songs as
well as more traditional
Jewish music. "A lot of
times, we give kids their
first experience with
prayer," he says.
They sing along with
Madonna, but it doesn
