'90 and '91 vehicles in stock only, 18 FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1991 Managing Editor ederation's long- planned study mission to Israel was postponed last Friday following the U.S. State Department's recommendation that Americans leave Israel if they don't need to be there. Thirty-five people were signed up for the week-long journey which was supposed to leave New York on Jan. 19. "All this didn't happen un- til Friday when the State Department made its ad- visory that all Americans evacuate Israel," said Bob Aronson, Federation's exec- utive vice president. "Our leadership met and we decided that considering the responsibility that we have for the community, we had no choice except to postpone the trip. Everybody we spoke to who was scheduled to go on the trip said they were still ready to go as soon as we get the all clear. We're still hanging in. "This leaves us with an empty feeling," Mr. Aronson continued. "We feel a con- cern for Israel right now." Federation president Mark Schlussel, who actually helped conceive the trip and was to lead it in Israel, said that it was with a great deal of sadness that the trip was called off. He added that Israeli officials needed to spend their time in prepara- tion for the defense of their homeland rather than brief a U.S. mission. "Our group might not serve as an inspiration but more as a hindrance during these trying times," Mr. Schlussel said. "I think fur- ther that if, God forbid, war "This leaves us with an empty feeling." Bob Aronson comes, it's critically impor- tant that the Federation leadership be available in Detroit to make appropriate decisions concerning how we'll maximize our resources to fully support Israel's efforts." Larry Jackier, another member of the contingent, also expressed his sorrow at the trip's cancellation. "In the face of what is go- ing on, it's the only rational reaction to take," he said. "We're in a position of just watching and observing world events, and when it's reasonable to visit Israel, a significant group of people from Detroit will go." FR. ONLY • ?4Iff PHIL JACOBS Tay-Sachs Screening Will Be Re-Scheduled STAFF REPORT T he Tay-Sachs disease screening scheduled for Sunday at Sinai Hospital of Detroit was cancelled by the hospital due to lack of interest. Genetics counselor Robin Gold, a genetics counselor at the hospital, said the special screening for the Orthodox community only had two in- quiries. The special screen- ing, in conjunction with the Chevra Dor Yeshorim organization in Brooklyn, N.Y., does not inform par- ticipants whether they are Tay-Sachs carriers. Instead, when a couple plans to marry they send their test identification numbers to the organization and are in- formed if they could produce a Tay-Sachs baby. Ms. Gold said the lack of interest may be due to the community-wide screenings conducted two years ago. "We went into the day schools then, and I guess there just isn't enough in- terest right now." Rabbi Shaiall Zachariash of Congregation Shomrey Emunah helped coordinate the Chevra Dor Yeshorim screening. He said a screen- ing would probably be scheduled in early 1992. "Last time we did several classes at the day schools. We should have more inter- est next year when the younger classes move up." Ms. Gold said Sinai is planning a general commun- ity screening in April or May. Individuals may also contact Sinai at any time for a personal appointment. A child born with Tay- Sachs appears normal for the first five to six months of life but has a life expectancy of only four or five years.
