Arranged nationally by the United Jewish Appeal, with local sponsorship by the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit, missions provide visitors to Israel with the op- portunity to know the Jewish state from many perspectives: social, religious, historical, geographical and political. Meetings with native Israelis, immigrants from the Soviet Union, Ethiopia and other countries give visitors a taste of the many cultures that make up Israel society. Judaism's survival through the centuries is seen at an- cient synagogues and at the Western Wall, while Masada and Yad Vashem recall episodes from Jewish history. Bus tours of the land, from Eilat in the south to Safed in the north, point out the varie- ty of the Israel landscape, from desert and mountains to lush green kibbutzim and sprawling cities. Israel's proximity to the Arab world can be seen by bus along the Israel-Egypt border at Taba, or by viewing the mountains of Jordan and Saudi Arabia from a cruise in the Gulf of Eilat. A tank demonstration or a talk by a military hero remind tra- velers about Israel's defense needs. While in Israel, visitors can see Allied Jewish Campaign- funded programs, such as ab- sorption centers for new im- migrants, Detroit's Project Renewal cities of Yavne and Ramla, a home for elderly persons and schools. Singles who participate in the annual National Summer Singles Mission can meet other singles from the U.S. and Israel during meals, par- ties and sight-seeing trips. Supervised children's ac- tivities are included in fami- ly missions. Detroiters will participate in the Winter Family Mission Dec. 22-Jan. 1. UJA also offers specialized missions, such as the recent Spain-Israel, physicians, den- tists and presidents trips. Otzma Provides Two-Way Experience Detroit is looking for college-age young adults to send next summer as its seventh annual delegation to Project Otzma, a volunteer service program in Israel. Participants in Otzma (Hebrew for strength) spend a year working and studying in Israel. On their return, they will fulfill a commitment of service to the Detroit Jewish community. Project Otzma is ad- ministered through the Israel Desk of the Jewish Federa- tion of Metropolitan Detroit, and funded in part by United Jewish Charities. Otzma participants learn about Israel's history, language, culture and life- style. They deepen their understanding through con- tact with peers and "adop- tion" by selected Israeli families. The young adults live on a kibbutz for three months, dividing their time between intensive language study (ulpan) and working in whatever area they are needed. THINKING OF ISRAEL? THINK OF US!!

They can choose a two-week stay as volunteers on an army base. Participants also spend six weeks on a new, small kibbutz or moshav in the Arava desert. The program concludes with a three-month residency working on community pro- jects in Detroit's Project Renewal neighborhood in Yavne. By this time, they are able to become a part of an Israeli community, using language and cultural skills learned during the year. Participants on Otzma VI, the group currently in Israel, include: Craig Goldsmith of Bloomfield Hills, Bonnie Hof- fer of Southfield, Emily Holzman of West Bloomfield, Stephen Kuperberg of Por- tage, Jeffrey Schlussel of Southfield, P'ninah Stein of Birmingham, and Melissa Vainik of West Bloomfield. In addition, three delegates from out of state who attend- ed Michigan universities are included in the group. They are: Amy Feldman of Wood- bridge, Conn.; Russell Kahn of Pamona, N.Y.; and Jay Tap- per of Pepper Pike, Ohio. Sponsored by the Israel Forum and the Council of Jewish Federations, Project Otzma is cosponsored by the World Zionist Organization, the Jewish Agency for Israel and the World Zionist Organization, the Jewish Agency for Israel and the World Zionist Organization. < Applications are now available for the next one- year fellowship, which begins in July 1992.
