Numerically and logistically, taking in such huge numbers makes no sense. Yet more than half of the Soviet olim are now employed. In order to accept reality you must believe in miracles. These olim, ex-refusenik Yuli Edels- tein told us, are forcing the Israelis to discover who they really are. At Rishon Letzion, one of the best examples of direct absorption into com- munity life, we met with new Israelis who recognize that many may never find employ- ment in the fields in which they trained in the Soviet Union. Yet they continue to come — not for themselves, but for their children and their children's children. Here in a community center, one of our group, Anne Newman, discovered that the Russian woman for whom she had been working to find a way to bring to Detroit has left the Soviet Union and was seated immediately beside her. Without any assurance that she will secure a position in her field, Galina Linden- baum has decided to make a new home in Rishon Letzion for herself and her daughter. We visited Yavne, Detroit's Project Renewal sister city. We saw the handsome, newly- renovated Henry Ford II park, the Teitel Day Care Center, and a child development center partially provided by an Applebaum, Hermelin, Tauber grant. We danced with seniors who will move from a crowded recreation facility for the elderly to a brand-new senior citizens center — from monies we here in Detroit have contributed to Project Renewal through the Allied Jewish Campaign. Yavne families welcomed us and Detroit's eight college students taking part in the OTZMA program this year in- to their homes for dinner. Thursday, October 10 We saw Jerusalem as a microcosm of the complex- ities facing Israel today. From a church rooftop, we peered down upon the Christian mosaic in the Old City. What will shape our thinking and our actions, the Jews' majori- ty status in the land of Israel or our minority position in the world? And what of the Greek Orthodox, the Lutherans, the Armenians? Amir Heshen, Jerusalem's advisor on Arab affairs, reminded us that although Israelis attempt to provide equal services to Arab and Jewish communities, the Arabs have not yet recogniz- ed Jerusalem as a unified ci- ty. And Ziad Abu Ziad, an outspoken Palestinian, minc- ed no words in his demand for either equal citizenship for the West Bank Palestinians or allowing the territories to become an independent Palestinian state. No other choices, Ziad proclaimed to us, while General "Ya Ya" (Yoram Yair) admits that the Israelis may need to pay for peace. But the important question becomes: How much? Also, an army is not designed to contain an in- tifada, he explained. "We're doing the best we can, and, truthfully, the Palestinians know this." Friday, October 11 We awoke at 4 a.m. to meet a plane of new olim from the Soviet Union. Their faces first full of fear, then wonderment, then gradually accepting the reality of the welcome and love awaiting them on the tarmac. We, the visitors, were given the honor of welcoming them to Israel. We have pledged to provide what help we can through our Federation commitments. But by now we have seen that it is the Israelis, themselves, who bear the burden of ab- sorption. We cried as we sang Hatikvah today. but it is the Israelis who will be enriched by the strength of this unpre- cedented aliyah. That after- noon Dr. Eta Bick, a settler in Gush Etzion on the West Bank, explained in the no- nonsense terms of both a mother and a political scien- tist why she and her fellow settlers have both the historical and legal rights to retain their land and that the world must understand that any withdrawal from the ter- ritories would be a very pain- ful process. When the sun set at the Western Wall that evening, we prayed, each with our own private thoughts. At Shabbat dinner Melitz Direc- tor Avraham Infeld reiterated that we are all products of our own experience, and we must understand the concept of Jewish peoplehood. But then we walked through Mea Shearim and realized that the answers to what it means to be Jewish become even more complex. We have not climb- ed Masada. We did not swim in the Dead Sea. Many in our group had been to this land countless times, and yet, we
