In celebration of the ongoing miracle of creating a modern Jewish state, the largest, non- fund-raising trip launched from Michigan is open to families with children age 13 and older and individuals from around the state, April 18-28, 1993. The mission has tracks for experienced visitors to Israel as well as first-timers. Based in Jerusalem, mission-goers will tour in small groups, coming together for "mega" events. The itinerary will in- clude something for everyone, including boat rides on Lake Kinneret, jeep and camel rides and participants will see Israel from Tel Aviv to Masada, from the Galilee to the Dead Sea. Mission-goers will par- ticipate in the celebration of Israel's 45th anniversary of Independence — Yom Ha'atz- maut — in Jerusalem. They will experience Israel's an- cient and recent history, visit Project Renewal neighbor- hoods in Detroit's sister cities of Yavne and Ramle and learn about current issues. Participants will get an in- depth look at the experiences and realities of Israel today. They will visit new im- migrants at absorption centers and learn about the initial stages of their resettle- ment. Mission-goers also will visit high tech facilities and learn about Israel's economic realities and future. Plans call for the 10-day trip, which will cost $1,993 per person, to fly direct from Detroit to Tel Aviv's Ben- Gurion Airport. A $500 deposit will reserve a spot in the mission, and participants who pay in full by Nov. 16, 1992, will receive a $50 dis- count on the per-person cost. Payment can be made by Visa or MasterCard. The trip is sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit and coordinated with the coopera- tion of The Jewish News in celebration of its 50th an- niversary, as well as many organizations and congrega- tions throughout Michigan. David Hermelin is chair- man of the Michigan Miracle Mission. Susan Citrin, Dr. Conrad Giles, Lawrence Jackier and Jane Sherman are co-chairmen. Their mis- sion consists of represen- tatives from the statewide Jewish community who act as liaisons to organizations to recruit from and speak among their colleagues. For applications or informa- tion, contact Tami Margolis, 642-4260. Descendants Plan Family Reunion Descendants of the scholar/poet Rabbi Meir ben Baruch of Rothenburg (1215-1293) will have a fami- ly reunion in Paris next year, the 700th anniversary of the death of their forefather.
