Detroit is sending its
seventh annual delegation on
Project Otzma, a volunteer
service program in Israel for
young adults.
Participants in Otzma
(Hebrew for strength) will
spend the next year working
and studying in Israel. On
their return, they will fulfill
a commitment of service to
the Detroit Jewish
community.
Project Otzma is coor-
dinated by the Council of
Jewish Federations and ad-
ministered locally through
the Israel Desk of the Jewish
Federation of Metropolitan
Detroit.
Detroit's
13-member
delegation is made up of
university students and re-
cent graduates.
The group will learn about
Israel's history, language,
culture and lifestyle. They
will be able to deepen their
understanding through con-
tact with peers and "adop-
tion" by selected Israeli
families.
The young adults will live
on a kibbutz for three months,
dividing their time between
intensive language study
(ulpan) and integration into
all aspects of kibbutz life.
Afterward, they will tutor
and work with Israeli and im-
migrant teens for six weeks at
a Youth Aliyah village.
Following an optional two-
week stay as volunteers on an
army base, participants also
will spend six weeks on a new,
small kibbutz or moshav in
the Arava desert.
The program will conclude
with a three-month residency
working on community pro-
jects in Detroit's Project
Renewal neighborhood in
Yavne.
Israeli educators, politi-
cians, scientists, authors and
artists meet with the
students.
This year's group includes:
Jane Berman of West Bloom-
field, Amy Emmer of Farm-
ington Hills, Wendy Gach of
Bloomfield Hills, Michael
Gutman of Farmington Hills,
Renee Himelhoch of
Southfield, Erica Lansky of
West Bloomfield, Sam Lulkin
of Farmington Hills, Dana
Miller of Orchard Lake, Eric
Rosenthal of Farmington
Hills, and Alyson and Tammy
Rubin of Bloomfield Hills.
