(313) 254-9828 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. Sponsored by the Israel Forum and the Council of Jewish Federations, Project Otzma is under the local auspices of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan • Detroit, and funded in part by the United Jewish Founda- tion.
