Mr. Finkelberg responded
to concerns expressed by
parents in recent months
about the camps' emphasis.
"Tripping, outdoor skills
w and survival are being
enhanced," he said. "We are
2 improving the waterfronts
and land sports, but not
downgrading the outdoor
, skills. They have always
been excellent and they have
always been the fundamen-
'tals of Tamarack."
He responded to rumors
that camp officials wanted to
install a swimming pool and
combine the Brighton and
Ortonville programs at
Camp Maas, thereby allow-
ing the sale of the Brighton
property.
He said, "We need a pool
because of the summer we
just had —rainy and cold.
But a pool is not in the plans
right now."
He said the issue of selling
the Brighton property has
been raised for 10 years.
"All I can tell you is we are
operating for '93."
For the last 11 years, he
said, the summer programs
at Tamarack and Maas have
enrolled 1,400-1,500 chil-
dren. He said the more flexi-
ble programs in 1993 are
designed to find out "if
that's all we have."
"Om goal," he said, "is to
provide the best facilities
and program in the camping
field for less." El

od, according to a
bumper sticker seen
around town, is a re-
ligious Zionist.
= Members of Mizrachi
would likely agree. The Re-
ligious Zionists of America,
Mizrachi Hapoel
'L HaMizrachi, is an advocate
for both Orthodox Judaism
- and the State of Israel. Bas-
ed in New York, Mizrachi
has 134 chapters throughout
the country, including a
Detroit office that is in the
midst of revitalization.
We need a group that
,-stands up for what we
believe in," said Mintzi
Schramm, corresponding
secretary for the group.
Most recently, Detroit
Mizrachi has been a fund-
' raising organization for Bnei
Akiva, the religious Zionist
youth movement.
Its new agenda includes
not only Bnei Akiva, but
expanding its work as a po-
litical action and religious
group. It has a revamped
'1 mailing list and is set to host
a lecture series featuring
Wayne State University
Professor Jacob Lassner, and
University of Michigan pro-
fessors Todd Endelman and
Zvi Gitelman.
The first lecture, where
Dr. Lassner will discuss
"Islamic Studies: Jewish
Perspectives on the Arab
World," will be 8 p.m. Dec. 6
II at the United Hebrew
Schools building.
r' Since its founding in 1909,
Mizrachi has been a strong
supporter of Israeli social-
service agencies and educa-
tional institutions. In the
"
Call 363-4121 for our
United States, it has
disseminated information
about religious Zionism and
funded youth groups, camps,
and other projects.
Mizrachi also has been
outspoken on political
issues, such as its opposition
to the decision by some
right-wing Orthodox Jews
not to serve in the Israeli
military.
Mrs. Schramm believes it's
important that a local voice
be available for religious
Zionists. "We never died
here," she said. "But now
we're really marshalling
support."
In addition to the lecture
series and reaching out to
new members, Mizrachi is
developing a brochure
detailing the group's agen-
da.
