hen Shoshana
Dvorkin made
aliyah in 1990 she
was 20 years old,
alone, and afraid she
would never be able to call
Bar-Ilan University her
alma mater.
The Russian native put
her fears to rest with the
help of the "Exodus Adopt-
A-Student" program, spon-
sored by Bar-Ilan. The
program matches Russian
and Ethiopian students in
Israel with sponsors in
America, Canada and
England. For $4,000 each,
Americans are supporting
more than 200 immigrants
studying at Bar-Ilan this
year.

Eighty Detroiters have
become "adopters" — more
than from any other
American city, said Leslie
Goldstein, Midwest execu-
tive director of Bar-Ilan.
In addition to tuition,
the "adoption" cost pays
for university services,
like social workers, acade-
mic counselors, rent and
spending money.
More than 1,000 stu-
dents, 750 from the former
Soviet Union, have been
adopted through the pro-
gram so far.
Administrators at Bar-
Ilan, like those at other
Israeli universities, have
scrambled to admit the
large number of olim from
Ethiopia and Russia into
their programs.
"Israel (as a whole) is
still scrambling," said
Rabbi Pinchas Hayman,

dean of students at Bar
Ilan.
To meet the challenge o
absorbing the growing stu
dent population, Bar-Ilal
instituted the "Adopt-A
Student" program. "W
feel the moral obligatioi
to accept these student
ii
and root them
Judaism," Rabbi Hayman ,
said.
Barbara Stollman,
Bloomfield Hills, serves or
the board of Bar-Ilan. She
has adopted a student
whom she has met in per
son.
"Israel can become E
way station (for immi
grants)," she said. "If w(
can give them some o:
their Jewishness, mak(
Zionists out of them, and
make them understand
what Israel's all about
hopefully, they will stay ire ,
Israel and remain Jews."
Bernice Gershenson
also of Bloomfield Hills
has a background it
research bacteriology. She
supports an 18-year-old
student from Russia whc
is studying physics at Bar
Ilan. They met in Israe:
last summer.
"I particularly asked for
a student in the science
field," she said. "He was
brilliant and very sweet.
These young people may
be doing a great, great
service to the whole world.
It's great that the people
of the United States are
willing to donate sums of
money so these young peo-
ple can get through col-
lege."111

lan Stiebel found
out last week just
how women view
him.
"I was sitting in my
office and I heard my sec-
retaries screaming. I ran
out tp find out what the
commotion was about.
And they told me I had
been selected Cosmopol-

itan's bachelor of the
month," he said.
Dr. Stiebel, a 36-year-
old podiatrist from
Bloomfield Hills, couldn't
believe it. . He didn't even
know his picture and biog-
raphy had been submitted
to the magazine. Dr.
