Know a teen-ager or young adult who's looking
for a travel/study program for school credit?

Or an opportunity to perform volunteer service?

The Michigan/Israel Connection (formerly the
Israel Desk) is here to help you:

.

Or a program that combines touring, camping
and having a ball?

Or an unforgettable experience that will give
new meaning to life as a Jew?

Choose from a wide array of Israel
programs suited to personal needs,
schedules and budgets (we repre-
sent all organizations with Israel
programs)

Or all of the above?

• Locate a scholarship and obtain
application forms to finance that trip

For business or pleasure, Israel's got it all. And
the Michigan/Israel Connection, the local
clearinghouse for Israel programs, is ready to
tell you all about it.

• Decide on the best option, based upon
personal interviews and experiences
gathered from former program
participants

An Israel experience has never been easier to arrange. Without spending a fortune in
long-distance calls, you can get all the program brochures, promotional videos and application forms
you need at the Michigan/Israel Connection office.
