until last week.
On Wednesday, the seventh-

Their program, called Passport
to Israel, is a non-political and
non-religious social studies unit
designed to be presented in a
Middle East curriculum.

The presentation includes
comparing Israel's size and loca-
tion to Michigan and the rest of
the world, a quiz game, hands-
on display of the people of Israel
and posters of the country.
Before NCJW comes into the
classroom, students are given
and asked to review a passport
that includes information on Is-
rael's location, climate, govern-
ment and population.
"The aim of the program is not
to talk about Israel out of the
blue," said Marta Rosenthal,

about Israel," said Marti Pe-
tersen, a teacher at Larson Mid-
dle School in Troy. "We were very
pleased with the program be-
cause it provides a cultural and
chairman of Passport to Is-
rael. "We ask that students
have some knowledge
before we go into the
classroom."
Students in Holly,
Oxford, Rochester Hills
and Dearborn also
have taken "trips" to Is-
rael this year.
After the presenta-
tion, Larson Middle
School students wrote
letters about the pro-
gram.
One student wrote:
"I never realized how
many different people live in Is-
rael. You had a lot of interesting
stories to share with us. I thought
the one about the Dead Sea was
most interesting. ❑
