Aish HaTorah of Metro Detroit presents STRAIGHT TALK page 97 T • H • E ONE DAY DISCOVERY What is DISCOVERY DISCOVERY is an exciting one day seminar which has captured the hearts and stimulated the minds of 50,000 Jews on 4 continents - from New York to Nairobi. The DISCOVERY Seminar aims to provide a thoughtful, intelligent answer to the ques- tion, "Why be Jewish?" The seminar is not a nostalgic reiteration of Jewish traditions and history. It is a bold, com- pelling display of Judaism's past, present and future vitality! DISCOVERY's sophisticated approach was developed by leading educators and scientists and adapted to a one-day format by Aish HaTorah, an organization with a unique ability to captivate critical thinking Jews with profound meaning of their heritage. "I thought the day was wonderful. The quality of the speakers was uniformly excellent. This seminar would certainly inspire people to become more curious about their Judaism." Marcie Hermelin Orley Who attends DISCOVERY? The program is designed for Jewish men and women of all ages who are short on time but long on curiosity, who have a sophisticated secular education but limited background in Jewish Studies. "It was exhilarating in many ways and the day went by much too fast. I left feeling a much stronger spiritual identity. I would recommend Discovery to anyone who would like to increase their knowledge of Judaism" Jim Safran "Aish Discovery Sunday... Two thumbs up. Entertaining, thought provoking, challenging. A must see." Mandell Berman The Discovery Sessions: • Failsafe - a series of workshops which employ the techniques of the Israeli Mosad to explore the Torah's origin. Anita Bogard addresses the panel. • The Hidden Codes of the Torah - a provocative presentation of the hidden codes discovered in the Torah through computer research. • The Seven Wonders of Jewish History - a fascin- ating look at the relationship between Jewish History and prophecy in the Torah. "A program like Discovery is a fundamental link in nsuring the survival of our heritage. There are so many of us who don't understand our history and therefore don't care. lfyou'll spend the day, your need to pre- serve Judaism will be rekindled." Larry Garon icans are not listening to." Mr. Gad-Harf said the Rev. Farrakhan's crusade scares the Jewish community. "Despite our affluence, securi- ty and achievement, what hap- pened to us in other lands can happen here," Mr. Gad-Harf said. "Within every Jew, there is a ghetto Jew who is sensitive to such remarks. We're fearful the African-American community could rise up and hurt us. rm try- ing to be blunt and this may seem ridiculous. In terms of Far- rakhan, the 10 percent of his message that is anti-Semitic makes the rest invalid." ❑ r Time and Place: December 16-January 15 Sunday, January, 15th 1995 Serb% December 24 'The Only Spot in Town Dance," 9 p.m. at the Maple/Drake Jewish Com- munity Center.
