In an ongoing partnership with
the U-M Business School, the
Federation has sent MBA stu-
dents to the Central Galilee re-
gion to assist inventors in
marketing their inventions, most
notably a proctology device de-
veloped by a Russian proctologist
who needed help obtaining ven-
ture capital and penetrating the
U.S. market.
Another group of U-M students
traveled to Israel recently to as-
sist an agricultural company with
its finances, marketing and ad-
vertising.
Ms. Dorfman says there is talk
of presenting a seminar in Israel
by American businesspeople. In
turn, U-M business school stu-
dents are getting a taste of busi-
ness on the ground floor.
Mr. Aronson noted that a U-M
student who is working toward
his doctorate in natural resources
spent the past year in the Galilee
region, during which he discov-
ered a source of groundwater pol-
lution. The Federation and U-M
financed his trip.
`The university is a winner, the
Federation is a winner, the stu-
dent is a winner, and the region
is a winner," he says.
Partnership 2000 is also in
talks with Michigan State and
Wayne State universities about
joint programs in art manage-
ment and business, Mr. Aronson
says.
In the area of medicine, Part-
nership 2000 sent a group of Sinai
doctors to HaEmek Medical Cen-
ter in Israel late last year, and
brought a group of Israeli doctors
to Sinai in March to confer with
their doctors about combining re-
sources to combat hepatitis and
breast cancer and treat HIV/AIDS
patients.
Phillip Schaengold, Sinai Hos-
pital's president and CEO, says
the partnership has great educa-
tional potential and "clearly points
out you can build relationships
other than simply on an exchange
of cash."
As a result of the direct link be-
tween doctors, for example, Sinai
will be one of four U.S. clinical
testing sites for a breast cancer
detection device developed in Is-
rael. HaEmek is also sharing re-
search on the treatment of certain
medical disorders that are more
prevalent in the immigrant Russ-
ian population, and Sinai is help-
ing HaEmek implement capital
improvement projects.
Sinai and HaEmek are also dis-
cussing a resident-exchange pro-
gra.m.
"The concept of doing joint re-
search in breast cancer, education
for Ethiopians in the region who
have AIDS, the concept of a joint
program in Alzheimer's research,
the concept of developing a com-
puter software program that the
hospital in Israel has — each idea
requires intensive follow-up," Mr.
Aronson says. "We don't want to
have visits back and forth that
end up with no follow-through, be-
cause that is not productive."
Mr. Aronson, who travels to Is-
rael three times a year, antici-
pates he'll visit Israel more often
with the opening of the office, par-
ticularly when a Partnership 2000
program requires the presence of
a "top dog." ❑

s he stood clutching his 3-
year-old son in his arms, a
trio of teen-agers knocked
off his companion's black
hat, hurled a few profanities and
ran off when two bystanders
came over.
The 7:30 p.m. incident Satur-
day in the "deck park" over 1-696,
west of Greenfield and south of
Lincoln, left everybody shaken.
But it was by no means the first
incident of harassment in the
park, says the head of a neigh-
borhood association in the area.
According to one of the two vic-
tims, who asked to remain
unidentified, they were on their
way to Minchah services at Yeshi-
va Beth Yehudah with their sons.

"The people we were con-
fronted by were particularly
nasty. The fact they would do this
when I was walking with my 3-
year-old child makes me think
they don't hold to usual stan-
dards, even for thugs," said the
man. The victim of the assault,
whose teen-aged son was with
him during the incident, could
not be reached for comment.
Jerry Abraham, who was
also on his way to the synagogue,
said after he walked over, the
youths verbally threatened him
and then gave him a shove before
taking off
"I ignored it," he said. "Unfor-
