SUBARU® KEEP IT SIMPLE SALE DIGGING page 12 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." ❑ Punks Harass Pedestrians Two Southfield men accosted on their way to shul were not the first victims of harassment in an 1-696 deck park.

J 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. A "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.
