sunset, like a final farewell, signals a change in
our lives. Inevitably, however, night gives way to
day and we must accept this change. For over 50
years, THE IRA KAUFMAN CHAPEL has served the
Detroit Jewish Community with dedication.

THE KAUFMAN COMMUNITY CORNER
To the 238 members of the
Miracle Mission for Teens:

WELCOME HOME!

And, to the organizers of this
extraordinary Israel experience:

YASHER KOACH!

No other community in America could have pulled off this
5-week odyssey of learning, fun and self-awareness. The
experience will help shape the identity of the participants and
strengthen our community for the future.

We salute the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit, its
agencies and the generous donors who made this trip possible.
