we can win, but we should fight the
fights we must fight. Nietzsche said,
"What doesn't kill us will make us

There are only two races of people
on earth, decent and indecent. We
have a social contract to respect all
decent people. We have a social con-
tract to fight the consequences of
excessive inequalities in wealth and

Hillel Gets
Recognition

I wanted to thank Arthur Horwitz
and The Jewish News on the editorial
on one of the community's best kept
secrets — the Hillels on Michigan
campuses ("Looking For An
Enthusiastic Engagement" Aug. 29).
Mr. Horwitz focused on the Jewish
Campus Service Corps program
(Steinhardt Fellowship program) spon-
sored by Hillel International. It cap-
\ tured an aspect of a very dynamic and
increasingly present college carripus
;activity. The Hillel Foundations cur-
rently serve about 10,000 of our
Michigan Jewish youth and from all
accounts the number is growing every
• ar.
College is a critical time for many
young adults who are at a crossroads
and making important decisions about
• "heir lives. The opportunity to con-
college students with their Jewish
• heritage during their formative years is
extremely important and we are excit-
ed to have Hillel International's sup-
L port on our Michigan campuses.
With the support of the Jewish
Federation of Metropolitan Detroit
and other federations throughout the
state, the Hillels on Michigan campus-
es have extremely competent-profes-
sionals who are connecting our college
students with Jewish life. Although
not all the campuses have Steinhardt
fellows, they each have program direc-
tors who are active on the en a e-
--
;dent of our Jewish youth.
Besides those mentioned in the
Horwitz article, Taron Tachman is the
Hillel Campus services director at

Eastern Michigan University; he can
be reached at (313) 487-1855 and his
e-mail address is hillel@emunix.emich
.edu . If your son or daughter is
attending any of the schools in the
Metro Detroit area, please give his or
her name to Sharon Wise, program
director at Hillel of Metro Detroit;
(313) 577-3459;
hillel@cms.cc.wayne.edu .
The word is out; Hillel is in.

accept it, but I worry that it will one
day hurt Israel.
There's a region there. There are
important common issues, especially
when it comes to water and the envi-
ronment. Israel is a country of techno-
logical wizardry. Palestinian children,
though, need opportunities to learn
and prosper as do Jordanians,
Egyptians and Israelis.
This too is probably a pipe dream.

do. Nobody should mention the word
"Oslo" now
These two need to behave. They
need to get Secretary Albright back
into the arena.
As for me, I'll keep talking to my
friends. My right-wing friends suspect
I'm too liberal. My left-wing friends
claim I'm a closet right-winger.
I don't know who I am, and I sus-
pect that many Jews who love Israel
don't know either.
I do know, though, that I'm tired of
the deaths and I'm bored with the
buffoons who are leading us some-
where I don't think we want to be.
I don't know about you, and you
can turn me off now if you want, but
I'm turning this one over to God. I'm
prayitigor the answer. God isnt
right-wing or left-wing.
I'm going to become a fanatic and
ask God to intervene. The Middle
East is beyond shuttle diplomacy.
We need help. Because up till now
our faith in the peace process was
invested in mere men. One of those
men is Arafat, and that hasn't gotten
much of anything done.

No premium for basic coverage; premium of
only $30 per month for basic coverage plus
prescription, vision and hearing benefits

and 39 hospitals right in the community
