INTRODUCING...
Active women in Israel, like active
women in Michigan, are looking for
ways to increase involvement of others
so that the local communities and orga-
nizations can receive necessary assis-
tance.
Myth: America is principally a capi-
talist system where one cares only about
herself and her family.
Reality: Many people in Michigan
are volunteering in many ways to help
their communities. There are organiza-
tions that take care of people in differ-
ent ways and there is a high level of
commitment among young people in
the community.
Israelis who live on a kibbutz see
commitment to others as a way of life,
but the delegation did not expect to
find this kind of commitment to others
in Michigan.
Myth: American Jews have a deep
understanding about Israelis.
Reality: The Israeli delegation felt
that American Jews cannot see things
from an Israeli perspective because
Israelis have problems that affect their
very existence. Even visits to Israel do
not always sensitize American Jews who
are not able to take into account the
reality of the lives of Israelis without
having lived through these experiences
themselves. ,
In Women to Women, the partici-
pants learned that they are indeed con-
nected by sisterhood and by a -common
history and heritage. The Israeli delega-
tion in particular inspired the Michigan
women-by the level of love and affection
they share in spite of deep differences in
political philosophy and in the varying
levels of the practice of Jewish tradi-
tions.
The lack of tolerance and respect
Jews sometimes exhibit toward other
Jews was abhorrent to the Israeli
women's delegation. Rather, the women
in the Israeli delegation exhibited sensi-
tivity and caring toward each other in
spite of varied diversity of viewpoints
and philosophies.
At the moment, our newfound per-
sonal relationships have profoundly
affected us. We are looking for ways to
expand our experiences and positively
impact on the lives of Jews in both the
Galilee and Michigan.
We women hope that, in the future,
the close relationships and understand-
ing we developed will enable us to
establish programs which will benefit
both countries. Israel-American relation-
ships have changed since the founding
of the state 50 years ago, but programs
such as Partnership 2000 are addressing
this new relationship. O
