A

diverse group of 25 partici-
pants embarked on
Michigan's first
Grantmakers Mission to
Israel, hosted by the United Jewish •
Foundation of Metropolitan Detroit.
The mission was developed for
non-Jewish representatives of
Michigan-based institutions who are
past and current supporters of the
Jewish Federation of Metropolitan
Detroit and its constituent agencies.
The participants were educated about
Jewish philanthropy, the Jewish com-
munity and its ties to Israel and
Partnership 2000 (a cooperative busi-
ness, educational and cultural venture
between the state of Michigan and
Israel's Central Galilee region).
Invited to participate in the eight-
day-long mission were professionals
and trustees of community businesses
and charities that are already making
grants within Michigan, as well as UJF
officers and selected board members.
David Campbell, executive director
of the Detroit-based McGregor Fund,
which extends emergency human ser-
vices, called this, his first trip to Israel,
"an eye-opening experience, taking me
to a part of the world that always fas-
cinated me politically." A highlight for

Campbell, who is not Jewish, was a
special meeting of the group with for-
mer Israeli Prime Minister Shimon
Peres to learn about the Peres Center
for Peace. Campbell said he "felt very
honored at the opportunity to sit
down and talk privately with one of
the great leaders of peace in the 20th
century "
Jewish Federation Endowment
Director Joe Imberman, a mission par-
ticipant, explained that while in Israel,
the group toured the UJF-supported
FIDEL-Ethiopian Mediators Proglam
at Beit Berl College, outside of Tei
Aviv. There, a $75,000 UJF grant
check was presented to help preiY1 ,-
mediators to teach young Ethiopians to
become acculturated into Israeli socier
and especially into Israeli schools.
In addition to meeting with Israeli
philanthropists, participants visired the
Central Galilee. Representatives e
given the opportunity to tour Israel,
with their itinerary including a "float"
on the Dead Sea, a trip through the
Jewish and Christian Quarters of the
Old City of Jerusalem and an optional
visit to the Western Wall.
The mission was chaired by UJF
President Robert Slarkin and board
member Julie F. Cummings, director
