ixty-two metro Detroit
teenagers headed off to Los
Angeles Feb. 12-16 for the
biennial North American
Federation of Temple Youth
(NFTY) National Convention.
Students from 11 Michigan
temples were represented,
including Temples Israel, Beth
El, Shir Tikvah and Shir
Shalom. They joined 1,500
Jewish youth from 20 regions
throughout North America. The
teens got together to elect a new
national board, attend work-
shops, and have a- good time.
Michigan regional president
and Temple Beth El member
Megan Harris-Linton, a senior
at Birmingham Groves, said
she was "so proud of the
Michigan region
— we really stood
out. When we
walked off the
plane we were all
wearing matching
Michigan NFTY
(in Hebrew)
shirts."
Each region was
required to send
four voting dele-
gates from its
regional board;
non-delegate mem-
bers were also wel-
come.
Most of
Michigan's repre-
sentatives, includ-
ing West
Bloomfield High
School senior Mike Stoller of Temple
Israel, found the number of people at
the event "overwhelming. It was very
cool to be recognized by so many
other Jewish youth as a leader in my
community." He serves as program-
ming vice president.

amazing."
