I F N tV F I\A A. \frovnr.Nrm Student Delegates Visit Israel Twenty students from the Detroit area will spend 10 days on a free trip to Israel from Dec. 30 to Jan. 10. As part of an effort to address the identity crisis among American Jewry, Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life, in partnership with Birthright Israel, is bringing 3,000 students from across the United States to Israel during winter break. Hillel's Israel 2000 program offers Jewish col- lege students who have never been on a group tour to Israel the chance to visit the country free of charge. The following MSU students will take part: Joshua Berris, graduate, Franklin; Joseph Bigelman, junior, Farmington Hills; Jamie Burnstein, senior, West Bloomfield; Dana Eisenberg, freshman, Farmington Hills; Lavie Goldenberg, freshman, Farmington Hills; Lindsay Halpern, sophomore, Bloomfield Hills; Michael Koffron, senior, Farmington Hills; Matthew Leebove, junior, West Bloomfield. Also, Michael Liefer, junior, Farmington Hills; Jeremy Ogusky, graduate, Bloomfield Hills; Robert Rose, senior, West Bloomfield; Stacy Rothenberg, senior, Farmington Hills; Robert Sadoff, senior, Waterford; Heather Silecchia, fresh- man, Bloomfield Hills; Leon Weberman, sophomore, West Bloomfield; Lora Weberman, senior, West Bloomfield; Jodi Weiss, senior, Farmington Hills; Tracy Weiss, junior, Bloomfield Hills; and Rachel Wright, sophomore, West Bloomfield. Jewish community leaders have long believed that a visit to Israel can provide students with a strong impe- tus to explore and expand their Jewish identity. "Charles Bronfman and Michael Steinhardt, the creators of this pro- gram, understand that an Israel expe- rience is an essential point in the continuum of Jewish education," said Hillel president and international director Richard Joel. "The trip will strengthen the Jewish identity of young people and the communities they form on campus and after grad- uation." During the course of their stay, students will visit historic sites and experience contemporary Israeli soci- ety. They will perform community service, meet Israeli peers and exam- ine political and social issues. In nichem WE'VE CUT ALL THE BIG NAMES IN HALF!
