"The children of all ages coming
,
out on the fun aay will have gotten
as much 'Israel' as 'fest,'" explained
Mark Myers, community shaliacli
(Israel emissary) with the Jewish
Federation of Metropolitan Detroit's
Michigan/Israel Connection office.
"Each spot has an informational
component with activities linked to
Israel. A flip card with the history of
each city will be available to relate
the information to each station."
Festivities will include two, 25-
minute segments of Israeli folk
dances and songs performed by
the Shachar Ensemble from Kiev,
a group of university students who
have studied music since early
childhood. On a six-city tour, the
ensemble is
coming to
United
States for
the first
time. It has
performed
in Ukraine,
Russia and
Israel.
The par-
ticipation of
the Ukrain-
ian Jewish
youth bring-
ing Israel
culture to
the celebration makes a great
deal of sense," Myers says.
"Shachar coming here reflects the
importance between Israel and the
Jewish community in need."
Local entertainer Ron Coden also
will be on the grounds with his
crew providing hand clapping,
foot-stomping sing-alongs for the
whole family, with songs like
"Tzena, Tzena, Tzena" and "Nava
Nagila."
Other event co-sponsors are the
Neighborhood Project, the Jewish
Community Center and the
Agency for Jewish Education's
Jewish Experiences for Families.
The rain site is the JCC's Jimmy
Prentis Morris Building which is
west of Temple Emanu-El.

Golan, the activities reflect the
I central message and mood of the
day: Israel is the headlines, and
having fun is the objective.
"The challenge for this year's
Israel Fest was to do something
'different than in years past," says
Allison Rabinovitz, staff associate
'for Michigan/Israel Connection.
'She's coordinating the festival
