our Jewish and campus communities.
The very nature of Birthright Israel,
the innovation of Charles Bronfman
and Michael Steinhardt (chairman of
Jewish Renaissance Media, which pub-
lishes the Detroit Jewish News) is to
appeal to those who do not strongly
identify with their Judaism. The
prospect of a free trip is the incentive;
the challenge is to make the trip the ini-
tial spark for a life-long Jewish journey.
We believe that this year's Tri-Trip-
pin' program provided such a spark.
The proof, of course, will be known
over time, and hopefully will be
shaped by intensive follow-up on the
part of Hillel of Metro Detroit. The
journey has just begun.

COMMENTARY

ASSAD from page 33

ference between them was that while
Hussein killed 100,000 of his own
citizens in one month, Assad only
butchered 20,000 in Hama and that
Assad was not foolish enough to incur
the West's wrath by invading and
annexing a neighboring country.
But he knew what the waters could
handle. He took on the American
superpower in Lebanon and won, as
the U.S. beat a hasty retreat —
unable to sustain the casualties it was
encountering through the waves of
suicide attacks that Assad encouraged.
And if Assad grasped what the
West could accept, he had an even
better understanding of what the
Middle East could tolerate. In con-
trast to prior peacemakers Sadat and
Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin,
who were struck down by assassins '
bullets, Assad understood what Syria,
Israel and the Arab world could stom-
ach. This apparently did not include a
Golan Heights withdrawal to some-
where between the 1923 international
border and the June 4, 1967 line that
four Israeli prime ministers had
offered.
The Syrians, the Arabs, the West
— none of these will deny that Assad
was a cunning, ruthless man who
understood how to use the trappings
of power without exceeding his limits.
And that will be his lasting legacy. ❑

Bashar Assad, Hafez al-Assad's son, was
sworn in as Syrian president on July 17.
