our obligation
to the Jewish
community in
Israel, that it
never feel isolat-
ed. We must
back up our
thoughts with
actions — pub-
lic lobbying and
visits to the
Rabbi Goldberg
Holy Land."
The Sunday
afternoon of information and hands-on
activities will be presented by the Anti-
Defamation League, American Jewish
Committee, Jewish Community
Council and Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit.
Guest speakers, a workshop and
other activities are planned, along with a
session on the Michigan Unity Mission
led by Israel tour planner Tzvika Gerstel.
Growing
A broad-based representation of congre-
gations, organizations and communal
agencies has expressed its full support of
the Michigan Unity Mission to Israel.
Penny Blumenstein, president of the
Jewish Federation of Metropolitan
Detroit, who is leading the mission with
associate chairs Dr. Richard Krugel and
Marta Rosenthal, said that nearly 50
organizations have signed on.
Several outstare communities, includ-
ing Ann Arbor, Flint and Grand Rapids,
as well as Toledo and Windsor, also are
sending representatives on the mission.
As of Nov. 24, more than 160 individu-
als had requested applications.
The cost of $999 per person (double
occupancy) includes round-trip airfare
direct from Detroit via El Al, as well as
hotel, all meals and transportation in
Israel.
Participants in the five-day trip will
spend three days in Jerusalem and one
day in the central Galilee, Michigan's
Partnership 2000 region. They will get
Israel's perspective of the issues from
government and military officials. There
will be no solicitation of funds.
Blumenstein said participants will
have "family time," an opportunity to
visit with family members who live there
— part of the people-to-people connec-
tion that will be emphasized on the trip.
She added, "We'll make time to shop.
Our dollars are needed to help Israel's
tourism industry"
