At Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, Jack Robinson lifts the spirits of an Israeli
teenager injured in the Ben Yehuda Street terrorist attack.
"Today all the people in the restaurant
were Americans who came on this mis-
sion. The economy is so bad that people
are just staying at home, watching TV.
The important and touching point is
your coming."
Daniel Cutler of the group was some-
what nonplussed with all the praise.
"People here are sacrificing so much,"
he said. "I am quite embarrassed that I
can earn any sense ofgavrut [manhood]
from. coming here and eating in restau-
rants for a few days.

Visiting The Victims
One of the most poignant moments of
the mission was when Jack Robinson
represented Detroit on a visit with sever-
al young Israelis Thursday at Hadassah
Hospital. They were among those
maimed and mangled in the Ben
Yehuda Street bombings. He immediate-
ly reported to the rest of the group on
his return.
"The doctor showed us the X-rays,"
Robinson said. "We could actually see
the metal nuts imbedded in the patients'
bones and body.
"We saw a young man, 17, with dam-
aged limbs. They expected that he
would recuperate and he would be able
to walk. He was in serious condition
and obviously quire sedated. But he was
able ro smile for us.
"The last patient we saw was very,
very disheartening," said Robinson. "It
was an unconscious young man, about
14, who had suffered brain damage. The
doctor said there was also a great deal of
intestinal damage and he's had surgery
"
every clay on various soft organs.
"It's hour-by-hour and day-by-day," he
said.
After The Mission
Other Detroit mission activities in
Jerusalem included visiting the "Lifelines
for the Old" senior craft center and
patronizing its gift shop. For the closing
dinner Thursday night, Israeli Minister
of Housing and Construction and
Deputy Prime Minister Natan
Sharanskv addressed all 500 on the mis-
sion.
Noting how vastly improved Jewish
conditions are since the days of the for-
mer Soviet Union, Sharanskv said he
remains an optimist about Israel's future.
Most of the Detroit group extended
their stay in Israel beyond the four-day
mission.
The entire Rosenberg family visited
Masada, with their guide cutting
through the West Bank to get there.
Rick Rosenhaus of Farmington Hills,
along with a friend, hired a guide with a
bulletproof aar to visit Jews living in
Hebron in the West Bank. Others stayed
in Jerusalem, returning to Detroit
Sunday morning.
On Thursday, the last day of the mis-
sion, the Detroiters met and promised
to bring their enthusiasm for Israel
home to the community Both tired and
invigorated by the whirlwind mission,
the 24 returned to Detroit \vial a new
perspective and a renewed commitment
to Israel.7
