Rabbi Herbert Yoskowitz of Adat Shalom Synagogue spoke to the 33 teens and' many of their parents at the kickoff meeting to the 2002 Teen Mission to Israel. "Visiting Israel and seeing your other home is a precious gift," he said at the Jan. 27 get-together at the Max M. Fisher Federation Building in Bloomfield Township. The evening began with an Israeli din- ner that included falafel and halavah. Guests then asked questions about the trip.

It will be a good experience, although I am a lit- tle nervous. I know the organizers of the trip will not let anything bad happen to us." Ben Chudnow, 16, of West Bloomfield, will be visiting Israel for the third time. "When I went to Israel eight years ago," the Congregation Shaarey Tzedek member said, "they were having the same problems.
