14th Annual Samuel M. Levin
Economics Award Lecture

Stephanie Dorfman, Mike Skoczylas and
Pam Goldfaden, all of West Bloomfield,
make posters.

A group of teenagers displayed their
messages of "Peace for Israel" and
"Stop Suicide Bombers" at the corner
of 14 Mile and Orchard Lake roads in
West Bloomfield. "We feel it's really
important for the whole community,
especially the teen-age community, to
show our support for Israel," said Pam
Goldfaden, 18, of West Bloomfield.
"It's ironic that all of this is happen-
ing right around Pesach," said Mike
Skoczylas, 17, of West Bloomfield,
"because the Haggadah says that in
every generation someone rises up to
try and stop the Jews, and that God
always helps us. It's our job now to get
together and give God a good reason
to help us — to show the world that
we are united in Israel, in New York
and here in Detroit."
Although a few of the passing
motorists shouted negative comments
as they drove by, for the most part,
demonstrators at all locations were
greeted with honking horns and raised
thumbs.
Don Cohen was pleased with the
turnout, and with the positive
response from the community. "A man
was out speed-walking; he saw us,
grabbed a sign and joined us," said
Cohen, whose group worked the cor-
ner of Maple and Telegraph in
Bloomfield Township.
More demonstrations are planned,
with the next scheduled for April 11,
the seven-month anniversary of the
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on America.
And other plans are being considered.
"We will explore other ways to
deliver a resolute, but mainstream
message in ways that are not necessari-
ly mainstream," Cohen said. ❑
