he cold rain on Sunday's Michigan
Stands With Israel Rally at Temple
Emanu-El in Oak Park seemed almost
preordained. The weather was miserable, but,
in many ways, it united the 1,000 hardy souls
who turned out.
One of the speakers was Judith Yovel
Recanati, co-founder of NATAL: The Israel
Trauma Center for Victims of Terror and
War, in Tel Aviv. The Center is one of the
programs assisted by Detroit Jewry's $5.3-mil-
lion Israel Emergency Campaign.
She reminded the crowd that the emotional
scars from the latest Palestinian uprising will
linger long after the violence ends.
"Together," she said, "we are partners in our
efforts to ease the pain of so many Israelis
who are still paying the price for a free and
independent Jewish state."

Shabbat shalom!
