Ties Of Friendship
American Arab and Jewish Friends build
relationships despite world turmoil.

n the evening of Sept. 11,
many Detroiters huddled in
front of their televisions,
hanging onto every word
about the day's terrorist attacks. -
But the annual membership meeting
of the American Arab and Jewish
Friends took place as scheduled, and it
was one of the best attended in the
group's 20-year history.
"There were so many heartfelt feel-
ings, and so many tears," said Ahmad
Ezzedine, one of the group's four co-
chairs. "That evening, we realized just
how strong the ties of friendship are
that bind us are."
Those same emotions brought more
than 300 people to the Detroit
Renaissance Center Marriott May 2
for the American Arab and Jewish
Friends' 16th annual awards and
scholarship dinner. A program of the
National Conference for Community
and Justice, the Friends promotes
friendship, understanding and respect
among southeast Michigan's Arab and
Jewish communities.
"People of good will have gathered to
affirm a bond that had been formed by
other people of good will a generation
ago," said Rabbi Ernst Conrad, rabbi
emeritus of Temple Kol Ami in West
Bloomfield, as he delivered HaMotzi,
the Jewish blessing over bread.
He praised the 12 teen winners of
the organization's essay scholarship
competition as "young people who
have dedicated themselves to cherish
truth, justice, patience and understand-
ing. They have learned to listen to each
other and not to make uninformed
decisions."
The essay competition involves much
more than simply putting thoughts on
paper. Since the start of the school year,
more than 75 high school juniors and
seniors from throughout metropolitan
Detroit met in teams of two or three to
learn about each other's religion and cul-
ture, and just to hang out together. The
teams, which were randomly formed to
match Jewish students with their Arab
Muslim and Christian counterparts, then
wrote essays about their experiences.
"We found out we weren't so differ-
ent after all," said Rachel Lubetsky,
18, of West Bloomfield.
Together with her partner, 18-year-
old Sanar Yaldo of Farmington Hills,
Lubetsky wrote about how they met,
the places they went and how they
changed. "Disregarding their cultural
differences and coming together by
choice in a world of chaos and
despair," they wrote, "two young girls
forget about judgment and disregard
what society might think, and join in
a lasting friendship."
Two of the scholarship award win-
ners, Perry Teicher, 17, of West
Bloomfield, and Sarah Atcho, 18, of
Ferndale also will represent the Friends
in a community art project. Along
with teen representatives of 19 other
community organizations, they will
design segments for a mosaic in honor
of diversity. The mosaic will be
