The Detroit Friends of Bar-Ilan University announce that our annual
gala event will not take place this year. At a time when our dear friends on
campus are under such severe physical, psychological and financial
pressures, our event, however well intentioned, would be inconsistent with
Israel's current reality.

Our efforts on behalf of Israel and Bar-Ilan University will of course contin-
ue, and your support at this most challenging time is more important than
ever. Current friends of the University will have the opportunity to continue
their involvement, and new friends -- those who value Bar-Man's commitment
to academic and Judaic excellence -- will be warmly welcomed.

We thank you for your understanding and trust that next year we can once
again enjoy each others' company at our annual gala . We know that you join
us in our hope that the Jewish people, and especially our Israeli brethren, will
soon know the peace and tranquility for which we all continue to pray.
