Sizing Up The Plan

n the heels of President George. W.
Bush's bold peace plan for the
embattled Middle East, Detroit
Jewry joined the chorus of Jews
from around the country and in Israel
checking in with their reaction.
Feedback from Detroit and Israel begins
on page 18. National feedback appears on
page 22. Our editorial opinion is on page
27.
Reader feedback is always welcome.
Meanwhile, please remember Israel in
your prayers this Shabbat, as always. Any
peace plan, no matter how promising, will
take years to take root.
