Star-Spangled Banner.
Bearing the Israeli flag was Jeff
Kanagur of West Bloomfield. He
recently had volunteered on an Israeli
army base with a group of 33 other
young men from Hillel of
Metropolitan Detroit.
"I came here today to show not just
my solidarity, but my determination,"
Kanagur said. "Till my last day, they're
not going to take my land. I'm just as
determined as they are."
Don Cohen of West Bloomfield, an
independent Israel advocate and con-
sultant, worked with Salinger and
other local volunteers to organize sev-
eral other vigils in Oakland County
through July 21. The photographs
from the JCC vigil, which are part of
an ongoing "terrorism project" by Oak
Park artist Deanna Sperka, were dis-
played the following day at Temple
Emanu-El in Oak Park.
Other vigils were held in places sim-
ilar to those in Israel where the mur-
ders occurred — in the downtown
Royal Oak business district, at the bus
station in Southfield and at the Club
Deco discotheque in West Bloomfield.
Photos of the terror victims also were
displayed along Orchard Lake Road at
Holy Spirit Lutheran Church, across
from West Bloomfield High School.

"My congregants were all very sup-
portive; they were grateful to be able
to participate," said Pastor Bruce
Quatman of Holy Spirit.
Issac Grinberg of Orchard Lake and
48th District Judge Kimberly Small of
West Bloomfield were driving by the
church and stopped to view the photos.
"I'm truly moved that the church .
would do this," said Judge Small. "It
shows that this is an issue that crosses
cultural and religious lines."
"This takes it to a different level,"
Grinberg said. "It's not terrorism against
Jews; it's terror against humanity."
