"So I did, the next year."
The course she took was "Israeli
Society and Politics," one that Dr.
Gitelman teaches every year. He'll be her
teacher again this coming year, in his
"Introduction to Methods and Topics in
Judaic Studies" class. In addition, she'll
take "Jewish Political Thought and
Experiences: Eastern Europe, America,
and Israel" with Dr. Endelman and
"Reading the Rabbis," which consists of
the entire Mishnah and Tosefta (translat-
ed as "supplement," a book of biblical
commentary).
"My choice to go into Jewish educa-
tion is not only motivated by my pas-
sion for Judaism and for children, but
by the desire to give back to the corn-
munity I grew up in," said Gaba, who
likely will stay in Michigan.
"I thought of law school, but I'm not
passionate or excited about it."
A classmate of Gaba's both at Hillel
Day School and U-M was David Livshiz
of Southfield, This year, he heads for
New York University Law School. His
long-range plans include a degree in
international law, which he'll use to
work on the Arab-Israeli conflict.
At U-M, Livshiz minored in Judaic
Studies. His senior thesis, written under
the supervision of Dr. Gitelman, was
titled "Jewish Self-Identity in the
Russian Army During World War II."
"One of the things that really
impressed me was the academic rigor of
the Jewish Studies courses," said Livshiz,
who was active in Israel advocacy on the
U-M campus. "It's the quality of the
instructors that attracts people."
Not only Jewish people take courses
through the Frankel Center, he said.
"In Dr. Endleman's 'Modern Jewish
History 1800s to the Present,' the head
of the organization of Christian students
on campus was in my class.
"My only regret is I graduated too
soon," Livshiz said. "With some of the
courses Dr. Gitelman is offering next
year, I wish I'd stuck around another
semester."
Livshiz said Drs. Gitelman and
Endelman were among the four best
professors he had in college.
"My going to the University of
Michigan had nothing to do with Jewish
studies, but my experience in the Jewish
Studies program is largely what made
my U-M experience worthwhile," he
said.
"The way they teach has greatly influ-
enced my development as an intellectu-
al. They steadfastly refuse to use the
department as a political soapbox. For
example, in classes dealing with the
Arab-Israeli conflict, they are careful to
present both sides."
