Israel's natural and economic resources.
These might involve visiting sites with
an expert, he said.
For all, Federation will set up a host of
volunteer opportunities, from packing
meals at soup kitchens and fixing up
homes in terror-stricken areas, to
working with seniors and new immi-
grants and visiting the hospitalized
and homebound. Other examples
might be helping at-risk teenage girls
learn to care for themselves and pro-
viding sports clinics to young children
and teens — and possibly even volun-
teering on an army base.
Other volunteer ideas are welcome.
To prepare, mission goers will attend
orientation meetings and be able to
learn or brush up on conversational
Hebrew.

No matter where a participant goes with
the mission, security will be tight and on
every bus, said Alter. Most buses are
congregation based but organizations
like Hadassah, AIPAC and Federation's
Young Adult Division also are planning
a large number of participants.
Allan Nachman of Bloomfield Hills
said the feeling of community on the
mission is "wonderful." He's a former
Teen Mission chairman.
"When you get to meet people in the
community who you didn't know
before, you share some interesting expe-
riences," said Nachman. "When you
leave, you're all a cohesive community."
You will make friends in this commu-
nity in ways you can't even imagine, said
Lawrence Jackier, Federation president.
"You will feel so good about being
Jewish, about being in this community
and about having the opportunity to go
to Israel together, 800 strong."
