Some are returning to the States for summer jobs; others will travel abroad, visiting the hometowns of new friends made this year. The majority are look- ing forward to the fall, when they will begin a new chapter of their lives in colleges across the United States. A select group, however, have cho- sen a different option: to stay in Israel beyond this year. Take Mayer Winkler, for example. A graduate of Yeshivat Akiva in Southfield, he is 20 and studied the past two years at Yeshivat Har Etzion in the Gush, a region in the West Bank south of Jerusalem. Starting this fall, he will serve in the Israeli army through the Machal program, which allows young men from outside Israel who have completed at least one year of education in an Israeli yeshivah pro- gram to contribute their time and strength to the Israel Defense Forces through nine months of volunteer army service with Israeli peers. "Wherever they send the [Israeli] guys from my yeshivah, I'll be going," said Winkler. He chose this path for a number of reasons. "First, the ideological: I want to defend my homeland — Israel. Secondly, I want to make aliyah, so this will make my army time when I do [immigrate] shorter." Though uncertain as to whether he will attend college in Israel after Rachel Kohn of West Bloomfield, a 2002 graduate of Yeshivat Akiva in Southfield, is studying at Michlelet Orot this school year.
