Israel have been sponsored by Machon
for the last 17, with funding from phi-
lanthropists in the area and around the
country.
"Machon's main objective is to recon-
nect Jewish students with their rich her-
itage," the rabbi said. "One of the best
ways to do that is to expose them to their
own history and to the philosophy that is
at the root of their history and inter-
twined with all the Jewish people's expe-
riences.
"So visiting the place of birth, our
place of origin, is extremely helpful in
really opening up the world of Jewish
thinking and values and attitudes right
there in the land of Israel."
Jaime Cohen, a recent U-M graduate
from Birmingham, had never participat-
ed in a program focused on Jewish study.
Students in her program at Neve
Yerushalayim participated in about seven
hours of class a day, with study topics
ranging from Mishnah to ethics and
addressed questions about Jewish law
and its origins.
In her free afternoons, she and friends
often slept, read or went into town, but
that is not what sticks most in her mind
when she thinks back to her time in
Israel, she said.
Though she enjoyed spending Shabbat
with families living near the school,
Cohen said her first Shabbat there, spent
with other students from Ann Arbor and
with Rabbi Jacobovitz, really stands out
in her mind.
Diverse Mix
Another highlight for Cohen was the
opportunity to learn with the diverse
group of students from around the world
in her program as well as the variety of
Jewish experiences she encountered.
"It's very traditional in Jerusalem and
non-traditional in other parts. I like the
whole mixture, it's really interesting to
see the mixture of the different kinds of
Jews," she said.
For Livny, the experience solidified her
interest in understanding more about
Judaism and tradition and how these
could play a larger role in their lives in
the future. During the program, she was
guided by people who really seemed to
know where she was coming from, she
said, and who offered explanations that
made sense to her.
"I had intended, when I came back to
America, to start following pretty much
every law that I could, but it turned out
to be a lot harder than I had hoped
because I live in a secular society," she
said. "So I'm taking things slowly and
I'm slowly implementing more religious
aspects into my life." E
