He was hoping to make it home for the High Holy Days... now he's just hoping to make it home. NO MAN IS*AN ISLAND He's so close. Yet so far. With his family little more than a stone's throw away, the end to Middle East conflict seems to push further and further away. Everyday the men and women of the Israel Defense Forces risk their lives for freedom and peace. Fighting for their families, their homeland and their future, this is one war that cannot be lost. Now, amid the struggle they face, we can offer additional hope and support. Please join us as Michigan Friends of the IDF hosts its annual Solidarity Benefit to honor and support the brave young men and women of the IDF. Help us help the Israel Defense Forces. Help our soldiers get home. - 721 fi 7111AN:11 0 t • 0 /, bmirris ISRAEL S OE Michigan Friends of the Israel Defense Forces 7th Annual Solidarity Dinner October 16, 2003, 6:00 PM Congregation Shaarey Zedek Southfield, Michigan Co-Honorary Chairs Dinner Chairs Marcia & Eugene Applebaum The Honorable Amy Hathaway-Groner & Lois & The Honorable Avern Cohn The Honorable David Groner Ann Newman Dr. Joel Groner Doreen Hermelin Shari & Alon Kaufman Malke & Gary Torgow Lisa & Gary Shiffman Honoree Rabbi Irwin Groner 10/ 3 2003 32 Donor tickets: $180 per person (Includes dinner and program) For ticket and sponsorship information please call (248) 203-2060 Michigan Friends of the IDF • PO BOX 999 • WALLED LAKE, MI 48390 Guest Speaker Ambassador Alon Pinkas
