Exceptional Senior Living
means an exceptional lifestyle
member of the planning committee
for the movement's new nine-session,
two-year course, aimed at both 11th
and 12th graders who plan to go to
college and those who do not.
"Hopefully it will smooth that
transition for both child and parent,"
said Chekan, North American
Federation of Temple Youth Michigan
regional director. "[The program's]
"Personal Jewish Action Plan" can
help solidify a young person's view of
Reform Judaism and what they want
for themselves as they embark on the
next phase of their life."
Rabbi Klein, who already e-mails his
synagogue's college students about issues
of Jewish identity and opportunities
universities offer for Jewish enrichment,
will begin to incorporate "Packing for
College" information as well.
"We're a little ahead of the game at
Temple Israel," Rabbi Bennett said of
similar programming already in place
there. "But I love the idea of the
Union putting a curriculum together
for high school students to continue
practicing and engaging in Judaism
while in college."

Lubavitch Outreach
Seeking inspiration for this work,
Rabbi Yoffie looked toward the
Orthodox Chabad-Lubavitch
Chasidic movement, which has built
outposts throughout the world.
"It is hard for me to say this, but I
will say it nonetheless: We must fol-
low the example of Chabad," he said.
He said he disagrees with Chabad
about practically everything, especially
its messianic fervor. "But I envy the
selflessness of their young men and
women who fan out across the world
to serve Jewish communities in dis-
tress," he said.
Chaken said: "We must reach those
who are not coming to temple on a
regular basis. College age kids need to
be reached as do those in their 20s
and 30s — married or not, and most
likely without children."
Proof that young adults have an
interest in attending synagogue servic-
es is seen in the success of the new
community-wide Shabbat Unplugged,
which brought 800 participants to its
first two alternative, musical services
at Temple Israel.
Rabbi Yoffie also called on Reform
Jews to rebuild the bridges they have
forged with non-Jews as a path to
fighting -anti-Semitism and promoting
Middle East peace.
