Israel, part of our minds and part of our souls, came alive for the nearly 600 Metro Detroiters who participated in the recent Federation Miracle Mission 4, April 18-28. Among them were 15 BBYO advisors and staff, some of whom were visiting the Jewish State for the first time. The Advisor/Staff Mission was made possible through a contribution from the Blumenstein Family Young Adult Mission Fund and through the Oscar and 4 0 0 Jeanette Cook Endowment of BBYO. Under the bus leadership of Michael and Barbara Horowitz (our Board Vice-Chair) and Mitch and Nancy Kanter, our happy group of 40 experienced Israel as never before, making many new friends and sharing unique experiences. Now the challenge is to bring it all back to the youth whom we serve to encourage more of them to make an Israel trip part of their personal story! 0 0 0
