An Uplifting Atmosphere
"From the time I was a student there until today, I have found it to be a terrific
combination of human warmth and academic excellence," says Les Goldstein,
who studied at Bar-Ilan and has been the executive director of the Midwest
Friends of Bar-Ilan University for 25 years.
"There was an uplifting
atmosphere after the 1967
War that made me want to
go," recalls Goldstein, who
spent a year in Israel and,
upon graduating from the
University of Michigan in
1970, went back to Israel for
six years. He worked as a state
social worker, did graduate
work at Bar-Ilan, got married
in 1973 to Dora Harrar, who
had come to Israel from
Morocco, and then served two
years in the Israeli army.
Back in Michigan in 1976,
he worked for three years rais-
ing money for B'nai B'rith
youth programs before getting
a call in 1979 from Phillip
Stollman, asking him to come
Les Goldstein
to work for Bar-Ilan.
"It was pretty flattering,"
recalls Goldstein, whose Midwest office is one of four nationwide and raises
about $3 million annually, the vast majority coming from Detroit, Chicago and
Cleveland. For the past year, Dena Raminick has worked with him as the
Midwest office's associate director.
"The work is fascinating," says Goldstein. "Who is going to be charitable?
Good and terrific people who want to make an impact. Working with those
kind of people makes your workday a lot more enjoyable and challenging. It's
been a real pleasure and privilege to have a full-time position that strengthens
the State of Israel."

Unique Program Attracts Poet
Risa Lichtman has been studying at Bar-Ilan University for two years, working
towards her master's degree in English. Lichtman, whose parents Rene and
Cathy live in West Bloomfield, was drawn to Bar-Ilan because it is the only uni-
versity in Israel to offer an English-speaking creative writing program.
"It's a unique program because it was originally
meant for Anglos [those from English-speaking coun-
tries] from abroad to come and study creative writing
in Israel, but because of the political situation it has
mostly appealed to Anglos who already live in Israel,"
she says.
"It is the first chance for there to be a collective
`immigrant' voice, a telling of the story of moving from
America to Israel, or living in Israel for a few years as
an Anglo," says Lichtman, a poet. "I believe that this is
an important story to be told."
Lichtman, who made aliyah last year, also works at
Bar-Ilan as the assistant editor of Common Knowledge,
an award-winning academic journal.
