tudents gathered in a freezing
drizzle on the University of
Michigan Diag on Saturday
night to pray for Israeli Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon.
Sharon suffered a significant stroke
last week and remained hospitalized
at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem this
week.
The 25 vigil attendees prayed "to
inspire the minds and guide the hands
of the doctors and caregivers so that
they will lead him back along the path
to wholeness and well being',' said
Perry Teicher, chair of U-M Hillel.
"This vigil is not in memory of
Ariel Sharon, but in hopes of his
recovery,' Teicher said.
Prayers were also said for Acting
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, for the
rest of the Israeli government and for
the people of Israel.
Some students said they believe
Sharon's illness will make Israel's con-
tinuing peace process more difficult.
"It's going to be a much more tumul-
tuous time now," said Alana Kuhn of
West Bloomfield, political chair of the

American Movement for Israel.
Sharon's health is "necessary for the
continuum of talks and the move
toward peace said Rabbi Jason Miller,
associate director of U-M Hillel.
Rama Salhi, a member of the pro-
Palestinian group Students Allied for
Freedom and Equality, said she thinks
Sharon's health crisis won't have a sig-
nificant impact on the Middle East.
"I don't think that things will
change very much because it isn't so
much [Sharon's] existence, but the
existence of his mentality that mat-
ters," Salhi said.
Rabbi Miller said it was important o
bring Jewish students together in
prayer and in support for one another.
"It's a vigil in [ Sharon's] honor and
memory — not memory, hopefully,'
Kuhn said. "It serves to bring together
the campus community, under a unit-
ed goal." ❑
