Reverand said it was "eerie" that the Ivlossad agent, who was involved in killing terrorists involved in the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre, said,"We operated according to instructions. It was enough to be told that they were killing Israelis. In a unit like ours, you don't ask questions." Reverand commented: "We were only following orders — hearing that from an Israeli operative is no small measure of irony" —referring, as your reporter noted, "to the defense repeatedly cited by Nazi soldiers?' While it is true that Adolf Eichmann made notorious the phrase "only follow- ing orders',' that does not mean anyone who ever follows orders is somehow comparable to the Nazis. The "following, orders" defense used by some war crim- inals is rejected by reasonable people because of the assumption that a person should be able to distinguish between moral orders and immoral orders — and should not follow the latter. But that is not applicable to the case of this Mossad agent, because there is no basis for a comparison between Nazis involved in the mass murder of innocent civilians and Israeli agents striking at mass murderers. To compare the two trivializes the Holocaust and under- mines efforts to educate the public about the real nature of Hitler, Nazi Germany and the mass murder of six million European Jews. unequipped to make the important decisions concerning my future that one has make at college. Now, at Michigan State University, I am majoring in inter- national relations with a focus on Middle Eastern studies. Going on Nativ enhanced my life in more ways than I can articulate. While initially tentative to spend a year in Israel, I now cannot imagine my life without that year of fas- cinating experiences and self-discovery. I wholeheartedly plan on strengthening my connection to the land of Israel when I return there for my junior year.

Your excellent coverage of this event will hopefully help the plight of so many in our community. There are 1,300 homeless people in Oakland County alone and many more living below the poverty line. They are in need of food, clothing and job opportunities. We all must be involved in searching for ways to assist these individuals. We applaud the IN for helping to make a difference.

I want to lend my support to Jewish Academy of Metropolitan Detroit Rabbi Lee Buckman's call for more college-age students to spend an extended period of time in Israel ("A New Communal Norm," Feb. 23, page 36). Between my senior year in high school and my first year in college, I went on a program called Nativ. Nativ is a 10-month-long program, run by United Synagogue Youth, which focuses on studies, community living, traveling, volunteering and leadership training while simultaneously embrac- ing a Conservative Jewish lifestyle. Unlike a short-term visit to Israel where one can only begin to scratch the sur- face of what Israel is really about, an extended trip allows one to become entirely immersed in Israeli culture and experience the land as a participating member, rather than just a tourist. I decided to go on Nativ because I felt Corrections • In "Circle Of Friends" (Feb. 16, page 12), Karen Adams of Walled Lake was inadvertently left off the list of Jewish honorees at the fund-raising lunch- eon of the Pontiac-based Child Abuse and Neglect Council of Oakland County. • A photo identified as Donald Fagen in the "Celebrity Jews" column of Feb. 23 (page 41) is actually a photo of his Steely Dan partner, Walter Becker.
