and the approach seems to be working.
Matt Sosin of Franklin said his
involvement has been mostly about
money, but his wife, Julie, was part of
YAD.
"I made this financial commitment,
and I felt that I should make a commit-
ment to understanding what Federation
does and how they do it," he said. "The
Class of a Million appears to [want] to
be leaders of Detroit for the next gen-
eration, and I would like to be a part of
that."
A Graduating Class Mission to Israel
in October, underwritten by Lauren and
William Fisher for those students who
have donated $10,000, already has sold
out with 24 participants.
And the 17-hour Washington trip,
underwritten by the Blumenstein
Family Young Adult Mission Fund, had
74 participants.

D.C. And Beyond
The D.C. trip began with a 90-minute
tour of the Holocaust museum, fol-
lowed by lunch at the National Press
Club.
William Daroff, Washington's director
of the Federation's umbrella organiza-
tion United Jewish Communities, spoke
of the UJC's role in Washington politics.
Dr. Gregg Rickman, recently named by
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as
the first special envoy for monitoring
and combating anti-Semitism around
the world, spoke of his difficult job.
Their speeches, and every following
speech that day, were strictly off the
record.
Lunch was followed by a trip to the
Sixth and I Historic Synagogue, where
the Class heard FEMA representa-
tive Berl Jones and UJC senior vice-
president Barry Swartz speak about
Hurricane Katrina.
AIPAC Deputy Director Jeff Colman
spoke about Hamas and Iran and gave

Josh Opperer

Rachel Opperer
and evening
speaker
Dan Senor at the
Oval Room.

an update on the developing situation
in Lebanon.
Dinner was held at the Oval Room,
two blocks from the White House. Dan
Senor, previously an aide to former
U.S. Sen. Spencer Abraham and senior
adviser to the Iraq Coalition Provisional
Authority, spoke of his 15-month expe-
rience in Iraq.
The Class returned to Detroit at 10:30
p.m., and the classmates were tired, but
happy.
Gershon Askenazy of Detroit said he
would use his Washington experience
to get more people involved at all levels
of commitment.
"What it allows me to do first thing
is to bring one or two big things back to
Detroit, more stories, more ammunition
to tell friends and families because we
can't do it alone',' he said.
Jill Menuck of Birmingham heard
about the Class last summer. She's been
involved with Federation for five years.
"There's been people here who have
never been on a trip with Federation','
she said. "What's so incredible about
this is that it's inclusive and welcoming.
All the people here are like-minded.
People [were] sitting around ... sharing
common interests, talking about the
Holocaust, about our roots."
Lea Narens of Bloomfield Hills, co-
chair of the Washington trip with Robb
Lippitt, also of Bloomfield Hills, joined
up because "it was a unique program
with strong potential for Federation:'
she said."When my husband [Bill]
and I got involved, it wasn't just joining
another charity or group, it was actually
joining our friends in a mission that
was going to last."
Lippitt wasn't surprised at the
response.
"I think there's a lot of interest in
becoming involved and it's a great way
to give back and people are always try-
ing to find outlets: I think we've tapped
into something here." El
