completely on our own:' said Parritz.
"We want to be as efficient and as effec-
tive as possible, but we also want to be
as student-run as possible"
Gribov hopes that student volunteers
will be able to handle Tamid's account-
ing and taxes. "It's a lot of responsibil-
ity," he said, "but we want the students
to have as large a role as we can" Three
U-M Business School professors — all
Israelis — are advising Tamid.
The three student leaders are hoping
to have a structure in place by fall, with
a goal of soliciting $1 million in dona-
tions by Jan. 1 from national donors
and U-M students. In time, their goal is
to spread the word to other campuses
across the United States.
Birthright Israel, the 10-day free trips
available to 18-26-year-old American
Jews, "revolutionized how U.S. college
students see Israel:' said Parritz."But:'
added Ingall, "two weeks afterward,
then what?
"This [Tamid] would be day-to-day
engagement with the country and what
makes it tick"
All three U-M undergrads will be
working on different programs in Israel
this summer. Ingall, who just completed
his sophomore year in economics,
political science and psychology, will be
working at a policy center.
He also will try to assemble an
Israeli policy board for Tamid. At
U-M, he is president of Israel IDEA
(Initiative for Dialogue, Education and
Advocacy).
Gribov just completed his sopho-
more year in business and finance,
and chairs the U-M chapter of
American Movement for Israel. Parritz
completed his junior year in organi-
zational studies and public policy. He
is president of U-M's Alpha Epsilon
Pi chapter and was voted by U-M's
fraternity/sorority system as the most
effective fraternity president on cam-
pus this year.
The three plan to remain in contact
this summer via e-mail and tele-
phone calls. Their goal: To create an
organization that is stable, sustain-
able, risk-adverse and around for the
long run.
Said Gribov, "Ten years from now,
we hope there will be groups like
Tamid all across the country. For the
rest of their lives, Jewish students can
be invested both literally and figura-
tively in Israel."

As a result of the release of millions
of heretofore unattainable Holocaust
records archived at Bad Arsolen,
Germany, the Holocaust Memorial
Center Zekehnan Family Campus
in Farmington Hills is spearhead-
ing a campaign to secure answers for
Holocaust survivors
and their families
regarding loved ones
missing since the
Holocaust.
Linda Cauthen
Klein of the
American Red Cross
Holocaust and War
Linda Klein
Victims Tracing
Center will speak at the HMC on
Sunday, May 18, at 11 a.m. Her topic
will be "Reconnecting Lives: Tracing
and Documentation Services of the
American Red Cross Holocaust and
War Victims Tracing Center."
The Tracing Center is a national
clearinghouse for persons seeking the
fates of loved ones missing since the
Holocaust. It also assists those search-
ing for proof of internment, forced/
slave labor, or evacuation from former
Soviet Territories.
Klein assists survivors and their
families in learning which Holocaust
records exist, obtaining official docu-
mentation of their own records, finding
out what happened to lost loved ones
and initiating a search for missing
persons.
Under the leadership of Donna
Sklar, docent at the museum and Feiga
Weiss, the organization's librarian, the
HMC has galvanized and trained a
group of volunteers who stand ready
to help with the necessary paperwork.
Applicants should bring any documen-
tation derived from previous searches.
There is no charge for Klein's presen-
tation or for the services offered, but
advance registration is required.
To register for the May 18 event,
call (248) 553-2400, ext. 25, or e-mail
names and phone numbers to info@
holocaustcenter.org .
For information, contact Feiga Weiss,
(248) 553-2834. Those unable to attend
the May 18 event but wishing to initi-
ate a search may pick-up application
forms now at the HMCZFC's library.
