cohesiveness of the Jewish community.
An equal mix of men and women
from age 26 to 39, the Detroit group
was comprised of committed, young
Jewish professionals. Todd Franklin,
38 of Huntington Woods, a private
equity financier, said that the program
appealed to him because of its grass-
roots nature and believes American
Jews have much to learn and give back
to the diaspora.
"The trip did bring clarity to how
my efforts to give back are best spent:'
Franklin said. "I look forward to this
program's ongoing success and being
an intricate part for some time to
come."
Ilana Liss, 27 of Birmingham, a
client adviser at Schechter Wealth
Strategies, sits on Federation's YAD
board and is active within the Detroit
Jewish community. It was precisely the
opportunity to see how a struggling
Jewish community could better serve
its citizens that drew her to partici-
pate.
"I was interested in seeing how
other Jewish communities compare
to ours, specifically for young adults,"

Liss said. "I was interested in learned
how Jews live in Eastern Europe today."
Second-year law student and execu-
tive director of the non-profit program
Summer in the City, Ben Falik, 26, of
Huntington Woods, said the experi-
ence was eye-opening in terms of how
the rule of the USSR affected residents
of Kiev.
"I learned that decades of com-
munism have cast a long shadow
over the former Soviet Union," Falik
said. "Things are changing fast there
but the people are products of their
upbringing and countries can't rewrite
history."
Gil Feldman, 31 of Huntington
Woods, an investment analyst at
Pappas Financial in Farmington Hills,
summed up the collective experience.
"That despite our differences, we are
all Jews and all responsible for each
other;' he said, adding, "It is, therefore,
our responsibility to make sure the
Jewish community [in Kiev] grows
and matures so that perhaps it can one
day regain its place as a leading Jewish
community in Eastern Europe." LI
