arah Schonberg, 27, of Birmingham always wanted to
work for a Jewish organization. But she never dreamed
she would receive a free education by doing so.
About six months ago, Schonberg began
working for B'nai B'rith Youth Organization
(BBYO) as director of its Alumni and Friends
Network in Washington, D.C. Shortly after,
BBYO selected Schonberg as one of 15 par-
ticipants in its newly created Professional
Development Institute (PDI).
The PDI's goal is to provide BBYO profes-
sionals
fully funded master's of business
Sarah
administration
(MBA) degrees through a
Schonberg
partnership with Indiana University's Kelly
School of Business. Schonberg also will earn a certificate in
informal Jewish education from Hebrew College in Boston.
To receive the free education, Schonberg must commit to three

Sign Up For Family Mission To Israel
As an alternative to fighting holiday shoppers and bun-
dling up against the frigid weather, the Jewish Federation
of Metropolitan Detroit is offering the journey of a life-
time.
There's still room on Federation's Family Mission to
Israel, leaving Detroit Dec. 25, 2008 and returning Jan. 4,
2009.
"The whole trip is geared for families and the itinerary
is expertly planned with the best guides, the best hotels
and the best sites:' said Lisa Lis of Farmington Hills, who
co-chairs Federation's Family Mission with her husband,
Hannan.
"This is also a wonderful opportunity to bond and connect
with other Detroiters on the trip."
The Family Mission will offer the usual fare, including
a walk through Jerusalem's Old City and a dip in the Dead
Sea.
Participants also will be treated to a private concert in Tel
Aviv featuring David Broza and Mayumana (Israel's version
of Stomp) and a b'nai mitzvah ceremony overlooking the Old
City.
Each 40-person bus will follow its own itinerary, and come
together for community events.
The cost for the mission, which starts at $4,845, includes
a private El Al charter flight nonstop from Detroit Metro
Airport to Ben-Gurion Airport, expedited check-in, accom-
modations at Israel's premier hotels, concierge services,
youth counselors and security staff on every bus at all
times.
Some 700 family members participated in the first Family
Mission in 2005.

Joseph Foundation of San Franscisco, which allocated $2.5 mil-
lion to initiate the program.
BBYO is the largest pluralistic Jewish youth movement in the
world.
"It's growing really quickly, and I'm very excited to be apart of
the rapid growth:' Schonberg said.
She graduated from Michigan State University in 2003 with a
degree from James Madison College. She then spent the next 2.5
years volunteering in the Peace Corps, where she taught health
to students and their teachers in three different communities in
Guatemala.
Schonberg is the daughter of Nancy Bechek Bluth and Edward
Schonberg, both of Birmingham.
"To be successful in our mission of involving more Jewish
teens in more meaningful Jewish experiences, we have to think
of ourselves as being in the business of teens," said Howard
Wohl, BBYO's board chairman. "We are thrilled to set an example
of how non-profit organizations can provide its professionals
the opportunity to work towards a rewarding mission while also
gaining the skills they need to run a successful business." LI
