A Good Harvest
Pillars of the Central Galilee are
aliyah absorption, which strength-
ens Israel as the Jewish state, and
Jewish-Arab equality building,
which is essential in a land of 5.5-
million Jews and 1.5-million Arabs.
Total population is 7.4 million.
A banner P2K success is the pop-
ular summer experience for Israeli
and Michigan teens at Tamarack's
Camp Maas in Ortonville. Israeli
teens also take part in Federation's
biennial Teen Mission to Israel.
P2K has yielded Israeli social
service and relief programs,
hospice care, resettlement, emer-
gency-funding youth programs and
equality-building programs involv-
ing Israeli Arabs and Jews.
The yield further includes trans-
Atlantic Jewish education pro-
grams, leadership development and
communal interaction.
Although most of the tangible
benefits of P2K have been in the
Central Galilee, Metro Detroit
has benefited from professional
exchanges involving physicians,
educators and social workers;
adopting Israeli eldercare service
programs; and school-related
learning connections.
Total P2K investment over the
past 15 years is at least $10.5 mil-
lion, the vast majority from the
Metro Detroit Federation.
There's a bright future for the
bond between Michigan Jewry and
the Central Galilee if the Michigan-
Israel joint steering committee suc-
ceeds in recalibrating its direction.
That's a big "if." But Michigan del-
egation co-chairs Michael Horowitz
and Jeff Schlussel are serious about
winning over the skeptics.
To regenerate itself, P2K must
follow a new path that echoes more
among Michigan Jews, giving their
federations a valid reason to con-
tinue sending precious Campaign
dollars to the people of Nazareth
Illit, Migdal HaEmek and the
Jezreel Valley. II
