ZOA In D.C.
The Zionist Organization of America
(ZOA) wants to applaud your timely
editorial on the need for our gov-
ernment to defend Jewish students
on campus, per Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act, against anti-Semitism
and anti-Israel personnel attacks
("When Campus Hate Boils Over,"
April 29, page 37).
Members from our Michigan
Region, along with the national ZOA,
lobbied Congress two weeks ago on
this important issue. In addition,
we lobbied about Iran sanctions,
funding of the Palestinian Authority
and our embassy being moved to
Jerusalem. We met with Rep. Gary
Peters, D-Bloomfield Township, and
staff members for Rep. Thaddeus
McCotter, R-Livonia, and Sen.
Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich.

Annual March
Congratulations to the leadership and
participants in the May 2 Walk for
Israel as part of the 62nd anniversary
of the State of Israel ("United For
Israel:' May 6, page 24).
The wonderful turnout and enthu-
siasm even during inclement weather
again shows the spirit and support for
Israel that our community is known for.
I would like to point out, though,
that parades of support have been
held, perhaps under varying leader-
ship for nearly, if not all, of the past
62 years. I think it is a misnomer to
call the recent one, the "fifth annual"
instead of the "annual" parade or corn-
munity celebration.
The community should, and does,
take pride in the growth of the State of
Israel since the Day of Independence.
The number should not, I believe, be
counted by the number of years local
leadership are involved.
The annual event began in 1948
and, with our interest and support,
should and will continue!
Work Together
Congratulations to Publisher Arthur
Horwitz and the Jewish News for
assembling a terrific group of young
adults to discuss and strategize on the
future of Jewish Detroit.
The cover story "Working Together"
(April 29, page 11) noted, "The young
adults exudea visible energy and pas-
sion for the Mission:' We would gladly
invite Mr. Horwitz to attend any of our
monthly board meetings of the Jewish
Federation of Metropolitan Detroit's
Young Adult Division to witness a room
full of 20- and 30-something leaders
who are energetic, passionate and taking
action to make our community better.
We wholeheartedly agree with the
mission of the SE Michigan Jewish
Affiance and hope that we can work
together along with Federation's
CommunityNEXT to improve our
hometown. After all, we're all on the
same team and share the same goals.
Let's continue the dialogue and
strive to strengthen and improve our
Jewish community. We're stronger
and can have more impact if we work
together and not independently.
