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. 40% GET UP TO OFF THE RETAIL PRICE OF ALL NURSERY STOCK -- SPECIALTY TREES, UNIQUE SHRUBS, & MORE!

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.
