"My teen
een mission
experience as an Israeli
participant was amazing! My bus
became my family in four days. I am
sure that the friends I have made on this
mission will be my friends for a lifetime. The
mission made me understand how proud I am
to be a Jew and how proud I am to be an Israeli
involved in Michigan's special community: I
am going to take part in more of the part-
nership programs. Thanks so much for a
great month! ))

We greatly appreciate how
well-planned the trip was, includ-
ing the great itinerary which allowed
the kids to experience so many different
parts of Israel. Our daughter, Danielle
Jacobson, had a wonderful adventure dur-
ing her experience in Israel for the first
time. She can't wait to return! ))
