he Hebrew term for gratitude is hakarat hatov, which means, literally, "recognizing the
good:' something many of us tend to do this time of year as we celebrate Thanksgiving with
family and friends.
For our Thanksgiving issue, the Jewish News gave second- and third-graders at Akiva Hebrew Day
School in Southfield and Hillel Day School in Farmington Hills an assignment: Tell us what you're
grateful for. The students came up with wonderful responses about all the good they recognize in
their lives. Some of their answers are poignant, some kind of funny — all are heartfelt and sincere.
We wish we had space to print everyone's answer and, if it were up to us, all the students who par-
ticipated would get an "A:'
Enjoy some of their answers, and perhaps take the time to recognize the good in your life and in
Metro Detroit's Jewish community.

To be young, Jewish and committed
to building community.

AM! In a word, that's the initial impact of an invitation
to Israel from the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan
Detroit.
BAM! It can happen just like that. Attend your share of com-
munity-building events, connect and engage with your peers in
Jewish Detroit, step forward, make your voice heard and BAM,
next thing you know, you're headed for Israel with a group of
like-minded young Jewish Detroiters, traveling together on the
second Adam & Jodi Becker All-Star Mission to Israel, in short,
the mission known as BAM, chaired by Scott Mitnick of Royal
Oak and Steve Migliore of West Bloomfield.
