a united Jerusalem under Israeli con-
trol with some autonomy granted to
Arab neighborhoods. There was no
question, however, that our arrival in
Jerusalem, mentioned hundreds of
times in the Tanach, the Jewish Bible,
was transformative amid our tears and
hugs.
For Mark Klein of West Bloomfield,
Mount Scopus set the stage for "just
a very emotional,
comforting experi-
ence that I'll cherish
forever"
Fellow first-
time Israel visitor
Sheri Michaels of
Bloomfield Hills
found the Mount an
Mark Klein
uplifting backdrop
for her birthday.
"I'll never think about Israel the
same way again" she said. "It's closer
to my heart now. I understand more
why it's important to me as a Jew."

DAY

3-5 P.M. AT THE JCC OF OAK PARK

15110 W. 10 Mile Rd. Oak Park, MI 48237

Speakers
RABBI ELI MANSOUR

is a dynamic, highly acclaimed international lecturer
on Ahavat Torah and Ahavat Yisrael appealing to Jews
of all cultures, backgrounds and every educational level.
He is Senior Rabbi of Bet Yaakob, a prominent Sephardic
Congregation in Brooklyn, NY.

For Randi Sakwa
of West Bloomfield,
this Mount of
reflection and hope
helped her realize
"how blessed I am
to be in Israel and
to experience this
Sheri Michaels magical spot for the
third time"
The sense I got
from our group,
which became fam-
ily in a very real
sense, was that no
matter how often
you visit Israel, the
ancestral Jewish
Randi Sakwa
homeland, the jour-
ney is forever fresh and invigorating.
As Sakwa put it: "I can honestly say
each visit feels like the first, and I look
forward with anticipation to return-
ing not only to Israel, but especially to
Jerusalem" ❑
