for six years and continues to advo-
cate for Israel every day. Rabens is
an ardent Zionist and serves on the
ZOA-MI board.

a tireless community activist; he
served as treasurer for ZOA-MI.
Jesse Arm was presented with the
Student Zionist of the Year Award
for his actions defending Israel on
the University of Michigan campus.
A U-M student government rep-

investigation by a student ethics
committee because he spoke up for
Israel against SAFE (an anti-Israel
organization on campus that sup-
ports the delegitimization of Israel
and BDS). Arm retained his seat.

Pete Hoekstra, was awarded the
Defender of Freedom Award. •

War Veterans Help On Holiday

On Christmas Day, the Jewish War
Veterans, led by Commander Larry
Berry, and a dozen members and
family helpers visited the Battle
Creek Veterans Hospital to lunch
with some of the veterans who spent
their Christmas at the hospital. They
ate with them and spoke to all who
would listen and listened to their
stories as well.
After lunch, they participated in
the annual bingo games members

have played for the past 60 years.
The Jewish War Veterans provided
all the prizes and made sure the 200
or so men and women who partici-
pated in bingo received prizes plus a
pair of warm socks and bag of “good-
ies,” said Commander Art Fishman,
JWV Post 510.
“It was a long day, starting at 7:30
a.m. and ending around 5 p.m., but
what a great feeling it was for us all,”
Fishman said. •
