to get involved and give 
back by helping the Metro 
Detroit community navigate 
and understand what was 
happening overseas.
“Even though it was 
really difficult for us, we felt 
we were doing something 
important,” Rachel 
Schreiber adds.
The Schreibers were often 
asked tough questions by 
students, such as whether 
it’s safe to live in Israel or if 
life in Israel is scary.
“We told them it’s not 
hard,” she continues. “It’s 
home.”

A WARM WELCOME
As Rachel and Yael 
Schreiber plan to return 
to Israel at the beginning 
of August following the 
completion of their second 
year of Bnot Sherut service, 
they’ll take with them 
countless memories and an 
experience they say they’d 
never trade for another.
“The biggest thing that 
surprised us here is there 
is so much support from 
Jews around the world for 
Israel,” Yael Schreiber says. 
“We didn’t know there are 
so many Jews in Metro 
Detroit and that it’s such a 
big community.”
She calls the experience 
“amazing,” especially at 
the initial outbreak of the 
Israel-Hamas war when the 
local Jewish community 
rallied to provide the 
Schreibers with home-
cooked meals, support, and 
to help them feel loved and 
welcomed.
“They kept asking 
about our family and 
about how everyone is 
doing,” Schreiber says. 

“Everyone took part in the 
programs that we did for 
the community. Everybody 
tried to help by donating 
something.”
Dr. Joshua Levisohn, 
head of school at Farber 
Hebrew Day School, says it 
was an “incredibly difficult 
year” for their Israeli 
Shlichim, particularly their 
19-year-old Bnot Sherut, 
but it was perhaps the most 
important year of service 
the school experienced thus 
far.

“Bringing the reality 
of Israel to our students 
was so critical,” he says. 
“Awareness about the 
soldiers, about the hostages, 
about the complexities of 
Yom HaZikaron and Yom 
HaAtzmaut.”
“Because of their 
proximity in age to the 
students,” Levisohn adds, 
“Rachel and Yael have a 
very close relationship with 
our children and have the 
greatest impact on their 
thinking and attachment to 
Israel.”

The twins’ year in 
Metro Detroit also opened 
their eyes to the breadth 
and warmth of the local 
Jewish community, Rachel 
Schreiber explains, a very 
“special” experience.
Upon their return to 
Israel, both twins plan to 
attend university. Yet for 
now, they continue to enjoy 
their remaining months in 
Metro Detroit.
“This year was the most 
humbling and meaningful 
year of my life,” Rachel 
Schreiber says. “Everyone 
here is trying to be Jewish 
in good ways. They’re doing 
their best.”
