200 Cleveland Jews Begin Mission to Israel

(Cleveland Plain Dealer) - 209 Cleveland-area Jews arrived on a weeklong mission to Israel, including seven rabbis representing the three principal streams of Judaism - Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox. Also arriving in Israel this week are missions from cities in California, Tennessee, and Alabama. Murray Kudroff, 59, said "Drop everything and just go. Just being here means saying, 'They're trying to scare us off, but it won't work.' We have to be here and to take the time and effort to show what's important."
