'Our Kids Home' ;' Omaha—Parents, grandparentsr brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and friends crowded EpplejTAirpdrfIVedilesday afternoon to greet 22 local teenagers on their return from a 7 week study tour of jlsrael. '.. The, members of Qmaha's first Youth Pilgrimage to Is-' rael were greeted, warmly by their loved ones amid signs which bid them "Welcome Home," "Shalom" and one sign attached to a large pair of • shears reading "Free Haircuts!" A large bouquet of roses •Was presented from the assembled parents to Mr. and
Mrs. Jack Molad who accompanied the grojip on the tour. Obviously- weary from the long trip home, many of the youngsters arrived in Israeli attire; a few with Arab headgear; all apparently well .and happy. -It was a warm exciting scene. Comments -from the young, people about their trip were impossible to get -amid, all the confusion. That will come later. Pictured here are a few of the happy scenes at the airport Wednesday when "our kids came home.1' • •'..'' •
