Young Jewish adolescents, as
well as their peers in all other
groups, are struggling to establish
l
themselves and find their pl ace
in a difficult post-war world in
birth. Their adult - dominated
world of yesterday no longer sat-
isfies them. Its shackles irk them.
They want to spread their own
wings, find their own way.
But they are not sure of direc-
tion. They have no rich backlog
of experiences on which to draw
for mature decisions. They are
not certain of themselves in their
first experiences in relation to the
opposite sex. Their jitterbug, bob-
by-sox style is frowned upon by
many of their elders. Older bro-
thers, returning as veterans and
heroes from the wars, often rele-
gate them to a secondary position,
out of the limelight, into the

and help them grow to the sta-
ture that the challenge of today
requires of them as Americans
and as Jews, we must accept
them as they are. We must use
their own real needs as our start-
ing point and relate program-
ming to their own real expe-
riences. We can help them clari-
fy their problems to themselves,
help them lay their own plans
and successfully implement them.
We can provide a pleasant place
in a Jewish atmosphere for them
to meet old and new friends. We
can help make it possible for them
to enjoy positive, satisfying Jew-
ish experiences and grow into the
status of the future leaders of
the community.
I am eager to meet with those
in the community concerned with
the needs of Jewish youth and
shall welcome the opportunity to
discuss and plan jointly with them
for the enrichment of our program
and services for our youth. •
