Out of their round-table dis- cussions and their exchange of ideas came some definite conclu- sions. They want a more active part to play in the Jewish Center policy and program planning, and they ask for an expansion of cen- 12 r programs along the lines of ewish education, cultural pro- p.ams, social activities, and rec- To these ends they sation. !ledge their whole-hearted coop- ration. 'N! One of these young people — . i rman Shavin, representative of the Chattanooga (Tenn.) Jewish Community Center, and one of the three representatives from the southern section of JWB to the institute—addressed delegates at the annual meeting of the south- ern section which was held in Chattanooga recently and gave his report on conclusions reached at the institute. The following is an extract of his talk. I AWAIT OPPORTUNITY Youth desires to be recognized f or what it actually is. In us I, will find powerful forces— talents now, latent, but which need only the awakening touch of opportunity. We look to our elders to establish the framework within which we shall build. Let us know your demands, and you will find us ready — eager — to prove ourselves. All we ask is recognition of our potentialities; then, opportunity to employ our weapons of creativeness. Youth wants social and recre- ational facilities. Youth wants cultural and educational facilities. Youth wants Jewish education. , Youth wants more adequate facil- . 4 1. ,),es for meetings, physical recre- ation and education. Youth wants more interfaith projects. Youth •wants vocational guidance. Youth wants co-educational social func- t ions. Youth wants to know its past, Its present and its future; whence we came and where we are going. Jewish youth cannot expect others to understand us until we first understand ourselves. That's why we want an aware- ness and understanding of the Jewish cultural heritage; an un- --- 7, Chanukah Greetings • GIBBS 8 CO.

On the second day of the celebration all the settlers and their guests visited Ilarod Spring, the birthplace of their settlement, where they heard veteran settlers recount the rich history of their settlement. United Palestine Appeal funds gave vital development aid to Ein Ilarod, which now has more than 1,100 Jewish settlers and im- migrants, and covers 15,000 dunam of cultivated land. derstanding of anti-Semitism, its cause and effect—its manifesta- tions in education, employment and social life; a knowledge of how to cope with it. POSITIVE EXPERIENCES That's why youth wants positive Jewish cultural and educational experience, an understanding of the organization of Jewish life in the community, the nation and the world. That's why youth wants to be taught religious sig- nificances and the role they play in our environment. We, as youth, are deeply and vitally concerned with social and political issues. We want a voice in support or rejection of the decisions which are directly affect- ing our lives. In short, we, as thinking, mature individuals want not a condescending pat on the head and an occasional smile — we desire to be heard—our influ- ence to be felt. We want indorsement as an alive and dynamic powerhouse of ideas, suggestions and actions. We want to help you and ourselves. By educating us in our forma- tive years in the ways of leader- ship and constructive thinking, you insure the life of the Jewish Community Center—and of the community; for you prepare us to assume the jobs of direction which time shall force you to vacate. By virtue of its age, youth is thought rash—reckless. But it is not. This impatience—this impe- tuosity—is the result of improper guidance and thwarted ambition Youth has a stake in the Center; but only through the help of its elders can it begin to realize the Chanukah Greetings DR.

Will you give us that chance? one type of blood which can pos- sibly save him. Then, two ques- tions arise: Is that blood avail- able? Can he get it in time? ANALOGY FOR YOUTH A Jewish Community Center, dedicated to the assistance, educa- tion and welfare of its commun- ity, stands weak and passive—not fulfilling its purpose—caught in the throes of unseen hindering forces—a deadening lethargy cov- ering its being. There is only one type of blood which can save it—make it a throbbing alive organism. Then, two questions arise: Is this blood available? And Youth eagerly cries, "Yes!" And the second question, "Will it be used?" And Youth can but say, "Use us . • ." The anology is clear. The Jew- ish Community Center is the for- tunate of the two. It has avail- able the resources and the instru SEASON'S GREETINGS! Richardson's Drug Store Open All Night 9053 WOODWARD at Clairmount Chanukah Greetings • HOTEL BOOK-CADILLAC DETROIT, MICH.
