Rabbi Stollman Finds Kibbutz
Role Secure in Israel's Future
By RABBI ISAAC STOLMAN
Editor's Note: This is the second
in a series of articles by Rabbi Stoll-
man who recently returned from a
visit in Israel.
What role will the Kibbutz
and the Chalutz play in the
future of Israel? was one of the
provocative questions that arose
in my meetings and discussions
with leaders and constituents of
Mapai, Mapam and Hapoel
Hamizrachi parties in Israel.
I found the answer to be af-
firmative and positive—that the
place of the Kibbutz in the fu-
ture' of the Israel government
and economy is secure.
One may ask, how does the
Chalutz look upon urban econ-
omy and society? Does the
Kibbutz manifest itself as class-
struggle, resulting in distrust
between labor and capitalism?
From conversations with leaders
of the above mentioned parties
I learned that every element in
Israel is dominated and unified
by a single idealism which is no
less than the Zionist program
of the physical and cultural de-
velopment of the land for the
people of Israel.' Whether or not
the tendency is to the leftist ap-
proach of socialism, one basic
difference exists between the
Jewish pioneer and the socialist
prototype. Whereas for the lat-
ter socialism comes first and
nationalism second or not at all
in his idealogical hiearchy, for
the Chaulutz nationalism holds
undisrupted sway. With all the
fervor and exuberance of his re-
juvenated personality he is con-
cerned with building a home for
"Klal Isroel." For this reason he
is an ardent co-worker with his
urban brother and private own-
er. Thus there is harmony be-
tween these historically antip-
odal classes of society. The Is-
reali sincerely believes that gov-
ernment economy requires all
element s—capitalist, laborer,
Chalutz, etc.
"Then why are you in the kib-
butz rather than in the city?"
one may ask the Chalutz. But
the answer is generally the same
from all: "We feel that we can
best serve the interests of Zion-
ism in our own way, by agrarian,
Communal life."
This social viewpoint has
created a new type of life in the
community which is not only a
•
far cry from communism but
more idealogically profound
and certainly more attuned to
, the human personality. It is
the national will to free the self
and the people from the Goluth.
This honest and humanitarian
approach assures the future of
the government of Israel.
"What of the youth? Will he
leave the kibbutz some aay for
the city? "We hope he will not,"
was the answer. "The city will
have to move closer to us rather
than we to the city. The gov-
ernment itself visualizes the
day in the near future when 50
percent of the inhabitants will
be living and working on farms
and colonies. And that in itself
warrants OUT belief that youth
will perpetuate our form of life."
What about the cultural as-
pect of life on a Kibbutz? Do
you pursue spiritual and cul-
tural values in your daily life?
To this question an answer was
not readily forthcoming. There
ft no kibbutz today which is not
shorthanded. The average work-
day is eight or nine hours but
one works considerably more
than that.. And no one can af-
ford or cares to watch the clock.
Sabbath is almost the only time
that can be devoted more to
cultural pursuits.
Visiting kibbutzim of every
shade, I had the opportunity to
observe the strength and in-
fluence of religious life. In al-
most every religious kibbutz of
the Hapoel Hamizrachi and of
Agudath Israel I found the cha-
lutzim participating in daily
studies of Talmud and related
subjects.
Generally speaking, I have
found that socialist and religi-
_ous aspects of life do not create
division between the religious
and non-religious groups. There
exists full cooperation and un-
derstanding between the groups.

Beigin Asserts Loyalty
To Israeli Government
BUENOS AIRES, (JTA)—
Menahem Beigin, former leader
of the Irgun, addressed a crowd
of more than 10,000 people at
Luna Park, emphasizing that he
never attacked the Israeli Gov-
ernment abroad and that he
considers it his government. He
also urged the Jews of Argen-
tina to make investments in
Israel and to buy Israeli goods.
Beigin strongly critized those
who say that the Irgunists were
fascists. He pointed out that the
Irgun fought "against the Brit-
ish fascist regime" and de-
scribed how Irgunists destroyed
"British rifles, whips and gal-
lows." He concluded with a call
to the audience "not to forget
Jerusalem." After the meeting,
crowds marched to the St. Mar-
tin monument where the former
Irgun leader laid a wreath in
honor of Argentina's national
hero.

Army authorities at the port of
Bremerhaven seized an Israeli
vessel, the Drommit, because it
was allegedly being loaded with
an illegal consignment of ma-
chinery, including construction
machines, tractors and automo-

The Army announcement said
that the machinery was labelled
as household goods of Jewish
immigrants headed for Israel.
Officials said that the shipment,
which comes from Bergen-

kind ever discovered.
