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. 16 THE JEWISH NEWS Friday, August 12, 1949 — Manischewitz Borscht Boon to Housewives One of the most refreshing of all summertime foods, and the solution to many a meal-plan- ning problem, is borscht.
