IZFA Scans Plans On Collegiate Aliyah

One hunched delegates to the
Fifth National Convention of
the Intercollegiate Federation of
America (IZI0A) heard James G.
Heller, leading reform rabbi of
Cincinnati, assert that a grad-
ual education of American
youth is necessary in order to
encourage emigration to Israel.
Elihu Katz of Columbia Univer-
sity was elected national presi-
dent, and Ray Soloff of Hebrew
Union College, vice-president.
A major policy decision, as-
serting that the most vital task
of IZFA is "to offer to the
American Jewish college student
the intellectual and emotional

equipment which will enable
him to sonsider the possibility
of participating personally in,
the upbuilding of Israel," was
passed by a large majority of
the delegates. The resolution.
goes on to recognize, however,
that IZFA should continue to
participate in activities on the
American Jewish scene, and
that those who engage in such
activities "are valued as highly
as those who do go to Israel."
