Jewish Youth No Longer 'Escapist,'
Dr. Haber Tells Hillel Delegates
*
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Les-
sening of external and economic
pressures in the American com-
munity is allowing Jewish youth
to cease being "escapist," Dr.
William Haber, chairman of
Bnai Brith Hillel Foundation :
said at a meeting of the Na-
tional Hillel Commission.
The new security, he said,
"has dissolved apologetics and
relieved external pressures on
the Jewish student."
Dr. Haber warned, however,
that students whose Jewish
ioentification may have result-
ed from these pressures "now
must seek the reascn why they
are Jews."
He said that, to be Jews,
young people must take an ini-
tiative in this regard that was
not required of grandparents
who enjoyed Eastern Europe's
rich Jewish tradition.
He stressed that American-
born parents do not have this
contact with the past. Their
children arrive at college "not
knowing of the history, poetry,
literature, art and theology of
the Jews," he said.
Rabbi Arthur J. Lelyveld, a
former national Hillel head,
criticized national agencies
whose "zealous efforts" to or-
ganize students along denomi-
national lines are creating "de-
nominational rifts." Stressing
the danger of "fragmentation
and organizational competition"
he characterized Hillel as a
uniting agency where Jewish
students can learn both about
their ideological differences and
the importance of their com-
mon faith.
Rabbi Robert Gordis, speak-
ing on the same problem, said
Hillel directors must make it
clear to each Jewish group that
it has an obligation to its own
intellectual integrity and a
commitment to recognize that
other groups have something of
value to contribute.
Announcing a $1,750,000 bud-
get for '960, national Hillel
director Rabbi • Benjamin M.
Kahn made known that Hillel
has 170 requests for its service
which cannot now be Met.
The Hillel Commission re-
elected Dr. Haber as chairman;
Joseph L. Paraside, New York,
vice chairman; Philip W. Lown,
Boston, treasurer, and Maurice
Sisgyer, Washington, secretary.
Senator Lyndon B. Johnson,
of Texas, Majority Leader of
the United States Senate, called
for investment in Israel and
other underdeveloped lands as
a vital service to the cause of
freedom throughout the world.
Speaking at an Israel Bond
dinner in his honor in Houston,
Senator Johnson stressed the
need for the United States to.
Establish Commission
for Securities Sale
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — An
Israel Securities Exchange
Commission of 12 bankers and
finance officials was established
recently to examine and pass
judgment on prospectuses of-
fering securities for public sale.
Finance Minister Levi Eshkol
announced appointment of the
commission in response to a
steady increase in sales of se-
curities to Israel investors. The
commission has no authority
over Israel stock exchange op-
erations and was set up only to
protect investors from fraudu-
lent securities claims.
The increase in securities
buying followed the introduc-
tion of securities linked to the
dollar or cost-of-living index
data which has given investors
a sense of protection against in-
flationary or deflationary
changes in the value of Israel
currency. Since the first -dollar-
linked securities were issued
four years ago, Israel firms
have sold a total of 267,000,000
pounds worth of such securities.
