alleviate the oppressions suffered
by the 3.000,000 Jews in the USSR.
Asael Ben-David, director of the
youth department of the Jewish
Agency American section, told the
convention ,that many American
Jewish college youth. Zionist and
non-Zionist alike, are "tired of
talking and listening to speeches,
and now want to participate for a
Year or more in productive work
in Israel and within the American
Jewish community."
The convention is taking up the
possible organization of a "Shalom
Corps" or service group for Amer-
ican Jewish youth to spend a
minimum of a year either in Is-
rael or in the American Jewish
community. Ben-David suggested
that the year of service include a
three-month preparatory seminar
in Israel; after which the youths
would go to isolated American
Jewish communities to serve as
youth group leaders and instruc-
tors in Hebrew and related sub-
jects.
