World Jewish Youth Parley Held
in New York; 42 Lands Represented
NEW YORK (JTA)—Formation
of a new permanent world Jewish
youth organization as a continu-
ing consultative committee for
cooperation among world Jewish
youth groups was proposed here
at the four-day World Jewish
Youth Planning Conference.
The parley is attended by lead-
ers of Jewish youth movements
throughout the world, represent-
ing 700,000 members in 219 Jew-
ish youth organizations in 42
countries.
The proposal for the formation
of the new body was made by
Dr. Max Baer, national director
of the Bnai Brith Youth Organ-
ization, speaking on behalf of the
North American delegation.
The new organization, Dr.
Baer declared, would fill "a
real need" among Jewish youth
throughout the world. He pro-
posed that the organization be
"a non-political, consultative,
educational body," guaranteeing
the autonomy and integrity of
the individual youth movements
in countries around the world.
The conference, which con-
cluded its deliberations Thursday,
was being attended by seven youth
leaders from European countries,
six from South America, seven
from Israel, eight from the United
States, as well as four represent-
ing the World Youth Movement,
which has groups in 22 countries.
Eliahu Dobkin, a member of the
Jewish Agency executive in Jeru-
salem, welcomed the delegates,
noting that this conference marks
"the first time representatives
from various Jewish youth move-
ments and organizations from all
over the world are gathered to-
gether in the United States."
He reported that in the year-
and-a-half since the Second World
Jewish Youth Conference met in
Jerusalem, organized Jewish youth
organizations have grown from
204 to 219, and that there are
now 700,000 members of these
groups in 42' countries, whereas
at the time of the conference there
were 616,000 members in 39 coun-
tries.
The youth leaders were told at
a Jewish Agency welcome dinner
Monday night of the need to rev-
italize Jewish life. Mrs. Rose L.
Halprin, chairman of the Amer-
ican section of the Jewish ex-
ecutive, said:
`The fact that we are here, rep-
resenting many trends in Jewish
life, coming from many countries,
proves that there is a common and
potent ingredient. We want to pre-
serve our Judaism, assure our
continuity as a people, cultivate a
knowledge of our past, adumbrate
a plan for our future. Were this
common purpose lacking, this con-
ference could have no meaning.
If, however, we fail to recognize
and respect the differences that
exist, the purpose of coordinated
action and program could not be
achieved.
Referring to the importance of
Jewish education, she said. "Jew-
ish education, if it is seriously
conceived, must start in the home.
It means that parents will have
to make sacrifices, introduce some
measure of traditional observance
which is presently lacking. In the
task of revitalization of Jewish
life, we will nessarily have to re-
ceive a great deal of substance
from Israel."
The dinner was followed by a
reception attended by leading rep-
resentatives of many American
Jewish organizations.

TOLEDOT
prOrlri
Isaac blesses Jacob, whose
arms are wrapped in the
skins of young goats.
"And his father Isaac
said unto him: 'Come
near now, and kiss me,
my son'. . . And he
smelled the smell of his
raiment, and blessed him"
(Gen. 27.26-27).
Toledot—Like Sarah, Rebekah at first was barren. After Isaac
prayed to God on her behalf, she bore twin boys—Esau and Jacob.
Esau grew up a hunter, Jacob an upright dweller in tents. One day,
Esau returned from the field very hungry, and disdainfully sold his
"elder son" birthright to Jacob for a pot of lentil soup. Isaac was old
and blind and likely to die soon. He called Esau and instructed him to
prepare Isaac's favorite dishes, that he might bless him before his
death. However, Rebekah, who favored Jacob for his superior merits
arranged for Jacob to secure his father's coveted blessing instead of
his elder brother. Fearing Esau's revenge, and anxious lest Jacob marry
a Canaanite woman, his mother sent him to her brother Laban, who
lived in Paddan-Aram. Before leaving, Jacob received Isaac's blessing,
the continuation of God's original blessing to Abraham: that he and
his seed would inherit the land of Canaan. Isaac bade Jacob marry one
of his uncle Laban's daughters.
