Hillel College Students Seek Out the Meaning
of 'Jewish Values' and Identity at Institute
STARLIGHT, Pa. (TA)—Partici-
pants in the 20th national Hillel
summer institute, in a week-long
series of sessions here, which ad-
journed Sunday, indicated some
vital areas of Jewish student con-
cern.
A determined search was seen
as emerging among Jewish univer-
sity students for the meaning of
"Jewish values" and "Jewish iden-
tity "as distinguished from the
-generally accepted human values
of America.
Some 215 Jewish students from
123 American and foreign univer-
sities brought to the institute a
question which leaders of the Bnai
Brith Hillel Foundation sought to
answer. Most questions were
aimed at finding a uniquely Jew-
ish approach to life in an age
marked by a universal quest for
social justice. The students want

lives in a Moslem country. She cannot hear, but she is learning the
sounds of speech, thanks to a special Joint Distribution Committee
(JDC) program for the young handicapped. The Israeli youth at the
bottom is a victim of cerebral palsy, taught to read by a skilled
teacher and the use of special head equipment provided in JDC's
Malben program in Israel. UJA funds raised in the current campaign
support many such programs.

the Jewish home, as well as coupon
ads.
Mar-Pary is made by the Miami
Margarine of Cincinnati, one of the
nation's leading margarine manu-
facturers for 40 years. Miami
recognized the need for a kosher
pareve margarine 10 years ago and
produced Mar - Pary all - vegetable
margarine, made with highly un-
saturated corn oil and other vege-
table oils, plus vitamin A and D
added.
It contains no milk or animal
fat, so it may be used in the
preparation of and served at Jew-
ish meals containing meat or
dairy foods.
Mar-Pary may also be used by
people allergic to milk and milk
products and in any diet where
milk is restricted.
Mar-Pary is produced under
strict supervision of the Union of
Orthodox Jewish Congregations of
America and bears the (U) seal on
the package.

to know, for instance, whether
there is a separate or different
Jewish approach to such problems
as civil rights, the war on poverty
and world peace.
Leaders noted that the students
displayed a distinct commitment
to social justice and human wel-
fare, without consciously relating
these concepts to Judaism. The
students felt integrated in the gen-
eral culture and wanted to learn
what was distinct about Judaism
as a current mode of life. A defi-
ciency was seen by Hillel leaders
in education that could link
Judaism with current world de-
velopments.
Rabbi Benjamin M. Kahn, na-
tional Hillel director, stated that
most of the students frankly ad-
mitted to being inadequately in-
formed about Judaism, and ap-
peared eager "to know who they
are." The students appeared to
him to lack a sense of convic-
tion "of the uniqueness of being
Jewish and knowledge of Jewish
values; of what Judaism has
to say to them as human
beings."
A point made by many students
was that the Nazi holocaust and
defiance to anti-Semitism were in-
adequate justification for being
Jewish. They asked repeatedly
"What is unique about being Jew-
ish today?"
Committed to a yearning for uni-
versal social justice, students said
they could not see that it differed
if a Jewish youth chose to serve
in the U.S. Peace Corps instead of
spending time on an Israeli kib-
butz.
The students appeared to show
greater personal security and did
not feel a need to apologize for
Jewishness.
Rabbi Oscar Groner, assistant
national Hillel director, pointed out
that Jewish values have been in-
corporated into Western values,
but that there was a special Jew-
ish distinction in the emotion, sen-
timent, a n d warmth of Jewish
commitment. In his answer to
questions by students, Rabbi Gro-
ner said that Judaism's greatest
counter-challenge to the world is
that "we are here today discuss-
ing the questions raised concern-
ing challenges to Judaism."
Rabbi Groner pointed out that,
in intellectual circles, there was
not only great admiration for Jew, j
ish ideas "but it is even a yiehuS ---/-
to have a Jewish great-great-
grandfather." He said: "Our task
here is not to justify our exist-
ence as Jews; being alive is justi-
fication enough; but rather to seek
for the meaning which lies behind
our continued existence as a peo-
ple."
Among the universities repre-
sented were a number of Canadian
institutions, Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, Oxford University of
England and more than 100 Amer-
ican universities.
