Lesson Aboard Ship for ORT 'Cadet
OP"
Om.-

NEW YORK—An unusual Israeli
educational venture arrived in
New York last week in the form
of the Zim Line freighter," Hadar."
For purposes of teaching young-
sters ambitious to become ship
officers, the engine room of the
"Hadar" had been transformed
into a "classroom."
The fourteen young men, aged
15 to 18, called "cadets" in ac-
cordance with maritime usuage,
could be found almost anytime of
day removing pistons from the two
huge engines deep in the hull of
the 7,000 ton cargo vessel, under
the direction of two instructors of
the ORT Technical and Vocational
Center in Natanya, Israel. A
counterpart group of 14 students
are now on a trip to ports in
northern Europe on board a sister
ship, the "Yafo."
The purpose of this trip is to
provide actual sea experience to
candidates for marine engineer-
ing officerships," stated Ben-
jamin Bobash, one of the teach-
ers. "You must understand that
Israel is anxious to develop its
maritime fleet and our school
for marine engineering at the
ORT Center in Natanya has the
task of providing one of the
missing links — skilled person-
nel."
Half of the student group comes
from Nathanya and the other half
from farm settlements and towns
in the area. An inquiry as to
family origin indicated that while
quite a few are sabras, their par-
ents come from as diverse coun-
tries as Turkey, Poland, Romania,
Morocco and one young fellow
from Amarillo, Texas.
David Knapp, in his grease
smudged coveralls, with a
wrench in one hand and his face
smeared with oil, was indistin-
guishable from his 13 class-
mates, but his story was far
from ordinary. He spoke Hebrew
fluently, with a Texas twang. He
was brought to Israel when he
was 8 years old by his father, a
Seventh Day Adventist, w h o
professes himself to be a Chris-
tian Zionist.
Cadets and teachers were greeted
by an American ORT delegation
and treated to New York sight-
seeing. They were quick to respond
with wonder at the Empire State
Building, the Rockefeller Center
and the United Nations, among
other sites.
Before arriving in New York, to
moor at pier 32 on the Hadar, they
had stopped at Genoa, Naples and
Leghorn, and will head for Bar-
celona on its return trip. While
the students were exited to be on
the ship, this was a long time to
be away from home and their
eyes sparkled at the announce-
ment that they would be going
back in a few days.
In an educational sense, the
trip was a debut. It was the
first time that second year high
school youngsters had taken
their lessons on a ship, working
side by side with the regular
crew. Their daily assignments
were practical to the function of
the ship.
A visit to the amazingly clean
but oil-permeated engine room
showed them removing pistons
from the motors, repairing gener-
ators, fitting parts in the adjacent
machine shop and even detergent
washing the bulkheads. Two "lec-
tures" are held daily in the offi-
cers' mess room. It was obvious
It is unbecoming a refined per-
son to sit down at a meal without
having washed his hands, and
even more unbecoming for one to
take from a guest's portion into
his own plate in his presence; and
most unbecoming it is for one
guest to invite another guest.—
Derech Eretz 8
that this was a serious "school" at
serious work.
At the end of four years in the
ORT school, these youth and their
counterparts on the ship "Jafo"
will be eligible to take a qualifying
examination for licensing as engi-
neering officers. There will be no
problem in placing them in jobs.
