Religious Zionist Parties to Receive
2 Seats on Jewish Agency Executive
JERUSALEM (JTA) — The Reli-
gious Zionist parties will be given
two seats on the new Jewish
Agency Executive in accordance
with an agreement approved by
the executive. One will carry the
portfolio of the religious education
department and one will be with-
out portfolio, but the members
will be associated with the affairs
of the Agency's absorption depart-
ment. The seats will be filled re-
spectively by Moshe Krona and
Mordechai Kirchblum.
The agreement will bring about
the ,return to the executive of the
Mizrachi and Hapoel Hamizrachi
factions. They had refused to par-
ticipate in the new executive estab-
lished at the 27th World Zionist
Congress here in June because
they were deprived of the aliya
(immigration) department which
the religious parties had controlled
for 30 years.
Aryeh Pincus, chairman of the
Jewish Agency, was given the aliya
portfolio.
The new head of the Jewish
Agency's youth and hehalutz
department said he believes a
visit to Israel is worth more than
thousands of words in the effort
to stimulate youths to immigrate
,
here. Modechai Bar-On said at
his press conference that even a
brief visit would help foster Jew-
ish identity among young Jews
far removed from it and could
lead eventually to aliya.
Bar-On said his depart ment
would make a major effort to in-
crease the capacity of the various
summer and winter programs in
Israel for youth from abroad. He
said that the lack of facilities pre-
vented 500 youths from attending
summer camps and summer
courses here and resulted in hard-
ships for some who did come.
According to Bar-On, the pro-
grams organized by the Jewish
Agency's education and Tora edu-
cation departments attracted 1,500
youths from abroad this year, in
addition to 2,500 who joined various
institutes and camps. He expected
3,000 youths to come next year and
said the number could be increased
to 4,000 annually.
