Bikel's Bag: Talking Up Jewishness With Teens
WASHINGTON—Actor and folk
singer Theodore Bikel has two
schedules for his cross-country
concert tour.
One lists the halls where he per-
forms. For the other, equally long,
Bikel requires no rehearsals and
leaves his guitar in the hotel room.
As a lecturer, he discusses with
Jewish college students such is-
sues a Jewill identification, alien-
ation from the Establishment,
Vietnam and the draft, drugs and
hippiedom.
For the past 21/2 years, the
troubador has visited scores of
Bnai Brith Eiffel Foundations on
American and Canadian cam-
puses exhorting Jewish youth
not lose their Jewishness.
Bikel is after the action-ori-
ented youth, "meaning the Jew-
ish kids who question Judaism's
relevancy to social issues, who
argue that the phenomenon of
middle-class hypocrisy is a Jew-
ish one and who complain that
Judaism has become like any
other institution that demands
conformity," he says.
The Jewish community c a n
reach this group, Bikel maintains,

Polish Envoy Declines
to Meet Youth Opposed
to Warsaw Secret Trials
by showing that there are Jewish
institutions capable of an activist
response to current social prob-
lems.
Bikel urges students not to sub-
merge themselves so completely
into the American mainstream
that they cast off their heritage.
Bikel's volunteer campus ap-
pearances—he won't charge a fee
—are jointly sponsored by the Hil-
lel Foundations and the American
Jewish Congress. Bikel is a nation-
al vice president of the AJC.

LONDON (JTA)—A delegation
of students protesting against the
forthcoming secret trials of Jew-
ish students and others in Warsaw
were dismissed from the Polish
Embassy here by a secretary who
said the ambassador would not
receive them. The delegation rep-
resented a gathering of students,
Jewish and non-Jewish, who had
maintained an all-night vigil out-
side the embassy and the ambas-
sador's private residence. The stu-
dents had urged the Polish gov-
ernment to call off the trials. The

Time Change Aids Hebrew Studies
NEW YORK (JTA) — Superin-
tendent of Schools Bernard Dono-
van ordered New York City public
schools to open 45 minutes earlier
in the morning to make up time
lost by students, and teacher pay
losses resulting from the New York
City teachers' strike that ended
this week.
Dr. Donovan acted at the request
of Brooklyn Jewish community
leaders who complained that the
extension of the school day by 45
minutes beyond the 3 p.m. closing
time originally ordered created a
problem for more than 50,000 Jew-
ish students who attend religious
classes in Talmud Torahs after
school hours.
The matter was brought to the
attention of Deputy Mayor Robert
W. Sweet who was visited at city
hall by a committee representing
-the Brooklyn Jewish Community
Council. The committee also ex-
pressed concern over the "anti-
Semitic climate engendered by the
school strike" and asked the city
administration to help the Council
carry on a continuous dialogue
with black community leaders to
bring about better relations be-
tween Jews and Negroes.
The 34-day teachers' strike cen-
tered on a dispute between the
mainly Negro and Puerto Rican
Ocean Hill-Brownsville e x p er
mental school district and the pre-
dominantly Jewish United Federa-
tion of Teachers.
