ton Woods, to settle in Jerusalem.
Ben is one of 3,200 overseas stu-

the American Friends of the He-
brew University.
He is among the first to see the
return of the university to its
Mount Scopus campus, which
was regained during the Six-Day
War. The campus had been in-
accessible for 19 years, since
Israel's War of Independence in
1948.
The rest of Ben's contemporaries
from Habonim will soon join him

A distinguished psychiatrist said
that poverty in America could be
wiped out in a single generation if
Americans used a method of rais-
ing children similar to that prac-
ticed on the Israeli kibutz.
In a current Look Magazine in-
terview, Dr. Bruno Bettelheim, di-
rector of the Orthogenic School at
the University of Chicago, said the
kibutz system here could do the
same as it has done for Israel.

Living in a Kibbutz
The kibbutz offers a unique social experience that has
proved particularly satisfying to the many Americans and
Canadians who have settled there. Theconcept of sharing
in labor, in profits, in decision-making, in the raising of
children has been proven a workable and rewarding way
of life. The kibbutz provides for all the social, cultural and
educational needs of the individual or family, as well as
serving as employer. Both husbands and wives will be em-
ployed in the kibbutz.
Eligibility
College graduates and professionals, ages 21-35, who are
skilled in an area needed by an Israeli kibbutz, are eligible.
to apply. Single people, married couples and families with
