Radical Students Admit Ignorance And Organize Own Judaica School

By BEN GALLOB

(Copyright 1970, JTA. Inc.)

A group of radical Jewish stu-
dents, seeking to organize them-
selves to fight injustice as Jews.
decided that, to do so, they needed
to know more about Judaism in an
acknowledgement that their sense
of identity as Jews was shaky. As
a first step, they agreed to a sug-
gestion from a Jewish
center
official that they create a Free

University of Jewish studies. oper-
ating in the center but entirely

under the control of the students.
The identity struggle of the Jew-
ish students was reported by Saul
J. Farber, executive director of
the Valley Cities Jewish Commun-
ity Center in suburban Los
Angeles. The center is located
directly across the street from
Valley College, a two-year com-
munity college. The center houses
the Bnai Brith Hillel Foundation
serving the college. The ensuing
much greater involvement of the
center with the Jewish radicals
than with most of the school's
Jewish students was described by
Farber in a report in the Spring,
1970, issue of the Jewish Commun-
ity Center Program Aids, pub-
lished anarterly by the National
Jewish Welfare Board.
The encounter began when
some of the Jewish radicals met
with the executive director and
told him they had created a
"Jews for a Radical Society"
group. They asked for and were
given permission to hold their
meetings in the center. At the
first meeting, they told the direc-
tor about a program they had
conducted on the campus, corn-
memarating the Warsaw Ghetto

Uprising. Held in the campus
free-speech area, the program
featured poetry, reading, sing-
ing and speeches, hailing the re-
sistance of the Warsaw Ghetto
Jews against the Nazis. At the
close of the program, the Jewish
students paraded, wearing arm-
bands bearing the word "Jude."
They were joined by other stu-
dents, including some who were
not Jews.

The radicals told the director
that the program and the parade
had given them a feeling of iden-
tification as Jews which few of
them had known at any other time
of their life. They also indicated
"that they needed to know more
about Judaism since their own
sense of identity as Jews was
shaky," Farber reported.
At one of the early meetings of
the new radical group, a number
of Proposals for activities were
made. They decided to organize a
picket line against a local super-
market, purportedly owned by a
Jew, which was selling California
table grapes. The students wanted
to give direct support to the organ-
izing campaign of the United
Farm Workers Union. It was
agreed that the students pickets
would carry signs that it was "the
responsibility of Jews to support
the efforts of all oppressed people
to break the chains of their op-
pressions."

At that stage, the radicals still
had not dealt with the question
of future programs, and "the lack
of long-range goals and purposes
created considerable confusion."
Farber, who had been invited to
sit in on the meeting, chose that
point to suggest the idea of free
Judaica university. He pointed out
that comments of the student rad-
icals had indicated that in their
contacts with such groups as the
Black Student Union and the
United Mexican Association of Stu-
dents, "it had always been taken
for granted that the Jewish stu-
dents had a strong identity as
Jews," which in fact was not true.
He told the radicals that just as
Black and Mexican-American stu-
dents wanted ethnic study pro-
grams to learn about their cultur-
al heritage, "Jewish students
needed to know more about their
own heritage."

The 60 participants in the
meeting greeted the suggestion
with enthusiasm. Many admitted
they knew nothing about Juda-
ism and reported that this was
"a handicap" in their contacts
with other students. At the same
time they made it clear they
wanted a school program which
would be theirs and not the
creation of a group of adults"
associated with the Jewish cen-
ter, Hillel or any other Jewish
organization.
The executive director there-
upon proposed that the "free uni-
versity" be completely controlled
by the radical students and that
they "should set up the curricu-
lum, choose the faculty and the
place in which the classes or semi-
nars would be conducted." At the
second general meeting, both the
director and Farber gave assur-
ances that they would serve in the
Judaica school only when the radi-
cals asked them to.

Chicken in the Wrong Pot

Years ago, George Jessel was in-
vited to luncheon at the White
House with the then first lady of
the land, Eleanor Roosevelt. Jes-
se], of course, had a few remarks
to make at the conclusion of the
repast, pausing in his peroration
to observe, "Never in the history

The "silly question" is the first
initiation of some totally new de-
velopment.

of my long years of eating free

much celery in the chicken salad."
Mrs. FDR topped him with her
clearly audible aside, "I TOLD
that chef not to put any chicken
in Mr. Jessel's salad!"

efforts" must be -made by them.

Courses began in July and were
continued for ten week s, Far-
ber reported. Average enrollment
was 15 students per class. The
one on socialism and Judaism be-
gan with the largest enrollment
but it dwindled steadily. The other
three classes kept their enrollees.
Members began to ask that more
outside teachers be recruited as
they came to recognize that with-
out experts to teach, they were
merely "pooling ignorance." Such
requests increased each week and
the Jewish professionals at the
center and Hillel "fortunately were
able to 'deliver' sufficiently com-
petent guest lecturers and teach-
ers to help the classes to remain
stimulating and exciting." The
final result, the center official
said, was that the radicals de-
cided they "wanted more courses,
offered in a more systematic
way."
A core group of the Jewish radi-
cals plans to renew the free uni-
versity in the fall, he reported,
with the same four courses. They
have also agreed that the courses
"need to be structured with a more
specific curriculum and with spe-
cific faculty to handle material
with which the students are not
familiar." He disclosed that a con-
census had emerged among the
young radicals that Jewish identi-
