1.000 to Join Soviet Jewry Conclave

alike will have to be shown that
Israel's right to survival is axio-

human justice but in America's
long-range interest as well," de-
clared Rabbi Henry Skirball, direc-
tor of the National Federation of
Temple Youth, in his keynote ad-
dress at the fifth annual conference
of the North American Jewish
Youth Council, at Camp Moshava,
Pa., last week.
Some 150 representatives from
25 national Jewish youth organiza-
tions and 30 local Jewish youth
councils throughout the U. S. and
Canada attended the meeting.
In his address on "Three Fronts
and the NAJYC Response: Israel,
Soviet Jewry and the American
Jewish Community," Skirball alert-
ed the delegates to the growing
danger to Israel's security and
called for renewed support and
show of solidarity of American
Jewish youth with Israel.
A major part of Rabbi Skir-
ball's address was dedicated
to the situation of the Jews in
the Soviet Union. He stressed the
need for expanded activities on
behalf of Soviet Jews in the
American Jewish community, as
well as for more visits of Ameri-
can Jewish youth to Soviet Rus-
sia.
