New 'Youth Mobilization for Israel'
to Involve Thousands in Election
for Delegates to Zionist Congress

NEW YORK—Sixteen seminars,
to be held in major U.S. cities
December through February, will
launch the National Youth Mobi-
lization for Israel, which will ap-
proach tens of thousands of Jewish
youth, age 16-24, and ask them to
commit themselves to Israel "and
its national liberation movement,
Zionism."
Jeffrey Maas, coordinator of
Youth Mobilization for Israel. said
the committee hopes to attain a
large enrollment so that the forth-
coming World Zionist Congress
will have a substantial delegation
of young people participating in
its decisions.
Young American Jews, who
will sign a declaration support-
ing the Jerusalem Program of
the World Zionist Congress, will
be eligible to vote in the special
youth elections for the World
Zionist Congress next year. Thus,
said Maas, "they will contribute
to the democratization el the
World Zionist movement which
was a major demand raised by
student delegates at the last
Zionist Congress in 1968 and at
subsequent sessions of the Zion-
ist Actions Committee.
Students will remit the signed

declaration, together with a small
registration fee to help defer the
cost of the elections and contribute
to new youth projects.
The Jerusalem Program, adopt-
ed by the 27th World Zionist Con-
gress in June 1968, has defined the
aims of Zionism as the unity of
the Jewish people and the central.
ity of Israel in its life, the in-
gathering of the Jewish people
through aliya; strengthening of the
state: preservation of the identity
of the Jewish people through edu-
cation and Jewish spiritual and
cultural values; and protection of
Jewish rights everywhere.
The 16 ideological seminars are
planned by the American Zionist
Youth Council in cooperation with
the Youth Mobilization for Israel.

Some 4,000 high school students
from throughout the country are

The pilot program will take stu-

porary highlights will be a study
of smog control at General Mo-
tors and a visit to Appalachia.
According to Paul Smith, local
AITS coordinator, the professional
services of a certificated high
school teacher will be provided on
a 24-hour basis throughout the
entire trip. Teachers will be sup-
plemented in each itinerary city
and campus by a staff of graduate
student members of the Youth
Travel Division, who will assist in

sors of the dorms, also on a 24-

oil. Her special Interests are piano and
Ice skating.)

This Sunday, between 12:30 and
3 p.m., our students will hold their
third Akiva Torah Box drive at
various shopping centers in Oak
Park and Southfield. The student
council and Frank - Leiderman
have helped arrange this project.
The spirit of the kids is just re-
markable. Many kids, especially
from fifth grade and up, have vol-
unteered to help our school. They
do their jobs with enthusiasm and
purpose.
In the last two drives, we
retied over 3200. Many parents
help by driving us to the shop-
ping centers and supervising the
students.
After the Torah Box drive, we'll
enjoy hot chocolate and cake back
at the school. Each student will
also receive a receipt of how much
he collected. I'm sure, with the
community's help, that we'll be
very proud of our success this
year.

Them _ e Week Puts
Beth Jacob Girls
to Creative Test

The annual "theme week" has
just been concluded at Beth Jacob
School.
Sabbath and the honoring of
father and mother were the themes
developed by two contesting teams,
in which the entire student body of
the intermediate and high school
department participated.
Much research by the girls went
into the development of these
themes, in the form of drawings,
poetry, music and drama. Educa-
tors and laymen acted as judges in
evaluating the work.
Libby Finkelstein was head of
the Sabbath team, assisted by
Nechama Freedman. Esther Mittle-
man, assisted by Helen Mermel-
stein, headed the opposing team.
Theme week has been an annual
activity for the past 12 years at
Beth Jacob School.
Rabbi Sholom Goldstein, princi-
pal, said that this activity gives
every girl an opportunity to do
something creative in any area in
which she has an inclination. It
also develops a sense of commu-
nity responsibility, as well as
school spirit and good sportsman-
ship, be said. .

By STEVE MATTLER
For the second time, Hillel Day
School's football team defeated
Akiva Day School by the slim
margin of 12.6. The main factor
in the low scoring game was the
gusty wind and the very cold
weather.
The severe weather, however,
didn't stop some 50 spectators
from watching and cheering the
