Vocational Training Revolutionizes Arab Woman's Role ,
By BURTON M. HALPERN
(Copyright 1971. JTA, Inc.)
TEL AVIV — Three years ago
Lilly's husband, Moussa, of East
Jerusalem, was sure of two things
—a woman's place is in the home
and the Israelis are the enemies
of the Arab people. Now he's not
so sure on either score.
Mouusa, along with thousands of
other Christian and Moslem hus-
bands and fathers, are not only
enjoying an improved standard of
living due to higher wages under
the Israeli government, but they
are now beginning to nod approv-
ingly at vocational training pro-
grams for their daughters and
wives.
In a modern studio not far from
the Damascus Gate, about 25 girls
are intensively studying the art of
sewing for garment factories and
home contracting, while a similar
group learns the lucrative trade of
hairdressing. They represent the
latest cycle of vocational students
in Pioneer Women's East Jerusa-
lem Center. The Arab Women's
Center opened less than a year
after the Six-Day War and has
done much to revolutionize wom-
en's life in the Old City.
According to an Arab repre-
pleted, many times the present which includes more than 1,000
number of Arab girls will benefit institutions and advisory projects
from the Pioneer Women voca- serving Jewish families, including
tional training. new immigrants, throughout Israel.
The vocational training in East Other Arab women's clubs are

sentative of the Igrael Labor
office, a former Jordanian gov-
ernment official, there are few
families in East Jerusalem
where the wife or daughters are
not now taking advantage of
these vocational training courses.
While the Jordanian social wel-
fare department stressed philan-
thropy under the Israelis, not
only are wages almost triple
their former level, but training
is being made available to help
people help themselves by acquir-
ing new skills which are in de-
mand by industry.
Mrs. Violet Batat, Baghdad-born
graduate of the Hebrew Univer-
sity in Jerusalem, heads a dedi-
cated group of Arabic-speaking
Israeli teachers who have found
a common language of progress
and friendship with the 'girls they
teach in the East Jerusalem
courses. Pioneer Women conducts
29 other such Arab women courses
throughout Israel.
The relatively new East Jerusa-
lem program, it was noted by Mrs.
Batat, who is in charge of the
Arab women's section of Pioneer
Women, has attracted more than
BOO girls who attend lectures, go
on picnics and tours throughout
Israel, and attend instructional
courses. She anticipates that when
a planned new center to be built
by the city of Jersusalem is corn-
Target of 'Jewish Mother'
Critics Really Judaism?
NEW YORK (JTA)—An Omaha
Jewish educator has suggested that
the real target of critics of the
Jewish mother is not that image
but rather Judaism "and the values
in our civilization that have their
origin in Judaism." Mrs. Myer S.
Kripke said the Jewish mother
was "revered and loved for her
piety. Today, piety is regarded
with scorn and derision. The Jew-
ish mother was known for her
chastity. Today, the value of chas-
tity is questioned. Once the Jew-
ish mother was the symbol of the
hearth and home. Today, home is
precisely what young people are
eager to escape."
Denouncing those who have "pen-
ciled the mustache of criticism"
on the image of the Jewish moth-
er, she said that that mother was
a person who "out of deep love,
constant concern and a very real
sense of responsibility," seeks to
assure "the welfare of her chil-
dren," and asked, in effect, "what's
wrong with thatr.!
