Hillel Official Cites Spiritual Probing
of Youth and Fears Loss of Tradition
NEW YORK (JTA) — A lead-
ing Hillel official has expieised
concern that some of the forms of
innovative worship developed and
used by young Jews may be relig-
iously inauthentic, un-Jewish and
lead to a new sectarianism.
Informal Jewish Studies
Set Up at Rochester U.
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (JTA) — A
group of Jewish students, under
sponsorship of the Hillel Founda-
tion of Rochester University, has
— started a Free School of Jewish
Studies at the university, a 13-
course curriculum drawn up in re-
sponse to student indications of
interest in such studies.
When the students found they
could not get quick action from the
university administration for such
a program, they began to seek out
faculty members and other sources
of help to organize their own
courses.
Robert Ganz, the student co-
ordinator, said that because the
courses were noncredit, "we are
free from the procedures and
standards" of the university ad-
ministration. Accordingly, he
said, the free school can offer
courses meeting only a few
times during the semester, need
not hold examinations and can
"work at a pace that the stu-
dents and their teacher set up
themselves."
He said there was no charge for
the courses and that each class
would decide on academic stand-
ards and requirements for the
class members.

Those fears were expressed by
Dr. Alfred Jospe, director of plan-
ning and programing for the
Bnai Brith Hillel Foundation. He
spelled out his views in an article
in the current issue of the Journal
of the Central Conference of Am-
erican Rabbis, the Reform rabbini-
cal association of which he is a
member.
Citing evidence that "a new re-
ligious intensity" was developing
among American youth, including
Jewish youth, Dr. Jospe declared
that this approach "rejects the
standard forms of worship and re-
ligious expression." It does seem,
he said, "to reflect a genuine re-
ligious quest and, in some in-
stances, actually possesses all of
the elements of a religion which
go with the counter-culture that
has developed among a substantial
segment of the nation's youth."
Some experiments, he report-
ed, involve a multi-media ap-
proach. Others involve experi-
ments with jazz music and
masses; calls to worship accom-
panied by a guitar; dancing on
the pulpit; sitting in concentric
circles on the floor; long periods
of silent meditation; prayers
taken from newspaper headlines,
or reflecting on them; and chang-
ing light effects.
Some observers and many par-
ticipants, he added, "feel that the
rejection of the conventional form
and symbols of religion does not
imply rejection of religious faith
itself but simply constitutes a
search for new ways of expressing
it more meaningfully."
High School Program
to Bring 100 to Israel
NEW YORK (JTA)—A secondary
school program in Israel for nearly
100 American 10th and 11th grade
students will be held during the
1971-72 academic year at two
kibutzim in the Galilee area, it
was announced by Dr. Emanuel
Rackman, chairman of the ad-
visory committee of the American
section of the education and cul-
ture department of the Jewish
Agency.
The participating collectives will
be the Huleh Valley regionil high
school at Kfar Blum and the Kvut-
zat Shaal at Karmiel, he said.
Kfar Blum, a farm collective,
will be open to 10th graders.
KvutIat Shaal; an urban kibutz,
will be open to 11th graders. Dr.
Rackman added both schools are
fully accredited by American high
schools, so returning students can
get credits toward their high school
degrees at home_
Rabbi Rackman said that the
next academic year will mark
