Israeli Summer Tours
for Foot-Loose Students

NEW YORK—Operation Joshua,
a unique summer Program in Is-
rael run by and for college stu-
dents, began its second year last
weekend. The program is designed
as an inexpensive and yet inform-
ative way in which a student can
get to know Israel in depth.
A special project of the Student
Coordinating Committee for the
Israel Emergency Fund (SCCIEF),
the Operation Joshua tours take
college students to kibutzim along
the Beit Shean valley, to immi-
grant absorption centers, develop-
ment towns and other areas in-
dicative of Israeli life today.
The one-day trips are run on
Sunday through Wednesday —
from July 4 to Aug. 19 — and
originate from both Tel Aviv
and Jerusalem. For three dol-
lars, a student can participate
in a day's tour (including lunch)
and then attend one of the spe-
cial Thursday briefing sessions
conducted by prominent Israelis.
Operation Joshua is open to any
American college student. Once a
student has arrived in Israel, he
can obtain more information or
register by phoning Jerusalem —

kind if they were given their de-
sires.—Heraclitus.
