Shlikhim Group
at U.S. Centers
Is Biggest Yet
NEW YORK—A total of 16
Israeli communal workers
(shlikhim)—the largest group
of new workers to arrive in
one season—are joining the
staffs of American Jewish
community centers and YM-
YWHAs this fall for two- to
three-year periods of service
under a program sponsored
by the National Jewish Wel-
fare Board (JWB), the youth
and hehalutz department of
the World Zionist Organiza-
tion (WZO) and the Ameri-
can Zionist Youth Founda-
tion.
The Israelis have been re-
cruited for work in North
American centers and Ys in
an effort to enhance Jewish
programing and strengthen
Jewish identification.
Now in its ninth year, the
program has proven to be
an effective means of en-
riching the Jewish dimension
of center programing.
The 16 shlikhim include
Emanuel Allon of Detroit.
He who passes judgment
on fools is himself judged io
be a fool.
—Petiheta Ekah Rabbati

Happy New Year!
