We Jews have a more
pressing responsibility f o r
our lives and beliefs than
perhaps any other religious
community.
Don't shelter yourself in
any course of action by the
idea that "it is not my af-
fair." It is your affair, but
it is also mine and the com-
munity's. Nor can we neglect
the world beyond. A fierce
light beats upon the Jew. It
is a grave responsibility this
— to be a Jew; and you can-
not escape from it, even if
you choose to ignore it.
Ethically or religiously, we
Jews can be and do nothing
lightheartedly. Ten bad Jews
may help to damn us; 10
good Jews may help to save
us. Which minyan will you
join? — Claude G. Monte-
fiore, Cambridge (1900).

`Marginal Youth' Get a Crack at Life
By YEHUDA SVORAY
Special JTA Correspondent
TEL AVIV — Israel's
"Black Panther" movement
has become markedly quiet
in recent months. The de-
monstrations and the fiery
speeches have subsided and
clashes with police seem to
have receded.
Possibly. Hope lies in the
fact that Israel's public has
became aware of the prob-
lem of an underprivileged
Israel, of pockets of "mar-
ginal youth" in slums and
half-forgotten quarters on the
brink of delinquency.
The Jewish Agency has re-
cently decided to increase
its part in the education of
this "marginal youth." In
the beginning of 1972, the
Board of Governors of the
Jewish Agency approved a
budget of IL 800,000 ($200,-
000) to permit the launch-
ing of various projects deal-
ing with problems of this
"youth in distress."
