National Media Center Urged for Jewish Family Life Education
NEW YORK—The National
Council on Adult Jewish Edu-
cation has urged the estab-
lishment of a national re-
source center to disseminate
information and materials on
Jewish family life experi-
ences.
The proposal was one of
several recommendations
made at an exploratory con-
ference here on ways to pro-
mote Jewish education in the
family setting.
Julius Schatz, chairman of
the Council, said the confer-
ence was convened to deter-
mine how the Jewish com-
munity can best counteract
what has become "a steady
erosion in Jewish family
life."
While a number of Jewish
organizations have begun to
initiate educational programs
"in which the family is the
Prayer has its role at the central focus, the Jewish
front. Here, a hasid helps a community over-all has

Israelis Alter
Territory Stand
JERUSALEM — "W e r e
doves in this tank. The hawks
are over in the next one,"
Jerusalem Post reporter Ab-
raham Rabinovich was told
on the Golan Heights.
This tongue-in-cheek re-
mark is reflective of the di-
vided feelings of Israelis, but
a recent poll by Prof. Louis
Guttman, director of the Is-
rael Institute of Applied So-
cial Research, discloses that
there are changes in the pub-
lic's attitude toward the ter-
ritories.
The poll, conducted by the
Institute and the Communi-
cations Instiute of Hebrew
University, queried 600 ur-
ban residents above age 20.
Its more significant finding
was that only 11 per cent of
those polled said that they
did not believe Israel should
give up a single inch of terri-
tory. During the second week
of the war 52 per cent had
responded similarly.
In October, 27 per cent
thought Israel should agree
to relinquish some of the ter-
ritories; now this figure in-
creased to 48 per cent.
Only about 12 per cent of
the population agreed that
Israel should give up "all,"
the territories or "almost all,
with slight adjustments."
This figure is slightly higher
than it was earlier.
Among the poll's other
findings: Some 71 per cent
of the population do not be-
lieve the peace conference
will result in a real peace in
the coming months. More
than 50 per cent now be-
lieve the present cease fire
will end in renewed fighting
(seven per cent fewer thought
so a week earlier).
Only 16 per cent believe the
more territory Israel gives
back, the greater will be the
Arabs' readiness for a serious
approach to peace.
About five per cent of the
population believe the Arab
countries are definitely ready
to discuss a real peace with
Israel. Another 44 per cent
said this was "perhaps" the
case when interviewed by
pollers.
Although most Israelis do
not believe Arab readiness
for peace is a function of Is-
raeli territorial concessions,
there is a growing readiness
since the outbreak of the
Yom Kippur war to withdraw
from some of the territories,
especially parts of Sinai.

programming a priority con-
cern," he said.
Participants at the confer-
ence also recommended:
• Publication of special
materials on Jewish family
life to help facilitate its in-
tegration into the curricula
of Jewish school s, adult
education groups and exist-
ing Jewish studies programs
at colleges and universities.
• Studies and conferences
that would probe the impact
of changing societal patterns
on Jewish family life.
• Encouragement of Israel
group study tours comprised
of family units; also, of pro-
grams which would enable
American Jewish families to
have their children Bar.. and
Bat-Mitzvahed in Israel.
• The convening of further
conferences, seminars and
workshops — on both the
national and regional level—
which would focus on the
problems of the Jewish fam-
ily and serve as program-
matic clearing houses.
