war is a turning point in
which educators must play
a major role.
It is up to them to impart
to students a set of values
that would have to sustain
them in years to come. "Our
self-image as a conquering
nation has been shattered,"
he says. "The war has shown
that we are fighting with our
back to the wall—and so it
will be for a long, long time.
Our youth must be made
aware of this.
"The key lies in building

up your identity as Jews,"
he adds. "If we are staying
here in spite of the dangers,
it is because we are carrying
out our historical tradition
and values."
Consequently, the study of
Zionism and Jewish history,
which was never a very
strong element in Israeli ed-
ucation, must be intensified.
This is one of the firm les-
sons of the war. It must pro-
vide' the answers as to why
the Jews have struggled to
establish a state in this part
of the world. And, in fact, a
stronger Jewish conscious-
ness is already apparent
among young Israelis. Said
one high-school senior:
"Up to now, Israeli history
was grasped by us as 25
years of the state, and may-
be 50 years of settlement in
Palestine. Now we think in
much broader terms. This
was is not only the fourth or
fifth war of the state, but
the 100th or so in 3,000 years
of Jewish history."

Bar-Ban Lectures
Go to the Front
RAMAT-GAN — Bar-Ilan
University is helping one of
i t s mobilized lecturers to
start an accredited university
course at the front lines.
Three or four lecturers in
widely divergent fields spend
several days at the Egyptian
front appearing before sold-
iers in the field. The subjects
vary from law, to philosophy,
chemistry and Talmud. Prof.
Arnold Enker of the law fac-
ulty lectured on crimes of
passion to soldiers at the
abandoned gambling casino
of the city of Suez, only 100
yards from the front lines.
An accredited course at the
front lines began two weeks
before the official opening of
t h e country's universities,
when a lecturer in Talmud
managed to loCate 10 Bar-Ilan
students in his own battalion
and began giving them an
intensive course in talmudic
literature, wit h university
approval.
At the university campus
itself, 70 per cent of the reg-
ular student body of 6,700
students showed up when
studies began at the end of
December.

which had no appeal for self-
assured Israelis will prob-
ably be seen in a new per-
spective. One teacher put it
this way in the meeting: "We
don't need new values. Ra-
ther, we must bring out ele-
ments which have existed in
our tradition all along. For
example, I'm teaching to iuy
students about passive hero-
ism and martyrdom, and not
only active heroism."
The issue is to prepare stu-
dents to face hardship. Ga-
briel Knoller, coordinator of
the upper classes at the Reali
School, is convinced that the
armed struggle between Is-
rael and her neighbors will
continue. "If this is so," he
says, "our students must be
emotionally prepared for it."

Gas Masks Issued
to Israeli Soldiers
TEL AVIV (ZINS)—Israeli
troops on the front lines have
been supplied with gas masks
for protection against the
use of poison gas by Egyptian
and Syrian forces if fighting
is resumed.
This followed intelligence
reports that the Arabs had
stocked quantities of poison
gas, and had supplied their
own men with gas masks,
protective chemicals and full
instructions in chemical war-
fare.
