The selection of a group
of community workers who
will live and work in Is-
raeli-Arab villages for two
years, in an effort to bring
Israeli Arabs and Jews
closer together, is now
under way with the goal of
selecting 12 Americans and
raising enough funds for the
projected January 1978 de-
parture to Israel, Rabbi
Bruce Cohen, North Ameri-
can coordinator of "Interns
for Peace" said recently.
A group of 12 Americans
and four Israelis will serve
as community workers in
the areas of health care,
education and youth pro-
gramming, the 31-year-old
Reform rabbi said. He
added: "We are augment-
ing the existing community
service programs. We will
not be taking the jobs
Arabs do...We won't be
school teachers." Rather,
the interns will tutor stu-
dents in English and other
subjects, work on after
school recreation programs
and serve as paramedics
and therapists, and offer
help to the villagers in
other health-related fields.
Rabbi Cohen emphasized
that the goal of the project
is not so much to radically
change the existing commu-
nity service facilities in the
Arab villages, which he ac-
knowledged as being
deficient, but rather to fos-
ter good relations between
the Arab villagers and the
neighboring Jewish commu-
nities. "It's definitely not a
Peace Corps. We won't be
working in the fields," he
said, adding, "This is a
human relations program.
The purpose of going into
the villages is to increase
Jewish-Arab relations with-
in Israel."
So far, three interns have
been selected. Prior to the
actual work experience, the
interns will train for six
months at Kibutz Barkai,
Rabbi Cohen said. While
working on the kibutz they
will study Hebrew and Arab-
ic. They will also attend
Israeli Reservists
Join Combat Units
JERUSALEM
—
Thousands of Israeli re-
servists serving in non-
combat units of the Israel
Defense Forces have re-
cently volunteered to join
combat units. They are
citizens below age 39 who
were previously serving
their annual reserve duty
in non-combat service
units.
In the reorganization
of the IDF since the Yom
Kippur War, reservists in
this age category have ,
been approached to con-
side• duty in front-line
units. Those under 34 are
being transfered to com-
bat units and those up to
:39 years of age are being
assigned to field support
units.
seminars on Jewish-Arab re-
lations which will be held
at the Arab-Jewish Center
of Givat Haviva (sponsored
by the Kibutz Artzi move-
ment), and the Menashe Re-
gional College (run by
Haifa University).
After the work-study peri-
od, the interns will spend
one month in the Arab vil-
lage of Ibilin, near Haifa.
As a group they plan to
work on community center
projects for the Arab vil-
lages in the upper Galilee.
Then the two years of
community work begins.
The interns will be split
into groups of four (three
North Americans and one
Israeli) and be sent to dif-
ferent Arab yillages located
in the western Galilee and
a central-coastal region be-
tween Tel Aviv and Haifa
known as the "Little
Triangle."
"These Arabs view them-
selves as citizens of the
Jewish state. They want
what Jews did for other
communities (in Israel),"
Rabbi Cohen said. He dis-
played letters of support for
the project from Israeli
Arab community leaders.
Women with experience
in child development, psy-
chology, home economics
and home crafts have been
requested by the Arab vil-
lages to work with the Arab
women, he said. Although
the Arab men generally
speak Hebrew, the Arab
women have received less
education and many can
only speak Arabic. As a re-
sult, the women interns will
generally have more need
of being able to speak Arab-
ic than the men interns, he
said.
The interns will regroup
at least once a week to
"reinforce each other," and
they will be able to travel
frequently and will have the
Artzi kibutzim at their dis-
posal.
Even though the Artzi Id-
butz movement is ideologi-
cally non-religious, Rabbi
Cohen said the interns will
be able to keep kosher
Man comes to the world
with grasping hands, in-
dicating: all the world be-
longs to me: but abandons
it with outstretched hands,
indicating: I have not taken
anything with me from the
world.
—The Talmud
while at Kibutz Barkai, and
added that the three interns
already selected plan to do
'so. The program's associ-
ation with Artzi is not
rooted in any ideological af-
finity, he said, but rather in
the fact that Artzi has for
some time been active in
Arab-Jewish relations, with
ventures such as the Givat
Haviva facility.
