Commission Adopts Statement
on Teaching Zionism, Israel

NEW YORK — The Na-
tional Commission on the
Teaching of Zionism and Is-
rael has adopted a declara-
tion of principles and objec-
tives, which will form the
basis of curricular develop-
ment and teacher training
programs the commission
has undertaken in selected
Jewish schools and com-
munities across the coun-
try.
Pointing to the unity of
the Jewish people as one of
the essential constituents of
the Zionist program, the
declaration focuses on the
centrality of Israel in
Jewish national life; the
ingathering of the Jewish
people in its historic home-
land; the realization in the
state of Israel of the prophe-
tic vision of social justice

and peace; the preservation
of the Jewish people
through the fostering of
Jewish education; and the
protection of Jewish rights
everywhere.
Sponsored by the Ameri-
can Association for Jewish
Education and the World
Zionist Organization-
American Section's De-
partments of Education and
Culture and Torah Educa-
tion, the commission has al-
ready helped to develop cur-
ricula which may be used by
all three religious denomi-
nations for students in the
elementary and high school
grades.
An experimental pro-
gram utilizing eight
schools in seven cities
has already tested the
approach and some of the
teaching materials on
Zionism and Israel.
The Reform group has
been dealing with music for
the elementary grades and
has been testing original
song material about leading
Zionist personalities; the
Conservative units have
developed and tested cur-
ricula for elementary day
schools, preparing them for
publication; and the Or-
thodox schools are working
on the junior high and high
school levels.
Materials being utilized
for the program include

Attacks on Israel Expected
at Upcoming UN Assembly

UNITED NATIONS
(JTA) — The United Na-
tions General Assembly
which opens Sept. 19 will
devote a major part of its
time to the Mideast conflict
and its ramifications. As in
previous years, Israel is
likely to come under heavy
fire from the Arabs and
their supporters.
According to the pro-
visional agenda of the up-
coming 33rd session of the
Assembly, the situation in
the Mideast and the "Ques-
tion of Palestine," which are
listed as items 30 and 31,
respectively, on the agenda
will come up for debate dur-
ing the first weeks of the
Assembly.
The Mideast debate will
center around a report by
Secretary General Kurt
Waldheim and the debate
on the question of Palestine
will discuss the report of the
Committee on the Exercise
of the Inalienable Rights of
the Palestinian People
which was branded by Is-

rael as anti-Israeli and
one-sided.

"Independent Jewish
creativity, in the sphere of
thought or in the sphere of
daily life and action is im-
possible for Israel, except in
the Land of Israel."

Immigration Change Is Due

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
joint government-Jewish
Agency coordinating body
will convene under the
chairmanship of Premier
Menahem Begin next
month to re-apportion re-
sponsibility for immigra-
tion and absorption. The
meeting will take place
nearly two years after the
Horev Commission report
revealed innumerable prob-
lems regarding the immi-
gration framework in Is-
rael.
Leon Dulzin, chairman of
the Jewish Agency and
World Zionist Organization
Executives, said following
an Agency Executive meet-
ing that "I have asked the
Premier in the most
friendly manner not to force
us to turn this issue (immi-
gration and absorption) into
a public battle."
The deadline for a deci-
sion on re-apportionment is

c7)

the Executive's meeting due
to be held Sept. 18-20.
Dulzin had met with
Begin last week to dis-
cuss the subject of immi-
gration and absorption.
He reportedly cautioned
the Premier that the situ-
ation was being aggra-
vated by the govern-
ment's delays in deciding
a framework for immi-
gration and absorption.
Dulzin, meanwhile, has
proposed that the Jewish
Agency be given exclusive
authority to deal with im-
migrants on a day-to-day
basis. He is due to meet with
Absorption Minister David
Levy and Jewish Agency
aliya chairman Raphael
Kotlowitz to further discuss
the immigration and ab-
sorption situation and how
to deal with this in the fu-
ture in preparation for the
establishment of the coor-
dinating body.
