12 U.S. 'Interns for Peace'
Leaving for Israel in Oct.
NEW YORK (JTA) —
After more than two years
of preparations, 12 young
American Jewish men and
women will leave for Israel
next month to begin their
21/2 year internship of living
and working in Arab vil-
lages and Jewish com-
munities in the Haifa dis-
trict.
The program, called
Interns for Peace, was con!
ceived by a group of Israeli
Arabs and Jews who have
been active in the field of
Arab-Jewish relations in Is-
rael.
According to Rabbi Bruce
Cohen, the director of the
program, the project will
start next month with a
six-month training period
on Kibutz Barkai. "During
their two-year internship,
the interns will live in rural
Israeli Arab villages, and
later on in Jewish corn-
munities," Cohen said.
The interns, Cohen
added, will initiate or
strengthen programs in
pre-natal care, pre-
school child care, child
development, adolescent
recreation, pre-college
preparation, geriatric
care and community de-
velopment.
The program is aimed at
achieving further coopera-
tion and understanding be-
tween the Jewish and Arab
communities of Israel, to
advance the chances of
peace in the Mideast, Cohen
said.
According to Cohen, the
program is "an independent
human relations program"
and is not affiliated with
any political party and plat-
form. The program, how-
ever, received assistance in
Israel from Mapam's Kib-
butz Artzi and its Arab-
Jewish Center of Givat
Haviva, and the Menashe
Regional College in con-
junction with Haifa Univer-
sity.
