Re-shaping Goals By BARBIE ZELIZER JERUSALEM (JTA) — The head of the World Zionist Organization's youth and hehalutz de- partment contends that Jewish youth must look be- yond their movement affili- ations and focus on the one basis commitment which unites them — Zionism. Avraham Katz, depart- ment head and Likud (Lib- eral) Knesseter, observed "It is imperative that the 12 percent of world Jewish youth who belong to Zionist youth movements unite above and beyond their specific loyalties to their movements. The depart- ment will assist in this ap- proach by having move- ment emissaries simul- taneously serve more than one youth movement during their two-year stints abroad." The move, Katz acknowl- edges, has in part been necessitated by the severe budget cuts recently im- posed on the department, resulting in a 20 percent re- duction in the number of emissaries who can be sent abroad by the department each year. (These emis- saries include both those sent to represent the 11 different youth movements as well as th6se who serve Jewish federations and community centers.) Moreover, at present, " Katz says, the limited emis- sary personnel is not being fully utilized. He cites the recent transfer of a Habonim (Labor youth movement) emissary from Santiago, Chile, where he served along with three other representatives from his movement, to Buenos Aires, where Habonim was not represented at all. "The department must see to it that there is a logi- cal distribution of emis- saries," he notes. "And we must be realistic and send the emissaries to the places in which they will be most successful." Katz has plans for the ex- pansion of the department's Jerusalem leadership insti- tute for youth (which brings youth from abroad for lead- ership training in Israel), the building of a third lead- ership school in Paris (in addition to those already es- tablished in Jerusalem and Buenos Aires), and the in- stitution of a centralized unit for screening emissary applicants which will supervise from Jerusalem the individuals selected for emissary work abroad. The leadership institute, meanwhile, is the only sec- tion of the department whose budget has not been cut. Another major activity of the youth and hehalutz de- partment is what it calls "mifalei Hakaitz," or short- term summer programs for high school youth. These constitute an important way of introducing teena- gers to Israel. Friday, September 21, 1979 91 MOT (Maintenance of ORT Training) supports ORT's top level high school Katz stresses the pro- gram's "educational dimen- sion," which acquaints the participants with historical aspects of the country and introduces them to Israeli youth, with whom they work side by side for a two- week period. This year, some 8,000 teenagers vis- ited Israel through the summer programs. One of the most -sensitive issues among department 'staff members since Katz assumed his position last year (meanwhile stepping out of the running for the chairmanship of his party's Knesset caucus), has been whether or not he would exercise his power to influ- ence the department along Likud's ideological line. Katz is vehement in his denial of any such conten- tion. "Nonsense," he ob- serves, noting that any al- leged reconstitution of the movement emissaries in favor of the Likud-aligned youth movements is out of the question. The proportionate con- stitution of the movement emissaries is determined according to an established key, fixed according to each movement's size and poten- tial influence." Indeed, a recently-drafted emissary index which con- veys the extent to which the number of movement emis- saries will be reduced, shows that these proposed reductions are proportion- ate to ratios followed in the past. Katz runs the department together with his director general, Shimshon Zeevi. Zeevi, who lived for many years in Texas, where he worked informally in the field of Jewish education, was brought back to Israel specifically for his new job. "I know Israel best," says Katz. "And I needed some- one with skills which could , complement mine. Zeevi is well acquainted with the problem and character of the largest Jewish commu- nity in the world, and that is very important. After all, the role of the youth and hehalutz department is to serve everyone who works with Jewish youth through- , out the world." . and junior college courses with teachers, training materials and equipment.
