satisfied 'me-ism' to com-
munity 'we-ism'."

Resolutions
adopted alerting mem-
bers to anti-Semitism and
to speak out against man-
ifestations of all injustice
and bigotry. The dele-
gates approved another
resolution which urged _-
on-going communica-
tions with leaders of
blabk and Hispan
minority groups.
The delegates urged the
United States government
"to give high priority to
seeking out and prosecuting
Nazi war criminals residing
in the United States."
The delegates also urged
the United States govern-
ment "to give high priority
to seeking out and prosecut-
ing Nazi war criminals re-
siding in the United
States."
The delegates also urged
the United States govern-
ment to recognize united
Jerusalem as the capital of
Israel and to move its em-
bassy from Tel Aviv to
Jerusalem. They also urged
the Israel government to
recognize the validity of
Conservative Judaism.
Michigan Branch mem-
bers were the recipients of
awards at the women's con-
vention. Toby Dolinka of
Grand Rapids was recog-
nized for her handicraft de-
sign of the Michigan Branch

"We are also charged with
the task of turning the tide
of family fragmentation,
creating in its place a family
restoration," she said. "In
the words of the late Dr.
Solomon Schecter, chancel-
lor of the Jewish Theologi-
cal Seminary of America,
`leaders become influential
among their contem-
poraries only by teaching
and living an examplary
life.' We must become a
Judaically knowledgeable
laity, rather than Jews
whose ties are only cultural
and social."
Speaking of problems
within Jewish families,
Mrs. Kweller, at an ear-
lier session suggested a
return to "strong family
life, the high standards of
family and personal
morality which have
been our strength and
support, and have helped
us survive."
She also remarked that
"particularly in an era of
feminism, we must make
ourselves role models, by
our actions demonstrating
our conviction that the
Jewish tradition, which has
always had a strong family
life, has to be our top prior-
ity."
Referring to the role of
Conservative Judaism in
Israel, Mrs. Kweller said
that "the steady growth in
the number of our congrega-
tions in Israel, despite the
roadblocks set up by the
chief rabbinate, is 'hearten-
ing."
In the past two years, ties

JERUSALEM — Israeli
soldiers used tear gas and
rubber bullets to quell an
Arab student demonstra-
tion near Bir Zeit Univer-
sity on Monday. Soldiers ar-
rested 24 students for
throwing rocks and block-
ing roads near the campus
with stone barricades and
tires.
Unrest on the West Bank
broke out last week. Rock-
throwing incidents led to
the wounding of 10 Arab
students last week.
The clashes betwen Arab
youths and Israeli troops
were precipitated by the
Military Government's
order shutting down Bir
Zeit University for seven
days in order to enforce a
ban on "Palestine Week,"
an annual campus- event.
The Israeli authorities con-
tended that "Palestine
Week" is a political man-
ifestation aimed at provok-
ing Palestinian nationalist
and anti-Israel sentiments.
A statement by the stu-
dent council and faculty
association insisted it
was a "purely cultural
event." The statement
said, It is political, if at
all, only in the inevitable
but harmless sense that it
is Palestinian rather than
voodoo or Budhist or
Jewish." It was to includ
exhibitions of paintii
drawings, folklore, danc-
ing and lectures on Pales-
tinian life, the statement
said.
On Tuesday, soldiers
fired into another demon-
stration after a policeman
was hit in the head with a
rock.
