Israeli Psychoanalysts Mark 50th Anniversary

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The Israel Psychoanalytic
Society recently celebrated
its 50th anniversary, and
the European
Psychoanalytical Federa-
tion marked the occasion by
holding its fifth conference
in Jerusalem and publish-
ing a "festive" issue of the

try and the Related Sci-
ences" devoted to a "historic
overview of the
psychoanalytic movement
in Palestine and Israel."
Prof. Dan Hertz, the
president of the Society and
the director of the Psychia-
try Clinic at the
Hadassah-Hebrew Univer-
sity Medical Center, said
that Israel's psychoanalysts
believe that this is a
nationwide milestone.
"In fact," he said, "an
interest in psychoanalysts
preceded the founding of the
Society by several decades.
Max Eitingen, a great

friend of Freud, came to
Palestine in 1910 and
thought of settling here, but
eventually he decided to re-
turn to Germany. However,
he never lost his interest in
Zionism and finally made
his home in Jerusalem in
1933."
In 1920, in a letter to his
close associate Ernest
Jones, Sigmund Freud
wrote that he had heard
from Chaim Weizmann
that immigrants from
Eastern Europe arrived
in Palestine with few
clothes and personal be-
longings, but with copies

of "Das Kapital" and
"The Interpretation of
Dreams" under their
arms.
Weizmann invited Dr.
David Eder to serve as a
member of the British
Zionist Commission that
came to Palestine in 1918.
Eder was the first secretary
of the British Psychoanalyt-
ical Society founded in
1913. He was a passionate
devotee of Zionism,
Socialism and
psychoanalysis.
Many educators in Pales-
tine in the early days sup-
ported the theory of
psychoanalysis. Hertz said
that it still provides a frame
of reference for the educa-
tional system of many
kibutzim.
Hadassah was always
close to the development of
psychoanalysis in Israel.
Henrietta Szold, founder of
Hadassah, approached
Eitingen for help in dealing
with the problems
encountered with children
in youth aliya, and he
willingly provided it. Eder
was considered for the post
of director-general of the
Hadassah Medical Organ-
ization but decided not to
take it.
Hadassah psychiat-
rists have always been
prominent among the
Psychoanalytical
Society, such as Profes-
sors Julius Zellermayer,
Eleazar Edelstein and
Jacob Avni.
Most people who have
read "Moses and
Monotheism" believe that
Freud was anti-Jewish to
the point of seeming to be
anti-Semitic. Hertz says
that this is not a correct in-
terpretation of Freud's atti-
tudes.
"Because of his tradi-
tional Jewish background,
he was preoccupied with,
but ambivalent about, the
land of his forefathers. But
on Dec. 10, 1917;he wrote a
letter in which he said: The
only cheerful news is the
capture of Jerusalem by the
English and the experiment
they propose about a home
for the Jews.' "
An even more remarka-
ble comment was made by
Freud in a foreword to a
memorial volume on Eder:
"We were both Jews and
knew of each other that we
carried in us that miracul-
ous thing in common which
— inaccessible to any
analyst so far — makes the
Jew."
Freud and Eitingen
hoped to set up a Chair of
Psychoanalysis at the
Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, and Freud
accepted an invitation to
become a member of the
university's first Board of
Governors. These at-
tempts failed, because
the university felt that it
wanted to have a Chair of
Psychology before intro-
ducing one of
Psychoanalysis.
Eventually, in 1977,
when the International
Psychoanalytical Associa-
tion held' its 30th Congress
in Jerusalem, the Freud

Chair of Psychoanalysis
was established.
After the state was
founded in 1948,
psychoanalysis went from
strength to strength. Erick
Gumber, one of Eitingen's
students, became president
of the society, and he was
succeeded by H. Winnik.
American psychoanalysists
rendered great assistance,
and many of them became
corresponding members of
the Society.

The dedication of the
Sigmund Freud Square,
near the Liberty Bell Gar-
den in Jerusalem, took
place during the conference
in the presence of Mayor
Teddy Kollek, a native of
Vienna, like Freud.
"I am sure that Freud
would have been very
pleased about the associa-
tion with Jerusalem, a gar-
den and Mayor Kollek,"
Hertz said.

NEW YORK — The
Jewish day school program
in Morocco is suffering from
a shortage of teachers, ac-
cording to the American
Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee (JDC).
The JDC reported that
three teachers left day
schools in Casablanca fol-
lowing the completion of the
last school year. There are
18,000 Jews currently liv-
ing in Morocco, the JDC es-
timates.
