Youth center fosters harmony The Cultural Community and Youth Center in Haifa is more widely, and perhaps more appro- priately, known as The Arab- Jewish Friendship Center. While there are many community and youth centers throughout Israel, Beit Hagefen has, for two decades, been promoting Jewish-Arab friendship and cooperation. Zvi Israel, the director of the center, believes that the two popu- lations can live together peace- fully. The center's 6,000 registered members (60 percent Arab, 40 percent Jewish) have from the start been favorably disposed towards the concept of an equal interrelationship between the two, says Israel. Many of the members are firm believers in the idea of Jewish-Arab harmony. In this respect, the center caters to a specific public. The Arab mem- bers, citizens of Israel are aware of the fact that they are members of an Israeli institution, where loy- alty to Israel is taken for granted, as is the belief in equality be- tween all Israeli citizens, Jews and Arabs alike. Set up in Feb. 1963, the center was the brainchild of the then mayor of Haifa, Abba Khousky. Beit Hagefen was conceived as a center for both the Arab and Jewish communities, whose clear purpose was to bring Jews and Arabs closer together. Activities and facilities at the center include a library, tutorial services, various adult education classes and cultural programs. Director Israel puts special em- phasis on the regular get- togethers beteen Arab and Jewish high school students. The gather- ings between both students and teachers serve the purpose of promoting dialogue on Arab- Jewish relations in all its aspects. Beit Hagefen received the "Quality of Life" award from the Knesset in Dec. 1983 for its efforts in promoting Jewish-Arab rela- tions.
