"z4 4 4 .1.1 ! '
Haifa — While there can be no
real substitute for organized, sys-
tematic Jewish education for -
children and young people, the
role played by voluntary youth
organizations through their clubs
and various activities must not be
minimized. In many cases such
organizations supplement the
more formal program of the
Jewish schools; in other in-
stances, they provide tens of
thousands of young folks with
their only contact with organized
Jewish life.
Future adult attitudes toward
Israel, toward the Jewish com-
munity and toward Jewish life as _
a whole are influenced by the ex-
periences derived by young people
from their association with such
clubs.
There are many splendid organ-
izations, with positive programs.
If I write today about Young
Judaea it is because that body is
now celebrating its 75th anniver-
sary as the oldest Zionist youth
organization in the United States.
Young Judaea was unique
among the Zionist youth groups
because it sought to inculcate a
broad ideology, not linked to one
partisan group or another. That
principle continues to guide it, _
even during times when some of
the intense political ideologies
and loyalties in Israel are ex-
ported, seeking to duplicate in
Diaspora communities that very
political fragmentation which is
today the curse of political life in
Israel.
We never referred to Young
Judaea as a "movement." It did
not and still does not demand the
loyalty and devotion of its mem-
bers to the exclusion of other
interests and attachments. Young
Judaea has always sought to
influence young people's thinking
positively, but has always drawn
the line at absorbing them com-
pletely to the exclusion even, as in
some cases, of their own families.
Young Judaea was derided by,
its more radical counterparts be-
cause, while it encouraged aliyah,
even in the pre-state days, it did
not make such aliyah a sine qua
non of its program. Yet as matters
turned out, thousands of former
Judaeans are today to be found in
almost every circle in Israel. Pre-
cisely because they are not or-
ganized as a separate political
group they are not visible here as
a body, yet time and again I am
impressed with the many Ameri-
cans here in Israel who trace their
first interest in Zionism back to
their affiliations with a Young
Judaean club in the community of
their birth.
One of the few instances of a
significant undertaking clearly
identified as Young Judaean, is
its Kibbutz Ketura, founded a
dozen years ago in the desert, just
north of Eilat.
The organization has served the
Jewish people outside of Israel as
well. Young Judaean alumni are
today to be found among the lead-
ers of the Jewish community in
the United States, and even when
not "leaders," they are numbered
among those American Jews who
are positively identified with a
proud Jewish existence.
