' 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.
