"But I think there is a de-

sides now. People who are
heading Jewish communities
in the United States today
are active in federations. And
notwithstanding the wishes
of Israelis to see every Jew,
especially every Jew from a
Western country, make
aliyah — there is a clear
understanding on their part
that this is just not practical
and that it isn't going to hap-
pen."
The Service Corps is geared

Jewish emigres as they ad-

to solve agricultural prob-

or even working in a nature
center.
Alter sees the three months
working in the country's
industrial sector as one of the
keys to a better understand-
ing of Israel. "In the past,
Americans and American
Jews coming to Israel have
been sort of isolated from the
way the Israeli economy op-
erates. We hope to change
that."
Every four or five weeks a
recess, or hafsakah, will be
scheduled. In addition to a
