THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
cated in the United States.
Advising prior to Tegistra-
tion was available and great-
ly encouraged. Each semes-
ter, we were required to par-
ticipate in at least five cours-
es. Usually Israeli univer-
sities operate six days a
week; however, the Tel Aviv
University overseas program
' scheduled classes for' a five
day week to allow more free
time for foreign students.
General studies subjects,
such as accounting, psycho-
logy, biology and English
literature, were offered. Nev-
ertheless, Israel and Jewish
studies were the primary em-
phasis. Unique courses
ranged from "Holocaust in
Film" to "History of U.S. In-
volvement in the Middle
East," from "Wisdom Litera-
ture of the Bible" to "Social
Analysis of the Disadvan-
taged in Israeli Society."
Special options could be chos-
en, including field 'experience
in an underprivileged neigh-
borhood or an internship at
the Shiloach Center for Mid-
dle East Research.
Perhaps more importantly,
throughout the semester our
"dassropm" included the en-
tire country. By our numer-
ous trips, we gained further
insight into a region, a state,
and a people.
In the Timnah Valley, we
saw ancient chariot drawings
on cave walls, while in a Ne-
gev research center we viewed
modern attempts to seed
clouds in order to change the
ever-dry weather of southern
Israel. We visited controver-
sial development towns and
listened to complex and often
disturbing speeches about
the future. All these univer-
sity sponsored tours, usually
conducted on weekends and
vacations, were an integral
part of the program.
We were also encouraged
to mingle with Israeli stu-
dents by participating in
seminars, joining folk danc-
ing groups, and chatting at
the campus cafes. Many of us
regularly visited the Tel Aviv
University sports center,
which offered tennis and bas-
, ketball courts, a soccer sta-
dium, track, and large swim.-
ming pool. -
