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.

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. - Located near- the heart of , Continued on Page 48 The State of Israel provides an exhilarating setting for academic pursuits, -with many dynamic programs. Unique possibilities include working with a disadvan- taged child, viewing the agricultural techniques of a 1db- butz, learning scuba diving at an internationally renowned Center for Marine Studies, and interning for Middle East research studies. Classes for overseas students are taught in English, and credit may be transferred to home universities. Scholarship help is available.
