Assimilation
Fight Vowed
Expanded and intensified
new programs of Jewish educa-
tion both in Israel and the
Diaspora are required to com-
bat the "surging problems of
assimilation and intermar-
riage" confronting Sephardi
Jewry, according to Nessim D.
Gaon, president of the World
Sephardi Federation.
Addressing a joint meeting
of the American Zionist As-
sembly and the American
Sephardi Federation in
Philadelphia, attended by
David Levy, Israel's deputy
prime minister, Gaon warned
that "lack of modern educa-
tional, cultural and religious
facilities" was threatening
"the continuity of our tradi-
tions and heritage.
"If we do not involve our
generation of young people, if -
we do not inculcate them with
an appreciation of their culture
and their roots, Sephardi
Jewry will become an historic
memory."
In his address to the dele-
gates, Levy, himself a
Sephardi, endorsed Gaon's call
for a return to tradition,
Sephardi roots and Jewish ob-
servance. Of 12 million Jews
living outside Israel, approx-
imately 1.2 million, or ten per-
cent, are of Sephardi heritage.
Gaon told the conference
that he had appointed a special
task force to study the dimen-
sions of the problems and to de-
termine how best to
"realistically" deal with them.
He said the World Sephardi
Federation, in conjunction
with local Sephardi commu-
nity leaders and educators in
Israel and the Diaspora, would
evaluate existing programs for
reaching the younger genera-
tion and "in concert with the
World Zionist Organization
and Jewish Agency, launch a
vigorous outreach program to
instill this generation with
traditional values of worship,
learning and sacred deeds."
He said the new programs
would require "larger budgets"
and expressed confidence that
they would be secured.
Israeli 'Vets'
Enter Lebanon
Jerusalem — Every so often
a group of Israeli veterinarians
crosses the Lebanese border to
establish an unusual kind of
"security zone."
According to Prof. Nathan
Ayalon, a visiting professor at
the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem's Koret School of
Veterinary Medicine, the vets
regularly enter Lebanon to in-
oculate Lebanese cattle and
sheep against rinderpest and
foot-and-mouth disease.
