Searching For Identity
Young
American
Zionists are struggling to
find an identity and to
make their movement re-
levant again. "It took us
ten years to get together,
because it took us that
long to realize that we
were here and not (in Is-
rael) and there is some-
thing we can do (for Israel
here)," explains Judy
Loebl of the Labor Zionist
Alliance's Branch 960, a
group of Detroiters in
their 30s who grew up in
Socialist-Zionist youth
groups, and who either
never made it to Israel, or
returned to Detroit after
living there.
The group coalesced
about two years ago.
While affiliated with LZA,
the group tries to main-
tain its own unique iden-
tity. Still, members realize
that if they don't inte-
grate into the LZA estab-
lishment, the veteran
organization will cease to
be within a matter of
years. The recent death at
age 79 of LZA president
Morris Lieberman served
stark notice of this fact. "If
we wanted to take over
the organization, they
would be thrilled," says.
Loebl. "As we get stronger,
we're starting to get more
involved."
With an active member-
ship of between 25 and 35,
Branch 960 is diminutive
compared to young adult
branches of Jewish fund
raising organizations.
The Jewish Welfare
Federation's Young 'Adult
Division mustered 160
people to make phone calls
on Super Sunday, accord-
ing to Marsha Kelter,
YAD's staff professional.
One hundred-forty
attended a $100 fundraiser
recently.
"The best and the
brightest" come to Federa-
tion work from YAD, she
maintains.
Israel. Bonds measures
the success of its three-
year-old New Leadership
Division in terms of sales.
1986 figures of $500,000
show a five-fold increase
over 1985's $100,000 in
sales, a growth rate which
Don Wagner, Detroit's
NLD general co-chairman,
terms "reasonably and
moderately successful."
Wagner indicates that
Bonds is confident it will
successfully make the gen-
erational transition. "The
veteran leadership has an
ingrained empathy with
the State of Israel." To-
day's bond buyer; by con-
trast, lacks that empathy
and has to be sold on
Bonds as a good invest-
ment. "We have to be
competitive in this market
to sell a security."
The New Leadership Di-
vision can attract 140
people to its activities,
Wagner says. That's quite
a jump from the six people
who established NLD but,
he cautions, "It's still a
long hard road to go."
Both Hadassah and
Naamat women's Zionist
organizations have young
adult chapters. According
to Detroit Hadassah
President Susan Yorke,
Detroit sent a delegation
of seven to a National
Young Leaders Institute
meeting in New York last
November.
Karen
Weingarden
joined
- Naamat's
Shoshanim chapter about
six years ago. "I became
involved because I am a
Zionist. My goal was to
help women and children,
not just in the U.S. and Is-
rael."
Shoshanim has an active
core of seven to ten
women, aged 28 to 35, she
says.
