Special to The Jewish News
A
merican Jewish Joint
Distribution Commit-
tee educational pro-
Soviet
grams
for
transmigrants in Italy this
summer strongly reflect the
JDC's new policy of encourag-
ing Soviet Jews to go to Israel
rather than the United States.
lb this end, the JDC, in con-
junction with the • Jewish
Agency, has brought to Italy a
group of 16 young Israelis —
including Russians and
Americans who have made
aliyah — to serve as role
models for the Soviets.
"It's very exciting to see,"
said JDC President Sylvia
Hassenfeld, who visited the
main concentrations of
transmigrants in the sea
towns of Ladispoli and Santa
Marinella near Rome over the
weekend. "Even if we don't
get them to go to Israel, we
want to give them a favorable
impression of Israel," she said.
Thaching about Judaism,
Israel and Jewish identity has
been a major part of the JDC's
education program for the
transmigrants — most of
whom-know virtually nothing
about Jewish traditions and
have a negative image of
Israel due to Soviet
propaganda.
Now, however, lessons on
Israel, Judaism and Hebrew
are a bigger part of the classes
run by the JDC in Ladispoli
for both adults and children,
and there is less emphasis on
American subjects.
Big Hebrew letters decorate
classrooms along with maps
and pictures of Israel, and
there are audio-visual
presentations.
Also, the Israeli "role
models" set a living example
of what young Israelis are
really like and can tell the
transmigrants about their
country.
Ricki Horowitz, a young
American woman who made
aliyah five years ago, is serv-
ing as acting director of JDC
school programs in Ladispoli
this summer. She said the idea
of using young Israelis as role
models was a good one.
"We can say, 'Look, America
is a great place, but so is
Israel, " said Horowitz, who is
teaching both English and
Hebrew. "I personally decided
to live in Israel. I'm more com-
fortable there," she said.
Said another young Israeli,
who made aliyah from the
Soviet Union 17 years ago, "I
can tell them, 'Look — I'm
Isareli. Am I so bad?' "
All the young Israelis, bet-
ween 16 and 28 years old, are
working for expenses only,
without salary.
A central part of the new
educational program is E.
special two-month-long sum-
mer camp, which provides six
days of activity weekly for
about 350 transmigrant
children between the ages of
4 and 16.
Conceived and organized by
JDC's education adviser, Dr.
David Harman, the camp is
intended to expose the
transmigrants to Israelis,
Israeli culture dm', Judaism,
within the context of summer
day camp activities.
"This summer camp is a fur-
ther instance of JDC's concern
for the education as well as
