New York (JTA) . A trip
to Israel has a positive effect
on American Jewish identi-
ty, especially when it comes
to communal participation, a
recent study has found.
"The impact of travel to
Israel on measures of Jewish
communal affiliation is more
dramatic than the impact on
holiday observance," said
Steven Cohen, professor of
sociology at Queens College,
who conducted the survey.
The study, based on 960
American Jews surveyed
and tables of data ac-
cumulated throughout 1989,
was presented orally at a re-
cent academic conference. It
will be published sometime
this summer by the Harvard
Center for Kibbutz Studies.
Among the conclusions of
the analysis is that a single
visit to Israel appears to in-
crease observance of
Shabbat by 5 percent, Purim
by 3 percent and Sukkot by 6
percent — holy days observed
by only a minority of
American Jews.
A single visit "exerts hard-
ly any impact" on obser-
vance of Passover, Chanu-
kah and Yom Kippur, which
are observed by most Jews
anyway.
Rather, it is in the area of
Jewish communal life and
political activism that a visit
to Israel has the greatest
impact. A trip increases the
liklihood of joining a syn-
agogue by 9 percentage
points, and belonging to a
Jewish organization by 18
percent.

House Members
Protesting Tour

Washington (JTA) . A
dozen members of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee
have written to President
Bush, protesting the
government-sponsored tour
of the United States by a
group of Russian nationalist
editors that includes three
persons considered anti-
Semites.
The letter, initiated by
Rep. Larry Smith (D-Fla.),
also was sent to Bruce Gelb,
director of the U.S. Informa-
tion Agency, under whose
auspices the tour is being
conducted.
While expressing their
general support for USIA
exchange programs, the
House members said the
agency "made a gross error"
in selecting persons known
for anti-Semitic views.
