Jews And Arabs
Study Each Other
If interest in Jewish-Arab
cross-cultural exchange is any
gauge of the prospects for
peace, then one can take
heart from the upsurge of ac-
tivity at the Martin Buber In-
stitute for Adult Education at
the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem.
Over 500 students took part
in the Hebrew-Arabic adult
language classes (known as
ulpan) conducted during 1991
by the institute — a number
significantly higher than in
any year since the beginning
of the intifada.
The language program — in
which Arabs and Jews study
the language of their
neighbor and get to know
each other informally during
coffee breaks — is one facet of
interethnic dialogue in the
spirit of the late German-
Jewish philosopher Martin
Buber that is carried out by
the Buber Institute's Forum
for Multi-Cultural Com-
munication. The Forum is
supported by the Harms
Seidel Foundation of
Germany.
In particular, heightened
interest was shown in 1991 by
Arabs wanting to learn
Hebrew, said Kalman Yaron,
head of the Forum. The Arabi
students constituted more
than two-thirds of the total /-
students, and he believes that
hope generated by the peace
process was a contributing
factor in encouraging more
Arabs, most of them young
people with a strong educa-
tional background, to learn
Hebrew and to become ac-
quainted with Israeli society.
The upsurge is also indicative
of the confidence in the in-
tegrity of the Buber In-
stitute's Hebrew-Arabic ulpan
that has been built up over
the 25 years of its existence,
said Mr. Yaron.
The enrollment in the first
trimester of 1992 indicates
that this year will result in
even larger numbers of Arab
participants in the program,
said Mr. Yaron.
In addition to their
language studies, a signifi-
cant number of the students
in the ulpan also participated
this past year in joint pro-
grams focused on socio-
political and religious issues
affecting the Arab-Israeli
peace process and Arab-
Jewish co-existence. Social
and cultural encounters were
conducted with various
ethnic groups in Israeli socie-
ty, such as Bedouins, Druze
and Circassians, and inter-
faith dialogues were held
with representatives of the
Moslem and Christian Arab
