Foundation Sends
Teens To Israel
New York (JTA) — A trip to
Israel will become as univer-
sal a rite of passage for
American JcWish youth as a
bar or bat mitzvah, if a new
multimillion dollar effort
succeeds.
The five-year project will
set aside funds to help local
federations promote summer
trips to Israel and to provide
scholarships for teens inter-
ested in taking the trips.
Those involved hope to
raise the number of young
Jews traveling to Israel from
the current 8,000 a year to at
least 50,000 annually by the
year 2000. There are an
estimated 350,000 Jewish
teen-agers in the United
States and Canada.
Leading the newly-
announced effort is the CRB
Foundation, which for five
years has been researching
the impact of Israel trips on
Jewish identity. Partners
with the foundation are the
United Jewish Appeal, the
Council of Jewish Federa-
tions, the Jewish Commun-
ity Centers Association and
Jewish Education Service of
North America.
"The Israel experience
holds great promise for
heightening awareness,
strengthening identity and
making a significant con-
tribution to contemporary
Jewish life, education and
Jewish continuity," said
bharles Bronfman, presi-
dent of the CRB Foundation,
'• as he announced the new
program to 3,000 delegates
attending the General
Assembly of the Council of
Jewish Federations last
week.
"Here you have a powerful
and viable educational vehi-
cle, proven by all of the
studies to have an enormous
impact on personal identity
and key decisions made later
in life, and it is taken advan-
tage of by an insignificant
number of our young," said
Peter Geffen, program offi-
cer for Israel trips at the
Montreal-based foundation.
The initial program will
provide grants to up to 12
communities that agree to
match the money and make
Israel trips a community.
priority.
The UJA will provide
$750,000 worth of grants
over three years, which will
form the bulk of the funding.
Rabbi Brian Lurie, UJA ex-
ecutive vice president, has
for some time called for all
Jewish youth to visit Israel.
The CRB Foundation has
spent $1.5 million annually
the past few years resear-
ching the issue and setting
up the framework for this
new effort.
The participation of the
UJA and CJF in the project
will send the message that
the Israel experience, as the
teen programs are calle-
a communal priority and —
though this is being left
unstated — that the moi, 3:

For the project to work,
Mr. Geffen said he expected
that each dollar offered by
the consortium of the foun-
dation and agencies will
have to be matched by three
dollars from the local com-
munity.
