Jewish Students
Gather In Israel
Arad, Israel (JTA) — "We're
here to make a difference,"
said Dasee Berkowitz, one of
300 students from 40 coun-
tries attending this week's
World Gathering of the
World Union of Jewish
Students.
Ms. Berkowitz, a 20-year-
old student at Barnard Col-
lege in New York, was not
just spouting platitudes. A
year ago, she and other Jew-
ish students decided to
create an organization that
would bring Jewish young
people back to their roots.
Today, their organization,
called Lights in Action,
disseminates information
about Judaism, Zionism and
Jewish culture to 50,000
American college students.
"We had to do something
to reignite the flame of Jew-
ish pride and identity, and
this is what we came up
with," said Ms. Berkowitz,
sitting in the packed
auditorium of the Arad
Community Center, where
much of the conference took
place.
"You see all these
students? Each one is work-
ing in his or her community,
trying to foster Jewish con-
tinuity."
Jewish leaders agree that
at a time when assimilation
is at an all-time high and an
ti-Semitism is rampant, such
student activists are at a
premium.
Judging from the im-
pressive list of speakers who
addressed the participants,
the students' efforts were
taken seriously.
"You are the future of the
Jewish people," Ignatz
Bubis, the head of the Jew-
ish community in Germany,
told the gathering during
the opening-night ceremony.
"We are again experienc-
ing anti-Semitic incidents in
Germany, and throughout
Europe," Mr. Bubis said.
"But I have faith in the
young people.
"Last month, six young
people organized a huge
demonstration against anti-
Semitism and violence
against foreigners. I'm pro-
ud to say that three of the six
were Jewish," he said.
Sometimes being a leader
requires personal sacrifice,
said Hebrew University Pro-
fessor Barry Chazan. "We
need a whole new generation
of Jewish leaders, and that
will mean that a lot of you
will have to throw away
your law books and medical
texts.
"We desperately need Jew-
ish teachers and communal
workers who know about
Judaism," he said. "I know
many of you don't want to be
Jewish teachers, but neither
did Jeremiah.
"But God said, 'Go
wherever I send you.' And he
did."
Dr. Ahmed Tibi, chairman
of the Association of Arab
Academics, called on the
youths to maintain an open
mind with regard to the
peace process and the Pales-
tinians.
"For many years, Arabs
refused to speak to Israelis.
They refused to negotiate.
But in the past two to three
years, the Arab world has
undergone an ideological
revolution."
Dr. Tibi said the Palestine
Liberation Organization
"has openly declared its
willingness to talk directly
with the Israeli government

and its representatives.
Regretfully, these calls have
not yet been answered.
"In the meantime, victims
are falling on both sides," he
said.
Though the vast majority
of students rejected many of
Dr. Tibi's claims, including
his assertion that east
Jerusalem is occupied ter-
ritory, they admired what
they termed his courage in
coming to speak to a group of
student Zionists.
"We've been presented
with a wide range of opi-
nions, and I appreciate
that," said Jakov Pekovic, a
student at the University of
Belgrade in Serbia.
"I came to this conference
first and foremost to meet
other Jewish students and
exchange information and
ideas. Back in Belgrade,
there are only 2,500 Jews,
and we feel very isolated,"
said Mr. Pekovic, referring
to the situation that has
arisen with the civil war in
what used to be Yugoslavia.
