Are there those who are less
than diligent in their obliga-
tions? Of course there are.
That's life!
Our obligation, as I see it, is
to welcome all Jewish refugees
with open arms and to be
thankful that we, as a commu-
nity, have something to offer
them and can continue our tra-
dition of caring for others. For
those of us who have been in
similar situations, there is noth-
ing to be gained by comparing
the assistance they receive to
what we or our families received
when we came to this country.
We.would have been grateful for
more, but perhaps in those
times there was no more to be
had.
For those of us who were
never in the position where we
needed to rely on the Jewish
community for assistance: but
for a quirk of fate, we, too, could
have found ourselves in a simi-
lar position. We gain more by
focusing on what we have ac-
complished and what we can po-
tentially contribute to others
who are less fortunate than our-
selves. To do otherwise, is to
lose our Jewish spirit and our
well deserved role as a leading
Jewish community in the Unit-
ed States. ❑

sraeli children may be
bright, independent and
lively but they are not
generally known for their
courtesy and decorum. In
fact, many observers criticize
their common (though not
universal) tendency to make
a point by loudly and
forcefully expressing their
opinion rather than by
respectfully responding to
another point of view.
The Israel Debating Socie-
ty hopes to change all that.
Founded only four years ago,
the organization has grown so
quickly that today some 280
schools take part in its pro-
grams, 5,000 teachers have
been trained in debating
society methods, and its aims
have been endorsed by the
Ministry of Education.
The Israel Debating Socie-
ty was the idea of Ann Swir-
sky, a former member of a
local municipal council
education committee and the
Association for Civil Rights
in Israel. "My experience
with these groups," she said,
"convinced me that Israel had
something to learn about
logical, polite discussion. One
way to improve these skills, I
determined, would be to in-
troduce children to the
classical English art of
debate." Debate, she was con-
vinced, would also increase
confidence, raise the level of
public speaking and ultimate-
ly develop leadership
capabilities.
Ms. Swirsky recruited pro-
minent educators and judicial
figures for a governing board
and set about interesting
teachers in introducing a
slightly modified form of
classical debate to their
students.
Students first found the
ground rules of debate
strange, but they soon caught
on.
A typical debating team
has four speakers. Three of
them debate, and the fourth
sums up. When the two teams
have finished presenting
their case, the debate is open-
ed to the floor and any au-
dience member can con-
tribute an opinion. The au-
dience then votes on the mo-
tion by going to stand by the
team they support.
The chairperson also is a
student, as is the panel of

judges, who give constructive
criticism, usually on the
quality of the debate.
Topics range from moral,
political and philosophical
issues, such as "we believe
verbal violence leads to
physical violence," to light-
hearted topics such as "we
believe boys should wear ear-
rings" and "the way I keep
my room is my own business."
The speaker stands while
speaking and no one may in-
terrupt. When the speaker's
time is up, he must stop talk-
ing.
